“Megan is amazing! She sends the best photos and is incredibly attentive. She takes wonderful care of our little Chloe anytime we are away! Would recommend to anyone, anytime!”

“Mylo did a super job dropping in and helping us out with our dogs over the holiday weekend. We were so grateful knowing that she was spending time with our dogs while we were away from our home. She gave them attention, pets, play time, fresh water, fed them, and even retrieved a beloved ball from underneath the deck and saved the day. She was communicative and kept us updated with messages and photos. We wouldn't hesitate to rebook with Mylo again.”

“I was so lucky to find Averi on here! She was wonderful and affectionate to our big girl Golden. Thanks for also watering the flowers while we were away! Sunny says thanks for all your care and walks.”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the person friends and family trust to care for their pets. I have a Havanese named Pita who is my little adventure buddy. He’s 6 years old, about 16 lbs, and is a very friendly little guy who loves being around other dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and won’t be left alone during the day. I live in a clean, tidy apartment right off the Centennial Trail, so we love getting outside for walks and fresh air. Whether your dog loves adventures, playtime, or just relaxing and cuddling, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved like they’re part of the family while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. Your pup will have plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Pita and I already enjoy daily walks on the Centennial Trail, relaxing at home, and getting outside whenever we can, so your dog will be included like part of our normal day. I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I live in a clean, tidy apartment and always make sure pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether they want to play, go for walks, cuddle, or just relax, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl, when my family rescued a pregnant dog, and we raised her puppies together. I have a lot of experience with cats, especially seniors who need extra love or medicine. While I enjoy dogs of all ages, I specialize in small to medium breeds. I’m a patient sitter who focuses on building trust. My husband often joins me on our pet-sitting adventures! He absolutely loves dogs, and they always have a blast playing with him. This means your pet gets double the love, attention, and playtime during our visits. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are our top priorities! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for midday walks and check-ins both on weekdays and weekends. I can easily stick to your pet’s usual routine to make sure they get plenty of attention and potty breaks while you’re away. I live right by the Centennial Trail, which is perfect for safe and scenic walks! I always keep dogs on a leash and stay very alert to our surroundings. Since I don't host pets at my place, I’m happy to come to your neighborhood for our adventures. I’ll also send you plenty of cute photo updates so you know exactly how much fun your furry friend is having!

