“Candice did a fantastic job dropping in on our pups while we were away for the day. This was our first time ever using a pet sitter/drop-in service, and she made it such a great experience. My dogs usually take some time to warm up to new people, but they almost immediately took to her. She was attentive, caring, and made sure all of their needs were met. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Absolutely amazing, completely beyond my expectations. Extremely professional meeting and working out key logistics. Very caring and attentive with my cat. Did an excellent job of caring for him and giving him a few minutes of active play/learning time each day that I was away. Took lots of pictures each day of him playing and learning tricks which really improved my days. 100% would recommend to anyone.”

About: My husband and I own our home in the Sedgwick neighborhood, which has a fenced-in backyard and lots of safe space for long walks and playtime. We do not own a dog at the moment, so we have plenty of energy and love to go around! We also have years of experience caring for our dogs and sitting for friends who own dogs in a wide range of sizes and breeds. I pride myself on how well dogs listen to me when I try to train them to listen and maybe try a trick or two to keep their minds engaged and give them an enriching daily life. Please consider hiring us; your furry friends will be safe in very loving and nurturing hands. We both work less than 15 minutes away from home (Mon-Fri, 830-4) with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Because of our sedentary work lives, we try to stay active when we're not working with lots of walks and time outside. Owning our own home with a fenced-in yard allows us to give dogs of any size the room to explore and rest wherever they feel comfortable. We are attentive and LOVE the energy that a dog brings to our home. Having a pet around makes all the difference, especially when we can tell that they feel safe and enriched with play and comfort every day. Pet sitting is a win-win-win for us, your pet, and you!

About: As a former professional zookeeper, I know what it takes to provide the highest standard of care for exotic and domestic animals. I am an experienced pet sitter who has worked with various kinds of pets since childhood. I have experience with dogs both large and small, cats, rodents, insects, and more, all of which span different age groups and possess different medical needs. While I work full-time, I am very willing to work with you and your schedule to figure out how I can meet you and your pets' needs. I treat every pet under my care the same as I would treat my own and cater to each of their unique personalities and needs.

“Alyssa swooped in and saved the day when an unanticipated emergency landed me in the hospital. The stress of who would look in on my beloved dog while I was gone was more stressful than my own well being. Alyssa stepped right up, made time immediately for a quick introduction which left me completely relaxed, knowing that my Pep would be in good hands during my absence. Absolutely recommend. 5 Star”

About: I grew up in Florida surrounded by a wide variety of animals including dogs, and I love being able to care for people’s fur babies like they’re my own. I have experience dog-sitting, dog-walking, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’m currently working a part-time job at a bookstore while pursuing my Master’s online through SU, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can easily provide your pet with company in your home or simply go provide them with care and fulfill their needs before leaving. Whatever works best for you! I’ve also house-sit before and stayed with a person’s pet to ensure their dog never felt lonely or without care.

About: I have always been the person a friend or family member reached out to for pet care for as long as I could remember. Dogs and cats have been a major part of my life since I was born, always having them in the house and growing up alongside them. Now at 26, I am a cat mom to two boys and an auntie to many pups and kitties! I love caring for animals because they give us so much love and affection; they are not just pets, but family. It sounds cliché but it’s so true - they are living heartbeats that deserve the best quality of life, just like humans. I work a regular 9-5, Monday through Friday at a local live entertainment organization. On occasion, I will have to work events. I also help part-time at a local pizza business. I am fantastic with communication and am an avid planner. Because I have two cats, I do not board at my apartment. I live in a one bedroom and am committed to giving them the best quality of life and limiting stressors. When I go away, I leave a detailed list of what my boys need, their routine, and all necessary contacts in case of an emergency. For any pets I watch, I will ask the same. I like to know every detail possible in order to keep routines on track and be prepared for any scenario.

About: Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family! I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs and cats through my holistic pet supply store, professional grooming services, and pet wellness work. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your four-legged family member. I’m experienced with pets of all personalities and love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether we’re out enjoying a walk, stopping in for some one-on-one attention, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first! Pet care is already a big part of my weekly routine! I spend my days surrounded by dogs and cats through my pet business, grooming, nutrition, and wellness work. I’m excited to add walks and drop-in visits to my schedule, giving local pets extra exercise, companionship, attention, and care throughout the week. When I care for your pet in your home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment. I follow your routines and instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and make sure your pet has everything they need before I leave. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands.

Again, Josiah has proved to be exemplary!! My plans changed twice due to a train scheduling issue and a major storm. He accommodated both changes with his usual calm manner. He is a complete professional. And my cat loves him - Hey (my cat) who doesn't ever come out to meet anyone, came out once in two weeks! That's LOVE in my cat's book. I have complete trust in him and I will always choose Josiah.

Mollie has been an amazing sitter for our cat, Chester, and he adores her! We appreciate all the quality time she spends with him during our time away. She is very thoughtful, caring and very trustworthy. We love the pictures and thorough updates that she provides after each drop-in... and Chester certainly enjoys all the attention, treats and brushings!

Hannah has been super with our 2 dachshunds and 3 cats. She has been pet sitting for a couple of years with daily visits along with overnight stays when we’ve gone out of town. One of our dachshunds is very timid and guarded but warmed up to her very quickly. She even visited one day when the other dachshund chewed through the water line to a toilet and flooded the bathroom. She turned off the water and then sent us videos of what happened. Could have been so much worse if it weren’t for Hannah. We highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitting needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mattydale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mattydale is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 550 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mattydale. 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 Mattydale. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 .

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.
