“Shannon did an amazing job taking care of our pups! Our pups can be a handful sometimes because they jump and want all the attention, but she didn’t seem to mind and gave them tons of love while we were out of town! She sent pictures and updates every time she checked in with them and it made me feel very at ease while I was on vacation!”
“Matthew redefines exceptional pet care provider! He shared updates that included details about how my three fur friends (one dog, two cats) were faring and pictures that showed a happy fur family. He was timely, responsible, and went above and beyond with my very last minute request. I highly recommend him for wonderful care of your furries! Will definitely be acquiring his services again! Thank you, Matthew!”
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, I know just how much our pets mean to us—they're family! I've owned, cared for, and trained dogs ranging from small breeds to large breeds, giving me extensive experience understanding their unique personalities, behaviors, and needs. Training has always been something I'm passionate about, and I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement go a long way in helping dogs feel happy, confident, and secure. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, reinforcing good habits, or simply providing plenty of love and attention, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the same love and care I'd give my own. I can't wait to meet your four-legged family member! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have the flexibility throughout the day to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to stop by during midday hours for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra companionship. I know how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I'm happy to work around their individual needs and schedules. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or some quality time while you're away, I'll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for! I believe pets are happiest when they're comfortable in their own home and familiar routine! I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. With over 15 years of experience caring for and training dogs of all sizes, I'm confident in providing safe, reliable, and personalized care. I'll treat your pet like family, respect your home, and keep you updated so you always have peace of mind!
“Shelly was absolutely amazing! It is very obvious that she loves animals. She is so patient and sweet. She is also very flexible and accommodating with the scheduling. She communicated promptly and provided excellent notes and photos. In addition, she took the time to show me how to properly clean my cat's ears and to help break up mucus since he has a chronic sinus issues. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I have taken care of almost every dog in my small town from Alaska! I am trusted by everyone in my town with any variety of pets. I take care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I owned two reptiles back in Alaska so I have experience. If you need a reliable person who is good with all animals, give me a shout! I am currently living a life of freedom and nature loving. I travel around the world in my camper van and take care of pets all across the way. I would be more than happy to stay with your pet while you were away as well if that would make both the owner and the pet more comfortable. I would be willing to stay at no extra charge. I am incredibly flexible with the care of any pet and I will follow the owners instructions as directed to make sure their pet friend does not have a disturbed routine. If your pup needs time to play outside, I would be happy to exercise them as needed. I can feed as many times a day as needed and can provide regular care.
“Jana has been great for our weekly check ins. Both kittens love her, and she always does a great job playing with them and giving them all the snuggles they want! She goes above and beyond cleaning up after their “lunch dates.” Highly recommend booking with her if your schedules line up!”
“Lee took great care of my animals, followed all directions, and stayed in close communication with me regarding the animals and any concerns. I have used before and will use again! My animals love him!”
“Kathryn (Grace) was excellent with drop in visits for my cat while I was on vacation. She's reliable, communicated efficiently, easy to work with, and my cat was healthy and happy when I got home. I had peace of mind the whole time away.”
About: I am a previous foster parent for Oconee Humane Society and have taken care of all ages of dogs. As a foster parent, I took care of dogs with different behavioral issues, therefore, I am experienced with reactive dogs. I work full-time Monday–Friday with flexible hours, so my schedule can vary from day to day. I’m available for pet care before and after work, as well as during flexible portions of my workday. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, walks, and care. I currently live in a very spacious town home that includes a dog park. I also have access to numerous walking trails in my area.
About: Hi, my name is Sarah! As a dog mom myself (I have a 17 year old Yorkie named Ruby), I know how special our pets are to our hearts and the importance of finding a great, caring sitter for those times when we must be away. In addition, I have ample pet-sitting/walking experience with both large and small breed dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, raccoons, and a variety of other animals. I’m responsible, kind, and genuinely love critters of all kinds! I’m also more than happy to provide references, if requested. Please message me if you have any questions! Pet care is incredibly important to me. Therefore, I prioritize and customize my routine based on pets’ needs to ensure that they are cared for to the highest standard. I am happy to care for pets in the client’s home or in my own, depending upon the client’s needs/preferences. I feed, walk, play, take out for potty breaks, and spend quality time with pets. I am also comfortable with giving medication to pets if needed.
About: I have grooming, training, & boarding experience. I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊

The average cost of Pet Sitting in McKelvey Crossroads is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $20 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.

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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
