“Megan S. was fabulous! She kept me informed, sent pictures and my Billie just loved her. I will definitely specifically request her again the next time I need a sitter. I highly recommend her.”
“Claire was great - will definitely use again! Smoky can be slow to warm up but went straight to her. She also took great care of my house and spent the whole 30 minutes there. Thanks!!”
“Morgan took excellent care of our geriatric cat that needed pills twice a day. She followed our instructions, knew to use a towel to help calm her for pilling when needed, and was able to coax her out of her hiding places. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs all my life and I will make it my mission to be your pets favorite human. I most certainly will talk in a baby voice to them :) As a UofK student, my availability includes Mondays and Wednesdays (before 1 PM and after 5 PM), Fridays (before 1 PM), Saturdays (before 5 PM), and all day Sundays. I'm happy to work with your schedule! I currently have 2 cats at home! There’s a mostly fenced in backyard and a wonderful neighborhood with a park so your pet can enjoy walks!
“Brooke is amazing!! We were gone all day yesterday for The KY Derby and she took amazing care of my two older dogs. She is very thorough, caring and prompt. Will definitely be using her again in the near future. Thank you Brooke!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Caitlin made it a great experience. Caitlin was very punctual and answered any questions we had quickly. Zoe loved having Caitlin coming to check on her every day and we enjoyed getting pictures of Zoe. Hopefully when we need another sitter Caitlin will be available. Thanks again for looking after our furbaby.”
About: I have over 19 years of experience. I can help with Pet Walking and Pet Sitting. Over the years I have cared for (and loved .. and certainly have been loved by!) many dogs and cats (and other pets).. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets. Thank you .. I am excited to care for your pet (s) next! I love and treat your pets as though they are my own. I always like to spend as much time as possible your pets, whether the pets parents are working during the day, or the family is on vacation. Whether you prefer your dog (s) walked and/or playing in the yard-- or just a potty break and quality indoors playtime/hangout time... I'm excited to help; I am also available for overnight visits, if that's something you're interested in for your pets. I enjoy it, and it really bonds me with them (obviously the more time spent with them, the more comfortable the pets are with you). I love cats, too! Fish, you name it. I am new to the area, and looking to continue doing what I've done for 20 + years: My time is very flexible (*especially now just getting started) and prices are flexible. I like to spend as much time as possible with the pets! I am certainly willing to spend a lot of time with them. Excited to become fast friends with your pets! I do not live alone-- so I have always cared for pets in the client's home (or other friends and family) ... I will do whatever the client wants, and stick as close to the routine as possible; Dog walks, and/or playing with dogs inside the house (and in yards), and caring for cats inside the home are perfect. I am more than happy to adapt and do what pet parents ask, and love them as much as possible until they are back in your care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old. I’m comfortable with all breeds, including Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds. I was raised alongside a Pitbull Terrier mix, and later went on to adopt a full blooded Pitbull. Our family had a Boxer mix for 13 years until recently, and she was in very good shape up until the end. I would love to care for your pets as I have cared for mine! When I still had my dogs, I would feed them three times a day and give them medicine up to five times a day. If they had a little too much energy, I would play with them until they were tired out. I would let them outside as often as they needed, even if they just wanted to lay out there (when the weather is nice, of course). I cared for my dogs by paying attention to their body language and vocalizations. Often times, what they needed is something simple, like to go outside or when they were ready to eat, but on rare occasions they’d act a little unusual and that was when I’d take them into the vet’s office. I always made sure my dogs were in the best health possible.
“Mary did an incredible job watching our dogs through the holidays. We had multiple flight cancellations and Mary was so flexible and reliable, extending care until we made it home safely. She sent regular pictures which helped ease some of the anxiety I had missing the pups, and we came home to a clean home, happy and healthy dogs, and she even brought in the mail for us! We are so grateful we found her.”
“Rachel took great care of our cat! She was flexible with his needs, followed all care instructions perfectly, and provided lots of play time and pets at every drop-in. Communication with her was easy and prompt. She also was very respectful of our home and kept it tidy. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have taken care of a large poodle for a few weeks multiple times a year. I had to feed once a day and let outside. In addition, I have taken care of 3 dogs feeding them once a day. I have taken care of a cat and dog, cleaning the litter boxes and letting the dog out. Lastly, I have house sat/dog sat for an older dog that got fed twice a day. I have experience in house sitting for long periods while animals are present. On the other hand, I have a lot of experience farm and house sitting. This can sometimes include taking care of horses in addition to farm dogs and cats or just house sitting with an animal present. Since I am a college student, I have days that are busier than others, but I am always open to different schedules. My times won’t be the exact time everyday, but I can make it out to the animal everyday. I currently am a senior at Asbury University studying equine studies. I have always had a passion for animals and I would love to get more time helping others with their pets. I think animals are a beautiful creation and they deserve our love and care.
About: Hi, my name is John and I have loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was 15. I've had several rescue dogs since 2011, including a tri-paw Belgian Melanois, who passed away in 2019. I currently live with Max, a beagle rescue. I mostly work from home so will be with your dog all day. I'll take your dog and my dog Max on a minimum of four walks during the day in downtown Lexington. I'll provide attention and care for your dog. There are are plenty of green space during our walks. Safety, wellness, and happiness for any dog under my care is priority. I would like to schedule a meet and greet to gather as much information as possible about your dog and to see how your dog does with Max.
“I am so happy with the care my cat Skittles received from Anna! She looked relaxed and comfortable in all the photos, and Anna left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her again! Thank you so much, Anna! 💛”
About: I’ve been caring for pets from a very young age! I currently have 2 of my own. I adore animals and would love the chance to take care of yours! I go to school and work 3 days a week! However I will always be available fridays, Saturday, Sundays after 4:30, and most other days after 4:30! I can also do morning check ins before 9 typically! I will always introduce myself very calmly and extend my hand to say hello in a non threatening way! I always want your pets to be comfortable with me. I will also do anything extra the animal needs to make it feel safe and loved.
“Exceptional communicator, took the very best care of our catties. Cassidy went above and beyond with mail and unloading an unexpected refrigerated delivery 5 star all the way.”
“Gabriella is awesome! She came to our home to check on our dogs and took them for a nice walk while we were away for work today. I highly recommend Gabriella! We can’t wait to have her come again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 806 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Keene. 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 Keene. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
