About: Hi, I’m Bailey! 🐾 I have previous pet sitting experience and absolutely love caring for dogs. I have two male Labs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with big dogs, but I’m happy to care for dogs of any size! My favorite service to offer is dog walking because I love staying active while helping your pup get the exercise and attention they need. I’m also happy to help with feeding, fresh water, brushing, baths, playtime, and general care. I mostly work from home, and when I do need to leave, I’m typically gone for no more than 3 hours. I love keeping dogs on their normal routines and continuing any training their owners are working on to help maintain consistency and good habits. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’ll treat your dogs like my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pups! I mostly work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. When I leave, I’m typically gone no longer than 3 hours. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow your instructions closely, keep their environment safe, and maintain any existing training habits. I treat your pets like my own!
About: Hi! I’m Gracie and i’m 18 years old. I’m a dependable and caring person who genuinely loves being around animals! I’ve had dogs and have been around dogs ever since I was little! I know every pet is different, and I’m happy to take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and always want them to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away! I’m happy to follow any instructions you leave for me, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make your pets feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re away! I do work 3 days a week from 10-4, but could easily make time for pet care before and after those times! 😊 I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they need! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow the owner’s instructions, keep their home clean and secure, and always pay close attention to their pets and surroundings!
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.
About: I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. My oldest dog has been with me since I was 17 so she's going on 13 years old. I have a 5 year old Great Dane and German Australian mix that I've had since puppies. I'm great at teaching puppies sit, lay down, and recalling. (I'm not a professional by no means) I raised an elder iguana for 6 years before she passed, I grew up with cats of all personalities, and rabbits. I'm not shy or jittery of reptiles, amphibians, spiders or other insects. I work a very flexible work from home job that allows me to step away any time that I need. I can guarantee that your pet will not be alone for more than 4 hours Mon to Fri and Saturday and Sunday I usually have open availability I'm calm, I know stress signals in dogs and cats, I will meet with your animals at their own pace. I will follow any care instructions you have left and I will clean up any found accidents (puppies and other non house broke animals or elderly) including if their crates need cleaned as long as the supplies are easily found without me needing to open cabinets (on a counter or table) I always avoid people and other animals on walks to minimize all risks. I'm very careful when opening door in case someone decides to run, and I don't mind getting during/slobbered on
About: My love for all animals has been something i have felt strongly about since a toddler. Bringing home every stray as a teen and now working towards opening my very own operation to help house strays and possibly run my own daycare or training service. Everyday i work with dogs. i have lots of experience with all kinds of things with dogs. bathing grooming nail trims , feeding and meds. i have a big fully fenced in backyard with a friendly dog for your pups to make best of friends with. they will enjoy outside time everyday

Kassidy is just the best! Constant communication with her during her visit times with my fur babies is so much appreciated. The babies were well taken care of and did awesome with her. I was not concerned at all knowing she was taking care of them in my absence. Definitely will request her again!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rome is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 183 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 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 Rome. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
