About: I have walked and dog-sat for 7 years now with great reviews. Taken care of small 15 pound dogs to 80 pound dogs. Able to care with full attention and provide the best support. Flexible schedule, with willingness to negotiate certain times. Own 1 dog of my own, and have always had a dog in the house. I do not have any prejudice against specific dog breeds. Friendly personality, easy-going, and willing to match any dogs energy levels. Any restrictions, such as food or physical, are able to be accommodated and discussed. Possibility of last-minute scheduling, but be mindful of possible conflicts. I would need to know if the dog has any history of violence or biting, as that is a key factor for me to plan. I am a freelancer and have no major commitments that require my attention so I am able to fit pet sitting into my schedule very easily. I am able to do walks short or long, play dates, travel, medications, crating, dietary challenges, and most requirements that would come up for a pets needs.

About: I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a VetBloom Certified Veterinary Assistant, one of the few NAAVTA-approved programs, and I spent the summer working at a small animal hospital. I have experience with all kinds of animals and I’m comfortable handling everything from everyday care to the occasional high-maintenance personality. I’m reliable, experienced, and genuinely enjoy being around animals! 🐶 Schedule I currently work part time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I love taking breaks to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and companionship! Oops 😂 then definitely don’t claim that. We can make it about your approach to safety and caring for pets in their home, which is probably even better for Rover. 🐾 Schedule I currently work part time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I love taking breaks to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of companionship! 🏡 Safety, trust & environment I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. Or, if you want it to sound more personal and less professional: Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Kaylee, I am 23 years old and my biggest personality trait is my love for animals. If you were to ask someone who knows me, they may say “that girl with the zoo? I currently have 5 pets, who I consider my children, and that is the least amount of animals I have ever owned at once. (Only due to apartment living.) Caring for animals is my comfort and passion, it truly brings me joy. I have never lived a day without pets- and I don’t want to, so, I focused my career around them. However, I’m still in search of more! I am currently a manager at a dog boarding facility part time, and I love my job, but I would love to find more local work. At my facility, I am currently managing multiple groups of up to 20 free ranged dogs at a time. I have worked with nearly every dog breed out there, and I have loved them all. I have experience in handling many medical conditions in dogs, such as anxiety, allergies, seizures, joint issues, diabetes, asthma, and many more. I also have experience in administering a multitude of medications, including inhalers and insulin. I am currently working part time, and my work days are typically the same each week. I am unavailable on my work days during hours 4 AM- 3 PM, but I would love to work with you any other time! The approach I take to care for a pet depends on the pets temperament and needs. As I have probably met over 2,000 dogs at this point- I understand that each dog is different. Some may want constant affection, and I’m more than happy to give that! However, I know that some pets appreciate their space, or need to be taken slowly with.

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Elyssa. I was nervous because a previous sitter experience, but Elyssa helped my anxiety and took perfect care of my two cats. One of my cats has allergies, asthma, and takes meds and Elyssa handled all without any issues. My boy was hive-free when we returned home after a week. The daily pics of playtime and cuddles were so wonderful to receive.”

“We had an amazing experience with Darian! She did a phenomenal job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. We felt reassured from the moment we left knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond—keeping us updated with photos and messages, ensuring they stuck to their routines, and showing them so much love and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared for our pups, and we returned to find them happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”

“We had a wonderful experience with Courtney! I accidentally booked the wrong weekend for our cat care, and as soon as I realized the mistake and contacted her, she immediately offered to head right over to take care of my kitty. That level of kindness, flexibility, and reliability meant so much to me, especially while traveling over a holiday weekend. She stayed for at least a full hour each visit, sent tons of photos and detailed updates every day, and clearly spent quality time making sure my cat was comfortable and cared for. The updates really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing my kitty was in such good hands. I truly appreciated her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care for animals. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!”

“We would highly recommend Chelsea! We made last minute plans and she was able to accommodate our schedule. I’m (ridiculously) protective of my dog and was nervous about having someone in to care for him. Chelsea put my mind at ease immediately. She was professional, very compassionate, and has a lot of experience with dogs of all temperaments. I enjoyed her frequent updates and photos, I could see that our dog was being well cared for and had connected well with Chelsea. We will definitely use her again!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dog sitting for family members. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m available anytime on Fridays and weekends since I’m off work those days. Monday through Thursday, I’m available for evening visits and later times as needed. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my home, dogs are always supervised. While my yard is not fenced, I take dogs out on a leash only to ensure their safety at all times. I never leave pets unattended outside. Inside, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I have a sweet, friendly golden retriever puppy who is well-socialized and gentle. All interactions are closely monitored to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. If a dog prefers space or separate time, I fully respect that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure, doors and gates are checked, and I provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She took care of all three of my fur baby cats, ages ranging from 14 to 1 years old. She was able to get all three pets out playing, purring, eating and relaxing with her- huge relief while I was out of town! She also administered four different types of meds to my elder cat with ease. I will definitely be hiring Kimberly again while out of town!”

Julie was great with our two dogs. She went slow with our newest shelter pup who is not very people friendly. She did a wonderful job with both dogs. Will definitely use her again to take care of my exuberant black lab and my skittish cockapoo.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Loch Linden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Loch Linden is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $21 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 2,160 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Loch Linden. 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 Loch Linden. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
