About: Hi! I live in Arvada and love watching dogs! Dogs naturally listen to me well and I've been watching and taking care of dogs for over 14 years and currently don’t have my own. I grew up in the Front Range and recently moved back from Seattle. I'd love to take the dogs out to the park, hiking, running, or just to the dog park. I currently am staying with family so I’m able to house sit but not yet host doggos :-) I can’t wait until I can! I work on Tues, Thurs, and Fri and I’m able to come home before and after work on those days and my Mon and Weds allows flexibility to take care of your pups! Otherwise we are on walks and getting outside rain or shine! I can easily crate your dog if needed. We take frequent outdoor breaks and I never mind going outside. Currently I’m able to stay at the owners home to provide an easy experience for the pups.

About: Always had dogs & cats as a kid. Always loved it too! I worked with them for years and years and got a good overall feel/sense for various types and breeds, situations etc. I started taking care of neighbors pets, then friends too, and once Covid shut down our family stores, it gave me a chance to continue doing what I love, working with animals! I especially enjoy the challenge of winning over dogs that are timid, uncomfortable, anxious, have been abused, etc. I love proving to them that they're Safe. Everythings alright. Its ok to relax. Some are nervous around me or arent great with adults/males/strangers etc. That's Ok! Please see my reviews, Thanks for your consideration! My day totally revolves around my clients. They come First! Depending on what care I have to give to each animal. I'm around all the time otherwise! I take countless precautions to assure the safety of anyone and everyone that will be involved in my care for my clients. I keep an eye on them all day and night!

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. Family friends and people in my neighborhood would consider me very reliable!! We recently adopted our own puppy Morta(della) who loves to be with other dogs. I am excited to chat with you and your furry friend(: I currently work from home so I am available all the time during the day and week. This means your pet will always have somebody with them! I want animals to feel comfortable and safe in my home so they are allowed on the furniture and in beds. I have a fenced in park right behind me that is great for an afternoon game of fetch!

“Samantha sis an amazing job taking care of our two cats and our 9 year old retriever! She was so attentive and professional. She sent photos daily and it was clear that all 3 pets were having a blast with her during her visits! I highly recommend her and hope that she will be available to come back and pet sit for us again!”

About: I currently have a 1 year old English mastiff who is 170 pounds and he is the best boy! He has to walk 2-3 miles everyday, so your pup will be definitely walked until they don’t want to move! I also had a rescue dog who was a Rottweiler mix who was very reactive. He was reactive towards other dogs and people, but luckily I was able to learn from him. I currently work full time during the week, and have to walk my mastiff 2-3 miles after work so he sleeps at night, but the weekends I am able to come walk with your dogs. I do not plan on bringing your dog to my house, but any instruction you need me to follow I will once I am in your home.

About: What sets me apart is my deep background in providing structured, highly patient care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I excel at managing specialized behavioral needs. Whether your pup is anxious, high-energy, or just thrives on a precise schedule, I know how to bring a calm, understanding energy to every single drop-in visit. I don't just stop by for a quick potty break; I focus on maintaining your dog's exact routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. From administering precise instructions to handling sensitive or nervous dogs with a gentle touch, I treat your furry family member with the dedicated individual attention they deserve. You can rest easy knowing your pup is in experienced, trustworthy, and capable hands! I am currently launching my own independent consulting business and working as a substitute teacher, which gives me incredible control over my daily calendar! This unique professional flexibility allows me to seamlessly open up plenty of midday windows, mornings, and evenings for dedicated drop-in visits, medication schedules, or quick potty breaks throughout the week. My professional background means I excel at managing structured routines and maintaining clear, calm boundaries. In your home, I emphasize safety by following your exact care guidelines, double-checking locks, and providing focused care for anxious or sensitive dogs.

About: I'm good with all animals. I've just always clicked with our little furry friends. No dog is too big and no cat is too spicy. I'm logical, fun, and love playing with animals. I'm currently in a tough job market as AI is really taking over a lot of the software world. I'd love to make a little side hustle money while taking care of our furry friends. I think the most important thing is I treat all animals with love and respect. And I'm not looking to mess up any routines you guys have set. I will execute them for the letter.

About: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and four years of hands-on experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a dog kennel/daycare. I’m currently a first-year veterinary student at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, continuing to build my knowledge and skills in animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injectable medications such as insulin, and have experience caring for dogs with behavioral challenges, including dog-aggressive dogs. My own dog has these challenges, so I understand the importance of patience, proper handling, and creating a safe environment for every pet. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, as I have a dog and cat of my own. I’m passionate about providing pets with the same attentive, compassionate care I would want for my own. I’ll be starting my first year of veterinary school soon, so my exact class schedule is not set yet. I expect to have the most flexibility in the afternoons and evenings, and I’ll plan my pet care schedule around my classes. My veterinary school schedule may vary from day to day, but I’m committed to being reliable and communicating clearly about my availability. I’ll also have flexibility on weekends and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize trust and keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. For overnight stays, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow each pet’s individual routine and instructions, including feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and exercise needs. With four years of veterinary clinic and dog daycare experience, along with my current veterinary education, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and handling a variety of personalities and needs. I also have experience with dogs who may be reactive or aggressive toward other dogs, so I take introductions, walks, and environmental safety seriously. My goal is for every pet to feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, mainly large breeds. I’ve grown up with them and love all dogs so much. I’ve walked, fed, groomed, and cared for all types of dogs. I’m currently in college, I don’t have a full time job so this will help making extra money. I love being outdoors, especially in the summer and it’s even better with a dog. I have a black lab myself, every time on a walk he is on a harness & leash to ensure he can’t run away and is always by my side. I will do the same for your fur baby to return them home safely.

About: ive had a few different dogs growing up, i love animals. this will be something different for me but i’m looking forward to it! i’m just trying to make a little extra money. I work full-time as an infant teacher, so I have a consistent weekday schedule and plenty of free time in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends to care for pets! I’m home most evenings, and I love spending that time going for walks, playing, and keeping your pets company. Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or walks, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day. I have pet CPR and first aid and I’m insured we’ve had a couple different dogs growing up, so i will have no problem bringing them potty, putting them in their cages, walking them ect..

About: I've been looking after dogs, cats, and exotic pets for about 10 years now. I have a dog, 2 cats, and a leopard gecko of my own, so I know how to take care of all types of animals! I originally started my pet care journey with family pets, and slowly began gaining clients through family friends and being recommended to other people. I have handled all age ranges from kittens to seniors, so I'm able to do a wide array of services (administering medicine, being extra observant, correcting behavior, training, etc.) I'm able to be outside in all kinds of weather, and I can walk or play with your animals for as long as you prefer! I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to care for your animals! My work is very flexible and I am often able to step away to visit your animals. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons, all day Sunday, and all day Monday. Depending on what environment your animal has at your home, I cater to your every preference. On leash, off leash, crated, no pets on furniture, etc. I always make sure to respect my clients homes and most importantly their wishes!

We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mendon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mendon is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 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 November 2026, there are 8,032 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mendon. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mendon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Mendon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mendon. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.

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.
