“Sara stepped in for 2 weeks while my regular sitter was unavailable and Kallie has loved spending time with her. They've been on walks every day, during her mid-day check in. Having this service with someone I feel comfortable with and trust is SO helpful. It also brings peace of mind that my pup gets some love while I'm at work. Grateful for Sara - would recommend and will use again!”
“Very good - Jessie was flexible when weather changed our plans and provided good updates. Our dog just wanted to lie in bed, but Jessie tried to coax her into some exercise and was willing to stay the full 30 minutes.”
About: I started dog sitting for neighbors when I was in middle school and now I’m in my forties so that’s a few decades of experience! I’m a teacher looking to make some money over summer break, but I also want to pet and cuddle as many dogs and cats as possible while I’m at it. I will love your pets as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet them! (I also have four cats and two dogs of my own.) I’m a teacher on summer break, so my availability is wide open! Happy to stop by as many times as needed to take care of your furbabies. My dogs are young golden retrievers, so I’m quite familiar and comfortable with high energy pups. I’m extra cautious about hot asphalt on sunny summer days, and I’ll try my best to ensure your pup doesn’t use your neighbors lawn as a potty! I will take my time with your pets and get to know them so that they will hopefully be as happy to see me as I am to see them! I won’t just rush in and out, I’ll give them some extra pets and hugs and make sure they know that they’re the best boy/ girl in the world!
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life whether it be the 2 dogs that have been part of my family or taking care of neighbors dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible and I would be available at most hours of the day. I have experience taking care of older dogs who just need someone to hang out with and I’ve taken care of younger hyper dogs that warrant extra attention. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off leash and crating them if need be.
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, I had two cats and a dog, and I currently have one dog and one cat of my own. I have experience with overnight pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even a turtle, including caring for senior dogs and their unique needs. I love animals of all kinds and can't wait to meet and care for your pets! I currently have a very flexible schedule and can very easily fit into your pets lifestyle and needs. I am open daily and most weekends. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on building trust and helping them feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I follow each pet's routine and tailor my care to their individual needs, whether that means providing plenty of playtime and mental stimulation or creating a calm, relaxing atmosphere. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can respond appropriately and ensure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!”
About: Hello! I’m Leigh, and I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. From dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards and more, animals have always been a big part of my life. I truly believe that every pet deserves the utmost care, attention, and love, and I treat each one I care for as if they were my own. With decades of experience looking after a variety of pets, I’ve learned the importance of patience, kindness, and consistency in building trust with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just a cuddle, I’m there to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m attentive to their unique needs, and I always strive to make sure they feel comfortable and loved in my care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry, feathered, or scaly friend like family, I’d love to be the one to help! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a meet-and-greet. Looking forward to meeting your pet! 🐾 I’m primarily available during the day on weekdays for walks and drop ins, but I can be flexible and arrange evening and weekend care as needed. Just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! When pet-sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I maintain a secure environment, sticking to your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure your pet feels at ease with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping it clean and tidy. Your pet’s well-being and peace of mind are my top priorities while you’re away!
“Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.”
“Cindy takes such good care of our dog. As he gets older it’s so much harder to leave him but she communicates with us so well and I know he is in such good hands while we are away!”
“Olivia was so great with my pups! One is super clingy and needy and demanding for the love all of the time and an older male dog who pretty much hates everyone and everything and wears diapers and has incontinence issues - and she was amazing with them! They both were loved well, fed well, she even got my grumpy gus out for (short) walks, kept the house pee free and him diapered, and I'm thrilled with how happy the dogs were when we got home after being gone for a few days. I also loved how well she stayed in contact with us so we could see our pups throughout the day(s) that were gone. We will definitely be using Olivia again! (Thank you Olivia for taking such great care of our babies!)”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with childhood dogs (Lab and a Scottish Terrier) and love all animals! I'm the go-to dog sitter for both family and neighbors as we have lots of extra room in our house and hearts, along with a fenced in yard. I can't wait to treat your baby like my own! My husband works from home and can let your fur baby outside as needed and keep them company. I love to cater to your dogs needs! Whether that's a game of fetch in the back yard, going for a long walk, meeting new friends at my neighborhood dog park, or hanging out on the couch, I'm just happy to have them around! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly cat at home. He keeps to himself for the most part. I also have two children who love to play with and respect animals as much as I do!
“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”
“Rebecca did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation! She sent great updates and cute pictures to let us know our kitties were happy and well. While we were nervous to leave them, our cats were well taken care of by Rebecca and we didn’t have anything to worry about. 😺”
“Absolutely the best Pet Sitter ever. I did not worry one second about my fur babies. She communicated everyday even though they didn’t always cooperate 🤦♀️. Definitely glad we found her and will be calling her anytime we travel. So awesome to be able to leave my babies with someone I know will take such exceptional care of them. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve grown up with a 16 year old pup! I also have walked dogs for as long as I can remember. I currently work with dogs and cats on top of having 3 of my own! All different sizes too :) I currently have everyday open with a variety of different hours available! I can do one time a day or even 4 if need be! Feel free to reach out with any questions! I live next to a huge fenced in field, along with having extra enrichment items, treats, and different foods for all sizes of dogs and cats!
“Katie is amazing! She was super available and communicative and did an amazing job with Margot! Margot is not a fan of strangers but definitely loved Katie! Katie was very patient and caring and I will definitely be booking her again. 100% recommend her!”
“Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Kaitlin was wonderful. She came over to meet our dog the day before with short notice and was flexible about adding an extra visit when the forecast showed raining conditions. She took good care of our dog and was frequemtly in touch. She gained our dog's trust very quickly and was very friendly. I would definitely recommend her.

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 Ijamsville 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ijamsville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ijamsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
