“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She's reliable and is great at communicating. The kitties liked her a lot. We felt at ease being away because we felt our fur babies were in great hands. We would love to work with Amanda again in the future :)”
“Courtney was great. Easy to schedule and replied quickly. She took great care of the dogs and we will definitely call her again. She did everything we asked perfectly and the dogs really liked her.”
About: I’m a reliable and caring dog walker who truly enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and exercised. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality, whether they love long walks, quick potty breaks, or extra sniff time. I’m responsible, punctual, and treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time at Trader Joe’s and am a full time student at Sonoma State University! I do have a lot on my plate but I like to be busy so if I’m available to spend time with your dog I’m more than happy to! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life ranging from different breeds such as yorkies to pit bulls so I know how to cater to each dog specifically. Your dog’s safety comes first. I’m reliable, attentive, and follow your instructions carefully, making sure every walk is calm, secure, and enjoyable.
“Patty is extremely friendly, communicative, and reliable. This was my first time using a pet sitter and, as soon as I met her, I felt instantly at ease. She is very loving with the dogs, and conscientiously takes care of each task that I request, even changing pee pads for me! I could not have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. She is so professional that the whole process felt incredibly easy and stress-free.”
About: I have had cats/dogs my entire life and am extremely comfortable caring for all types of pets. My love and passion for animals shines through. I have ample time to care for your fur babies. I am available on weekends as well. I am in town for the next few months and have very flexible availability. I provide lots of quality time, treats, stimulation, and love! I am very open to any requests/special needs your pet has. I will provide the best care possible!
About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.
About: I have two cats who I live hanging out with. I have had a dog in the past and have taken care of reptiles before. I work a full time but always do the best i can to provide care for furry pals. Dog parks and long walks are the best!! I allow any pet to get comfortable with me first, I wont force myself onto them so they feel safe and confortable around me when they are ready.
“Our cat and chickens were well cared for by Jill during several days of drop in visits. Jill welcomed and fulfilled my detailed requests for their care and provided daily updates to confirm that all was well with our animals.”
“Brynn (Ash) came through for me in a pinch. Thank you! Another caretaker that I lined up via Rover canceled on me during the first day of my trip at a point where I was already miles away in another state. In a panic I searched for someone else and Brynn wasn’t just willing to help, they were willing to head over to my home to check-in on my cat 10 minutes after we had finalized arrangements! Communication was easy, clear, and consistent. I will absolutely looking for their support again when I have to travel and leave my elderly cat at home!”
About: Since my teen years I've been entrusted with the care of dogs, cats and the homes of many friends, family, acquaintances, and community members at large. I am detail oriented, patient, dependable and empathetic. I am a lover of dogs and cats alike and I truly I feel that I have connected deeply with every animal I have ever met. I have had some experience with puppies and kittens, as well as senior/ disabled animals. I grew up with animals but do not currently have any of my own. I work as a creative professional and often work at home, but I have developed a mobile workspace. I would be honored to assist you and your furry ones! I am a freelance musician and video producer. On occasion, I am in the field filming, or performing, however I spend most of my time at home on the computer coordinating and editing projects. I have been blessed with a flexible schedule which has enabled me to have the availability to assist others with their sweet pets. I am flexible and willing to exercise, administer meds, clean-up after, and provide company, play, and cuddles. I am sensitive to your needs and the needs of your loved one(s).
About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for over 30 years, and I understand that our pets are truly members of the family. Whether they’re playful, affectionate, independent, shy, or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. I have extensive personal experience caring for both dogs and cats and appreciate their unique personalities and needs. From energetic dogs who love attention and companionship to independent cats who prefer affection on their own terms, I enjoy building trust and helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a registered nurse, I bring an additional level of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m experienced in following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or well-being. I understand how especially important this can be for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide the same warmth, respect, and attentiveness I would want for my own pets, while keeping you connected through regular updates, photos, and open communication. Whether your furry family member needs companionship, playtime, reassurance, or simply a calm and caring presence, I would love the opportunity to get to know them! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care around each animal’s individual needs. I enjoy peaceful environments, spending time with animals, and maintaining familiar routines. I believe consistency and companionship make a meaningful difference in helping pets feel comfortable while their families are away. I prefer to discuss each pet’s schedule, personality, and care requirements in advance so I can make sure we’re a wonderful fit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and entrust them with a beloved family member. As a registered nurse, I’m accustomed to maintaining safe environments, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to changes that may require additional care or communication. I respect each household’s routines, boundaries, and preferences. I take care to maintain a clean, peaceful environment, secure doors and gates, and follow feeding, medication, and household instructions carefully. I believe in open communication and will provide updates and photos throughout our time together. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and a home that has been treated with care and respect.
About: I have around five years of practical experience in providing dependable care for pets belonging to friends and family members. My pet experience includes walking, bathing, arranging meal times and treat routines, as well as enjoying quality time with them while their owners are away, sometimes for weeks at a time. Therefore, I feel quite confident in my ability to care for any dog for extended periods. Plus, I genuinely love going for daily walks every morning, and dogs always manage to bring a smile to my face. Since I'm on break, I'll be free Monday through Saturday, 5 days a week. What hours work best for you will work best for me! I will always review the guidelines given by my client for house-sitting or dog-walking services, and I will make sure to follow any additional instructions to a T. When I first meet a cat or dog, I take the time to understand the animal's temperament, checking for any signs of anxiety or specific likes and dislikes. I care a lot in ensuring that the pets feel secure when around someone new. After that, I simply enjoy spending time with them, hoping that they will grow to appreciate my company too!
“Everything went perfectly, they were great at communicating and our dog was happy when we returned! They worked so well with us for a last minute booking and we were grateful! Thanks again!”
About: I absolutely love animals! Dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it! I grew up with cats my entire life and got my first puppy of my own during quarantine (a yellow lab). I have additional experience caring for all kinds of dogs, dog sitting, dog walking, etc. (I nannied for a family with a labradoodle for 3 years.) I currently work in an emergency department. My schedule is a 2 week schedule that repeats, so I’m available every other weekend, every other Mon/Tues and every other Thurs/Fri. I’m hoping to find a few clients who are flexible as well! Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide home services at my own home as my boyfriend and I have 3 kitties and 1 dog of our own (unless your doggo is comfortable around cats).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hessel
Lexi was amazing! We hired her last minute to do drop-ins for our dog and cats while we were away for 3 days and hired her to do a couple of walks throughout the stay. She updated me with pictures so I knew when the pets were fed and my dog was brought in for the night. My dog looked so happy on his walks too. Awesome sitter.
Patty is extremely friendly, communicative, and reliable. This was my first time using a pet sitter and, as soon as I met her, I felt instantly at ease. She is very loving with the dogs, and conscientiously takes care of each task that I request, even changing pee pads for me! I could not have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. She is so professional that the whole process felt incredibly easy and stress-free.
This should really be at least 10 stars. Julie is a true professional. She clearly loves animals and orivided such loving care. Iline if the most difficult things anout my recent move to California was finding care for the cats when we travel. Pip especially needs extra TLC and must be medicated daily. Julie quickly got through the business of the day and spent some quality time each day with the “kids.” Couldn’t be happier!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hessel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,456 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hessel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 with handling special pet needs in Hessel. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
