“Brittany is always professional and punctual. Additionally, she is very reliable and respectful of our home. Also, our kitties love her! I absolutely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
“Katlin was amazing! She communicated with me for everything and I trusted her to come into my house and to take care of my dogs while we were away. We will be using her in the future if we need someone to watch them again.”
About: An absolute dog lover, that has owned a variety of breeds, from toy to giant breeds. They all have their own special needs! Excited to have the opportunity to help support your family. I am a high school teacher and coach, so I have time during breaks to get out and help families with their dogs. My goal is to create a somewhat routine with the families and dogs that I’m able to watch and help. I am a high school teacher and coach, so I have time during breaks to get out and help families with their dogs. My goal is to create a somewhat routine with the families and dogs that I’m able to watch and care for. My dogs are part of my family, I like to take my small dog for walk’s, she has a large back fenced in yard, that she enjoys chasing squirrels… She travels with me a lot of places, and even has a harness and backpack to go motorcycle riding!

About: I grew up on a working farm with working dogs and have had dogs my entire life. I currently love and manage a pack of 4 dogs in my home. 1 Great Pyrenees, 1 Pyrador, and 2 Komonees pups. They are my world! These are BIG girls. 60-90 pounds. They’re surprisingly agile so small dogs are ok! 100+ pound dogs are welcome. And every dog in between! We love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have hosted pups from 6-130 pounds. I’m experienced triaging in an emergency vet clinic, and can perform basic first aid, medication administration, post-op care, and more! In the past, I co-owned my own reptile and exotic LLC for 5 years, KC Cresties (dissolved due to divorce). So I’m comfortable and experienced caring for your scaly friends, sugar gliders, chinchillas, ferrets, prairie dogs, opossums, or whatever other cool friend(s) you have. Large snakes, monitors, and Iguanas are ok! My family successfully rehabbed 2 baby raccoons that lost their mom and returned them to the wild when it was time. The day they left and never came home was filled with joy and sadness that we were very fortunate to be a part of. We have 2 cats in the house who are friendly with both other cats and dogs. I keep a sturdy metal baby gate up for their space away from the dogs so they have a sanctuary. There’s very few animals I don’t have experience with, and I love them all. Big dogs and working dogs are no problem. Trouble with leash pulling? No problem. Got a hyper jumper? It’s ok, I’ve got a solid foundation. Puppies? No sweat, I have old laminate flooring and we walk every 2-3 hours. Lastly, you can count me as a former HR professional surrounding school aged children based organizations. I left HR to pursue a career with animals and am currently going doing online classes to earn my vet tech degree. Animals have always been my passion. Why choose me? It’s about the experience your beloved family member will have while you’re away. Lots of cuddles and snuggles. Scratchies behind the ears and belly rubs. Plenty of play time with other doggies. Special homemade treats. Daily photo updates. Did someone say treats? All my current classes are online so I’m able to accommodate most schedules for pick up and drop off. I have kids and a husband that help me out when needed. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and respect I treat my own. Pets are a big part of our lives and they are our family. Feeding time is approximately 8am and 6pm (unless otherwise requested). We add scrambled eggs to our morning feeding and homemade dog food to our dinner. Homemade food is AAFCO approved recipes. Every dog has their own food dish and 3 giant water bowls are available from 6am to 8pm. Water is picked up overnight for housebreaking purposes. Treat circles are 2-3 times per day. We work on basics. Sit, lay, paw, etc. Level 2 commands are practiced once per day for those who have mastered level 1. I love a good game of catch the treat! After commands, I always toss a few rounds of treats. I have a well stocked variety of treats, so your pups dietary preferences can be honored. Each dog is walked separately. Belle alerts us when it’s walk time. Every 2-3 hours. Weather permitting, our dogs like to sit and wait on the porch for their turn to walk. It’s a gated 10x20. Please let me know if your dog is an escape artist or a jumper so that I can take proper safety precautions. If your pup does decides they need an additional potty break, that’s no problem either. Our dogs and cats are all current on vaccinations and take heart-worm and flea preventive through our vet’s office. Records can be provided upon request. Cat sitting can be provided on the other half of the house divided by a sturdy metal baby gate. Cats will be provided with toys and separate meal dishes according to your feeding instructions. Litter will be changed daily. Small animals and Exotic care: for most exotics leaving the home is very stressful and recommended care is in your home. However there are exceptions to this rule. We can discuss your unique needs and what is most appropriate for your pets health and well being. Some animals in small habitats don’t mind staying somewhere new as long as they’re safe in their world. Transportable habitats are welcome.
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for and loving animals. I was farm raised so my love for animals stretches beyond just cats and dogs. I have had experience with all ages of animals from newborns to seniors in their last stages of life. In the last few years I’ve fostered many animals in hopes of giving them a second chance at life. My pets are my family and I’ll ensure your pets feel welcome and safe with me too! I work from home allowing me to be with the pets almost all the time. I am able to accommodate almost any food or potty schedule, helping pets feel less stressed and in a familiar routine. I have a large fenced yard and two very sweet dogs to keep your pets entertained. We also have a cat who sticks to herself but who also isn’t afraid of new animals. We have 3 children from age 8-16. I can accommodate most schedules including feedings, walking, potty breaks, medicines or any other special needs that your pet might have. Do not hesitate to ask if your pet has special diets, treatments or routines to see if we can make it work.
“Lauren was a fantastic help for us. At the last minute, she helped us with our anxious and high energy dog. She stopped by and met with our dog, listened carefully to all instructions, and followed through with each visit. Not too many people can handle our dog, but Lauren did a great job. She included pictures every night, as well as an update on how our dog was. I will be using Lauren again if we are away, and I recommend her to anyone else as well. Thanks Lauren!”
“Our two cats become a little anxious sometimes when we're away, but I could tell that they really enjoyed having Stephanie around to spend some time with them. Stephanie did a great job giving the cats food and water and making sure their litter box stayed clean. We appreciated the photos and updates too!”
“Yvette was AWESOME with my two cats. She was thorough and did great giving my senior cat his medication even when he was being stubborn and spent the remaining time playing with the kitten and wearing her out.”
“Katie was amazing! She took great care of my pup and sent me picture updates along the way! She was very responsive as well which I appreciate! I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area!!”
“Alex was so sweet and amazing with our dogs! We were able to book with her last minute and she was super flexible/accommodating. She sent me pictures and updates, and had great communication. We were even able to extend our booking with her which was super helpful. I would definitely book with her again for future dog sits!”
“Sandra did a wonderful job for us while we were out of town for the weekend. She showed up on time and did everything she was supposed to do without any issues. Would recommend.”
About: I have been pet sitting since before my children were born and they are now grown. I am a young retiree with lots of time, but I am also active enough to keep up with even the most energetic babies. Most pets do better in their own environment and routine. Advanced notice is required to prior to gather all the information necessary to ensure a smooth process. Spoiling your pet with all the attention they require is my top priority. With house sitting services, you have the added bonus of having your home looked after as well. When appropriate, I also offer boarding services in my home one client at a time. ***My dog will stay with me on all house sitting bookings*** I adjust my schedule to your meet your babies needs. Your babies come first, my schedule comes second. I am retired, so I spend the vast majority of the day with them. During the meet and greet, I gather all the information needed in order to keep their routine as close as possible to their current routine.

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 July 2026, there are 2,487 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Peculiar. 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 Peculiar 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 with handling special pet needs in Peculiar. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
