“Kay did a great job taking care of our (feline) boys. It can be hard going out of town and leaving your beloved pets behind. Having an animal-loving care giver taking care of their needs while we were gone was such a comfort, and allowed us to enjoy ourselves without worry. Kay was great with communication, providing both photos and updates. Thanks so much!”

About: Experienced dog and cat whisperer of 10+ years. Brand new to the DMV from Nashville and looking for new fur babies to call friends I've been trusted for walks, administering medicine, daycare pickups and more. My care for your pet comes with a little extra sparkle through playing, snuggling up, and sending magical moments via photo or video so you don't miss out on their loving while you're away! Because I have a career dependent on gigs and rehearsal times. My days are typically wide open. Unless I am required for a daytime rehearsal, most weekdays I can be available anywhere ranging from 6am-5pm (Weekends vary from time to time.) I ensure trust by establishing very clear lines of communication and asking lots of questions. I always want to be doubly sure of what I am being asked. I send text updates to let my clients know their pets are safe and secure or whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. Typically a key is left for me to easily access the owners home which allows me to keep it in a safe space without taking it with me and losing it. Sometimes when I do pick-ups and drop offs from daycare I make sure doors in the home are closed so dogs don't run through rooms they aren't supposed to be in. I make sure food and water bowls are cleaned and there are no potentially dangerous objects around by tidying up some if necessary.

“Haley is our go-to pet sitter, and she always does an amazing job! This time was no exception she came by to check on our cat, and as always, she was kind, professional, and communicative. She has checked in on our kitty once before now, and we trust her completely to take great care of our fur baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”

About: I grew up with a variety of animals and have raised several dogs from puppies. I’ve adopted difficult dogs that were set to be put down and worked with them to become amazing family members. Big dogs are my specialty. I work from home most of the week so I can make it out to walk your pups on my breaks or morning and evening. I can also pet sit in your home in the evenings and on weekends. My wife and I work as a team. She is a pet groomer and loves animals of all kinds. Walks, playing, feeding, giving them all them loves they could ask for. Need a bath or nail trim? We can also discuss things like that.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 9. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their cat while away for work. Friends have called on me to feed, walk and care for their dog on weekends. And I have worked professionally with dogs, cats and goats since 2017, having also been entrusted with bathing them and giving necessary medication. I'm currently working full time which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties in the evenings or weekends. I am free most weekdays after 6:30pm and am flexible on weekends. I care for my pets by having adequate food and water always available. I do crate dogs if needed, but follow the lead of the owner. I try to keep a clean space and give lots of love to all pets involved.

About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have three dogs of my own, a dachshund and two golden retrievers. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I currently work as a full time veterinary technician at general practice animal hospital where I am pursuing my degree in veterinary technology. I also have previous experience working in veterinary vaccination clinics, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with animal handling, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, following detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have pets of my own, including a large dog and three cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to provide every pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, both at home and through my work as a veterinary technician. I fit bookings around my work schedule and confirm availability beforehand so each pet gets the time and attention they need. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable with me. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and care, keep doors and gates secure, and respect your home. You can also expect updates and photos while you’re away!

About: I have taken care of many different breeds of dogs over the years. I love being outdoors, weather permitting of course haha. I have personal experience with special needs dogs. My previous Australian Shepard had a severe heart murmur and idiopathic epilepsy. He was on several medications, several times a day. I administered all medications as well. I currently have an Australian Shepard that loves new furry friends. I trained my first Aussie and currently train with my boy daily. You can trust that your fur baby will be in great hands the entire time! Video and photo updates will always be available 🧡 I work full time from home Monday-Thursday until 5:30pm and 4 hours on Fridays. I am typically free Friday afternoon through Sunday. If your fur baby stays with me he/she will have plenty of play time and lovins all day😊. My home offers a large fenced in back yard, a friendly aussie to play with, plenty of outside time(weather permitting) and of course lots of lovins! Your fur baby can be crated if that is preferred.

