Wow, where to start?! Shelly came to our rescue when our normal sitter wasn't available. With incredibly short notice & my jam packed schedule, she arranged an unhurried meet & greet - where my fur babies took to her like stick to glue! She really cares about the family she assists - human & fur alike. She went above & beyond in her care & we felt totally comfortable with her in charge. She also uses common sense & actively solves issues, not waiting for long communication delays to address things she's capable of handling. We couldn't be more pleased and HIGHLY recommend Shelly for loving & safe care of your fur family. Oh, and be prepared for a TON of pictures, she's super good at sending them with her updates! Thank you Shelly, you are amazing!

BEST DOG SITTERS EVER. They spent so much time with ours dogs and we had a worry-free vacation knowing they were in such good hands. They also did great with our highly anxious cavalier and our very big Bernese mountain dog. Highly recommend and will be using them for all future dog sitting!!!

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so being around them feels second nature to me. I’ve had experience with a wide range of breeds from high energy working dogs like German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois to small companion dogs like Pomeranians, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m very attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them company and making them feel safe while you’re away. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve cared for them multiple times and have always connected well with them. I understand that every pet has their own temperament, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m currently working toward my Pilates certification, (which doesn’t take up much of my time as I only do it for a few hours a week) so I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to caring for pets. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and wanted to spend more of my time doing something I love while staying active and productive. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific needs so your pet stays in their normal routine :) I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and energy level, and adjust care to fit them, whether that means more activity or a calm environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of attention, supervision, and regular exercise. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Kati was awesome! It was our first time booking with Rover and she put our mind at ease right away with our first meet and greet. I would definifley book her again. Our dog absolutely loved her! She took great care of him. She was great at communicating and was very responsive. She did everything we asked and gave our dog lots of love while we were gone. So happy to find such a great pet sitter! :)

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, having the unique experience raising and training dogs through my father, an experienced police dog trainer and handler. I have a lot of patience and take great care in handling dogs of all breeds. I have skills and experience in crate training, potty training, leash training, getting pets used to kids and other animals, and breaking food and toy aggression. I am available for drop-in visits and walks for all animals. I am able to board up to 3 dogs at a time. I am able to pick up and drop off for an additional fee of $30 each. Pick up and drop off times are flexible. For boards longer than 3 days, I require a “doggy day care” trial with a minimum of 4 hours to ensure your beloved pet and I are good fits for each other. Proof of vaccines required. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have the flexibility to accommodate your pets needs throughout the day. Having three children, we are big fans of routines. I ensure integration of your animals into our daily routine. We live on an acre with a fenced in backyard. Because of the foliage, I do require your dog to be on a tick preventative for their safety. We will keep your fur baby company, loved on and entertained! We spend a lot of time at home, so your pup will never get lonely under our care. I also take time to read your dogs cues and body language and teach my children how to read these and the importance of respecting animals and their boundaries. We treat all animals with love and respect.

She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️

About: I have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and the types of dogs have ranged from a few weeks old to 15 years old. I grew up with dogs and I even help volunteer at an animal shelter when I have the chance. I’ve animal sat for: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turtles, and more. I also work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I take care of pups all ages and breeds. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of any animal I only work 4 hours on most days which gives me a lot of time to play and socialize with the animals. On Monday and Wednesday I work 7 hours, from 9-12 and 2-6 in between those time I will be with your fur baby’s aswell. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have school at 8-11am. Tuesdays I work 2-6. Fridays I work 8-12pm. So your animals will only be home alone short amounts of time. I plan to let out the animals every 4 hours or earlier on Monday and Wednesday’s. Then on any other day I will be with them every second I can be and I will be letting them out very frequently or as often as asked.

We’ve used Mikayla before and were happy to book her again for drop-in visits — and she did a wonderful job, once again. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with our dogs. Mikayla is easy to work with and consistently follows instructions, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We truly appreciate her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including starting dog sitting when I was 13 years old. I also have two dogs of my own, and I spend time taking care of them to the best of their needs! For additional fee, I’d love to draw a photo of your pet! I am currently working part-time and a full time student, and I would love to add your pet to my routine! I love taking walks outside and playing with all animals, so I would love to find the perfect enrichment for your pet! I have a safe, walkable neighborhood to take your fur baby on walks that will be enjoyable for your dog! I also have dog beds and toys for downtime.

Carissa took great care of our two pit bull mixes with drop-in visits at our home. One of our dogs is quite skittish with new people and she won him over quickly. We especially loved getting photos at every visit. We will rebook her again.

Mia was great! She sent pictures every day, and helped us and our 2 cats and parakeet feel more comfortable during our time away over the holidays. She even re-potted a plant that one of the cats got into. Excellent! Would highly recommend her!

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember! I’ve fostered and owned many sweet animals over the years :) From my early years helping my mom at the wildlife infirmary to fostering through adopt-a-pet in Fenton, I have a lot of experience working with dogs, cats, bunnies, and just about any other animal you can think of! Many references available upon request :) I do not currently have any conflicts when it comes to my daily/weekly routines! I am (for the most part) always available :) Message me with any questions! I will ensure that your dog/cat is safely taken care of in your home! We will come up with a plan that works for the both of us.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Linden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Linden on Rover is $19.98 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,092 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Linden. 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 Linden 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.

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 Linden. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
