“We had to make a last minute change for cat sitting - we chose Trevor! And, glad we did. He was able to come over straight away and get the run down on our 2 cats. He asked all the right questions, and better yet, he showed up every day and provided thorough updates. His kindness was a perk! Pick Trevor😻🐕‍🦺”

“Kim is very friendly, courteous and polite. My dogs immediately took a liking to Kim and showed her how comfortable they were with her while holding them in her arms. As soon as my dogs were placed on Kim's lap, they stopped barking (usually a constant barkers) and became calm. Kim's secure, loving affection she conveys has a valuable impact to my dogs' temperaments.”

About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.

About: Grew up with multiple dogs of all sizes. Current proud father of two cats. Love walking and running so why not add a friend. As a firefighter I am looking to to help in any way I can on my days off! Full time fireman so I work an odd schedule. 24 hour shifts with 24 hours off in between. Built in with four days off in a row, so off days I am free all day! With lots of free time on my off days, I can easily travel to watch and check up on all pets. I stay pretty active so love adding walks and play with pets!

Brynn is exceptional! She took such wonderful care of our cat throughout our entire trip. She made sure everything was taken care of on time, giving us peace of mind and allowing us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our fur baby. She is reliable, trustworthy, caring, and truly exceptional at what she does. Thank you so much, Brynn! We will definitely book you every time we’re out of town. Highly recommended! ❤️

Maryam and Faadhil are THE BEST! You know you have a good sitter when your pets are disappointed when you come home. I never have to worry about my kitties because I know Maryam and Faadhil will take such good care of them, plus they send pictures! They've even checked my wifi router for me when the kitties unplugged it. 5 stars aren't enough!

Emma did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away! My cat always looked happy to see her in the awesome pictures I received each day, and they seemed to get along very well. It was also very easy to communicate with Emma during my trip when I had a few things come up unexpectedly. It was so great to know that my house and my pet were in good hands. I would absolutely book again!

Bell is a 5-star Rover worker. My niece needed immediate admittance to the hospital last week. Care for her cat needed to be arranged within 24 hours. Bell stepped up and accepted the assignment immediately, working my niece’s cat into her schedule as best she could on the first day and at the same time of day for the remainder of the week. She demonstrated genuine care for Taz. She photographed the two of them together to demonstrate her time with the cat and her connection with him.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Joyland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Joyland is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 November 2026, there are 5,264 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Joyland. 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 Joyland. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
