“I didn't have to worry about a thing with Lisa taking care of our cats. Lisa stopped by for drop in visits every day. She was on time, communicative and successfully got our one cat to take his meds. I would highly recommend Lisa for pet sitting!”
“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my bunny boy! We did a meet and greet a few days prior to my leaving date, and she was very excited and happy to watch my bunny boy! Both of us got along great. Hannah is very good with communicating to me anything about my bunny boy. Loved the pictures she took and the comments she left! Will be booking with Hannah in the future!”
About: With over two decades of experience in canine care, I've cultivated a deep understanding of dog handling and care that empowers me to make a positive impact. Starting as a 10-year-old caring for neighbor's dogs with twice-daily walks, I've consistently demonstrated reliability and dedication. Growing up with Golden Retrievers and now sharing my life with a standard size Goldendoodle named Penny, has not only strengthened my love for animals but also taught my children the value of compassion. My family, including my husband, two children, and I, along with Penny, are committed to providing your dog with constant companionship, attentive care, and a nurturing environment. Having trained dogs in basic commands and upheld the highest standards of pet care, I'm confident in my ability to unlock the full potential of your dog and provide exceptional care. Hi my name is Katie. As a full-time homemaker, my schedule allows for seamless integration of pet care responsibilities. Given my consistent presence at home, managing a routine that includes our current pets - a goldendoodle and a turtle - along with caring for our two children, is quite manageable. Consequently, incorporating additional pets would not significantly impact our existing schedule. I have a spacious yard of nearly an acre, which is not fenced. However, I am happy to walk your dog on a leash if required. My own goldendoodle and two children will ensure your dog has a fun time, and we have a variety of toys available. Additionally, if your dog requires solitude, we can provide a quiet space. During summertime we will have doggy pool available for your pup to cool off in.
“Very happy with my service! Katie was quick to respond to any questions that I had. I received daily check in notifications and pictures of my kitties and house that put me at ease while I was away overseas. Thank you for the great, consistent service! I would gladly recommend Katie and will call upon her again. Thank you!”
“Jill M. is the Greatest Pet Sitter! Jill has taken care of my 2 cats on a number of occasions. She spends time and plays with them, and sends me photos of the visit. Jill cleans up the mess on the floor that one of the cats usually leaves, without complaint. I LOVE this company! I'll keep coming back, Jill!”
About: I have been around pets all of my life, dogs and cats alike. I have also had my own pets that I’ve taken care of. I have 3 years of experience privately sitting for friends and acquaintances. I strive to follow the pets routine and respect all boundaries your pat may have. I am available after before 8 am and after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends I am available all day. I do not board in my own home as. I have cats who like their space. When I am taking care of pets I always make sure they have a clean environment including food and water bowls. I speak softly and kindly to pet and show them the attention they need or give them space when they need it due to nerves.
About: Loving Care for Your Dog, Peace of Mind for You! 🐾 I've loved dogs of all ages my entire life and have had the joy of caring for many of my own, as well as dogs belonging to family, friends, and acquaintances. I believe dogs are happiest when they can stay in their familiar surroundings and maintain the routines they know and love. My goal is to make your time away as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I'm attentive to the little details that matter! I carefully follow your instructions, whether that means maintaining specific feeding schedules, respecting dietary restrictions, giving supplements as directed, or simply making sure fresh water and clean bowls are always available. As a former dog owner, I understand that our pets are family. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for them with the same love, patience, and attention you would. From companionship and playtime to feeding and maintaining familiar routines, I'll treat your dog with the care and respect they deserve. Enjoy your time away knowing your beloved companion is in caring, dependable hands! I have the ability to arrange much of my workday around my commitments. This allows me to accommodate daytime drop-in visits as well as overnight stays when my schedule permits. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I make it a priority to coordinate visits around their established feeding, potty, and exercise routines. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can give your dog the attention they deserve before accepting a booking. Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities! I believe pets feel most secure in their own familiar surroundings, and I work hard to maintain the routines and environment they're accustomed to. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, supplements, dietary restrictions, walks, and any special needs. I'm attentive to details such as securely closing doors and gates, keeping fresh water available, and making sure your dog is comfortable and safe. I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted inside someone's home. I'll respect your privacy, care for your property, and leave your home clean and orderly. I also welcome detailed instructions and am happy to provide photos and updates throughout your time away, so you can feel confident that both your beloved dog and your home are in caring, responsible hands.
“Elizabeth was kind, communicative, and most importantly treated our Louie so well! It looks like they had a lot of fun together from the pictures she provided. We would absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Shelley did a fantastic job caring for our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She took great notes and communicated the entire time we were gone as well as sent pictures. Most definitely will have her care for our pups again!”
“Martina was such a caring and nurturing being. She respected my house hold and my belongs, but most importantly she took well care of my pet. Tank is a lover and she def treated him with plenty of it. She followed directions, texted and called when she had questions, and locked up once she departed. I would recommend anyone else to get her to watch or drop in on your pet! Thank you again Martina??”
“Jason was awesome! He made sure that Tank got everything he needed, yet Jason was patient with me during my bereavement at the funeral I attended. First time was a success and I wish nothing for the best for the next client in working with Jason because a he’s sweet,caring,and phenomenal??”
“Siba was able to do last minute pet sitting and absolutely nailed it with my cats. She was able to get my shy boys to engage in a lot more play than normal and had them cuddling with her from day one. Will definitely be booking with her again for my boys!!!”
About: I have personally owned a dog since I was at least 11, sometimes multiple dogs at a time. While I have only ever personally owned large dogs like Great Danes and German Shepherds, I have taken care of neighbors and family members dogs as small as chihuahuas. So either big or small, the size of the furry friend does not matter to me. I have fed, walked, bathed, and just generally taken care of more dogs in my life than I could keep track of. Plenty of friends and family have relied on me for their dog caring needs while they have been at work or out of town. I am currently working full time, in customer service, but I have a background and previous job experience in law enforcement. So if it’s a safe and reliable person you’re looking for then I’m the perfect fit. I’m available all days of the week before or after work to take care of your pets! My schedule changes weekly so the hours will slightly very. While my current place of residence isn’t the most extravagant for an animal ( I am a broke, apartment-living, college student after all), I love making any furry friends just as comfortable in their own home as if they had known me forever. I try to make it so that anything your pet is used to, does not change simply because I am there.
About: I have been a registered Vet Tech for 7 years! I enjoy taking care of animals at work and in my free time! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior, training and medical management. I am punctual, organized and very detail oriented. I have experience handling all variety sizes of animals with all types of different health issues. I am trustworthy and my medical background has allowed me to give top notch service. I currently work as a Relief Vet Tech and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to make time for your fur baby around my work schedule. I am open to any type of care needed. I mainly will go to a clients home to take care of their pet, since they will feel most comfortable there.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rockvale is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 2,960 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rockvale. 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 .
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
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.
