About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant dogs like Great Pyrenees. I also have a 13-year-old tabby cat, so I understand the importance of patient, attentive care and keeping pets comfortable in their routines. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Currently have an open schedule and can pet sit any day/time! I am also available most weekends and weekdays for boarding, walking, and/or at home visits. I have a enclosed 2nd floor balcony, and plenty of nearby walking trails that I am happy to take your pup out on. Also flexible and can come to you.

About: I have loved animals as well as caring for them as long as I can remember. I feel as if a pet should protected and provided for under any circumstances. I am a firm adopter myself and love to bring comfort to those in need. I believe that animals are solely the most precious, comforting beings on Earth; I am currently working part-time as a Shift Lead at 7Brew and a college student, though I am very flexible. In between those two I am typically at home taking care of my own fur babies and household needs. In my own home, I ensure my dogs get ample play time, are always stocked with food and water, and to meet their current needs, we take a certain time of our day to work meet our training requirements. In other homes I will provide protection, ensure health needs, and promise the upmost affection.

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, both young and old! Dogs mean the world to me, and I'd love to support your furry loved ones! I work remotely full-time from home, so I'm able to fit quality pet care easily into my schedule. Since I control my own hours, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and constant companionship throughout the day. I currently have a large fenced yard with a doggy door that gives pets easy outdoor access. I always supervise outdoor playtime to ensure safety and double-check all gates are securely locked before letting any animals out.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

About: Experienced pet sitter and proud pet parent to a corgi and two cats! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including those who need extra patience with potty training or medication administration. As a young professional with plenty of free time before starting my full-time job, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, attentive care. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, or overnight house sitting, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and personalized attention while you’re away.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I used to be certified in Veterinary Assisting when I lived out of state and worked at a dog day care and boarding facility for many years. I do work a full time job at a bank, so I have availability every afternoon to help fit in evening walks. With that being said, most of my weekends are also free. I have a fenced in yard that keeps my dogs contained while they are out and provides ample amount of running space. I have experience and knowledge in group play.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Herrin on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 76 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Herrin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Herrin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
