Karlee was the sweetest and most caring cat sitter! Every drop-in visit had a loving note and many photos, so I could really tell she cared for my cat. She was very responsive with communications as well. As a Rover cat sitter myself, I was quite impressed and felt better on my first trip away knowing that my cat was in good hands.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, daily walks, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a senior pet who needs extra attention, or a shy cat who prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to fit each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime to ensure pets stay happy and comfortable. I am organized, dependable, and flexible, making it easy for me to accommodate different routines and special care instructions. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening play sessions, or overnight care, I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they receive the attention they deserve. I strive to maintain a routine that closely matches what pets are used to at home, helping them feel secure and stress-free. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special preferences. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and work to maintain the pet's normal routine to reduce stress. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where they can thrive.

About: I have 2 years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior dogs with disabilities, I've seen it all. Growing up surrounded by a variety of dogs, from tiny Yorkies to gentle Great Danes, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs. Whether it's providing extra care for seniors or giving energetic pups their much-needed exercise, I’m passionate about keeping your furry friends happy and healthy! I’m available to care for your pets throughout the week! Whether you need a dog walk, check-in, or caring for your pet while away, I’m here to help! Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll make sure they’re well cared for during the times that work best for you. Please note: Starting June 1, 2025, my HOUSE SITTING rates will be updated. On Rover, the listed rate will show as $60 per night, which applies when you're away on vacation or need care over multiple days with daytime coverage. However, if you're booking longer daytime care without an overnight stay (for example, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM), the rate will be adjusted to $20 per hour for the time I’m actively caring for your pets. While the initial booking may still show as $60, I will manually adjust the rate on my end and send it to you for approval before confirming. This helps ensure you're only paying for the time you need, and your pets still receive high-quality, attentive care. Additionally, please note that for extended visits, I can provide early morning and late night drop ins, but will stay in my own home as I have my own fur babies to care for ☺️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in the familiar environment of your home, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed. I build trust through consistent, loving attention, treating each pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s following specific routines or providing a calm atmosphere, I make sure your furry friend feels safe and well cared for while you’re away.

We will definitely be using Pam again in the future!

About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I go beyond basic care by tailoring my services to your pet's unique needs. Whether it's training playful puppies, providing gentle care for senior pets, or ensuring your furry friend feels loved while you're away, I bring experience, patience, and a genuine passion for animals. My background includes administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and creating enriching activities to keep pets happy and healthy. Trust me to treat your pets like family! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as a full-time college student. While I dedicate my weekdays to classes, I’m available whenever I’m not in class, offering flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. On weekends and holidays, I’m available all day, making it easy to provide consistent, attentive care for your pets whenever you need it!" I provide personalized pet care tailored to the needs of each furry friend, whether in my home or my client’s.

In my client’s home, I ensure their pets stick to their routine, from feeding and walks to administering medications if needed. I pay close attention to details like maintaining cleanliness, monitoring behavior, and keeping pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care as if they were my own.

About: I always had dogs growing up and have been taking care of them since I was young. And it was my favorite thing to do. Im currently severing in the military and when I’m not working I would love to come and take care of your dogs and take them on walks. If any pet were to stay in my home I’d talk to the owner and assure of any medications or allergies they had to confirm. I’d make sure they are well groomed and nails are cut. If they have trouble walking we’d find another way to get them exercises.

About: I’ve been around dogs, my whole life, starting with dog sitting for neighbors as a kid to now raising and training my own energetic lab/German Shepherd mix.

I work a full-time 8 to 5 job in Mount Vernon but I’m available for evening walks or job and visits during the week. I also have lots of flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays, so weekend care and visits are no problem. When I care for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep the routine consistent and stress-free. I respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Grace was so great with our babies, we will definitely use her again! Our girl is a rescue and hesitant of strangers but Grace handled her so perfectly and made her feel comfortable enough to give her kisses, which never happens! It’s so nice to have found someone we can trust and who we know our babies love also!

About: I was raised around dogs my entire life and have always loved taking care of them and playing with them. I currently have 6 dogs and love everyone of them dearly and always spoil them while making sure they’re well behaved. I always help out with animals every day around the house whether it’s feeding, potting or walking my dogs to make sure they’re healthy and cared for. I care for them by making sure they are let out every time I get home and giving them time to use the bathroom or walking them so they can get their energy out.

About: I used to have three dogs since I was 10 years old and would help take care of them, as well as one other dog when I was 21 of my own that I would take care of, keep up with her appointments and made sure she was very loved. I usually get free around 3:30 to 4:30pm on weekdays, then I’m free for the rest of the day, I’m free fridays-Sunday all day When I use to have a dog of my own, I’d make sure to feed her and show her she was loved, would take her for her regular checkups.

About: I’ve been a licensed vet tech for the last 7 years, I graduated school in Colorado Springs, worked in general practice for six years, and currently work at N.O.A.H at a low income spay and neuter clinic, assisting surgery prep with shelter animals and public pets. I’ve dedicated my life to serving animals, and while I’m 4’11”, you may be surprised I can restrain a mastiff bigger than me. We have animals weighing anywhere from 4 pounds to 225 pounds in our shelter (Sarge is a mastiff up for adoption right now!) and I’m very familiar with caring for pets on a daily basis. I currently live in an apartment with two cats, therefore I cannot offer boarding services at this time. I hope to one day have a yard for a dog to run around in, but my cats have an extremely cushy existence.

Tyeler did a wonderful job taking care of my two kitties over a holiday weekend! She was very open, communicative, timely, and I came home to two very happy and clearly well taken care of animals. My house was also pristine when I returned, which was a great thing to come home to. I’d highly recommend Tyeler to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Mount Vernon on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,804 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 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.

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 Mount Vernon 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
