About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats and have years of experience with animals. I currently have cats of my own and understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m flexible and open to requests that fit within my schedule! My main focus is Rover and providing the best care possible for your pets. I’m happy to work with your needs and find a schedule that works well for both you and your pets. I’m not able to have dogs stay in my home because I have cats. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and in their familiar environment. If your dog just needs a walk, some exercise, or time outside, I’d also be happy to take them to a local park or on a hike! 🐶🐾💕
“Vanessa was amazing. She came to our house as agreed and fed, watered and changed the litter for the little man. Importantly, she spent time with him and he (3 year old kitty) loved her. She was punctual and absolutely wonderful. She is our go to person!”

“Diana was so great with my senior husky. I had a short notice request to drop in and check on my husky while I was going to out for the day. It was a great comfort knowing Cali was in caring and experienced hands. Diana also sent great updates and I’d highly recommend her to care for anyone’s fur babies.”

“Carola is amazing! She is incredibly thorough and always makes sure Bubba’s kibble and water bowls are full before she leaves. Bubba has separation anxiety, and she was so patient and gentle with him the entire time. I really appreciated the detailed updates she sent after every visit — they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you, Carola! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting & providing services for over 10 years now! For 5+ years I’ve dog sat Gracie the pit bull (see photos) as her father is always traveling for work for extended periods of time prior to coming back to this platform. I would dog sit on multiple occasions for weeks or months at a time, therefore I'm comfortable working extended periods of time with multiple animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own so I understand on a personal note how sentimental they mean to their owners! I pride myself in my patience & professionalism. I carry myself with a lot of compassion & empathy however, which is why I wanted to begin working & applying more of my time with animals again! Complete availability Monday through Friday, I’m open between 7:30am-10:30pm for any doggie daycare needs, dog walking or drop ins! Very easy going & willing to do weekends for repeated clients! ❤️ I currently have a huge fenced backyard & will always make sure they’re monitored. I love to be present with every animal I watch so I always ensure the doggies are safe while they’re playing or resting. I’ll never leave them unattended!

“Isabelle is not our usual cat sitter, but she was excellent checking in on our cat during the holidays! She went above and beyond to check on our cat before tenting to a personal matter which we really appreciated because we were out of town. We will definitely book her again to check in on our cat.”

About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 10 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 10 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I leave the house at around 7:30 a.m most days and get home around 3-4 p.m. My husband works full time but has about 2 days off each week so those days he’d be home all day. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.

Susie was great. She did drop-ins for my dog, Peanut, and always made sure to send pictures and video updates, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. She also followed all the instructions I gave her for Peanut. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need a sitter for Peanut.
Diana was so great with my senior husky. I had a short notice request to drop in and check on my husky while I was going to out for the day. It was a great comfort knowing Cali was in caring and experienced hands. Diana also sent great updates and I’d highly recommend her to care for anyone’s fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rector is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 303 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rector. 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 Rector. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
