“Kristen was amazing. She was responsive, showed up on time and stayed for the amount of time booked, and did everything I asked of her. Most importantly she played and snuggled with my dogs and made me feel so much better about being away!! Additionally my flight back was delayed and she was flexible about making an extra visit to help me out with unexpected travel. If you need a sitter for your babies I highly recommend Kristen!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 19. I have experience giving medication with my own dogs and worked at a dog boarding place in the past. I promise to love on your dog like they are my own. I work full time Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm. I’m free most weekends. I’m able to come check on a dog before work and after work. I could possibly go on my lunch break around 1 pm if not too far from my house. Right now I’m not offering services in my house because I have an older dog with vision and health issues. She is more of a people loving dog! At the clients house I will make sure your dog gets plenty of affection and play time. I will try my best to keep them on their normal schedule with potty breaks and meal times. Please make sure to tell me all your dogs favorite things!

“Heather is fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure my pets’ care while I was away. Heather treated my pets as they were her own, stayed in close contact every visit with photos and updates. Heather asked about making a judgment call that would allow better comfort for my pets as well. I have not known another pet sitter who cared more for my pets. Next time I am away, Heather is my pet sitter again.”

About: I’m a pet owner in Decatur offering weekday dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. If your pet needs a potty break, a meal, or some company while you’re at work, I’d love to help. Along with caring for my own pet, I help care for horses at 2 local ranches. I enjoy the everyday work that comes with caring for animals, including feeding, cleanup, exercise, and attention. I take time to learn your pet’s routine and personality, follow your care instructions, and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. Morning visits: 7:30–10:30 a.m. Midday visits: Noon–4 p.m. Evening visits: 5–9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Overnight stays are accepted on a case-by-case basis. I take a limited number of bookings so I can give each pet consistent, attentive care. I prefer to care for pets in their home so routine and stress levels are kept consistent and low. I follow instructions closely, adjust to each pet’s needs, and prioritize safety. You can expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away.

About: I have been a pestsitter since 2018. From just a simple check-in to in-home sitting for 4 months, I've had a wide variety of experiences. I am available early morning, short afternoons, and evenings. I can provide morning and evening check-ins, in-home care, and walks. I work full-time, so any afternoon care would be during my hour break. With in-home care, I ensure I get as much information needed to properly care for the pet(s) and the home. I do my best to provide the pet(s) with nearly the same care they receive normally. I always make sure to eat my own food and clean the home before my departure.

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience in babysitting children. I also take care of Laya our family pet. I also have previous pet sitting experience in Wisconsin. Iny previous experience in Wisconsin, I have asked owners for written instructions on medications, favorite toys, play schedule, vet contacts as well as inquiring about safe ways to enter the house. I have given the quality care for pets including snuggles, walks, and fun games like fetch with their favorite toys and time at the dog park- if permitted by their parents. I am a substitute teacher. I frequently do half days, I'm doing mostly afternoons at my subbing jobs. I am available in the mornings and at 330-8pm for drop in visits and walks I will ask for written instructions on feeding, rules, any medications, and anything else I should know. I will send pictures and videos of what we are doing-walks, how much your pet has eaten, treats, playtime, and playtime.

About: Nothing is too good for our pets. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my pets. You can bet, I’ll do the same for yours! Dogs are my specialty but I love them all. I’m currently earning my Dog Obedience Certification from Animal Behavior College. I’m almost finished with school! I currently hold six certifications, including dog walking, pet first aid/CPR, and pet nutrition. My final certification will be in obedience. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs and what you’re comfortable with. Let them out mid-day, clean up litter boxes, or refill food and water bottles for animals in tanks and cages. I have a little experience with giving some types of medications as well. I’ll throw a ball for your dog, dangle a string for your cat, and help your fish get unstuck from behind the filter.

About: I know what it takes for a dog to have a wonderful time! Too many dogs spend their days stuck in a kennel, and it breaks my heart. I also believe that it helps a dog to stay in familiar surroundings. I offer in-home pet-sitting, not just for your convenience, but for the best interests of your dog. I’ve raised dogs all my life. Over time, my interests turned to breeding and showing. I presently have my own dogs, Stanley and Stella. 2 mini shar pei. These experiences have made me deeply aware of what a dog needs to be happy and healthy. Meet-and-greets are essential for obtaining all necessary information in advance of the sit and making sure everyone gets along well. You’re entrusting me with both your dog and your home, and I treat that responsibility with the utmost seriousness. I’ll be punctual, and will ask about everything I need to know during the sit. During the stay, I will maintain a daily diary of what your dog and I are up to, so that when you return, you’re assured we had a fantastic time. I have been showing and breeding for over 30 yrs. we had a thriving pet sitting/transport company for many years before retiring to Wisconsin. Don't trust your pets to just anyone. Trust in my experience!! I am able to administer meds either orally or via injection. I am safety conscious and care for your beloved pets! I provide drop in service and house sitting. Iprovide additional services like watering plants and bringing in mail at no additional charge. I pet sit for bogs, cats, birds and horse. Little friends also like gerbils or snakes !! Trust your pet care to an experienced pet sitter ! Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more information. I work full time with Rover. I have a busy schedule so let’s chat and see if I’m available during your time of need a pet sitting or housesitting. I only do care in your home. I do not do any boarding. My belief is your pet will be more comfortable in his own surroundings. This makes for a stress-free pet sitting

About: I’ve had pets in the home my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I have been the proud owner of a pit bull, pit bull mix, boxer, lab and a St Bernard. I currently have a German Shepherd, Zeus, that is my whole heart. My son and I with help of tons of videos and research have taught our boy 20+ commands/words. I run/walk/hike with him 3-4 times a week in snow/rain/cold/humidity. We actively play and train daily. I put every effort into giving my fur babies the best life possible. I mean, we chose them, they didn’t choose us. I have owned short and long haired cats. I am familiar with the daily grooming for long haired felines. I currently am a cat mom also to a short and long haired. I am very familiar with kitten and puppy care as well. I have a full time job Monday through Friday. I am available week days after 3:30 and all day on Saturday, Sunday and major holidays. I will follow the instructions given to me for drop ins. I certainly wouldn’t put your pet in harms way playing indoors/outdoors or on a walk.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior rescue dogs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every dog has different needs and routines. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship while you're away, I'll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and care I'd give my own. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and happy to follow any instructions you provide so your dog can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I have a fairly flexible schedule for work, so mornings and evenings most days I can work in pet care without much issue. Weekends I have mostly free as well. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any other care your pet is used to receiving. I know every pet has a different personality. Some love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything clean and secure. During each visit, I'll send updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mount Zion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Mount Zion on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 85 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Zion. 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 Zion 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.
