“Paige was AWESOME!! My first time using a pet sitter & it was WAY above my expectations. I looked forward to receiving Paige’s daily updates & photos of my cats. She was sooo conscientious and kind. Extremely reliable & detailed….. she wanted to be sure she followed my instructions to the letter. Excellent!!! I’ve already re-booked her for June! Thanks Paige….. great job with my fur-babies 🥰”
“Eva was fenomenal with our 2 cats, Chico and Bento, during our 4 days trip! She carefully took notes during our introduction meeting and during each visit she took the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful report with important details. She also sent us plenty of photos every day!”
“Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!”

I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.

The breezeway has sliding dooos that open to a large, fully fenced backyard. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows me to have a schedule that is flexible.

“Michael was an amazing cat sitter to our 3 indoor boys and took care of our 1 feral lady outside! He was there everyday we were gone at the boys “dinner time” without fail! I received adorable photos of the belly rubs and even my shy guy came out for treats! That’s a testament to the animal person Michael is! When we returned home from our vacation the house was exactly how we left it and the boys had plenty of food and water. Their boxes were clean and the area was tidy. We will absolutely be using Michael’s services again!”
“Jessica was fantastic! She gave our dog, Duke, so much love and attention! She was always on time and made everything regarding our pet’s care stress free when we were away. She’s very easy to work with and reliable. Highly recommend!”
“Tessa did an awesome job of keeping us informed while we were away during our trip and sending us lots if photos. Our pets seemed happy and loved on. House was in order when we returned and she went above and beyond doing somethings we didn't expect her to take care of such as taking out trash and scooping litter since it was a short trip.”
“This was our second time booking Taylor, and we will definitely use her again in the future! She is very responsible and follows all the instructions to the letter. We love her updates and pictures, too!”
About: I have personal experience with dogs/cats for 20 yrs., I’m also the neighbor that takes care of the family pet while on vacation or if their human is running late and they need a quick potty break/walk. I’m currently working part-time with no Wednesdays or weekends. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet, especially on your weekend getaways. I have a completely fenced in large backward and a baby gate to the kitchen in my home. Clients home should be safe for their pets and I will follow instruction on how the client wants me to care and play with their pet.
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!
About: My fiancé, Shandy, and I are extremely playful and caring people. We have had pets since a young age and know how to manage pets with social anxiety, rescued animals, animals with need of medication, etc. During our 2018 summer, my fiancé was interning at a Veterinarian clinic and her job was to feed, play, and inject/give animals their medication. If you need a pet sitter than let us know and if we’re available we will be able to give him/her the attention they need. My fiancé and I both work. Shandy works part-time so she will mostly be available but I work full-time 3-4 days a week so that’s why we work on this together. We will respect what is okay or not okay depending on each owner’s pets. For example, we can take them to dog parks if they get along with other dogs or if they don’t like being walked and only wee wee pad trained we will pick up after them.
About: I have a 5 year old Papillion at home, so I can do all the normal stuff like feeding and giving water, and playing as well as short walks. If you have a super cuddly dog, I’m always willing to lay with them for a long time as well as I have a clingy girl at home. I’m currently taking an online course, so I have plenty of ability throughout the week to check on your pets. I can’t do mornings though as I sleep later than most people. I always try my best to respect other peoples belongings and privacy so I won’t go anywhere or touch anything besides what I’m supposed to.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover with 5 years of pet sitting experience. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to a specific schedule, I’ll treat your pup like they’re part of my own family. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet. This allows me to give plenty of one-on-one attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love to ensure your dog feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your dog will be treated like family. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, pay close attention to their needs, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and exercise so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family, so you can expect plenty of love, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I wake up every morning at 6:00 AM, which allows me to provide early morning potty breaks, feedings, walks, or check-ins without rushing. Since I’m not currently working outside the home, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple visits, long walks, playtime, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love, care, and consistency they deserve while you’re away. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have a friendly, spayed female dog who gets along well with other dogs, and your pet will have plenty of opportunities for supervised play and companionship if they’re comfortable with other animals. My apartment community also has a large grassy area that’s perfect for walks, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding schedule, provide fresh water, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a safe, clean environment to help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free, fun, and loving as possible while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Reading
5/5 Stars — Absolute Peace of Mind! We hired Stephanie to take care of our dog Louie and cat Oliver while we traveled across the country to Utah for our daughter’s wedding. Leaving your pets behind for a big event can be stressful, but Stephanie gave us total peace of mind. She went above and beyond her duties—sending daily photo updates and regularly staying longer than the three drop-in visits we booked just to give Louie and Oliver extra love and attention. Knowing our pets were in such compassionate, reliable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our daughter’s special week. We are so grateful for Stephanie and cannot recommend her highly enough!
Ellen was wonderful caring for my ten-year-old cat Taffy through drop-in visits while I was away. Taffy is ordinarily fearful of strangers, but took a liking to Ellen immediately. Ellen is also a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using her again in my future times away from home.
I’ve had a great experience with Taylor as my pet sitter! She is reliable and always takes great care of my cats. She sends plenty of updates and pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Port Reading is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $43 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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
