“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

“Gabrielle was a wonderful sitter for the week that I had her drop in on my 2 cats. My cats are 16 and 13 and are definitely in house cats. One is friendly and the other is skittish and shy. One needed meds. She visited them and gave daily feedback and sent pictures. She also administered the meds, fed them and cleaned the litter. She even watered my large plant. She exceeded my expectations. I will use her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“Sabrina came on same day notice and was very clear and quick in her communication. We actually never met her because we had to be gone all day unexpectedly and had to trust her to come in our home alone and handle our 10 week old puppy. She did a wonderful job and sent updates as well as offered to help with additional work as part of her care. I would recommend her”

I have 2 years of experience caring for cats through a different company, where I gained hands on experience taking care of pets in their homes and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: As a firefighter, my entire career is built on safety, reliability, and handling high-stress situations with a calm, focused mind. I bring that exact same dedication to pet care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet requires strict medication schedules, you can rest easy knowing they are in highly capable hands. I have experience with our furry friends ranging from puppies with enough energy to power our houses to our senior dogs that need very specific special care instructions throughout the day. Whatever is needed to be provided throughout the day to your family, it will be delivered as if they were my own. Due to my firefighter shift schedule I typically have entire, unbroken days where I am 100% available to dedicate my time and energy to your furry family members. When not on shift there is nothing more I look forward to then spending time with animals. My profession requires a clean background, absolute integrity, and a high level of public trust. You can feel completely secure letting me into your home to care for your furry family members. I treat every member as if they were my own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and routine care no matter how meticulous. Being a professionally trained emergency responder any unexpected situation that arises you can have confidence will be handled in a calm and efficient manner.

About: Hey, I’m Madison, a reliable and affectionate dog lover based in Barrington! 🐾 I’ve raised two Golden Retrievers and a French Bulldog, and I also have experience caring for abused and rescue animals. That background has given me patience, compassion, and the ability to handle pets with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I enjoy exploring and would love to give your pet the care & companionship they deserve while providing you with peace of mind. Your pet will always be treated like family in my care. ❤️ As a full-time Master’s student at DePaul, I take night classes Monday through Wednesday from 5:45–9:00 pm. That means I’m free during the day—prime hours for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. Thursdays through Sundays, I have even more flexibility, so I can easily work around you and your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. While I don’t provide leashes, I always carry poop bags and will follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent. If it’s time for a walk, we’ll go, whether that means a quick potty break, a long scenic route, or a trip to the dog park to burn off extra energy. I’m careful to make sure any dogs we encounter are friendly before entering off-leash settings, and if your pet has special needs, I’ll happily adjust our routes or keep to quieter areas. My goal is to make every outing safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for your pet while giving you peace of mind.

About: The phrase man’s (or woman’s) best friend is extremely fitting for me! I connect so well with animals, and have always been a reliable source for family, friends, neighbors, and more! I have dog walked, pet sit for cats and dogs, and taken care of pets (including my own dog) since I was 10 years old. Animals are a huge part of my life and I want to surround myself with them more! I currently am a sports photographer so I only go in at most once per week to capture photos and videos, and then I edit at home. Sometimes it gets lonely, so I would absolutely love to take care of a pet whenever I can! I have a perfect dog park in my neighborhood, a nice walking path where sometimes there are other furry friends out for walks so we can meet them if they are interested, and a cozy home that welcomes any pet!

About: Hi, I’m Carla! My love for dogs has been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been something close to my heart. In January 2012, I adopted my beloved Candy. She was my faithful companion for over 14 years, and I said goodbye to her in April 2026. Candy taught me so much about patience, understanding, and the special bond we share with our dogs. She also taught me firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your furry family. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with English Bulldogs, a Chihuahua, a Black Labrador, and Candy. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of different breeds, personalities, and behaviors, including leash reactivity, pulling, lunging, and barking. Since March 2024, I’ve dedicated over 1,000 volunteer hours to shelter dogs, walking dogs of all sizes and personalities and providing enrichment. I also work with shy, fearful, and reactive dogs, helping them build confidence and feel more comfortable. Since Candy’s passing, I’ve also started occasionally fostering dogs who need a little extra love and care. Whether your dog is outgoing and energetic or shy and sensitive, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Their well-being and safety will always be my priority. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I would love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around your pet’s needs. Typically, dogs would not be left alone for more than 4–5 hours. Monday through Thursday, I have commitments from approximately 2–6 PM, which I take into consideration when scheduling pet care. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Care in My Home: I don’t have a fenced yard, so outdoor time consists of leashed walks or a long line for your pet to run. I provide a minimum of five walks per day to ensure your dog gets plenty of opportunities to go outside. I also have two stepchildren, ages 11 and 14, so dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around children. They may not be here when you pet is depending on the time. In-Home Pet Sitting: When caring for your pets in your home, I maintain their usual routines and provide attentive care in their familiar surroundings. My maximum stay for overnight pet sitting is 3–4 nights. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority! For care in my home: I do not have a yard. I provide a minimum of 5 walks a day. I also have two step children that are 11 and 14, so any pets should be fine with kids when they are in my home. For in home pet sitting I have a max stay of 3-4 nights.

Heather has many 5 star reviews and I am leaving another one. She is friendly, personable and conscientious and that’s with people. My dogs consider her their new BFF! Calming with my reactive dog and doting on my needy over thinking dog - I came home to some very happy poochies. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy with excellent communication skills (text updates and cute pics) Heather is a definite go to pet sitter. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Inverness

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Inverness is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $29 per visit. On Rover, 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 11,797 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Inverness. 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.

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 Inverness 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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 Inverness with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Inverness. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
