“Elissa was fantastic. She communicated well, and was flexible as my schedule changed. The dogs enjoyed her visits so much they didn't really even care when I got home. LOL. Will definitely use Elyssa again in the future!”
“We have hired Sarah several times to care for our dogs. She is wonderful. She knows a lot about animals, and she's wonderful about following all the care instructions we have. Our dogs love her company. We feel lucky to have found Sarah!”
About: My first set of experience is working at Petsmart. The first thing you learn when employed is pet safety. Understanding how to approach dogs, when they’re scared or when they’re happy. Since then, I have worked with many dogs just within my family. This includes 3 large dogs, 3 medium, and a cat that I helped care for as a kitten. I’ve also done a bit of dog training studying to understand dog communication even more. I’m always open to growing my experience. If I have something to learn, I will do so for the benefit of you and your pet. I’m currently doing Rover full time for the future. I still require 2-3 week notice ahead of time to make sure any current clients I have can fit into new schedules. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.
About: I have worked with animals my whole life. I absolutely adore animals, any animals! I use to work with my aunt at the clinic she works at helping her care, feed, water, clean and play with the animals that would board there. I also help her with the animals that she fosters. I do lots of research on animals and learn how to handle them and care for them. I am pretty acknowledged with animals. I know different types of breeds and their behaviors and the care they need. I would be an awesome candidate to care for your animals because I would love and treat them as my own and put their needs above mine, it would be a dream to care for any and all of your animals! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! I am available anytime to help you and your animals! I absolutely love caring for animals and it’s all I want to do! I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I live in an apartment that is fenced in and on the bottom floor so your pet will be very safe! I do home visits as well!
“My fur baby who is normally standoffish around all new people took to Brittany right away. Brittany is very patient with her and provides daily updates. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I have a deep love for animals and will ensure that your pets enjoy their stay!! 😁 It is an honor to serve you and to look after your pets. I am at home full time during the week so I am flexible to give the quality care and devotion that pets deserve. Feel free to ask about my schedule I have a nice fenced backyard and plenty of room indoors. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. There are parks close by as well.
“Jennifer did a great job watching over my three dogs and made sure to follow their special instructions with no problems. She was on time for each drop-in and helped me to have a stress-free time away.”
About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.
“Dorothy was kind, friendly, and so easy to work with! She made sure to keep me updated throughout the stay and sent me updates that gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. She was very attentive and caring, and I really appreciated how communicative she was. I would definitely recommend Dorothy and would be happy to have her watch my dog again!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 10+ years for family, friends, coworkers, and other referrals!! This is something I’ve enjoyed and decided to expand my services! I’ve taken care of healthy, elderly, disabled, and pets under recovery, all shapes and sizes!! Im self employed so I’m typically available to turn my full attention to pet sitting!! My time is very flexible and majority of the time I’m able to accommodate to your preferred schedule. My referrals — the ones you won’t find on the internet — speak for themselves! My clients trust me enough to have me stay full weekends overnight, knowing their pets are cared for and they can have complete peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I've had at least one dog growing up. I live in an apartment with my friend and her cat. The cat doesn’t mind other dogs, just minds her own business. I am a nurse that usually works 12 hour shifts. I am a nurse and work full time night shift. When I am at work my Fiancé is home to take care of the pets! My work days vary each week. We have a fenced yard. I prefer watching your dogs at my house, just to allow me to be home with my own dogs, but if needed can come to your house. Whatever works best for both of us!
About: I have loved and experienced dog sitting since I was in middle school. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and love their animals! I work part time for the oldest clock shop in Dallas. I can’t wait to love your fur baby as if you were there! I love to take my dog Lucy for a walks and give her treats. She can do a few tricks, but my favorite thing about her is that she cuddles with me when I sleep!
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks, hamsters, bunnies—you name it, I wanted it. 🐾 I currently have a 5-year-old Golden Retriever who is my best friend and is definitely spoiled rotten. She gets daily walks, swims, and plenty of love, so I know how important it is to keep an active pup happy and entertained. I’m very active myself and love spending time outdoors, so I genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks, adventures, and fresh air. I’d love to give your pup the same kind of care, attention, and affection I give my own! I work part-time as a hairstylist and typically spend a few hours at the salon Thursday–Saturday. Outside of those hours, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I also love being active and outdoors, so walks and getting outside with a pup fit naturally into my daily routine! I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home and with your pets. I will always treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.
About: I love all animals but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. They are joy to be around their positivity is contagious no matter what your day has been like. They are an intuitive soul and one that believe can be healing in alot of ways. I've had several dogs in my life time and lost some to age and to this day they are still with me. In many ways dogs are that thing that makes our lives so much better and carry memories that one never forgets. That's the thing about them, they become so much a part of you that you don't realize this until they are gone. They are our Friend, and in so many ways our Family. I am currently working from home so I your fur baby will be with me all day. Please bring something they can he comfy with like a pillow, favorite toy , blanket. I have a designated spot in my apartment and my community is fenced & safe, with its own pet area. I also have a beautiful park we can walk through across the street.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Poetry is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $21 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 3,506 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Poetry. 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 Poetry. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
