About: I’ve had at least 1 dog living with me and my family since I was born, so I grew up helping take care of all our dogs throughout the years. Our current dog is a Pomeranian that acts more human than dog sometimes. I’m a current student at SCAD so classes take up most of my time, but on weekends and nights I am way more available to help out. I love animals so much, whether they be small fluffy little puppies, old yet dignified cats, or even reptilians just vibing in their own little spaces, I never want any animals to be upset or get hurt, so I’ll do whatever I can to make sure your pet receives the best care I can offer.

About: I have always loved animals, which was apparent pretty early on in my childhood. I was interested in learning everything I could about all different types of animals, and how to care for them. That passion has only grown over the years! I started as a volunteer at the local animal shelter when I was young, then in college I raised my own fur baby Mia. I took her to puppy obedience classes where they taught us how to train our own dogs. After she was grown, I started volunteering again at Gateway Area Humane Society. There, I was involved with daily animal care, spay & neuter clinics, news interviews, and social events! Once I stopped volunteering, I started Kal’s Critter Care- my pet sitting business. I have done this for two years now, and have worked with multiple different types of animals! I’m currently doing my pet-sitting business full time! I have plenty of availability for daily walks and check ins for multiple different types of animals. I am mobile and pet sit where the critters are most comfortable, in their home! I offer overnight sitting, as well as daily check ins.

About: Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom of four and a proud dog mom to three wonderful pups. Our home is always full of love, play, and plenty of tail wags! With years of hands-on experience caring for both children and dogs, I’ve mastered the art of patience, nurturing, and staying on top of everyone’s needs—furry or not. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy nap sessions, or sticking to special routines and diets, I’m here to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment while you're away. Let me give your pet a home-away-from-home (or in your home) experience that’s filled with attention, affection, and fun! As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide full attention and care to your pet, while seamlessly fitting it into my daily routine. My schedule is built around the needs of my children and pets, allowing me to offer personalized care for your furry friend—whether that’s for walks, playtime, or just cuddles. With summer break upon us, my time becomes even more flexible. My kids are home and ready to help with extra pet care tasks, making it easy for me to accommodate more visits, longer walks, or additional time for special needs. Whether you need care during the day or overnight stays, I can ensure your pet is well taken care of, while balancing everything with the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they’re staying in my home or yours. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I take extra precautions to ensure your pet is always safe while outside. I supervise all outdoor play and walks closely to prevent any mishaps, creating a secure environment where your pet can enjoy the fresh air without worry. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, ensuring that areas are safe and comfortable for all pets, with a quiet, and peaceful atmosphere when needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow all your guidelines, routines, and instructions to maintain consistency. I respect your home and the trust you place in me, offering daily updates and being fully present to attend to your pet’s needs. I also make sure the environment is secure, keeping your pet safe from potential hazards. You can count on me to provide not just love and attention, but a trustworthy, safe, and reliable experience, so you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in my care.

I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines you provide. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else.

“This was our first booking with Jordan and it was great! She was prompt, professional, and kind. Our dog is slow to warm up to new people but Jordan was able to easily spend time with him and take him on a long walk with no problems. I highly recommend Jordan. In fact, we have two more services booked with her already!”

About: I grew up with three dogs, so taking care of pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s spending time with dogs, visiting cat cafés, or stopping by the humane society to hang out with the animals there. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. Have also house and plant sat for people over the years and always enjoyed helping out. I work full time, so I have a consistent routine and know how to manage my time well. I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and can work with pet owners to make sure their pets stay on their normal schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and fresh water. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have 7 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have three mini dachshunds of my own. I also regularly watch dogs for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work part-time, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’m usually available in the mornings, on certain weekdays, and can be flexible with walks, drop ins, feeding, and playtime depending on my work schedule. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and always make sure pets are in a clean and secure environment.

About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.

About: I have two years of dog sitting experience and also have worked at a doggy daycare! Where I experience all kinds of dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m gentle, patient and truly just love spending time with dogs! I treat every dog like my own and making sure they feel safe, and happy while you’re away! I attend school Monday through Thursday from 9:00–4:30. I’m available for pet care after school on those days and have full availability on weekends. In my home, I care for my two dogs and make sure they are well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and love. In a client’s home, I focus on helping the dog feel comfortable and safe by following their routine, providing meals on schedule, letting them out for bathroom breaks, and spending quality time with them through walks, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for!

About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile background interacting with and caring for a wide range of furry friends — from dogs, to cats, to bunnies, to birds! I also have my own 3 year old golden retriever, who has taught me the responsibilities that come with owning a pet, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and tons of affection of course! I promise that I can provide the utmost safe, playful, and friendly environment for your pet(s), and can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently a full time dental student, we works from 8-12 and 2-5. I am able to go home during lunch, and I am very close to the school, so it takes me 10 minutes max to get to and from the school! I’m available all weekends and week nights! I live with two other young girls, and we live on a safe culdesac with a completely fenced in backyard, and our yard backs up to a local park, which is perfect for games of fetch and quick walks! I am serious about leash safety, and always make sure other dogs are on leashes when interacting with my own dog.

About: We came across the Cavapoo breed as our loving Rottweiler was on his journey to his “better place”. We chose the Cavapoo breed as our furry rainbow puppy to help us all with the tough loss. Fast fwd 5 years, and WOW, still can’t believe the journey that was created for us. Dog breeding, training, boarding and grooming just the way I would want my pups taken care of…in a home. Our setup is ready for all stages of dogs and of course, personalities. This is a small family business and we make pet care fit seamlessly into our lives. We’re a party of 4 and all hands are always on deck. 4:00 am wake up call during the week and 6:00 am on weekends. Caring for pets in our home can consist of taking your pets normal routine that’s already established and following it. Help keep your animal on a schedule of food timing to crate or bedroom boarding. We live in a neighborhood with a 6 foot privacy fenced in back yard. A 3,000 gallon Koi pond surrounded by 800 square feet of deck. Nice plush outdoor furniture for the dogs to lounge next to the pond after a drink. We have also built a 200 square foot doggie palace on our property. Full electricity with heating/air and additional ceiling fan. Great for rainy days or dogs who are lone rangers and/or feisty.

About: I grew up on a farm around many different animals large and small so I know how to care for many different types! My very first job was working on a golden doodle breeding farm. My schedule is 8-4 in Lexington, Ky. I commute from Northern Ky so I am able to sit in both locations if needed. If your pet needs extra care I will be available 24 hours a day on the weekends. I care for my pets by giving them lots of love and attention. I am able to be flexible and pay attention to house rules. I really enjoy animals so pet sitting doesn’t feel like work!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mount Sterling on Rover is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $26 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 654 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Sterling. 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 Mount Sterling. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
