“Mike is great with our dogs and goes out of his way to make sure we are aware of everything going on while away. Our 2 dogs are a little crazy and I know I don’t need to worry while gone if he’s there with them. Thank you Mike!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats alike since I was eleven years old. While cats and dogs are my favorites to take care of, I also have experience caring for rodents, reptiles, and amphibians. I work from home in a corporate position, but I have easily set up a portable workspace so I can work from a client's home and always be around for their pets. I am a very calm, very patient person, and have worked with dogs and cats with quite varying personalities. I work very well with energetic animals and can handle pretty much any animal mood, including jumpy dogs and angry cats.
About: I grew up in a veterinary family, then worked in a busy veterinary practice as an assistant for 10 years. My four legged dependents include two rescue dogs and two older cats. I’m well versed in the level of commitment and routine it takes to care for animals well. I currently work in a hybrid role that has me working from home several days a week. I have a small, pet friendly home with a well fenced yard. Dogs go out for frequent potty breaks and have plenty of couch time. I currently work full time, mostly from home. Im in office usually 4-6 hours Tuesday- Thursdays. I have plenty of time to offer drop in care or we can accommodate dogs for day care on the Friday-Monday schedule. I’m attentive to your pets routines and their need for comfort while their people are away. I’m happy to share photos or updates while in my care.
About: I am experienced in potty training dogs. I have noticed that dogs are quick to trust and feel comfortable with me because of my calming manner towards them. Currently, I am open and flexible to pet sit on both Saturdays and Sundays. On Mondays I am avaliable from 9am-1pm. During summer I will be avaliable on Mondays from 8am-1pm. Growing up, I was around a lot of different sizes and ages of dogs and was able to easily potty train them whilst making them feel safe and trusted and if they ever had an accident I wouldn't yell or scold them, but I would calmly discipline them and was patient on teaching them how to properly go to the bathroom. And when they listened and behaved me after I gave them commands and when they slept through the night without accidents I would reward them is doggie treats, compliments and snuggles.
About: I have always loved dogs. They are the very best of us. My last two dogs lived to 17 years old so I'm very familiar with the needs of elderly dogs and my current dog (4 years old) we got as a puppy. Anything you need I can handle with love and confidence. Happy to send updates and pictures. Our pets are family. I'm a local photographer so I get to set my own schedule. I can mold it to your pet's needs. I'm active and wake up early. I have laminate floors and a completely fenced in large back yard. I understand every animal is different and since I work from home, we do not have a pet door so even indoor pets are safe. I'm happy to follow your rules and respect boundaries. Happy to send pictures and updates!
About: I’m an experienced, dependable dog lover with two active, playful dogs of my own, and I have previous house-sitting experience caring for other people’s dogs. I enjoy providing dogs of all sizes with engaging playtime, regular walks, and attentive care. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including helping reinforce basic training and routines. I’m confident handling both large and small breeds, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and each dog’s individual needs. I understand the importance of keeping a reliable schedule for meals, walks, playtime, medications, and other care instructions. I can also provide baths when needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. As a college student, I will need to attend classes during the academic year; however, I am on summer break until late September and have broad availability during that time. Once the school year begins, I will be in class on Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Outside of those hours, I can provide reliable and attentive care for your pet. I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I will keep unsafe or non-pet-friendly items securely out of reach and follow your preferences for collars, harnesses, leashes, and outdoor safety. For walks, car rides, and any time spent outside the home, I will make sure your pet is properly secured. I will maintain their regular feeding and potty schedule, provide frequent outdoor breaks, and keep them engaged with activities they enjoy, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or other favorite games. Most importantly, I will provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you are away.
“Sarah was so wonderful with my seven month old puppy. Sarah was exceptional - she was reliable, knowledgeable, and kind hearted. You can tell she’s an animal person! Kovah loved her time with Sarah and her detailed notes were appreciated. We would definitely love to work with her again. Highly recommend Sarah for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Hope has been called the "cat whisper" in other reviews and it is true! We have 3 cats and one has been abused, so it takes a little warming up anyone new in the house. He is very happy to see Hope and has been very calm with her visiting. Hope took great care of them. She did drop in visits while we were away for the weekend. She sends a "Rover card" with each visit that includes details of her visit and picture of each cat, if possible. We had her come in twice a day and was worth it. Do not trust your pets' life to a neighbor. Hope is a true professional and you will return to a clean house, well cared for and healthy animals. We will for sure book Hope again.”