About: I’ve worked & volunteer at shelters for about 5 years and have experience working with different types of dogs such as reactive, fearful, shy and friendly; as well of many different breeds. I was crossed trained as a veterinary assistant and have given medication before. I’ve earn my CCTBS (Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist) with the Animal Behavior Institute and I’m in my last quarter to compete my Advanced Canine Certification as well as my Feline Certification. I offer both Dog & Cat training services! I do have a full time job that is in the evening however this gives me ample time to provide quality care such as play time and long walks in the morning and checking on them late at night for one last potty break and ensuring everything is locked up so your pet is safe & sound. If you leave detailed instructions, I will follow them to a T. I can also provide photos frequently to show your pet having fun and relaxing at home safely. If a concern arises, I will immediately notify you no matter how small. You can always reach out about anything and everything, I love communicating and would want the same if someone was caring for my animals.
About: I have had dogs since I was 10 years old when I began showing them in agility through 4-H. I have had several foster dogs over the years including those with severe anxiety, one that only spoke Russian, and one that had to wear a diaper. I have two personal dogs who are wonderful adventure companions for my boys and I. I am a special education teacher. I am fully available during weekends, summer, and holidays. During work days I work from 8:00 - 4:00. I can run home for a potty break once during my scheduled work day as needed. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door system both to the heated garage and outside. I have a separate cat room built off of my garage. It has heat and air conditioning with a large window. This spring a catio will be a wonderful addition to the totally secure space. My home is warm and inviting. I have two lovely children (9 and 11) who adore animals as much as their mother!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over twenty years, and most of my clients have become repeat clients. In that time I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals: dogs, from a Yorkie to a husky/malamute mix, with greyhounds, a bluetick coonhound, Cavaliers, and a corgi along the way; cats; and even flocks of chickens and quail. If it has four legs or fewer, I’m excited to meet it. I’ve cared for puppies, anxious dogs, and seniors living with cancer, kidney failure, and cysts, including dogs who needed daily medications. When you leave, I’m the new variable in your pet’s world, so my goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. That means following your routines, even the silly ones you think nobody else would understand. I once danced around holding a dog because that’s what her mom does every day, and she expected the same from me. Some pets want play, some want snuggles. Most of the time you’ll find us curled up together while I read a book. I offer overnight house sits, including light tidying if you’d like, and drop-in visits with walks, potty breaks, and hang-out time. My schedule is flexible. I’ll drive up to about 20 miles for drop-ins and farther for longer house sits. If you're outside the drop-in radius and want me to house sit, send me a message to see if we can arrange something! Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt: they get love and attention, and you get peace of mind. Pet sitting is my main focus right now, so my schedule is built around the animals I’m caring for. That means I can offer flexible drop-in times, and I’m not dashing off to another job during an overnight stay. Your pet gets my full attention, not whatever’s left over. For your pet: Keeping routines consistent is the best way to reduce stress while you’re away, so I follow your pet’s schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime as closely as I can. I also stick to your house rules. If your dog isn’t allowed on the couch, they don’t get on the couch with me. That keeps your pet’s behavior on track while you’re gone, so you come home to the same pet you left. For your home: Having someone stay in your house is stressful enough, so I try to leave as little footprint as possible. I clean up after myself, wash and put away my dishes, and strip the bed I slept in before I leave. When you walk in the door, I want it to feel like you just ran to the store and came back. For drop-ins: Your pet gets the same routine-first care, with potty breaks, walks, and real hang-out time, not a rushed in-and-out. I will happily send photo updates of our time together so that you can see how they're doing while you're away if you like!
About: I LOVE animals! I’ve grown up with cats since I was 5 years old, and have had dogs for about 4 years now. I am very comfortable with both, and I love to build relationships and trust with the animals I care for. I have been watching animals including cats, dogs big and small, as well as horses for friends and family for about 3 years now alongside my current job. I have the most experience with cats, and German Shepherds and other big dogs. I am also experienced with senior cat and dog care, including giving medicine and physically assisting larger dogs when needed. I also love to spend time playing with animals, getting to know them and their personalities, and helping them to feel comfortable and safe! I currently work M-F at an elementary school and have online classes for graduate school on Monday and Tuesday evenings. I am available for house sitting though the week, but due to my work I am unable to give potty breaks from 8 am to 4 pm on weekdays. I am available most weekends and my calendar will be updated accordingly. I pride myself in building trust and relationships with the animals I care for. I love to engage with animals and play with them, as well as make sure that they are comfortable and feel safe with me in their environment. I am able to help them physically if needed, and administer medication to ensure their health and safety. I also love being around animals - I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you are gone!!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and know how much love and companionship they bring to a home. For the first time, our family currently doesn’t have any pets of our own, and we would love to share that love with yours! We have four animal-loving children, ages 4–12, who would be thrilled to welcome a furry guest. I’ll be responsible for your pet’s care and supervise interactions with the kids, making sure your pet has space to rest whenever needed. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions and familiar routines, respect your pet’s personality, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I have the flexibility to work from home, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. This allows me to plan my day around your pet’s routine, with plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs and keep their schedule as familiar as possible while you’re away! Your pet will be welcomed into a loving home! We currently have no pets of our own and have four animal-loving children, ages 4–12. I’ll supervise all interactions and make sure your pet has a quiet space to relax whenever they need a break. Our yard is not fenced, so I’ll always accompany your dog outside on a leash for potty breaks and outdoor time. We live on a residential street away from a main road, and I can work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide attention and follow your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and care, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I love furry friends and I’ll be more than happy to care for yours! I have cared for pets for all my life. I live close to work so I will be able to walk & let dogs out often. I’m available for boarding anytime! I work full time Monday through Friday- but I live close to work so I am able to check on pets during breaks and lunchtime. I have a front yard and a back yard, not fenced. Chris Garry Park is only two blocks away! I have a small clean apartment with plenty of space for a kennel and any necessities.
About: I have been around dogs since the day I was born, and have two dogs and a cat at home that I love dearly. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience for friends and family, having worked with animals from puppies to seniors. I am a full-time college student, and am able to care for pets randomly or routinely throughout the week/weekends. I am usually available midday to evenings, with some morning availability. I am open to caring for pets in client's home. I am available for daily check-ins, walks, and occasionally overnight stays if needed. I am happy to care for dogs and/or cats!
About: Hi! I'm Cat. I've taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. In high school, I started a successful neighborhood pet sitting business that had 15 clients within a few months. I've cared for dogs and cats of all different sizes and breeds and personality types. I have significant experience with aggressive dogs, shy cats, and giving pets medication. Pets quickly warm to me. I work full time (normally 7 or 8am to 330 or 430 pm) and can accommodate most schedules. I do have to occasionally go into the office but in office days are typically planned in advance. Please let me know when booking if your pet cannot be alone for the duration of a normal work day so I can make accommodations. My large boy, Dozer, is very friendly and can come over for play dates if your dog is also friendly. I have also owned dogs in the past that were other dog aggressive and am well versed in how to keep them (and other pets safe). Pet safety is my top priority!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Opportunity
Jessalyn did drop in visits for our puppy the very first week we had him due to our busy work schedules. She was an excellent communicator, professional, and went above and beyond for his care. She sent us pictures, videos, and let us know basic training she was working on with him. She really put our minds at ease leaving our new baby at home for the first time. Would highly recommend her!
Marbel is a trouble cat rescue who is still calming down. She wants to be sweet but can strike out. I provided cautions and said where she's doing well. Valerie did a great job taking care of her, litter box was clean and images provided for each visit. I'm very pleased.

Kimarie did an excellent job with Elle and took care of our home while we were gone. She is a great communicator and kept up the same routine our pet was used to, so it was like we were never gone. We have a difficult animal and it was noticeable how much more calm and happy our pet was when we came home, vs what happens when friends and family have pet-sit for us. Kimarie really cares, and goes above and beyond. We'll be asking her to pet-sit for us every time we're out of town now.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Opportunity is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 1,165 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Opportunity. 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 Opportunity. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
