“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby! I never had any concerns while traveling and loved the check in photos. Very reliable and knowledgeable sitter!”

“Our cat Savannah can be moody, but we can always rely on Kara to make sure she is comfortable and taken care of when we are away. Thank you so much, Kara!”
“Olivia was great. She gave the pups all the lovings while I was away. She sent pics and was great at communicating. The pups loved her. Will definitely use again!”

About: Ready for tail wags and endless fun! Having raised my own pups for over a decade, I’ve experienced it all—from the wild puppy phases to the sweet senior years. I know exactly how to keep animals engaged, safe, and thoroughly entertained. Your dog will get all the playtime, attention, and expert care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because my schedule is highly flexible! Whether I am hanging out with cats or walking dogs, my open availability allows me to easily match your pet's established routine. I can accommodate early morning feedings, mid-day potty breaks, high-energy afternoon play, or late-night cuddles. Because I am so adaptable, I can quickly adjust to whatever timeline your pets need to stay happy, comfortable, and stress-free Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety and mimicking your pet's normal routine. In your home, I strictly follow your rules, keep litter boxes pristine, walk dogs on their usual routes, and secure your property. In my home, I provide a fully pet-proofed, welcoming environment where cats and dogs get dedicated attention, structured playtime, and their own safe spaces to rest comfortably.
“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“Ariel did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties for a long weekend!! I always have peace of mind knowing they will get all of their needs met even while I’m away. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Elisa was fabulous with our Mr. Henry and went above and beyond for what was asked of her. She did 2 drop-ins for us a day and always sent pictures and was always running on schedule. SHE'S HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I also have experience caring for and walking friends’ dogs and am excited to expand that experience by helping more local dog owners! I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a relaxed walk to a more active walk or run for dogs who need extra exercise. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure their time with me is safe, fun, and tailored to what they need. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’m a full-time student and also work part-time, but my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care! I have availability on different mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both your schedule and your dog’s routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific household rules. For walks and runs, I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety by keeping them securely leashed, paying attention to their surroundings, and adjusting the pace and distance based on their age, energy level, and needs. I’ll also provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Catherine was excellent in every way! Had scheduled with her a little over a week in advance and then had my older pet pass away right before the trip—she was incredibly helpful at helping me edit the number of pets scheduled for her to drop-in on via the Rover site and was very kind about my loss. Professional, sent lots of pics, and my slow-to-warm-up cat snuggled with her!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and some medical conditions. For the last 3 years, I have been the sitter of choice for my friends and family looking for pet care while out of town. I specialize in basic dog care and training, but also love taking care of cats as well! At home, I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I am currently a full time student at the University of Kentucky. You can expect early morning visits and afternoon visits if requested every day of the week. I can also offer midday visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In your home, I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I will ensure they are fed on time and given plenty of time for social interactions and potty breaks/walks. I will do everything I can to ensure your instructions are followed as best as possible.
“Tiffany was great! This was our first time using rover and everything went so smoothly! Tiffanys communication was great and we would love to utilize her in the future!”
“Gabriella is awesome! She came to our home to check on our dogs and took them for a nice walk while we were away for work today. I highly recommend Gabriella! We can’t wait to have her come again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with experience ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and hermit crabs. I’m comfortable caring for pets in all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and basic training reinforcement to senior dogs who may require extra attention, slower walks, medication support, or mobility assistance. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I understand that each animal has a different personality and routine, and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I am currently in grad school, so my daily schedule is a little wonky. My days usually start around 8 am and end at 4 pm. Besides that I am wide open to care for your pet and I will be able to stop by during breaks in my days! I am more than comfortable to crate animals if needed. I am attentive and caring, the same levels I would wish someone would give my own pet.
“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Anna is such a conscientious pet sitter. She is prompt, communicates well, and cares about my dog. Oliver threw up while she was visiting, and she reached out immediately and didn't leave until I could get home. I appreciate her knowledge of the potential issues and willingness to do what was best for him.
Dax was wonderful. Such a kind young man, friendly, knowledgeable about animals, and I will be booking him from now on. He sent me updates and pictures, just making me feel very secure leaving my fur babies (1 dog and 2 cats) in his hands. And I came home to happy pets. Very grateful for Dax.
Angelee always takes such great care of our cat, Nico. We really appreciate her extra attention to following detailed instructions perfectly and communication of updates to make us more relaxed while we are away. We have booked her many times and hope to again in the future!

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 Mount Vernon 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 with handling special pet needs in Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
