“Kearsten took fantastic care of my boy! She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout my entire trip. It was such a relief knowing my boy was in good hands while I was gone. I highly recommend Kearsten!”
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
“I asked Sara to help me socialize my adopted, shelter dog. So, instead of a typical drop in, I was present for the visit. Sara was very patient and friendly with my dog and she knew exactly how to interact with her (get down low, avoid eye contact, continously give her treats, and let my dog approach her while telling her what a good girl she is). I was so relieved that I didnt have to explain all of that to her. My dog is so loving and affectionate but is super slow to trust people, but she was taking treats out of Sara's hand immediately. I have asked her to come back, so my dog can get to know the same person before introducing her to more people. I am confident that her and my dog will become great friends.”
“Kari did a fantastic job checking up on my two cats while I was out of the country. She even took pics which I know is not an easy task with my cats…they’re either elusive or constantly moving. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kari for her services again in the future.”
“This was my first trip away from my pup for a few days and didn’t quite know what to expect. Jeanette was excellent. She arrived a few minutes before scheduled times everyday, and going off the pictures she sends you can tell she really cares. I would definitely recommend if you want your pup just as happy when you come back as when you left.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and keeping us updated while we were out of town! She is very sweet and makes leaving your fur babies behind a little easier. Highly recommend!”
“Greg is a superstore. Great guy. Loves animals. And he even got my dog to like him and my dog doesn’t like ANYBODY… Except me, and now Greg. I’m sure Woody is looking forward to the next time and we are looking forward to the next time when we have to trust somebody with our 16-year-old four leggedroommate!”
“Gretchen was the best sitter I have ever had on Rover! She dropped in on my high energy lab mix Finn while I was traveling for a few days. She sent great updates and is a wonderful photographer! She also was very willing to do all the funny little detailed things that Finn needs. I will definitely be using her again!!!!”
“Sam took great care of my cat while on vacation. She always communicated clearly and promptly! She was happy to accommodate any special requests as well. I was relieved to know that she would be checking in daily. Will definitely use Sam before anyone else when planning my next trip.”
About: I've been lucky enough to be trusted with so many pets, from bearded dragons to Great Danes, and would love to be able to add yours to that number! I can accommodate everything from drop ins on a Tuesday to week long house sits. I specialize in special requests, and won't hesitate to sing happy birthday so they'll go outside (it wouldn't be the first time), or whatever silliness your pet needs to be comfortable until you return. I have experience across the spectrum from puppies under 6 months old to senior dogs. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, I can't wait to meet your baby! My schedule is flexible and open, I am available for as many drops ins or walks as needed! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or special requests. I love to get as many details as possible about your pet's routine and needs to best accommodate them in your home. I can send daily photos, videos, or whatever will make you feel comfortable while I am with your pet! Your peace of mind is my priority while they are in my care. I also have a very friendly medium sized dog that could act as a playmate if there are any concerns about your dog getting lonely. 🐕
About: I have over a decade of dedicated experience in animal care, beginning with a lifetime of raising family cats and dogs. For 12 years, I was the proud owner of a British Bombay. My formal experience includes a 10-year tenure as a volunteer at the Southern Pines Animal Shelter in Hattiesburg, MS, where I assisted with kennel maintenance, exercise programs, and medical care, including administering vaccinations,. Currently, I am expanding my professional expertise by working towards AKC certifications to ensure the highest standard of care for every pet I work with. I am currently working a full-time job, but I have some flexibility. My availability for house sits is wide open. My availability for drop-ins & walks: - All day Tuesday, Thursday, & Sunday - Monday & Wednesday 6 am - 10 am - Friday & Saturday after 6 pm I have a large fenced in back yard and a friendly pitbull to keep your dog company. I can easily separate the animals if necessary and or crate your dog.
“Huntter is absolutely fantastic!!! He came over before the visit to walk through everything and meet the kitties. He is very smart and easy to talk to, and picked up on all of our routines and instructions very easily. When it came time for the trip, Huntter was incredibly punctual and communicative. He sent pics, took amazing care of our cats, and also some various other things our house needed while we were gone for a week. We came home to everything looking perfect, and most importantly, two very happy healthy kitties! We HIGHLY recommend Huntter and we are so thankful for the wonderful care for Peach and Ripple!”
About: I grew up with lots of pets! I have taken care of cats/kittens, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, fish, and horses! I currently live with an 18lb hunk of a cat named Tigger, who has some chronic health needs. I also volunteer taking care of a small herd of goats (and their guard dog) on Maclellan Island. While newer to the official pet-sitting world, I have the skills and experience to care for your fur babies 😍 I work full-time (M-F, 8-5), so my availability is limited on weekdays. I'm fairly flexible on Mondays (wfh), and other weekdays I'm only available for drop-ins/walks early in the morning (6-7am) or later in the evenings (after 5:30pm). Weekends are pretty flexible as long as I have advanced notice! My home is my cat's domain, so I cannot host other furry friends in my house. I am a highly responsible and consciousness person and will be a good steward of your home and property when walking or dropping in on your pets!

Thank you Kearsten for all your help with Tallulah and all the extras you did while visiting. She and Frenchy will miss you! 💕. You have been a blessing and provided peace of mind while I was at work knowing the fur babies were in excellent care! Wishing all the joy and blessings in your time off!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hixson on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 872 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hixson. 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 Hixson 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 with handling special pet needs in Hixson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