“Claudia did such a great job with our pup! She sent videos and pictures that were so fun to receive during my work day. Her detailed explanation of her visit was much appreciated! Safe to say Nash was a happy pup and I am a happy owner knowing he was in such good care during her stay.”
“Briana has been amazing! She obviously loves and cares for our kitties and wants the best for them while we are away. We really appreciate how quickly she communicates and keeps us informed of everything.”
About: Hello! I think it's obvious that anyone who works for Rover is an animal lover but just in case, i'll reiterate: I love critters of all types and I understand the importance of having someone you trust to watch your fur baby. As a mama to an 8 year old pitty mix, 6 year old weiner dog and senior kitty cat,I want to know that whomever is taking care of them loves animals and is excited to be doing so and I want to extend that feeling to all of you. I can provide daily walks/runs with your dog(s) or take care of whatever their energy needs are. I work from home and can be there all the snuggles and potty breaks they need. Thank you for trusting me with the care of your fur baby! I work from home so can spend maximum time with your critters, whether that's house sitting at your place or watching them at mine. If house sitting, there would be times I would leave for various reasons but can default to whatever time frame your pet is used to social time and potty breaks. I am very attentive to critter behavior and value anything you have to tell me about how you keep your dog/cat safe, exercised, loved, and healthy. When I'm away I love getting pictures of my animals and check ins about how they are doing and would love to provide that for you if you'd likw.
“I could not have found a better care taker for my dogs! My dogs were so loved and cared for while I was away, and Jennifer is so kind & helpful. I’ll definitely use her any time I need someone to take care of any pet I own! The peace of mind she brought me while I was away is invaluable!”
“Maren is timely and went above and beyond helping with my mini lop bunny! I really appreciate her coming through during my first week postpartum as a new mom. I would highly recommend her! 🤗”
“Blake and Kayla took great care of our puppy, and we’d recommend them to anyone looking to book drop-in visits. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future!”
“McKenna is absolutely wonderful! She is highly responsive, communicative, and incredibly flexible with our schedule. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such capable and accommodating hands. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her services!”
“Miranda took excellent care of our cat. She engaged with her, made sure she was fed and taken care of. This is the first time my cat is not mad at me for being gone for any length of time. Amazing!”
“Alison was very patient and understanding with my crazy puppy. She is easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I look forward to having the piece of mind that my pup is in good hands on future drop ins or stays.”
About: I absolutely love animals of all kinds and own a sweet 19-year-old cat named Jet. I've owned and lived with pets throughout my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds many times throughout my life. I have experience administering medications and love to play with animals. I look forward to meeting your furry and feathered friends! I am a 37-year-old professional swing dance instructor, classical vocal coach, and piano teacher. I received my Bachelor's degree in Choral-Vocal Music Education from Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSULB. I studied Molecular Biology for 3 years before deciding to pursue teaching dance and music. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible to tend to pets' needs throughout the day. I have worked in a variety of settings, including restaurants, music halls, recording studios, summer camps, dance studios, tutoring, and babysitting. I enjoy classic movies, gardening, crossword puzzles, camping, and cooking. I rely on the client to set the ground rules for their own home and pets, and adhere to those guidelines. Every pet parent has a good feel for their pet’s needs and care, and I look forward to learning about each unique pet I get to care for.

Natalie is amazing I have two cats one is a Tuxedo who is very friendly. And a Calico cat who’s very shy and hides whenever I had someone watch her she got that way because we’ve moved several times. Natalie is a cat whisperer. She took such good care of Allie and Kit, but I was totally blown away. The Alley was letting her pet her and feed the princess her food definitely recommend Natalie and I will definitely have her take care of the kitties again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Monroe is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 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 10,228 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Monroe. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monroe. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
