“She stopped by for a check in on my dogs while we were out of town. My dogs absolutely loved her, she was very responsive on needs that needed to happen for my dogs and even sent pictures of them! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dogs taken care of!”
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was young! I have my own, and love to help out friends, neighbors, and family in need! I work part time, hybrid locally. Very available through out week except on Tuesdays. I’m flexible and usually can adjust with enough communication ahead of time! My fur baby sleeps in bed with me or in his own crate as needed. Typically he comes to work with me when I go into my office as well.
“Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Sierra was so amazing with our pets!!! She was the first sitter we ever hired to watch our animals, and I’m so glad that she made our first experience on rover a good one. I was so worried about my cats getting out until I met her, but she was willing to do a meet and greet before hand and she sent me so many cute pictures of them during our time away! I’m so sad that she won’t be in my area anymore 😭 to whoever books her next, your babies are in good hands!!!”
“Randy was absolutely wonderful at taking care of our pets while we were on vacation (a dog and a cat). He was communicative and took many pictures during his drop ins. Our dog ended up peeing on the upstairs carpet multiple times while we were away and he took the initiative to clean it up for us. Randy also came out a week before we left to meet the animals so the dog/cat could get used to him being around for the week.”
About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks! since i've moved to care for my grandma and can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet and loves exploring local parks and trails. i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff heavy' stroll for seniors or 4 legged friends who love getting distracted! all sizes welcome: i absolutely love dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to extra large breeds. if you have a giant dog, you are in safe hands here! being a taller, sturdily built person gives me a natural physical advantage and a grounded presence :) i don't get easily knocked off balance or intimidated by heavy pullers, meaning your big dogs get the steady, confident, and secure handling they need! hot weather: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide low-stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!). i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in-home, whether it's playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! my growing services & training: i am now certified in dog training, and offer a train & walk bundle if you're interested!! :) my ultimate goal is to become a true one-stop shop for your dogs, so i am also currently working toward learning professional grooming to add to my services soon! i’m currently an active handler at a local dog daycare and boarding club, so my days are already filled with lots of professional pup care! because my hands on shifts keep me busy in the afternoons and on weekends, my personal rover availability varies a bit-but my weekday mornings and middays are completely dedicated to keeping your dog happy and exercised!!! i'm fully free for sweet morning walks and lunch breaks monday through friday, wrapping up by 1:30pm each day so i can head out to my kennel shifts 🦴 whether your pup needs a best friend for recurring daily walks while you're at work or just a reliable morning potty break, i'm super local and ready to love on them! 🐾 in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of august ive completed my initial dog training certification and continue learning to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)
About: I've had dogs off and on my entire life but it wasn't until we adopted our baby girl Coco that I really fell in love. We had 13.5 wonderful years with her, then after she passed we decided to foster dogs in her honor and have been doing this since Sept. 2020 with several local organizations. We have fostered 25 dogs and have sat 26 dogs to date, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with behavioral and medical special needs. Our pricing reflects the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is well cared for and part of our family during their stay with us. Or for in house sitting, we are mature, reliable and trustworthy and treat your home like our own. We look forward to hearing from you! My husband and I are retired so we are very flexible in our schedule and decided we want to do something meaningful and enjoyable in our retirement. We have a large 1.5 acre lot with a pond on property. It is very serene and peaceful here. Our yard is only partially fenced so we keep the dogs on leash when walking outside. We make frequent potty breaks and like to take dogs for walks in the woods behind our house. They dogs usually sleep on a bed on the floor in our bedroom but will be crated if we have to leave the house for their own safety.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jaina! She truly went above and beyond taking care of Noah and Mary while we were away. We received daily pictures and updates, which gave us a peace of mind. Communication was also quick and reassuring. We are extremely grateful! Highly recommend!”
“Ben did a stand-out job when it came to drop-in visits for our dog while we were out of town. He reviewed our request with such detail that he was able to spot a mistake I made with the booking & ultimately ensure that our dog got the best care under his watch. He offered to meet our pup before we left town & they hit it off right away! The picture updates Ben sent with each drop-in was proof that our dog was being treated well & was happy to see Ben each time he stopped by. We are so appreciative of Ben & the care he provided our dog while we were out of town.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.

About: Hi! I’m Jill and I have been a pet owner my entire life! I have had many puppies, dogs, cats and kittens myself so I definitely have a soft spot for our furry friends! Finding good pet care is just like finding a good babysitter you need someone you can trust and rely on! I hope to be that person for you! No matter if it’s a quick check-in or a walk, my total focus is making sure your pets are living their best life! I have been doing check-in and walks for over 10 years helping out coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors. Just because you might be busy or have a lot on your plate does not mean you should feel guilty for spending a little extra time away from your furry friends. I will use every minute with them to make sure they are comfortable, loved, healthy, safe and well-fed! When it comes to any special instructions, those are always a top priority, your wishes are my command! I run my own buisness and work only 5 minutes from my home! I am very flexible being on my own schedule! I don’t have children yet so my out of work schedule is very loose during the week days! When coming to your home to care for your pets all I ask is that some basic instructions of what you would like done is all that is required! I am well versed in pet care so most requests will not phase me! Dogs: I would love to take your pup for a walk or throw around their favorite toy in your yard if you have a fence or secured yard leash! Let me know how you would like their #2 disposed of for when they use the restroom! And of course, a treat or two for the big brave baby for being so good while their parents are away! Cats: feeding time/treat time is every kitties favorite! Whatever is needed will be executed with the addition of some pets and love! I am no stranger to a litter box so if we need a refresh, don’t hesitate to ask! All I ask, is that if your cat has a favorite toy to let me know what it is so we can have a little bit of playtime before our check-in time is over to keep them happy and enriched!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Novelty
Joel was a great sitter. Did a wonderful job with our cats. Sent pictures every day of one of the cats, which we love seeing. On top of keeping in contact with us before we left to get instructions and updates on our upcoming vacation, and while we were on vacation. We highly recommend Joel as a sitter. Salli and Andy
She stopped by for a check in on my dogs while we were out of town. My dogs absolutely loved her, she was very responsive on needs that needed to happen for my dogs and even sent pictures of them! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dogs taken care of!
We hired Gianna for a couple drop in visits with our 3 dogs. They have very different personalities, and some potential reactivity, but she had no issues whatsoever caring for the 3 boys! She was excellent at following our instructions, and we would highly recommend her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Novelty is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 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 2,302 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Novelty. 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 Novelty. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
