“Chance was absolutely incredible! He left such detailed feedback for each drop-in visit, and he took the best possible care of Avett while I was out-of-town. I would definitely recommend booking with him, and I’ll 100% be using him again!”
“Ludi has been great. She visited with my dog numerous times while I was home to make sure that my dog would be comfortable with her when I was not there. I feel that Ludi will take care of "the sweetest thing ever" like I would if I could be home 24/7. Thank you, Ludi!”
“Denise was great with my 2 cats! Very responsive, friendly, and provided photos and comments for every drop in visit while I was on vacation. I felt at ease knowing my girls were taken care of! Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Anna did a great job watching our cat, Sammy, for us. She was on time, gave me updates, and sent photos during her visit. If you are looking for someone who will care for your pet(s) while you are away, I highly recommend Anna.”
“Emily was wonderful in taking care of our two cats. She was prompt in sending us photos and even took the time to water our plants without us asking! We will definitely use her again! Caroline and Joe”
About: Hi, my name is Sara Fox! I’m 30 years old! I’ve had dogs in my family since I could walk. I’m very flexible and if something comes up, I let you know ahead of time. I’ve done pet sitting for many years. My family and I have a boxer with lots of energy. I have a huge heart for dogs and dogs have been a huge part of my life. I enjoy doing anything outside and would be more than happy to take your dog(s) on hikes. I hope that you take into consideration what I have provided you and look forward to hearing from you soon! Enjoy your day! Thank you! I currently don't have my own animal. I take care of other's animals and have always been good with that. Hope to hear from you! I would treat any clients home like my own. I want to leave it the way the it was when I arrived at your home to take care of your animal(s).
“Heather is wonderful, she cares for my cats while I am away. My cats remember each time from the previous time and it gives me a lot of peace of mind to know they are with someone they trust and love.”
About: I grew up with a Zuchon! I also cared for a variety of labs growing up! I currently have a cat and recently cared for a gecko! I know my way around animals and I absolutely adore each one. I currently work part-time! I either work 12-4 or 4-8/8:30 (sometimes both!). But my mornings are always free! I’m also always off Wednesdays and should be available Sunday evenings! Your home will be my home! I will absolutely respect your pets rules and your house rules too! I can walk, feed, play, watch, etc. depending on your/your babies needs!
“She was great with Remi! 😊 She checked on him twice during a long overnight shift for me, kept me updated, and followed all instructions perfectly. I’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
“I am new to Rover and petsitting. Rory was amazing! Rory came for a meet and greet which I really appreciated. He was very communicative, on time, and reliable. I have a rescued dog who is scared of strangers but she warmed up to him right away. He made progress with her giving her treats to gain her trust. I’m so relieved I have someone I can trust with my babies. I am having Rory come again when I go away for a week which I didn’t want to book until I felt comfortable.”
About: Experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs for over 24 years. Always had dogs since I've had children 24 years ago they are part of our family.We've had two boxers at one time at about 70 pounds each when our children were small .A West end terrier to bichon poodle mix and she is who I have now at 6 pounds. After our West Highland Terrier got ran over by a car for years ago it was a tough loss for my family. With that being said I thought we wouldn't get any more dogs because the loss was too tough however not a home without a dog or cat whatever your preferences is just empty in my opinion. They truly are part of your family And love unconditionally.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and absolutely love taking care of them! I am a full time stay at home mom. I'm available anytime. I love taking walks and we go to parks and walks all the time so the dogs would get plenty of exercise. They will be well taken care of and loved. I can give baths if needed, will also brush the dogs. Absolutely love getting to play with dogs and have them running around and enjoying their time outside! I'm pretty flexible on times and what all would need to be done. I am willing to travel to your house and walk the dogs, feed and water them as needed and anything else that needs to be done to care for your dog. This just has to be done at certain times. I have three kids, 8, 6, and 1 they absolutely love animals as well and are nice to the dogs! We live in a small mobile home park and dogs are allowed so no worries there. I can watch the dog while you're on vacation or however, whenever is needed if I get some notice! I am a stay at home mom so I'm home all day almost every day. I can take them outside to play a lot too. I don't have a fenced yard so dogs would be leashed and will get long walks. They will get toys inside as well to play with and fed and watered as requested. Im a stay at home mama so i have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups!! I also have 3 little helpers to run out some of their energy! I don't have a fenced yard so they will be leashed but there is a dog park very close to me that's fenced in and i am more than happy to take them there and run out some energy!
“Guilherme was an amazing pet sitter. He did drop in visits for our cat Percy. Spent time with him and kept us informed with pics and texts. It is very obvious he adores animals and they him. Top notch, trustworthy and dedicated care. Very highly recommend and will definitely be using him in the future.”
About: I've taken care of my own and others pets since the age of 8. I love all pets and have taken care of many species. Including large and small dogs, cats, chinchilla, and hamster. I am also open to new pets as well. I currently have a part time job so I will be able to care for you pet almost full time. I would love to watch your pet overnight or on weekends as well. I personally only own 1 cat who is very friendly to animals and people. He does tend to hide under the bed with visitors. I will take care or you family member like my own. While I do not have a yard, my balcony is pet friendly and I walk the animals multiple times a day.
About: Born and raised in Colorado, I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, and pretty much every other type of domestic pet. From a young age I was responsible for training all of my animals, and because of that I have extensive puppy and horse training experience. I currently have two dogs and one cat whom I love unconditionally, but I’m always looking for more furry friends. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I currently work full-time from home, so I am able to accommodate frequent potty breaks and walks throughout the day! I currently take my dogs out for frequent walks and we’d love one more addition! I have a fenced yard that is available to me, but pets are family so they sleep inside and stay indoors on extreme hot/cold days.
About: As the keeper of a small zoo from scaly snakes to big furry puppers, I have a love for all types of animals and caring for them. Your fur baby would be in good hands with an experienced pro like me. Lots of pats, attention, love will be given. I’m a full-time college student, so each week is different. However, I will always ensure I have plenty of free time to devote to your lovable good boy/girl. Your home and pet will be respected and cared for in a fashionable manner. Rules and tips will be followed, and all needs will be accommodated for the best care. I offer all services except those involving bringing an animal into my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Linden on Rover is $21.4 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 133 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.

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.
