“HIGHLY recommend. Came home to a really sweet note with treats for the lil dude and got daily cute cat pics throughout the week. Never used a sitter before and was nervous but Cara made it so easy and Chewie had a blast!”
About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you
“We recommend Matt for your pet care. He took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were on vacation coming three times a day. Matt is very reliable and connected well with all of the pets.”
About: What sets me apart from others is I'll never change from being kind. Kind is where it is and will always. dogs come first in my eyes I can work on your schedule. I love being punctual. If you need a sitter I will try to be there when requested. Don't believe me try it out I will only do as told. I will never go out of boundaries. What you say goes. I WILL keep your dog or cat on your schedule
“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”
About: I have been looking into doing petsitting for some time now and I know that from prior experience with pets and volunteer work, I am able to provide your pets’ needs in any way possible. I’m currently doing a art class until the 20th and is volunteering at the cat cafe from time to time so my availability may vary. I would clean up litters from my cats’ litter boxes and give food to them. I have been a volunteer at a cat cafe that a friend of mine was a part of for a while now. We would clean the cats’ litter boxes, food bowls, make sure that the cats are fed, and straighten up the cafe along with organizing the cats’ toys so it’s easy for the cats to navigate.
“Catherine was fabulous! Catherine dropped in on our two cats during a holiday weekend. She was kind, communicative, and reliable. We will definitely use her again.”
“Margaret did a fantastic job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week, making sure he got all the attention and playtime he needs. I loved receiving the detailed notes and pictures after each check-in! We will be reaching out to her again when we travel, for sure 😊”
About: Hey everyone! My name is Holbert. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, from Yorkies and Shih Tzus to Saint Bernards, and I’m just as happy spending time with cats too. I’m a law student, but outside of school I really enjoy being around animals, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets, playful with the energetic ones, and I’ll probably send you way too many funny pictures while you’re gone. I’m also very respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands 😊 My schedule is pretty structured during the week, with work on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 5 and classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 to 4. Fridays through the weekend, though, I have much more flexibility and can really dedicate my time to walks, drop ins, playtime, and hanging out with your pets. I also do my best to work pet care around my weekday schedule whenever possible, so your pet still gets the attention and consistency they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I try to keep things as comfortable and familiar for them as possible. I follow, feeding schedules, walking routines, house, rules, and any special instructions you leave for me, also making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m patient with pets who need a little extra time to warm up, and I always pay attention to their personality and comfort level. In a client‘s home, I’m also very respectful of the space. I will always leave things clean and cared for, just as I found them, if not better.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl. My family has fostered animals growing up, showing me the true meaning of giving someone love even if it’s just temporarily. Being your pets home away from home is important to me and guaranteed! I am available when ever needed my schedule is completely freed up! Let me know what days you need and I will get right back to you! The pets I babysit for are my first priority. Every single one of their needs will always be met and is the most important part of my day.
“They did an incredible job with my anxious pup and went above and beyond to make her comfortable as well as communicate frequently with me. Will absolutely plan to use them whenever I need a pet sitter!!!”
About: I've been caring for pets for almost 10 years, including about 8 years of experience with both dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of dogs—from big to small, energetic to laid-back, and everything in between! I love getting to know each dog's personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which gives me great availability for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to work around your schedule and provide your pets with the attention and care they need. I’ll always care for your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether we’re out for a walk, enjoying some playtime, having a meal, or simply keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for!
About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.
About: I was gifted my first puppy at 10 years old and from that moment I knew I had been missing the love of animals in my life. Going through high school, I walked neighborhood dogs while families went away on vacation. I also made “as needed” drop in visits for families with young dogs and cats. Recently, I was tasked with taking a sick Boston Terrier to the vet and then held the responsibility of giving her medicine twice daily. Currently, I’m working part time in an office setting. In the near future I hope to take on caring for animals full time! I will be able to work early morning or late at night depending on what is needed from the client. I will easily adapt to your routine at home in order for your pet to have the best experience. Leaving little notes for me is highly encouraged so the routine you have already put in place is continuous.
“Linda took great care of my kitty Betty, including making sure she got the daily exercise needed. During COVID, we did a video chat to meet which was perfect. I am so grateful she was available and will call her again.”
“Callie is just the sweetest pet sitter! Not only did she provide tons of cuddles and play, she even left a treat jar for Bailey and a thank you card after she was gone. What a sweet sentiment! Bailey appreciated the treats so much! And the thank you card was so sweet! Thank you Callie for that extra special touch! We will be sure to use her services in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Linwood is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 8,949 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Linwood. 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 .
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 , 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 Linwood. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
