Today was Nikki's 2nd visit with our king shepherd lucian. He absolutely loves Nikki and how she is with him. She's caring and loving and playful. He has lots of energy and loves playing and for her to teach him things. I look forward to her future visits with him. I'm very proud that we requested her to come and interact with him.

About: I raised my dog Rocky from when he was a puppy, so I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages. I’ve pet sit many times before learning about Rover. Every pet is different, and I’m prepared to do my best to meet your pet’s individual needs. I believe a routine is incredibly beneficial to pet care, which is why Rocky is part of my routine. If your pet is staying with me they will be feed and walked first thing in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day for pets with more frequent needs. Then second feeding and walk at approximately 6:30 pm. If I’m sitting at your place, if your pet has its own routine we will follow it, if not I will adopt a routine based on the environment. Previously, my house was a 3 dog 3 cat house. After some relationship changes, it’s just me and Rocky. Rocky is completely submissive, although he’s a Goldmation he very much embodies golden retriever energy, and gets along with pets of all shapes and sizes (like I said, 3 cats) When sitting at your house you can be sure that both your home and pets will be cared for. Cleaning is one of my favorite activities, so you might find your house is even a bit more tidy than you left it. And Rocky is very low maintenance and stays home when I pet sit, meaning that if you want me to spend as much time at your place as possible, I can do that.

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for a few months, I’ve had a few pets myself and currently have a six year old beagle/basset-hound named Cupcake. She’s so sweet and loves belly rubs! I love all animals but I have a soft spot for dogs. I love playing with them and walking with them. They always make me laugh with their different personalities. If there are any questions or concerns please let me know and I’d be happy to help! I just got my basics from college and this is my only responsibility right now! ☺️ I always make sure the pet has everything they need such as food, water, medicine, toys, and blankets. If there are any instructions I’ll be sure to check everything off!

About: Experience in caring for pets and farm animals. Breed, size, age, temperament is irrelevant to me. I can care for all types. (Dogs cats horses birds amphibians reptiles farm animals) I work part time for a local business and teach horses and riders in between. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate your pet needs. I am experienced and can care for your pet as needed. Whether it be taking it slow and loving on the older ones or plying tug of war or tag with the energetic ones.

About: I grew up with a Great Dane and now care for two smaller babies. I love all animals and I’m sure I’ll love yours ☺️ I had exotic animals when I was a teen. My little zoo had rats, ferrets, birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do some gig work but I’m free otherwise and would love to meet your animals! If needed I can set some time aside for your animals if they need a quick potty break I am naturally shy and quiet, but just let me know what your animal’s needs are beforehand to make them more comfortable. (like I know some dogs rely on calm, quiet environments and others may like loud and energetic environments.

Tiffany did an excellent job and my husband & I would definitely use her again. She truly cared about our outdoor cat and took the time to find her and connect with her whenever possible. She was also very reliable, kind and polite. My family & I could just relax on our vacation knowing our cat was in good hands.

About: Pet care experience Last minute booking is no problem. I love all animals and they love me. I am retired so I can hang out with your pets 24/7. I treat each precious soul like they are a part of my family. Giving your loved ones a massage is the ultimate relaxer when you are away. I've owned dogs and cats my entire life. It only takes one lick to win my heart.Of course, animals are fun and rewarding. The love you give them is surpassed by the love you receive. There is no job too small or too big. I am flexible, available, and attentive to all details. I can adjust pricing according to number of pets and requirements. I recently retired from the business world and I am flexible to needs of owners. This will be my new ‘job’ that I am committed to. At home my dogs are always on leash and are never allowed out on their own. I will provide care that the owner expects. Safety will be my main concern for your furr baby.

About: I have taken care of many pets over the years. We always had a dog or two when I was growing up. My girl(Gracie- Beagle) is a senior and my other dog (Maui- Bernese Mountain Dog) is a big teddy bear! I work 4 days a week 7am-5pm. So if your dog would be ok in my house while I’m at work I would love to have them! I am home Friday- Sunday though if you need a weekend sitter or daycare! Let me know if your pet is crate trained or if they normally stay out in your house! I have a fenced in back yard! But I do prefer for pets to be house trained. One of my dogs stays in a crate during the day when I have to work because he tears stuff up. I also only take one client at a time in my house unless you have more than one dog! I prefer not to mix multiple pets together that don’t know one another.

About: I’ve always had dogs/cats growing up and I have lots of experience with dog and cat sitting. I used to have a large breed senior dog from the shelter and two outdoor cats but now we just have a middle aged doodle. Although recently my family and I have adopted 2 puppies. So I have lots of experience being around and caring for dogs and cats of all different breeds, sizes, and ages. Other than helping take care of my own dogs and taking them on walks, feeding them, teaching them basic commands, cleaning up after them, and bathing them, I have also had experience watching other dogs and cats than my own as well. I recently cared for and watched a very large breed dog for about a week and walked him twice everyday, fed him, and of course gave him lots of love and pets! I am a soon to be graduating senior at Rollins College and I would love the opportunity to incorporate pet care/dog walks into my daily/weekly routine! I don’t have any pets of my own while I am living and going to school in Florida so I have a pretty open schedule, just classes at the college for a few hours a day. CLASS (cannot book during starting Jan. 13) -MONDAY/WEDNESDAY: 1-3:45 -TUESDAY: 11-3 -THURSDAY: 11-3, 4:30-7 I currently live in an apartment on the lake that I love to take walks around! There’s a lot of green space for dogs to run around and I would be more than happy to care for your pet around my home. Although, when watching a client’s animal I am willing to conform to however the client would like me to care for their animal! I just want to make you and your pet happy ❤️

This was the first time we had someone drop in that the dogs didn't know. Our youngest dog was not welcoming at her first drop in visit despite meeting her ten days prior. She worked with him and he ended up in her lap the second visit. She was great to our dogs and great to us. We would highly recommend Brandi and will use her services again. In fact, we have already booked her again. Thanks Brandi.

Sarah was fabulous!! She was so sweet with our shy kitty and he warmed right up to her! She sent lots of pictures and even videos. I love how she even sent pictures of his food and water bowls so we had peace of mind that he was all good. She is absolutely fantastic and we will definitely be using her next time we go out of town.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Royal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Royal on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 69 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Royal. 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 Royal 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
