“Tracy was an excellent choice. He took great care of our kittens, took pictures, and was always available should we have any questions. We would happily work with Tracy in the future and would highly recommend him.”

About: I have an overflowing love for all fur babies, so caring for your pets will bring joy to my life and help you out at the same time! In college, I worked at a dog kennel and daycare and learned a lot about caring for different personalities of dog. Growing up, we had a German Shepard. I now have a 3 year old golden retreiver who i raised from a puppy and trained myself. She is very friendly and playful, gets along with every kind of dog and person. I also have 2 cats who are siblings and just great snuggles and so playful. I have a decent sized house and a half acre fenced yard, which is quiet and out of the city (though close to the small town with plenty of sidewalks for walks). I currently work from home on Wednesdays. Weekends are a but more unpredictable but when I am home is the only time I'll mark available. Mondays, tuesday, Thursdays, and fridays I work 8am-5pm. On my work days I am still happy to take overnight guests or stop for a walk or check in after work, during lunch, or before work. I have plenty of space for them to run around. I have a submissive and playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate them if you desire, and there is enough room in my house to separate them from my animals if needed.

About: I have been caring for stray animals daily, especially stray cats that I regularly feed and look after. Over time, I’ve developed strong bonds with them through patience, trust, and consistency, and I’ve learned to understand their individual personalities and needs. I also grew up with a lot of animals in my surrounding which is how I became to love them and care for them. I’m working 9-5 but I have plenty of free time outside of work! I’m available after 5 PM on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m completely flexible and available anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work around your schedule and give your pets the time and attention they deserve! 🐾 I provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I have been dog sitting for a little over 9 years and I haven’t met a dog that didn’t love me. I will love on and spoil your pup in it’s time with me! I am very active and love taking walks around our neighborhood and would love to do so with your dog! I have dogsat/housesat for many different families and they come back every year for their vacations because their dogs get treated like princes and princesses and it’s such better care then they would get at your normal vet or dog boarding facility. I do have a 5 year old golden retriever of my own that I typically have with me at all times but if that’s an issue we can discuss further! I’m currently an online student and working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your dog the care and attention they need! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I will always make sure to keep in mind your dogs safety as first priority when caring for them!

“Amara was wonderful with my dog for a drop in! We have a very excitable 80lb dog and she was so great with her! She was communicative, professional, and I loved all the updates and photos of my pup from her visit! We will absolutely be using Amara again 🐾”

About: I have owned and taken care of a lot of dogs in the past 10 years. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted that I take great care of their fur babies! I offer overnight care in your home as well as walking and drop-ins! I am a self employed hair stylist so I can pretty easily modify my schedule to accommodate you and your dogs personal needs! I work 4-5 days a week so I am looking for something to do in my free time. I always prefer to have a run-down on how you take care of your dog and understand your personal routine with the dog so that I can mimic that to the best of my ability.

“I can’t say enough good things about Farrah! She was absolutely incredible with my golden doodle, Goldie. Not only did she take her on a great walk and send the cutest updates, but she also went the extra mile—literally and figuratively. When I got home, I saw she had thoughtfully refreshed Goldie’s food and water bowls, and even spruced up her bed area so it was tidy and cozy. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Farrah did. Goldie was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored her. I felt 100% confident and grateful knowing she was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: Since getting my first car a few years back, I have been a reliable pet sitter for my family, watching and caring for dogs when they needed someone in the area. I work as a cart-boy at a golf course on the weekends and as an assistant esports coach for Bluffton Harrison Middle School on a few weekdays, so I have a couple completely free days to do some check ups for some pups. I can match the energy that small dogs can tend to have and play until they tire out, and I provide no shortage of pets, I mean, that’s a pretty easy part of the job.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family friends and neighbors since I was very young. I also have a lot experience with cats, as I own two myself! I graduated with a B.A. in environmental and marine science in 2023 and worked as a zookeeper for two years. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am available during mornings and evenings depending on the day I am not able to care for pets in my home. Both of my cats are quite old and do not do well when around other animals.

About: I treat ALL pets like family! 💗 Hi! I’m Ashli, & I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I’ve had experience caring for animals for many years. Growing up, I regularly watched my uncle’s three dogs whenever he traveled, which taught me the importance of providing loving, reliable care while pet parents are away. I also pet sit for my other uncle’s dog from time to time, as well as friends’ pets whenever they need a helping hand. I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Ginger & Honey, & two turtles, Bonzai & Lily. They truly are my babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, & well cared for. I know every pet has their own unique personality, & I’m happy to adapt to their routine & needs. I can’t wait to meet you & your fur babies! I am very flexible! I would be more than happy to help where needed & I can always make anything work as long as I have a little bit of notice. I am willing to sit during the weekends as well! I will care for your pets in anyway you need me to, I go above & beyond to meet their needs & keep them happy. I also would love to be a new best friend to your fur baby 💗 I’m also open to meet & greets!

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. Currently I have a small Havanese and a cat, but if it were up to me I would have a-lot more! I have previous experience watching my neighbors Basset hound and Rottweiler for weeks at a time while they were on vacation. This consisted of many walks a day, feeding the dogs, picking up poop out of the yard, and staying the night at their house. I also have pet sit for a family with two Yorkies, a Chihuahua and a bunny. One summer I nannied/ dog sat for a family with a toddler and golden doodle three times a week. One unique experience I have is caring for a blind and deaf elderly dog. I had to watch her while she went to the bathroom, carry her up the stairs, feed her separately from the other dogs, and pick her up when she fell. I believe that I can tackle any challenge and give your pets the best care they deserve! I am currently a student with classes in the mid morning. I could let pets out/ dog walk in the morning before class and I am free in the afternoons and able to stay overnight if needed. I would take into consideration my surroundings in a house before taking my eyes off the animal. I don’t plan on watching animals in my own home so I would trust that the owners provide a safe environment for their pets. I would have a meet and greet with the owner and pets prior to watching them to fully understand what the owner expects of me.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Poe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 356 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Poe. 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 Poe. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
