“Eleanor did a great job with my two cats. She communicated well with me throughout the process. I told Eleanor she would probably never see my cats but she went the extra mile and found them. She even took pictures to show where they were. Thank you for doing a great job, Eleanor.”
“Tessa did such a great job taking care of my dog & cat! She sent lots of pictures so I could see them while I was out of town and was very communicative. Will definitely hire her again! Thanks, Tessa! 😊”
About: I am an 18 year old girl attending Berry College. I have been dog sitting/dog walking since I was about 12 years old. I have especially done a lot of dog and cat sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I am comfortable caring for animals big and small, as I interned at Gwinnett Animal clinic my four years in high school. During this internship, I not only shadowed doctors, but was also put in charge of walking, feeding, cleaning, bathing, you name it! A lot of people whose pets I have cared for would say I am very reliable and care greatly for every single animal. I currently have 4 dogs and had 3 cats all at one time back home. 2 dogs are on the larger side, and the other 2 a little smaller. All of which are mutts and mixes of sorts. My 3 cats preferred the outdoors, however they were all loved and beyond well cared for. I love my pets dearly, and know I would want a trustworthy person caring for them. My goal with starting business on this app is not only to make some more money for schooling, but also to assure that pets around me are getting the care that they need and owners are able to provide this care stress free. I would love to come love on your pets, including feeding and walking of course. I hope you will consider me and trust me with your animals! I am currently working part time (no more than 10 hours a week). I am also a freshman college student. My schedule varies depending on the day, my classes, and work schedule. For further information on that feel free to contact me at any time. Most weekends I am completely free and would love to come spend time with your pets. During weekdays, I am usually free after 5pm to walk dogs. For house sitting purposes, like I said, my availability just depends on the day and time. If reached out to at least a week in advance, I would absolutely love to accommodate and try my best to make things work! When house sitting, I can easily acclimate to your pets personal needs and will do whatever it takes to make them happy and stress free! Unfortunately, I live in a dorm on my college campus, therefore I cannot board animals. But I am happy to come to you and bring the care your pet needs!

“Destiny was wonderful with Lotus. She was prompt, communicative, and clearly attentive to his needs. She even stayed a little longer to give him extra time to go potty, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable having her in my home and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“We hired Ali to take care of our four legged son, our standard Poodle Leo. She responded promptly when we reached out to her. The minute she met Leo, he fell in love with her. She has a kind and tender demeanor with dogs. Ali is very nice to talk and easy going. She is responsible and flexible, trying to accommodate the needs of her customers. Every day she came to our house, she provided us with a detailed report of Leo’s activities along with a cute photo. We appreciate that. Ali was always on time. We felt so at peace during our weekend get away knowing that Leo was being taken care by someone caring and responsible. Ali met all of our expectations. We will hire her again and we definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.”
“If there was an award to provide for the care that was provided, Cherie would be top winner! We would certainly book her again because of her timeliness, attention to detail and simply the care she gave our babies while away.”
“Rachel was wonderful! Even though it was only for one day, she really helped me out. Took great care of my pets and sent lots of photos and updates, which really helped ease my anxiety while I was away. I truly appreciated her care and communication and will definitely book with her again!”

About: Hello! :) *Please note; my base prices are a reflection of my personalized care to your pet! However I adjust them accordingly during our meet and greet! This is based on the size of your pet, specialized care needs such as anxiety and extended care, and more details I’d love to discuss with you, so please reach out! I truly look forward to bonding with your fur baby. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that leaving your furry friend with someone else requires trust, which is why I focus on providing reliable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates and communication for peace of mind. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, extra cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure your pet receives personalized care every step of the way. I also have no problems with commuting as I have my own car, so distance isn’t an issue for me! Right now I’m working freelance for myself so my schedule is open to care for your fur baby. I’m up for discussing a personalized regular walk or sit schedule as well! In your home I will emulate the care and schedule you have for your pet as closely as possible! I make sure they get plenty of outside and play time before bedtime with adequate potty breaks as well. In my home I live in a 3 story house with a big unfenced yard for your pup. So lots of room for your pet! I live in a dog friendly neighborhood as well.

Tessa was fantastic from start to finish. She was always on time, super communicative, and made it easy for me to relax while I was out of town. I especially appreciated how patient and attentive she was with my two older dogs. She clearly understands that senior pups need a little extra care and consideration. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, which is honestly the best endorsement there is. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter.
100/10 stars! Kyle was absolutely amazing for our crew! We booked with him last minute & around Christmas time! With 3 dogs, we were slightly worried if he'd be able to handle it, but he handled everything seamlessly & with grace! The dogs instantly were instantly comfortable around him too, and our cat, who is VERY shy, even came out of hiding too! Kyle went ABOVE & BEYOND what we asked & we couldn't have felt more comfortable! He is very knowledgeable & super trust worthy! We will not be using any other sitter ever again! Praying he keeps us! Haha 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rome is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $25 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 425 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rome. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rome. 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 .
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.
