About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a 2 yr old mix from the shelter! I trained him myself and genuinely get so much enjoyment seeing him enriched and loving life. My work schedule is very flexible! I work from home so I’m able to move my work around whatever works best for your pup! I walk a ton! I’ve found so many great walking paths throughout town and I would love to take your pup on a walk with tons of new smells!

About: I have two dogs and one cat who run my life! I love all types of animals! I love to go on walks often. I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 16 years old. It ranged from neighbors, friends, and people who recommended me to others. And I am easy to get in touch with. I love taking pictures animals being cute and will send them often! I will be available on weekdays to care for your animals. I have two dogs of my own and base a lot of my time around them. I have a big yard to keep the dogs safe and playing! I love to take hikes around DuPont and walks on the greenway. We have two dogs and a cat so navigating multiple pets is second nature.

I needed a sitter last minute for Leo, my 75lb pitbull. I never had someone just come over to walk him, I always dropped Leo off at sitters place which always worked out well. I figured having a meet and greet prior would be beneficial for both. Nicole's ability and knowledge on handling large dogs was evident from the start. Nicole came twice to walk Leo when I was away. He's a handful to say the least: a leash puller, excitable, high energy, etc. Both visits Nicole sent me pics and details of there walks. In the end, they were a perfect match! Highly Recommend!

Kristen was great with my pups! Both of my dogs are rescues and one in particular can be very timid. I can always tell when she'll be okay with someone and she was great with Kristen from the start. Kristen showed up at the requested times, sent plenty of photos and updates and I wasn't worried about my dogs one bit while out of town. Thank you Kristen!

Maria did a great job with drop-in visits for my 2 cats. I appreciated that she communicated often with updates and that she was dependable. My social girl took right to her and my shy boy even came out to play on the last day.

Jennie was wonderful. She sent us pictures of Bunny each time she came and made sure she was well fed. When our water went out while we were gone due to a broken well pipe, she contacted us immediately and brought over water for my cat. I’d definitely recommend her and will call her again.

Cate immediately made us feel at ease and we knew our furr babies would be well taken care of. And, they were! She was amazing with communication and punctuality and our animals loved her. She is someone that you can trust with your beloved animals. It is a game changer for us in our ability to go away and be able to truly relax knowing someone who is responsible, and so kind and loving is with our furry kids. Highly recommend!

Monique was fantastic when she watched Stubbs and Atticus. She came by for a meet and greet before the sitting dates. She sent us updates and photos and the pups were in great spirits when we came home. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!

About: I absolutely love animals, and have had all kinds of pets my entire life. I’ve gained lots of experience with dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles and fish. I had my last dog, Raya for 8 years. I don’t think I’ll be able to get another pet for a long time, so for now I’m very happy taking care of yours as my own. Along with regular dog walking, I also offer overnight housesitting/ extended stays. I’d be happy to provide references from over the years upon request (: My schedule is very flexible, just give me a few days notice if you're looking for overnight care. I'm also available for dogs walks daily! I currently provide drop in, and overnight services in clients homes. And I am committed to not only making your dog feel safe and comfortable, but also providing a fun, enriching environment for them. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, ages and breeds.

About: I’ve had pets ever since I was really young and always wanted to get into the field of working with animals. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals from dogs to bunnies to guinea pigs and almost all of them have lived a very long life. I’m always excited to see any animal and work with them no matter what kind they are. I look forward to seeing every animal that comes my way and taking care of them as if they wear my own. I am currently working a part-time job, but I hope to transition to make this my part-time job. I am available and home every day of the week except Sunday (when I make this job my only job) and I’m home almost every hour and I will always make time for your pet. Well, the yard is on a hill and not fenced. I do have one dog three years old very friendly to keep any animal company. And if your dog needs to be in a crate. I can very much do that.

About: Caring for animals is something that runs in my family both my mother and my aunt are deeply involved in various rescues including but not limited to puppers, cats, even spiders of all shapes and sizes. We treat our fur babies like one of us and they are definitely part of the family. We will spend lots of time together walking through open fields and woods playing fetch if they are into those kinds of things I’m also ok with just sitting and sun bathing, we go fishing if the weather is nice. They will never have to worry about being alone or being forgotten or scared because I will be there any time they need. Lap dogs and cuddle buddies are always welcome !!

Lacie was so amazing during her drop-in visits with our cat! He requires twice-daily medication and she went above and beyond each visit to make sure he was well-cared for, happy, and healthy! We knew he was in great hands with Lacie, and her detailed entries and photographs at each check-in kept us up to date with how he was doing! I can’t say enough good things about Lacie and would definitely book her again!

Abagail was wonderful with our little Keller. He is pretty much blind and so is very careful when approached but he seems very comfortable with Abagail. She sends the cutest photos regularly and is very conscientious. She even brought in packages that were left at the door.

This is the second time Kristen has checked in on our fur babes, this time the dog too. All three are very happy and safe. Kristen asks great questions during the meet n greets and makes sure the animals are well taken care of according to any guidelines you share. She’s always sure to give them extra love too!

We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Michael’s care while we did a day trip out of town. The visits to our dog were right on time and we loved seeing the photos. Michael even brought our pet food delivery in from the front porch. We will definitely use Michael’s services again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Penrose

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Penrose on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,495 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Penrose. 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 Penrose 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 Penrose. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
