“We are so thankful to have had Sarah to drop in and take care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is very skittish and afraid around strangers. But Sarah was so patient with her, respected her boundaries, but was consistent with trying to earn her trust. By the end of the week she was petting and playing with her. Sarah stuck to our schedule, did everything we requested,and provided us great updates and pictures. I highly recommend!”
“For over 4 years, I have been lucky to have BriAna and Tyler do drop-in visits with my cat whenever I go out of town. They are ALWAYS responsive, ALWAYS on time, and they ALWAYS send pics and a comment on how my cat is doing. One thing I never have to worry about when I travel is whether my cat will be okay. She is in excellent, responsible, and caring hands with BriAna and Tyler. Thank you!!”
“Kim came over, spent a little time with my cats, gave one cat his medicine, fed/watered them, and left food out for the outside cats. Thanks for being someone I can trust to take care of my babies!!!”
“Mikayla is the best! We always know our dog is in good hands while we’re both at work. She takes him for long walks and always takes a ton of pictures for us to enjoy. Thanks so much Mikayla!”
“Khalil did an outstanding job of taking care of my dog keeping me informed of everything that was going on and he was always prompt and on time. He also provided pictures and videos and ensure that my house was locked up and secured when he left. I would recommend him to anyone outstanding job.”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Elphie! She dropped in each day right on schedule and made sure Elphie was fed, happy, and well cared for. We really appreciated the daily updates—complete with photos and little notes about how Elphie was doing. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Laura was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: Aside from experience taking care of Cats, and Dogs, I also am experienced in Lizard Care, and I am willing to watch over exotic pets! I am relatively always free. I do plan to start college hopefully soon. However if something comes up, I am always very communitive with clients. I unfortunately do not have the space at my own house to board pets, however as someone staying overnight, or just popping in to take care of things, I am always respective of rules and boundaries. Tell me what I can or can't do, and I will follow that to a T. Pet wise, ill feed, water, and even clean up after them if any accidents occur. and I will ensure to give them lots of love and care as if they were my own. My services also extend to exotic pets. I am more experienced in care of reptiles, specifically lizards, (I am a very avid reptile lover), however if I have any questions I am able to communicate and look to my employer for answers and instruction. Pricing for exotic pets will follow the same listing for dogs!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 6. I had an uncle that would rescue cats and dogs and I would help him. I’ve cared, bathe, fed, assisted dog labour and I’m equipped to take care of your babies! I currently art therapist remote work so I’ll have so much time to be at home and play, sleep and be present with your pets! I also have a 9 month old and he is obsessed with dogs ! We do have one dog and cat in the home. My house environment is very safe, we have a backyard and no pet escape fence. I will follow all instructions stating at my place or at your home ! Thank you ☺️
About: I have a lot of patience with our furry friends and recognize all of their own unique personalities and needs. Taking care of animals is very effortless & second nature to me. Maintenance such as dog walks, baths, nail trims, ear cleanings, keeping a clean litterbox, shots, vet visits, simply making time to play, all of these are very essential to a happy and healthy furry life, which I'm incredibly happy providing. Pet care is absolutely incorporated into my own self-care. My animals are my favorite part of my day, every day, and I don't think there would be much self-care on my end without them. I live down a dirt road with plenty of privacy and space to tread. Located in a wooded area far enough from the road so my dogs are off leash 99% of the time. Nearby access to water that we’ve have played in for years. Convenient fence as needed, with a shelter, kitty pools and plenty toys of course. I have plenty of space on my property to accommodate different needs at once. It's about catering to the animal's preference to me.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats and ferrets. I can come to your home to pet sit or it can be in my home too if needed. I work part time at a preschool. I can take care of a pet in the morning and in the afternoons any time after 2. I can go to the clients home to pet sit. Or it can be in my home. I have a large fenced back yard. Or I can go to your home if your pet is more comfortable there.
