“Taylor provided daily care for my 2 cats while we were on vacation. The care was outstanding with feeding cleaning and cat interaction sending daily updates . I would use Taylor again and would highly recommend her . Thank you Taylor”
“Faith is a rockstar. Not only does she truly love animals, but she’s quite the animal whisperer. It’s clear from the numerous photos that she provides that my cat loves her just as much as she loves him. Faith is excellent with communication and on several occasions she has responded to my cat-sitting requests on super short notice. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Melissa did a great job with my two cats! They can be shy with new people, but they warmed up to her on the meet and greet. She spent an hour with them each night and sent great photos of playtime. I hope to hire Melissa for future visits!”
“I was so happy to find Jessica on Rover. I liked the daily updates with pictures and our cats appreciated some playtime on her visits. I will definitely be booking Jessica in the future.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I a newborn and have been caring for them since I was around 5 years old! Around the time I turned 15, I began dog watching for neighbors and family friends so I have about 6 years of paid experience. I have an abundance of expertise with big dogs as all 7 dogs I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with have been over 60 lbs with the biggest pup weighing about 110 lbs. I also have several years of experience with senior pups including my oldest pup Walter 😊 He has arthritis and has had several tumors so I am familiar with administering oral and topical medications if needed as well as post-surgery care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding my experience that I can clarify for you! I am a community college student with reliable transportation (if planned) and am available several hours through out the week. I am open to short-notice walks, check ins, and dog-sitting inquiries but please understand I may not always be available to fulfill your request due to me sharing a car with my parent. If you book with me 24 hours prior and I am available there should be no transportation issues. My availability is as follows: Mondays: please reach out for more info Tuesdays & Wednesdays: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursdays: 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Any time While I do not offer boarding services because of my senior, I do offer dog-sitting, walks, and check-in services. I promise to love your pup like they are my own! With my own dogs I tend to sit on the floor next to them more than on furniture because I like that they think I am at their level when I do that! I will talk to your pup/pups like they can understand me and are responding which might be weird for some but if you get it you get it 🤗 Also unless otherwise stated by dog mom/dad I always bring a couple treats for puppy to try! As with anything else you have questions about please do not hesitate to reach out!

I have years of experience watching my in- laws dog and would love to help watch yours! I’m a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule while my kids are at school and over the weekends! My husband occasionally works from home and can takeover kid duty so I can focus on your pets! My home is safe for all pets and I can comfortably go into anyone’s house and care for their pet and provide pictures and updates as needed!
“Becca was an excellent sitter — reliable, communicative, and great with our pup. I appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.
“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”
About: Being around animals makes me happy! My volunteer trainings and the past experiences of being around animals and genuine patience and empathy can give the best care to your fur babies that come my way. I have volunteered with local animal rescues since 2007, and am currently on the board of a small NY based rescue. I am a cat lady at heart but adore all animals! As a flight attendant and have been flying professionally since 1997, I know the anxious feeling of being away from my fur babies and missing them so so well (longest period was a month) where the only thing that gave me solace were the numerous pictures and descriptive texts from my sitter. I would like to provide that comfort for you when you are away from them. Please contact me whenever you need someone punctual and reliable, and enjoy giving updates to the pawrents to ease their heart! Pet care is my daily life. I do not have a problem at all making the life about the fur babies because it is. It's true that I work to give them a better life! Just by being loving and trying to give them what they need at the time they ask for it! Also for the owners I will give as many pictures and update texts as they want (because for me, it was more the better when I was on the road). Being safe and having trust is the very base of what I represent and that is nonnegotiable.
About: My love and experience with animals starts at home with my own two pets, who I care for as part of my family. I’m very hands-on with their health and happiness, from preparing homemade dog food and treats to making sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and love. Over the past three years, I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering approximately 33 dogs with Border Tails Rescue, Tiny aln Tall Rescue, Chicago Rescue Authority and Anderson Humane. Fostering has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, routines, and needs. I understand that some dogs need extra patience and time to feel safe and comfortable, especially when adjusting to a new environment. Whether I’m boarding your pet, taking them for a walk, or pet sitting, my goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I give my own pets. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I am currently a Special Ed Paraprofessional at a local high school therefore I'm available late afternoons, evenings and open weekends. I’m comfortable giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care while making sure they feel safe and happy. My schedule does vary, and on certain weekdays, weekends, school breaks, and days off, I may be available all day. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you can easily see my current availability. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care! Over the past three years, I’ve fostered more than 30 dogs through organizations including Tiny N Tall Rescue, Anderson Humane, Border Tails Rescue, and Chicago Rescue Authority. This experience has allowed me to care for dogs with many different personalities, backgrounds, and needs, teaching me patience, consistency, and how to help dogs feel safe in a new environment. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I also have a private, fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine and strive to make their stay feel like a comfortable home away from home.
About: I have long helped family and friends with watching and checking in on their own dogs and have had a passion for interacting and helping animals since I was young! I am happy to help however I can with making sure they are comfortable and content. I currently work full time in the evenings, so I have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to play with your pets! Since I already have a routine established with taking care of my own pet, spending time and getting to know your pet’s routine will help build trust and comfort in the process. I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.
“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a household with multiple animals, so I’ve always had a deep love and respect for them. I now have my own little fur baby and truly understand the responsibility and care our pets deserve as part of the family. With me, your pet will be in loving and attentive care, always treated with patience, affection, and respect. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and keeping pets company are activities I genuinely look forward to. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. I make sure they are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy level, eating habits, and overall comfort so I can recognize when something seems different.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life! I put my dog down a few years ago and now I’m feeling the itch to want to adopt another one. In the meantime I figured this is a great opportunity to still be around animals and be able to care for them as if they were my own before I look into adopting a new fur baby! I’m currently home a lot and work a few nights a week at a comedy club so I have plenty of time to play and spend quality time with your pet. I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a huge back yard so there’s plenty of space for them to run around on a leash! I also love going on walks so they’ll get plenty of exercise.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just moved to Boston with my dog Sanibel. She loves friends so I’d be looking to help anyone who’s ok with their dog walking with and hanging out with mine while I’m taking care of them. I provide plenty of daily exercise and can manage most needs. Can’t wait to meet your pup and add them to our daily adventures! 🐶✨ I work from home so am available all day and night. My schedule is very flexible and allows me plenty of time to take care of animals. Dogs are allowed on the couch in my home and in any room of the house. They are treated like family. I have 1 crate here if needed.

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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Inverness is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 12,281 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 .
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.
