About: Hi! I’m Izzy, a passionate pet-lover who can provide care for your fur-babies. I’ve been a dog mom for quite some time, 7+ years. I am experienced with caring for senior dogs, reactive dogs (any size), cats, and puppies. Whether your pet may need high-energy walks, playtime, calm walks, feeding, or simply a cozy companionship while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I understand the importance of peace of mind when leaving your pet with another. That is why I always follow a routine, clarify directions for care for your pet, precise on feeding schedules, and ensure your pet feels safe and welcome. With my late baby, my lab/pitt mix Levi, I got to intern as a dog trainer to learn techniques to help with my dog’s reactivity, obedience training, and leash training. I am extremely patient and overall want to continue to share my love for animals through my sitting services. The services I offer are: - Dog walking: 30-60 minutes around the neighborhood tailored to your specific dogs’ needs and pace. - Drop In Visits: feeding, fresh water, litter box change, yard waste pickup, and play/cuddle indoor or outdoor time. - Overnight House-sitting: full overnight care in your home to keep your pet comfortable within their regular routine. I am extremely excited to start using Rover to expand my care and love for animals! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to do leash walks, playtime, feeding, litter box changes, and more throught my day. I am currently available Wednesday - Sunday at any time depending on the schedule you may need. I will not be offering my home to clients but will be happy to pet-sit in yours. Safety with any animal is priority, as their safety and mine is my first step when pet-sitting. I always check home codes, fences/gates on outdoor yard playtime, and proper space between several pets in a home (if noted/required). During playtime, I am always consistent with checking toys/bones throughout to ensure there are no choking hazards. During leashed walks, I always take note of your animals temperament and comfortability with me as their walker. Looking out for warning signs with me or any other animals on our walks.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and care for animals of all ages! I have experience caring for both young pets and senior pets, and I understand that each has their own unique needs and personalities. Whether it's giving extra patience and attention to playful puppies and kittens or providing gentle, loving care to older pets who may need a little extra support, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give them the same love, attention, and care they receive at home. Your pet's happiness and well-being will always be my top priority! ❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I'm able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving them the attention they deserve. I can also be flexible with scheduling and do my best to accommodate your pet's normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I love doing, not just a job. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away!

“Jessica went above and beyond taking care of our senior dog over a holiday weekend! She made sure that she had food (even opening our automatic dispenser to be sure), topped up her water, played a ton of fetch with her, and even wiped out her ears when they were bothering her. The whole time, she kept us up to date of what was going on, was on time, and was very respectful of our property. Will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve had many kinds of pets growing up from dogs and cats to ferrets and hamsters. Pet care has always been my passion and 4 years ago it became my career as a fear free certified veterinary assistant and dog groomer! My work schedule typically does not stay the same every week other than Wednesdays and Thursdays. Wed and Thurs I work from 7am-3pm. Tuesdays and Fridays can be either 6 hour days or 10 hour days. Though I cannot offer my home for pet care, I am very flexible and can offer drop by visits, early morning or late evening, in home pet sitting, long and short walks.
“Jessica was great. She managed to get my dogs to go out in the rain (which they did not want to do!). Even my cat was comfortable with her right away and he’s usually a little skittish with new people. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 3 years now, and my love for animals has always been a big part of who I am. My experience includes providing attentive, loving care through daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners are away. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. Whether caring for an energetic pup who loves to explore, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a little extra attention, I strive to make every visit a positive experience. I take pet safety seriously and always make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your beloved animal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. i'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have fun with your pups! I'm available three days a week midday to late evening I live in an apartment and can hold pets during the day, to play and cuddle! I live near plenty of dog parks and walking trails and will more than likely be on the go enjoying them with your pup.
About: Hi, my name is Kieaira! 💕 I have taken care of dogs for many years now, and also have dogs of my own. So I completely understand communication is key when your fur babies are being taken care of by someone else! Neighbors have asked me to walk there dog with my dog for many years now, and I volunteer to every time. 😊 My schedule is open to early mornings or late evenings, as I work during the day! I would prefer at least a 48 hour notice but can take 24 hour on a case by case basis. ⏰ I have two dogs, Nico and Zara, who I have adopted over the years! I have also fostered dogs from the animal shelter, and gave them comfort until they were transitioned to their new home. I understand that it takes patience, care, and genuine passion to take care of a fur baby. One of my favorite things to do is to run around with my dog, so I will be sure to have enough energy to play with your fur babies!

I am so grateful tonight. I was in a car accident on the way home. I asked Collette if she could do a second visit as I knew I would be late getting home after the accident. Without hesitation, she shifted her schedule around and helped me out. Collette, thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in McCarthys Corner is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 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 2,622 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McCarthys Corner. 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
