Jessica has been fantastic during drop-in visits for our dog Buddy! It was clear the second she walked in our home that she knows and loves dogs. Buddy was instantly comfortable with her thanks to her warm and welcoming demeanor. Knowing Buddy has someone that we can trust to drop-in while we are at work is very comforting. Highly recommend Jessica!!

About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.

About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, swimming, agility and lots of playing. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both small and large breeds. I currently have two dogs of my own: a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix and a Cane Corso/Boxer mix, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with very different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs and horses, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to read animal behavior from an early age. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, basic training reinforcement, administering lots of love and attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. During the week, I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and nighttime check-ins after work. My weekends are much more flexible, which allows me to provide more availability for pet sitting, extended visits, walks, and additional care as needed. I always do my best to be reliable, communicative, and accommodating to both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before and after walks or outdoor time. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and environment to help prevent accidents, stress, or unsafe situations. I also keep communication open by providing updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away. Because I have experience with both small and large breeds, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

About: I have taken care of pets for nearly 10 years. From Dogs to cat to even birds. I’m the person that will walk your dog in the snow and enjoy it. I am also the person that will play with your cat for an hour straight. Pets are family and that’s how they deserve to be treated. I’m currently a bartender and big time traveler. I’m looking to make extra cash on weekends by doing what I love which is taking care of your little furry ones. I have fenced in yard for my dogs as well as indoor cats. My pets eat twice a day on a cautious diet due to them being elderly. I walk my dogs everyday if I can and play with my cat every single day as he is old but he’s very playful.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a kid. I rescued my first baby, Dory, a little over 5 years ago and my heart has never been more full. Since then I have rescued another dog and 2 cats. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Taking care of animals is second nature and something I’m truly passionate about. My animals are my world and I am excited to share that love with even more animals. I have a fenced in yard that my 2 dogs love to spend time in. They have an overflowing basket of toys that always seems to be scattered across the house and yard. We take them for walks around the neighborhood and every so often we take them for a hike.

Adara was absolutely wonderful with Javi and Tamale! From the start, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care — she was attentive, gentle, and really listened to everything I shared about their needs and routines. The regular updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We will 100% be booking with Adara again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pets like her own!

About: I have a dog of my own, and I’m away for college so I don’t see him much. I would love to connect with other dogs so I can feel more at home! I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to walk or visit your dog! I am available Monday-Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 1pm, and selective weekends. I have an electric fence at home which my dog has adapted to. I also make sure to walk him and play with him in order to keep him active, since he is an older dog.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and responsible dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure both you and your dog feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I build my schedule around being consistent and dependable. I’m available in the mornings for feeding, walks, and check-ins before starting my day, and I’m home in the afternoons, which gives me time to spend with dogs for exercise, play, and attention. I do work part-time in the evenings about five days a week, but I plan around that so dogs are never left without care for long. Before work, I make sure they’ve had a walk, time outside, and attention, and when I get home, I stick to an evening routine with another walk, feeding if needed, and time to wind down. On my days off and weekends, I have much more flexibility, so I’m able to give extra time, longer walks, and more one-on-one attention. Overall, I’m very structured with my time, so even with a busy schedule, pet care is something I prioritize and stay consistent with. Your dog won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be cared for like they’re my own. I keep a consistent, structured routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Throughout the day, I make sure they’re never bored or ignored—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out so they have company. I pay close attention to their mood and energy, so high-energy dogs stay active and tired, while calmer dogs get a more relaxed, easygoing day. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions, because I know the little details matter. Bottom line: your dog gets consistency, attention, and someone who actually cares—not just someone stopping by.

About: Available for both walks and drop-in visits; early morning or after 3-4. I have a very sweet dog of my own (his name is Cooper and he gets along very well with other dogs, if your dog ever likes playing/walking with other dogs). He is full of energy, so I am used to long walks and lots of play time. I am also willing to run with your dog if you want / if they enjoy that! I have experience with puppies, special needs dogs, and older dogs. Feel free to leave special instructions so that your pup gets the best care possible. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask me! I’m happy to help however I can.

About: I am a father of four, ages 4- 10 and work in healthcare. I’ve always cared for animals. We currently have a dog, cat, two guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. I maintained a fresh water fish tank for over a decade and loved it. I enjoy spending time with animals a great deal, it brings me peace. I’m a full time dad and work part time at a hospital so I’m home a lot. My kids and I have a nightly routine for cleaning and feed our guinea pigs and bearded dragon. My dog is very sweet and her and the cat are best friends. Because I have four kids, there is no shortage of attention for our pets. I have reliable transportation and a pretty open schedule. 3 of my kids are in school during the day and my youngest is in preschool. I take my dog for a walk every day on our quiet street. I have a fenced in back yard and our property is heavily shaded.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Kirtland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Kirtland on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,844 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Kirtland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kirtland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Kirtland 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 Kirtland 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 Kirtland. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
