“We were so happy with the care our cats, Cooper and Poppy, received! She was reliable, sent great updates and photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Misty and Fiona were a dream team. From the first meet and greet we knew we had found the purr-fect sitters for our "girls". Misty provided daily personal notes assuring us everything was going well and photos to make us smile. 😊 Fiona was awesome getting our shy girl to trust her enough to cuddle and snuggle and play. Our older cat warmed up to them quickly and enjoyed all of the attention. As I told Misty, this is the first time I went away and felt comfortable that our two girls were in safe and loving hands. We are already rebooking them for our next trip in November. We'd highly recommend them if you are looking for more than someone to feed and clean up after your pets.”
“Leslie is wonderful! I feel so much better knowing that our newly adopted dog has a break from the crate while we are at work. I love seeing the photos and detailed updates after her visits.”
About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am currently on summer break from graduate school, but I take five- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.
“Samantha was an excellent choice for us as a dog walker. She was kind, punctual and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Maisey under her care. I highly recommend Samantha.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Saffron! It was incredibly comforting to know she was being loved and cared for as if she were your own. We truly appreciate everything you did for her.”
“Valerie was wonderful! The app shows she was timely and she sent updates as well as the cutest pics of them enjoying their time together. We will definitely book with Valerie again.”
About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I have a hybrid work schedule and very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. Typically, I am available throughout the day Wednesday through Sundays. I am out of the house 8 am - 2 pm on Monday and Tuesdays. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.
“Shelby was fantastic. It was a pleasure to meet her briefly ahead of the planned visits. She took time to connect with the pups so she wouldn’t be “stranger danger” to them, asked about likes and quirks, and from the pics, they had a blast with her. Super communicative and we had a great, worry-free time knowing they were in her care. Thanks, Shelby! We’ll be booking again!”
“This is maybe the 4 or 5 time we’ve had Connie come take care of our cats. She’s been great. I love the little check in blurbs she does about each visit and she takes the best pictures! She also went above and beyond when my husband locked himself out and she had the other key. She’s real easy to talk to and open to add or cancel visits. Zero complaints and she’s the first person I used through this app and haven’t changed since.”
“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”
“Sara is such a great sitter! She is caring, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. She always sends pictures and updates. I feel she genuinely cares about my pup! I know Nova is getting great care when Sara visits and Nova absolutely loves her.”
“Maegan was fantastic! She showed up on time, everytime which is far different than sitters we have had previously. She was great with our dogs and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her visits! Strongly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Alex took such wonderful care of our cat, Pusstachio over our 4 day trip! He has clearly fallen in love with her and it has been such a comfort to know she was taking such good care of him during our absence! We especially appreciate the speed of her response to our last minute booking request! She made time to come meet our cat before we left to get to know his routine. Alex was also so kind to bring in our packages and water our veggies during our trip- which was so very appreciated! 10/10 experience for both us and and Stache!”
“Dominique was amazing with my 2 cats during all her visits! She responded quickly to messages and went above and beyond to care for my pets. I definitely recommend Dominique to anyone!”

When I move back to Knoxville, I am starting a job at my university that has flexible hours. I also have a very flexible schedule and am free on weekends and weekdays. I will follow your pet’s routine as strictly as I can!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From the time I was little, pets have always been part of my life—and I know just how special they are to a family. That’s why I treat every pet like my own. I’m calm, careful, loving, and reliable. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also leave your home just the way I found it—clean and respected. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, routines, or quirks, and I’ll always communicate openly so you feel at ease while you're away. I’d be honored to give your pet the love and attention they deserve and give you peace of mind in the process. Let’s chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member—I can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make space in my schedule—especially on weekends and holidays—to be available for walks and drop-ins. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, so I’m available throughout the day. During the school year, my availability shifts more toward evenings and weekends. I plan ahead to ensure each visit gets my full attention, and I’m always happy to adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Being around animals is something I genuinely look forward to—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, or favorite toys. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and always keep pets leashed on walks unless directed otherwise. I stay calm and attentive, especially around other animals or unfamiliar environments, to keep your pet safe. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and happy while giving you peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ijamsville
We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly communicative, always on time, and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our kitties and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!
We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.
Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
Haley took wonderful care of our two kitties, Miami and Virginia, through drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Haley, for taking great care of them. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to work with her again.
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ijamsville on Rover is $19.98 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 8,289 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ijamsville. 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 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.
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 Ijamsville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
