Christopher was great! Super responsive, took my pup to the vet when something suddenly came up and picked him up. Sent photos of the pups and they always looked like they were having so much fun! I will definitely be booking again. Thank you!

About: I have always had pets growing up, and have taken care of countless pets of all species, breeds, ages, and sizes for friends/family since high school. I love the challenge of winning over an animal that is hesitant around new people. The more stubborn they are to warm up to new people, the harder I try to win them over. But it is always at their pace and on their terms so that they are completely comfortable with me. Your pets will be loved and spoiled like they are my own. I am available during the nights for in-home pet sitting, with the option to pop in during the day to let your pet out and for feedings. When I care for pets in their own home I make sure that the pet owners show me where everything is located within the home for the animals, and leave emergency numbers such as vets in an accessible place in the case of emergency. I will take as much time with your pets as they need in order to be comfortable and well provided for.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them like family. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and ages, including high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. As someone with a CNA background and currently in nursing school, I’m very comfortable with routines, medications, attention to detail, and providing dependable care. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and trustworthy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to provide dependable care throughout the week and weekends depending on your needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and playtime. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to communicate updates and pictures while you’re away so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I understand that every animal has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to instructions, comfortable with medications if needed, and patient with shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy pets. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during walks and drop-ins, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own animals.

Elmira did an excellent job caring for my kitten. She was respectful of my space, took great pics of him, played with him even at his feistiest, and was willing to trouble shoot issues with my auto litterbox. Would definitely recommend her to sit your babies!

Olivia responded super fast to an emergency request where our dog Marley had broken out of our outdoor run while we had to drive out of town and would not be back until after 9pm. Olivia did a drop in visit and was able to get Marley and put her up for me in the dark of the night at a moments notice! Truly a LIFESAVER!! Cannot thank her enough!

About: I love pets of all kinds—especially dogs and cats—and I take pride in providing attentive, reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety are always my top priorities. I work independently, which allows me to be flexible and responsive with scheduling. I’m dependable, punctual, and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. The basics are always priority one: making sure your pet is fed, comfortable, and taken out as needed. From there, we play and engage at their pace. My goal is to keep your pet happy and relaxed—so you don’t have to worry while you’re away.

About: Hi I’m Madison! I love animals and have dog sat on multiple occasions for elderly and young dogs. I’d love to take care of your animals in exchange for the happiness I’ll get from walking and interacting with them! I have pretty open availability at the moment. I can pop in a couple times during the week or stay longer if needed. I do have animals at home so extended days will need to be talked about. I have a large yard that I can take your dog out to play in! There is also a park with a bunch of trails nearby!

About: I will tell you a bit about me and I need to know about your dog as well. Before contacting me about caring for your dog, make sure their profile(s) is completed here on Rover. Upload a picture and submit as much info as you can provide. It helps me determine if your dog is a good fit for what I can provide. About me: Raised in the country surrounded by both family pets and farm animals, caring for critters is second nature to me. I am a doting grandma who lives too far away from my kids to see my grandchildren so I channel that attention toward my Australian Shepherd, Gumbo, and my new puppy, Boo, the Yorki-Poo. After I lost my husband and best friend I found the best way to cope is to help others and keep busy. If I can help you out with your dog or cat while you're away, let me know. I can use the extra income but also I need to feel useful. I keep my fee low. Tips are appreciated. I board at my home in the country near Dukedom, TN. Think of boarding here as bringing your dog to Grandma's house. There will be some spoiling and if pet parents permit, homemade dog cookies! Currently I am home all the time. Your dog will be with me and my dog while here. Gumbo (30 pound neutered male) likes to play fetch or frisbee and we do this daily. I feed my dog early morning (6-7) and early evening (6-7). I give a lot of outside time when weather allows. I give my dog a lot of attention and your dog(s) will get the same. We are a pack and your dog will be part of that pack when he/she stays with us. I live on 6 acres near Dukedom, TN. My large backyard has a chain link fence. If your dog likes to play ball or frisbee this is a great yard to do it in. In addition to the backyard, I have a large field that I keep a path mowed around just for walks but to go there your dog(s) must have excellent recall or be leashed trained very well. I don't want to be pulled around or have to struggle to hold them. Dogs really like going to the field. "No" is the word I use to stop misbehavior. If there is a different word you use, let me know. It is good to know what words/phrases your dog recognizes. It'd be great if you write those down and give it to me. I have carpet throughout my living quarters so PLEASE only housebroken dogs. I give numerous long outdoor time between 5 AM to 9 PM. Potty breaks are every couple of hours. Your pet must be vaccinated! Bordatella vacs are recommended every six-to-twelve months. if your dog frequents places with other dogs, get 6 month vaccine. My dogs are vaccinated. In the warmer months, it is very important that dogs have a flea and tick preventative or have some defense against these nasty bugs because both are out here. I keep grass mowed but they still get on the dogs so make sure they have a preventative. My dogs wear clothing treated with Sawyer flea/tick spray and I have had great success with that method along with a monthly prescribed medicine. Bring your pet's food/bowls/treats along with feeding instructions. Filling out pet profile in depth on Rover helps tremendously! It has an area for vet info and anything I would need to know about your dog can be on their profile! Gumbo has dog toys that he shares but if your dog has a fave, bring it. If your dog must sleep in a bed or crate, bring it. Sometimes a sweater or anything with your scent on it comforts a dog that misses his/her owner. You're welcome to bring that. If he/she has a brush that you want me to use, bring it. I can brush dogs but have no proper facility to bathe. In the summer, I have a small dog pool to cool off in and plenty of shade in the backyard. NO cell service out here so I do not carry my phone with me. I check my messages several times thru the day but I'm not like most that have their phone on them. It does me no good. Many rural people pay for cell service despite not getting it at their homes. I have a landline that works providing my internet service works. If there is anything else you need to know, do not hesitate to ask. I have my profile set to only take in three dogs at a time. I have two so I think five is enough. I am very attentive so rest assured I am keeping a good eye on them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Metropolis on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 47 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Metropolis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Metropolis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