“Very happy with Camille's drop in on our kitties. She did everything we asked and more. Our cats felt comfortable enough to come greet her, which says a lot! Really great communication from her too. Will absolutely keep her in mind for future needs!”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our three dogs over the holidays. One is a puppy still working on his house training which can be a lot of extra work but she was amazing. I got pictures every day and I came home to a clean house and three happy dogs!”
About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I know firsthand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or just want someone to snuggle with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I’m also a mom to a little girl who absolutely LOVES animals! She’s growing up surrounded by furry friends and shares my love for all things fourlegged. Of course, any interactions with pets are always supervised, and I understand that not every animal is comfortable around little ones. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. You can absolutely expect pictures and updates while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom and full-time online college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Between schoolwork, spending time with my daughter, and caring for our own little zoo, animals are already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m home quite a bit throughout the week, which gives me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and extra attention. I love having a routine but also understand that every pet has their own schedule, and I’m happy to work with yours! Whether your fur baby needs some company during the day or a little extra TLC while you’re away, I’d love to help! I know every animal is different. Some want to be your shadow all day, and others need a little time to warm up. I’m happy to give them whatever space or attention they need. I’ll always make sure introductions are done carefully, especially with my daughter and our pets. I also know how nerve racking it can be leaving your animals with someone else. I’ll follow whatever routines or instructions you leave me, and I’m more than happy to send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing!
About: I’m a veterinary technician and have been working in the field since 2021. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable giving medications if needed. Taking care of pets is something I truly love to do, and I strive to provide genuine, dependable care to every pet I meet. As both a vet tech and trusted pet lover, your pet’s comfort and safety are important to me. I’m also flexible and happy to work with you on scheduling and dates that fit your needs. I work full-time as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. I have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, although my schedule can occasionally change due to hospital needs. I’m available to care for pets Monday through Thursday after work hours, and I’m flexible and willing to work with you on scheduling when needed. I will care for your beloved pet as if they were my own. Food and fresh water will always be provided, and water will be changed at every visit. I will clean up after your pet each time they go outside. Your pet will receive attentive, VIP-level care at all times.
About: I’ve had all animals, big and small. Mostly labs, doodles, and retrievers, but also bully’s, Great Danes, and yorkies. We have a huge fenced in backyard and 2 doodles with the middle name “zoomies”. Our family is looking forward to connecting with you, and an opportunity to love on your pups. Someone is usually always home so crate time is very minimal unless that’s the preference. Plenty of time and space to run and play if weather permits. Huge fenced in back yard for running and playing as well as 2 doodles and 2 children who adore dogs to keep them company while they are hanging with us.
About: I've been around dogs all my life. My grandparents were breeders for Scotties, Cocker Spaniels and Terriers. My personal pets have been Velvet a cooker spaniel, Tobby a shepherd/lab mix, Doobee a shepherd/collie mix and my current cohort is Harley a 50 lb mixed breed rescue from texas. I have completed over 18 months of weekly training with Harley culminating with AKC canine good citizen certificate. What i learned from that experience was the importance and significance of consistency. Additionally that I am trained to be as consistent as possible in providing the type of care that you prefer for your pet. I'm retired so I am usually available anytime and can do same day appointments. I'm usually up before 6am and keep late night hours also so please feel free to contact me anytime. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your pet if needed. I have one pet friendly dog at home if your pet likes company. I do not have any children living at my home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkton
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Vanessa! Her experience as a vet tech gave me so much peace of mind, especially caring for my Finnicky diabetic dog who needed extra patience with his insulin injections, encouragement, and motivation to eat. She was kind, compassionate, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She also handled my funny little dog who absolutely does NOT like the rain with so much patience and understanding! 😂 She took the time to work with both of their individual personalities and needs, and I could tell they were in very caring hands. Her communication, professionalism, and genuine love for my dogs meant so much to me. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were being cared for by someone with both the experience and heart to handle them. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Parkton is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 823 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Parkton. 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 Parkton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