About: GET $20 DOLLARS OFF YOUR FIRST BOOKING WITH ME HERE ASHLEO89675, https://www.rover.com/sit/ashleo89675 COPY AND PASTE THIS CODE OR MESSAGE ME AND ASK ABOUT HOW TO USE MY CODE I’m a full-time engineering student with a passion for pets! Originally from Los Angeles, I moved here for my love of music. When I’m not caring for pets, I’m a food enthusiast, music lover, and movie binge-watcher who also enjoys the outdoors—whether it’s camping, light hiking, swimming, or roasting s’mores by the fire. I have specialized training in working with rescue pets, emotional needs, disabled and senior animals, diabetic care, and separation anxiety. Additionally, I’m skilled in adult dog and puppy training, as well as leash training. I also incorporate music therapy into my care routine to create a calming and stress-free environment, ensuring your pets feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Fortunately, my schedule is very flexible, as I’m not tied to a corporate 9-5 job, and my degree program is 40% online. This allows me to prioritize my pet-sitting business and adapt to the unique needs of each client and their pets. I take your flexibility into account when planning my stay; knowing YOUR flexibility on the demands of your pet and the needs of your home as a client and pet owner allows me to coordinate groceries, packing appropriately, and consider weather conditions and activities in your area during the booking dates. With 20 years of caregiving experience—including working as an In-Home Care Provider for the State of California and nannying for children—combined with my professional home and pet-sitting services since 2018, I bring a wealth of expertise to every booking. This work not only sustains me financially but also supports my academic focus as I work toward my engineering degree. As a full-time home and pet sitter, my other commitments include only non-paid internships, church, and school. I work remotely from my laptop, often doing film editing in post-production and mastering music during my stays. This setup allows me to spend quality time with your pets while ensuring they’re not left alone for long periods, (unless otherwise stated). I also incorporate music therapy into my care routine, creating a calming and stress-free environment for your furry companions. My rates for house sitting are charged by the night, not by the day, to make my services as affordable as possible while covering school expenses, gas, and living costs. If you require extended daytime care, like my 24/7 presence, homestead and farm sitting, or other specialized arrangements, I am happy to discuss and adjust rates accordingly to meet your needs. Open and transparent communication is key for me, to ensure I fully understand your expectations and provide the best care possible for your pets and home. I look forward to working with you and providing peace of mind while you’re away. Please feel free to check out my reviews to learn more about the care I provide!

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs of all sizes for most of my life. I have adopted many rescues and provided foster care for the country animal shelter. I provide care for all dogs (puppies-to-seniors, small or big, rescues, etc.), bearded drag dragons and I am very passionate about their comfort. I provide daily pictures and videos, and spontaneous video calls welcomed. *DROP INS: I do not visit homes, but I offer $5 an hour (4 hour minimum) for you to drop your pup by for a quick stay. Please reach out for more information! I am newly retired and have plenty of time to care for your doggie babies and bearded dragons. I'm available for boarding every day and can fit any schedule. I have a fenced yard, doggie door and 3 dogs of my own that love having daily or even overnight friends. I prefer not to crate unless that is your desire. Doggies go in and out at their will and do not have any restricted areas in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when we adopted a stray that was pregnant. Throughout Sweetie’s pregnancy, birthing, and weening, and our raising of her puppy Zorro, my mom taught me all about dogs, since her dad used to breed pugs and cavalier King Charles spaniels. Before Sweetie came to us, I had been wanting another dog, as our previous golden retriever, Jasmine, had been stolen. So, my mom bought me several books on all the different dog breeds, so I could educate myself on what to expect and what I wanted when we got our next dog. I learned so much throughout this time, and have only continued my education and experience with dogs. I love dogs so much that sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. Every dog I meet, no matter how old, will always be a puppy to me. I sometimes think that the closest we will ever get to experiencing a physical manifestation of the love of God, is the love dogs have for us. I’m self-employed and currently don’t have any pets, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your dog(s) routines! Noting and being aware of any specifications, such as meds, their usual routine/schedule, unique preferences, and any special requests the owner has made. Consistency is so important in maintaining mental health and stability for your pets!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Poplar Top

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Poplar Top is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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 615 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Poplar Top. 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 Poplar Top. 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.
