“Sara is wonderful. Highly recommend. She stops in and makes sure Etta is ok and spends time with her. She allows us to feel comfortable while away knowing she’s there taking care of Etta.”
“Emily is *wonderful.* I needed someone to drop in on my two cats to feed them (and make sure they weren’t fighting, one is new and we’re still adjusting) and Emily was so consistent with when she came to feed them and very communicative about problems and questions she had during her visits. I highly recommend her ?”

About: I've always loved animals but didn't have the space to care for one of my own, until recently, so my interactions have mostly been through other's animals. In high school I was an animal science major and volunteered at doggy daycares. Then in college I studied basic canine care and training where I got experience in training different dogs. Now I have my own puppies, 2 2 year olds and a 1 year old, so more experience everyday! Currently in between employments and looking for something to keep me occupied that would benefit others as well. So available anytime that would be convenient for you! I have decent space for my pups and have my own precautions. I will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of your fur baby as if they're my own, so I assure you that I will follow any and all instructions given to me by you.
About: Raised with dogs, obsessed with dogs, and happiest around dogs. I'll give your pup the same love, care, and attention I'd give my own. 🐾❤️ I'm available on select weekdays for short walks or quick drop-in visits during the day. After 5 PM on weekdays, I'm available for longer walks and extended visits. My weekend schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs for your pup! I'm available to take your pup on a short stroll or a long adventure—whatever they prefer! I'm also happy to play fetch, provide plenty of attention, or simply keep them company. 🐾
“Elaina has watched my cats a few times now. She’s super reliable and communicative. My kitties seem to love her, and she takes great pics! I will continue to rebook as long as I’m in New York!”
“Trista was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends (and other critters). She was communicative, flexible, and punctual throughout the entire process. We will definitely be reaching out to her to book again.”
“l was at first very nervous about hiring a cat sitter for my two cats that I had not met before I was leaving for vacation. But Tyler came to my house the day I was leaving to meet me and my two cats. He was very friendly, paid close attention to the directions I was giving and seemed very interested in doing a good job for my guys. And he did. I was very pleased with the care he gave my pets and will hire him again that's for sure”

About: I have been taking care of animals since childhood and would often pet sit for family members, some of which were entire farms for a week at a time. Neighbors and family members have relied on me for daily care of their dogs and cats with care tasks including feeding, walking and sometimes bathing. I am currently in nursing school and I have a very flexible schedule during the week (except Mondays, Tuesdays) and on weekends. I currently have an almost 5 years old Australian cattle dog (very friendly w/ other dogs) and also live on a hobby farm. You will see my reviews are from Canada, where I lived for 6 years, but moved back home in the last couple of years and wanted to start my account up again :) I have a large property for walks and playtime without having to drive to a trail. I am also able to crate your dog if that is needed. I am available for frequent potty breaks (every 0-2 hours).
About: Experienced Dog mom. Dog is God spelled backwards. Which is probably why I love dogs more than I do people. It’s been this way since I was a kid. A dog love and bond is just different. I have a 3 year old daughter who love Dogs as much as I do. She wants to pet every dog she sees. Dogs must be friendly with children, or I cannot be of service. Self employed so I’m home most of time. Free to be a companion to a lovable fur friend. While pet parents work or go on vacation I have a back porch deck with yard space. I am also close to a park where we can go play and let out some energy

I want to make sure both of our spaces are respected, i like to keep places as nice as i left them so i try to take an hour to spot clean anywhere ive been or where your pet may have made a mess and leave it tidy. I do the same for my home, i clean after every visitor.

I am around all day and night to cater to your pet's needs! I will be around to let your pet out any time of day. I usually let my pup out about three times a day and the walks span from 0.5 miles to 2 miles.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rome on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 287 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rome. 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 Rome 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 Rome. On Rover:

- 100% 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.
