About: I’ve grown up and been around dogs and pets my entire life. I have also done a year of Veterinary Technician Assisting school and have clinic experience with all types of pets! I currently have a part time job, but have some free time during the days I work as well as days off. I will be able to work around my schedule with you to make sure your pets get the care they deserve! I am very attentive to dogs needs and fully understand their behaviors. I have a fully fenced in backyard that has plenty of place space.
“Jessica was very courteous, timely, and just a beautiful person over all. My dog is a very good judge of character and he took to Jessica right away. So apparently she’s something very special.”
“Hannah is doing an outstanding job taking care of Stanley for me while im away.. She is very responsible, she gives prompt updates and gives my boy lots of loving when she's there! I highly recommended Hannah and will continue to use her.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, currently we have a 12 year old dog, a 5 year old dog, and a 1 year old kitten. I’m very comfortable with cats, they’re very sweet. I’ve been dog walking for the past few years and worked with dogs of all kinds. I’m a teacher so I’m off for the summer! I’m pretty much available any day! I’m just trying to get some hours in this summer to work on my savings. I can stay with your pet for as long as you need and I will be able to crate your dog if you would like!
“Alicia did a great job checking on my 2 kitties while away on vacation. She came to meet with us beforehand for a meet and greet to ensure she knew exactly how to care for the fur babies. Would recommend to anyone! 💯”
“First time using a sitter for our baby astro and Caitlin was fantastic! She provided top-notch care, ensuring our furry baby felt loved and comfortable. Excellent communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for animals made the experience worry-free. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but I do have to make trips outside of the house 2-6 hours. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.
“Malexy did a fantastic job watching our two cats for a week! She was extremely responsive and prompt which really made us feel comfortable while out of town. She went above and beyond with her attention to detail and kept us well informed. We will definitely book again!”
About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!
“Alexis was amazing!!! She took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation. They were well taken care of and Alexis was so loving and caring to my babies. One of my cats is always scared of new people and hides, Alexis got her to come out the first day! She has a gift with animals and is very reliable. Have to book with her, won’t regret it!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for the past 8 years and absolutely love having them around. I currently have a 9-month-old Goldendoodle who is very friendly, playful, and loves having other dogs around. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family over the years and have experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, hanging out around the house, or just lots of attention and belly rubs. For boarding, I’m comfortable hosting small to medium-sized dogs that get along well with other dogs, since my Goldendoodle will be home too. I’d also prefer to keep the number of dogs I watch at one time small so they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see what your pup is up to! I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day. I already spend a lot of my day taking care of my puppy, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out together, so having another pup join us fits naturally into my routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and time to relax. My home is puppy-proofed, with dog gates in place to keep everyone safe and prevent any escape attempts. I also have a good-sized, fully fenced yard where the dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time
“Hannah goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are all taken care of. Absolutely love booking with her and always feel certain our pups are in the best hands. She is awesome. Love the report cards and attention to detail. Thank you Hannah!!!”
About: I have taken care of animals from a young age, we have always had family pets from dogs to cats, lizards, fish, rescues etc. and my grandparents had farm animals like horses pigs, chickens and goats that I was around from a young age also. I have always cared for our family pets as well as neighbors, friends, and family throughout the years. I typically house sit when watching the animals also and can take care of things like collecting mail and packages, etc. I currently work part time form home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to care for animals. I also enjoy going outside so don't mind taking dogs on walks etc. I have a 1 acre fenced in backyard with lots of grass and trees for animals to play. I also have an outdoor enclosed fence about 8x10 that I can use to separate dogs if needed. And I have about a 5x8 fully enclosed outdoor catio as well. I have plenty of space inside the home to let animals rest as well as a garage if it is too hot during the day.
“Lauryn was absolutely amazing with our cats while we were on vacation! She followed every instruction perfectly, sent us regular photo updates, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was that she even won over our super shy girl, who usually hides from everyone. Seeing her come out for Lauryn and enjoy the attention meant so much to us. It’s obvious Lauryn truly loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her every time we travel. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rhome on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,468 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rhome. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rhome stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rhome. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
