“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”
“Thank you thank you! Thumper loves you and you were right about his ears. I hope you have a wonderful spring and I will definitely book you again when I need someone!”
“Laura is fantastic! We always feel completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. Her communication is excellent, and we know our pup is always well-looked after. Highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was so attentive and friendly. She was always on time and reported everything. She even had to work around a storm- which our dog gets severe anxiety about. Our dog was extremely well taken care of and loved. We will definitely use Taylor again!”
“Steven is a rockstar!! He is trustworthy and flexible. He also was so helpful in letting us know that our back up sump pump battery was beeping due to a power outage. We were quickly able to get someone over to assist. Had we not known this, the rain could have led to a flood in our basement. Steven is more than a dog sitter!! So very helpful and we’re grateful to have him help us when we need him! Book him NOW!! Don’t hesitate!! do it.”
“Kelly was honestly, heaven-sent for us today. She showed up enthusiastically, with the right amount of compassion and purpose that allowed Chelsea to trust her quickly. She was accommodating and happy to help in any way she could. I could not have asked for a better match!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. Administration medication, brushing, playing, walking and living on them. I haven't met a dog that doesn't like me. Im currently working part time so I can fit care in the afternoons. I also live alone so I'm available to stay over at your house and care for your fur baby. I live in an apartment so it's harder to keep your pet here over night. There is a dog park and I do several walks if they are here for a short time. If it is in your home I will walk, play, feed and even let them sleep with me if that's allowed!!!
About: I have many years of personal experience caring for cats, including senior cats and cats with chronic health conditions such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. My experience includes following detailed feeding and care routines, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring appetite and water intake, maintaining clean litter areas, and watching for changes in weight, energy, behavior and bathroom habits. I have also helped one of my own cats recover from a wound that required consistent cleaning, prescribed topical treatment and close monitoring. That experience reinforced the importance of patience, careful attention and following care instructions consistently, even when a cat is less than thrilled about the process! Caring for senior and special-needs cats has taught me to recognize subtle behavioral changes and respect each cat’s individual comfort level. Some cats welcome immediate affection, while others need time and space to build trust. I never force interaction, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully while adapting my approach to the pet’s personality. My schedule is currently flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits based on availability. I keep my service area intentionally small so I can arrive reliably, spend the full scheduled time with each pet and avoid overbooking. Before a first booking, I prefer to meet the pet and review feeding instructions, medication routines, emergency contacts, veterinarian information, entry procedures and any household safety concerns. I follow written care instructions carefully, I will never force interaction with a nervous pet. I'll confirm that doors and entry points are secured, and provide photos and detailed updates after each visit.
“Farnaz is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of my 3 cats while I was out of town. She was punctual and patient with my shy babies. She made sure Chasie took his medicine and was able to pet Gracie who others have had a hard time finding. She was tidy, cleaned up messes and brought in packages. Her communication and updates were perfect, putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets and we will be booking again soon.”

About: I've got 20 years of pet care experience, a cutie pie 65 pound mutt of my own, and would love to care for your fur baby. Whether you need someone to stay for the week, a quick drop in to play with your new puppy, or someone to walk, work on training, or offer some snuggles and enrichment time, I’m your girl. I’ve just stepped away from full time work and have a ton of flexibility in my days! Whether you need care during the typical workday, morning, or evening, I’m around! I'm more than happy to come to your home! I'm always aware of pets that might try to slip out the door, comfortable taking dogs of all sizes for a stroll, and do well building trust with skittish ones.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, snakes, hamsters, and fish. My dog experience includes Labrador Retrievers, Great Danes, and Boston Terriers, as well as fostering dogs. I also have experience caring for dogs with diabetes who require insulin injections and additional attention to their medical needs. As a Registered Nurse, I’m comfortable following care instructions, monitoring for changes, and providing attentive, reliable care. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and compassion as if they were my own! I am a night nurse. Days are wide open usually. Let me know what you need prior to booking. I can do most times of the day/ week. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stick to their normal routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions from their owner. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. As an RN, I’m attentive to details and comfortable following medication and care instructions, including insulin administration for diabetic dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I treat them like family and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

I have plenty of time on weekends I enjoy caring for pets and have yard that is big enough for them to play, run around and spend time doing different activities when need.
“Mya is fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet before her first drop in visit and was so sweet with my animals. She asked great questions, was tuned in to instructions, and I quickly felt like I could trust her with my pets!”
“Corrine was amazing! This was our first time away from the cats and having someone check in on them made us feel so much better. Corrine took care of litter boxes, feedings, and playtime. We could tell they were in good spirits and had been well taken care of upon our return!”
“Jules is great! My cat can be shy or indifferent with strangers but got along really well with Jules. Beyond that, Jules is a good communicator and dependable. I know my cat is in good hands with her!”

I had a great experience! Lauren took wonderful care of Griffin, and I really appreciated knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Communication was great, and I felt comfortable and at ease throughout our getaway. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I would definitely book with them again!
Krystal was everything we could have hoped for in a care giver for our cat Bailey. She sent pictures everyday and obviously made friends with Bailey while we were away. Bailey was very content and in great shape when we returned. We will definitely be asking her to be our pet sitter in the future.
Angelique, is a great pet sitter. I’ve booked her a few times to provide a drop in service on my pet. She makes sure my pet eats, potty, and gets a quick walk/playtime. She always sends pictures and my pet appears happy. Thank you for your help! I will continue to book Angelique !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Poindexters is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 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 2,553 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Poindexters. 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 Poindexters. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
