“arb recently did pop in house visits for our cat, Louie, for 11 days, and she was absolutely incredible! She sent us tons of pictures, videos, and detailed updates every day, so we always knew how things were going. I never once worried about someone being in our home, and I always felt completely confident that Louie was getting the very best care, probably even better than if we had been home with him! 😂 She even left the sweetest notes and some hilarious pictures of Louie for us, which honestly made our day when we got home. 🥹❤️ We 100,000% recommend Barb and will absolutely be using her services again! If you are looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home, Barb is the one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Kat is just fabulous! My dogs loved her and so did I. She was reliable, on-time, warm and loving with my pets, and always kept me up to date on their activities. She sent me the BEST pictures every day of my furry family. I felt like they were loved and happy while I was gone. I would re-book her in a heartbeat!”

“Evelyn went above and beyond when she watched my cats. From having to deal with my senior cat and her issues to taking care of a cat that she never saw, she even tried to engage her to come out of hiding. She always made sure they had what they needed. I couldn't have asked for better experience. For sure will have her back when I travel.”

“Absolute professionalism and top-notch care for our pets from Eric and Morgan! This lovely couple boarded our dog Rosie and made home visits to care for our cat and guinea pigs during our spring break vacation. They were very responsive to our messages and took care to learn all the instructions for feeding and care of our animals. We received photos and updates throughout the week. Morgan even watered my plant babies! We highly recommend Eric and Morgan and will definitely book them again.”

About: Honestly I love taking care of animals. I have a few of my own. Salem (cat) and Oscar (pup) Salem is very laid back and so friendly it’s insane. And Oscar being a puppy loves being around anyone and any pet. I currently work full time M-F but please know I will always make time for your fur babies. I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and I’m always available on weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard unfortunately but I do have a big grass area behind my house. We have a dog park we can go to nearby if permitted by owner

About: I have loved and cared for pets all of my life! Throughout high school, I volunteered several hours at a local animal shelter until I was old enough to work for them. After several years and life changes, I am currently a dog bather at a local salon. In addition to sitting, check-ins, and walks, I offer basic grooming services (nail trim/grinds, ear cleaning, and brushing. Bath/Dry services TBA) I work part time Wednesday through Sunday midday. I will be available for services those same days. I am NOT available Sunday evenings through Tuesday evenings. I cannot accommodate pets in my home as I have pets of my own. I am flexible and able to accommodate most needs in a client’s home.

She came on a regular schedule every day, took care of all her needs and spent time playing with her. I received pictures and a Rover report after every visit. She even bought her new toys! Bernice and I were extremely happy with Jayne and would highly recommend her.”

About: I love to spoil your dog whenever they’re with me with love plus we love to go to dog parks! I will treat your fur babies as they’re apart of my household. Currently since I’m in an apartment I don’t have access to a place for your dogs to roam, so I will come to you! I work Monday- Friday 8:00-2:30, so mostly I am free in the evenings or on the weekends! If I was babysitting your dog during the week I’d make time for them. I will follow whatever schedule you have for your fur baby and they will get to hangout with me the whole time and get attention.

About: i’ve been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors fur babies for the past nine years of my life, and I absolutely love every single one of them. I love all of them all sizes and breeds it does not matter to me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for five years. I also have previous training experience working with young puppies so i’m able to work with them as well. :) I’m working currently part-time and only have classes a couple days a week for an hour. I’m very flexible and available on an as needed basis for you and your fur babies! Safety is my number one priority. I will never put your fur babies in harms way or put them in uncomfortable situations. I treat each pup as if they were my own. I’m very big on schedules/routine. If you have one you’d like to stick to, I will happily oblige.

Brittany was very nice and took care of our cat very well. He doesn’t always like strangers, but he warmed up to her pretty quickly. It was nice to have the regular updates. Thanks, Brittany!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Imperial on Rover is $11 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,420 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Imperial. 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 Imperial. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
