“Ruby did a great job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She is professional and kind, and treated him with the utmost sweetness and care. This was my first time going on a trip since having a cat and I was very nervous about how he would fare while we were gone. Thanks to Ruby, I had peace of mind after each check-in in which she sent lots of pictures and gave me a detailed description of how he was doing. She did everything just the way I asked her to, and went above and beyond as well. This was the best possible cat sitting experience I could have hoped for!”

“Christina was GREAT! She stepped in last minute to take care of dogs while we were out of town!This was our first time using rover and she made the process so easy. She updated several pictures every visit and always let us know how they were doing. She also cleaned up their mess from toys without us even asking for that! We will definitely book with her again for our future trips!”

About: I have a special gift for noticing the emotions and personalities in pets that people often overlook. Whether your dog is playful, shy, independent, or simply needs a little extra love, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’ve been around dogs since the age of 7. My specialty is dogs, but I happily welcome my feline friends too! :) When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched. I want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and joyful during every visit—so much so that they remember me when I return! My goal is to make sure your pet has a great day, because they give us so much in return: security, joy, companionship, and unconditional love. I want them to feel that same care and connection while they’re with me. 🐾 I don’t have a full time or part time job, I don’t own any pets of my own, no kids. My only exceptions would be my personal daily task that come with general life. I do not board more than one dog at a time just to keep things safe. I also live in an apartment complex with two other roommates who are my best friends. With this set up, I can ensure both your fur baby and my roommates are comfortable.

About: I have always loved animals- any and all types. I have owned dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’m an honest and loyal person. I will provide the greatest care for your furbabies and make sure they are loved as my own. I volunteered with local humane societies and I also worked as an animal cruelty investigator for years. Animals live shorter lives than us humans so we have to make sure everyday is great. I have fostered numerous dogs and puppies that I found in abusive situations so providing a little extra care is no biggie to me. I would be happy to drop in and check on your animals, take them for walks or board them at my house. Your animal would be in great hands with me. Thanks for reading my profile. Hope to hear from you soon. My schedule is super flexible so just let me know what your needs are and I can help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and one sweet pup that stays inside that can keep your animal company. I can’t wait for them to meet!

About: Hi! My name is Amy! I have had animals my whole life! From cats, to dogs, to hamsters, I love anything with fur! I have worked for volunteers shelters since I was young and have dealt with some more aggressive pets (cats in particular). I look forward to keeping your pet comfortable and happy! My schedule can be flexible with proper notice! Check ins once or twice a day work best but I am open to other types of care! I always make sure my pets are cared for with love and attention, as I will do for your pets! Reliability is a huge component of feeding. Your pet should never wonder when its next meal will come!

Usually house sitters don’t even see him. I will definitely be using them again the next time we go out of town! Thank you guys!”

About: Trusting your dog with anyone is a big deal, and I want you to feel at ease the entirety of the stay. Just know that you can count on me. I will not only make sure they are safe but also give them lots of love. Experience: I’ve always been a big animal lover! When I was around 13, I began pet sitting for friends and people around the neighborhood. Now, I have about 6 years experience pet sitting different clients. Taking care of and just being around dogs gives me so much joy, and I think this is the greatest job in the world!😊🐾 The sitting process: If wanted, I am available for meet and greets to make sure I am the perfect fit for you and your family! During the pet sitting process, I will give you updates on how your dog is doing, and send you pictures of your baby while you are away. I can take them on walks, play, feed, give them medication, and more. Just ask if there’s anything special you need done. I will request a lot of information about what your needs and wants before hand just to make sure we are on the same page. If I am staying at your home, one of my goals is to make your lives easier! So if there are little things that need to be done I can do it if asked. I am very responsible. I am an accounting major, so I am very detail oriented, precise, and responsible in anything that I do 😉 About me: I am 21 years old and currently enrolled at the University of Utah. But, I live in California now with my parents finishing my last year of school online! I am going to be a lease accountant when I graduate. Because I can do everything from my computer, I have a ton of time for your pet. I also, have 3 pets (2 dogs 1 cat) but they are technically my parents, so I can make your pets my priority! I am currently finishing up my senior year of college doing online classes, and when I graduate I already have a work from home job lined up. So, I have a lot of spare time to care for your pet! I am available even on short notice a lot of the time. I do all my school on my computer so I can keep your dog company without leaving them alone. Trust is the most important thing for me when dog sitting. I want you and your dog to both be able to trust and rely on me. It is so important to find someone trustworthy when it comes to our pets because they are the most important things in the world for us. Feel free to call or FaceTime me anytime to see how your baby is doing. I will always answer. I will send updates and photos. I will also let you know whenever I go somewhere. And like I said, I am available to do a meet and greet before hand.

About: I have raised multiple dogs and cats into their senior years. I worked on a farm caring for multiple types of animals for two years. I'm currently a senior at UAB so I am available on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Working with pets while studying what I love is both a blessing and a joy. At my home, we have an invisible fence to keep our dog safe. Currently, we also have used a crate and sleeping place for training

About: Whether you have a rambunctious puppy whos curiosity gets the better of them, an adolescent who wishes to have the tennis ball thrown 100 times, an adult who just wants a couch companion, or a senior dog who needs help getting down the stairs for their daily walk, I'm your gal! I have experience administering medication, have given insulin shots, as well as have owned and managed deaf, blind and pregnant dogs. I have also helped welp a litter of GSDs. Although I have a HUGE soft spot for Bully breeds (PLEASE share your pitties, staffies, bulldogs, dobbies and rotties with me!) I have worked with and house sat for dogs of all size, age and breeds. All dogs deserve love, respect and companionship❤️ My entire life revolves around animals as thats my entire career. I work on a horse ranch and take care of a herd of 26 horses. I have worked in domestic pet and livestock feed and nutrition and have helped owners find the best dietary fit for their animals needs whether special needs or just wanting to fit their lifestyle. Pet welfare is my entire goal in life- with me your pet is more than just another name on a screen. They are a unique individual I cannot wait to meet and learn about inside and out- from their happy wagging tail to their wet, curious sniffer. My animals are my number 1! My own dog goes to daycare atleast 2x a week to get social time on days I know I may be gone long and my cats are provided a clean, fresh environment that they can get the zoomies and run around together. They always come before I do. Water bows are cleaned daily, each animal gets one on one time with me daily and they all get enrichment toys and treats. Just as I treat my own animals, I will treat yours because I understand just how important they are to you and want to give full peace of mind that your animals are left in good, reliable and trustworthy hands no matter the circumstances.

I am so impressed with Adelle. She is a wonderful sitter that is always prompt and friendly. She obviously adores animals and she adapts to changes quickly if they need to be made. She is a great communicator too. She did a GREAT job taking care of my cat Cooper.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lake Purdy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Purdy is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 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 945 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Purdy. 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 Lake Purdy. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
