About: I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of pets for years. I currently work from home and make my own hours so I am available to feed, walk, play, etc with your pets whenever you need me. I have a fenced in yard and large dog crates on our patio that the dogs sleep in at night, we also have heater out there so the dogs don’t get cold.

About: I have had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of my furry friends since I was old enough to carry the cat or dog food. I currently have 2 dogs, and 7 cats. All of our babies have been adopted, found or left to me from family members. They all get along, and can often be found in a cuddle pile together. I would love to meet and hang out with your four legged friend! I am a teacher. My drop in hours during the week would be after 3pm. I am available am/pm during the weekends. When we have school breaks I am available am/pm weekdays and weekends. I am flexible with your pets needs. Just leave instructions and I can take care of the rest. I can medicate, walk, or take for pup cups!

About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was about 9 or 10. I have no problem with walking and cleaning up after animals. I've done it for years. I'm seeking to obtain a part-time job at a supermarket, so I'll be available throughout the week and sometimes on weekends to care for your animals. The dogs that I've had in the past normally had plenty of room in the yard to roam free. I also owned smaller dogs which were kept in the house which had to same opportunities as our bigger dogs.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and was responsible for their care in our home from the age of 8 on. I worked in a veterinary clinic for 1.5 years and have hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I can feed on whatever schedule you prefer and can also administer any routine medications for your pet. I’m currently a full-time Master’s student trying to finish my degree. I’m available most days and times and can make most things work with enough notice. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs, four cats, and thirty-eight chickens. We live in a quiet area with little noise or disturbance. I’m able to do drop-in care and scheduled walks as well.

About: I have cared for all sorts of animals growing up such as dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. We have a pet pot belly pig, Dumplin, who I've taught a few tricks 😊. I have trained a few dogs (puppy-adult) however I am not a certified/professional trainer; I just have a passion for connecting with dogs. If your pet needs someone to stop by to interact with, let out to potty, give medication, walk, brush, etc. then look no further. I will be happy to help! I currently work a full-time job, so as of right now I'm available on the weekends. I would be open to drop in after work if need be. (after 5pm) The type of care is dependent upon the species and/or breed. I will abide by the routine you and fur babies are used to. With a little extra play time of course 😋

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own senior dog whom I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Over the years, I’ve cared for several different breeds and temperaments, and I’m comfortable providing calm, reliable support tailored to each pet’s needs. Your furry family member will always be in gentle, attentive hands. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for my own senior dog every day. I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and check-ins, and I’m consistent with giving pets the attention and comfort they need. Throughout the week, I make time for play, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or offering extra cuddles, I’m flexible and dedicated to keeping pets happy and comfortable. When pets are in my home, I make sure they have a comfortable and safe space to relax, plenty of attention, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I keep a clean environment, follow their feeding and medication schedules, and make time for walks, play, and quiet moments. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I stick to the pet’s normal routine, keep their area tidy, and make sure they feel calm, cared for, and comfortable while their owner is away!

Scott & Emily were awesome pet sitters for our 3 huskies! We are road tripping and wanted to explore nearby attractions while our pups were cool and relaxed back at our AirBnB. The pups received great care and even got homemade treats! Thanks so much!

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m a proud dog owner myself and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and giving pets the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I work a consistent schedule and have a reliable routine, which helps me provide dependable care. I’m available for pet visits, walks, and check-ins while making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they are my own and take time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. Whether caring for pets in your home or providing visits, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Petal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Petal on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Petal. 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 Petal 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Petal choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Petal with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
