About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14. I love all animals and have experience with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have 5 dogs at home so I’m used to chaos! I also started working with farm animals when I was 12 so I have experience working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and ect. I currently work only two days at my church, so I have plenty of time to play with all the dogs and cats! I will make sure to communicate with you when those times are and if I leave during the day. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around in. All of my dogs are crate-trained, and they go up at night. During the day I leave them outside or they lounge around inside. All my dogs are allowed on the furniture.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up. I’ve had four dogs at the same time and I have always had a cat growing up. I love taking care of cats and playing with them. I think animals deserve love and affection and care. I’ve taken care of young animals and I’ve also taken care of senior animals. I currently have two cats who are 13 years old and 3 years old. I currently work full time, so weekends would be best or after work. Fridays I work from home so I’m fully flexible. Overnights stays would have to be weekends unless it’s close to my work then it’s possible for longer stays I have a home that my cats can roam around and everything is pet friendly. They don’t get into anything that is harmful for them

Rachel was an incredible pet-sitter for our three cats! From the start, she went above and beyond, bringing treats and even addressing some minor stomach issues they were having. Rachel’s care and attention were evident, especially with our cat, Fiona, who adored her so much she was waiting at the door for Rachel around her usual visit time for several days after we returned. It was so comforting to know our cats were in such great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have Rachel back anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet-sitter!

About: Aside from growing up with dogs in the house, I am an experienced dog owner and U.S. Navy veteran with a strong understanding of structure, reliability, and attentive care. I own a Belgian Malinois, so I’m especially comfortable handling high-energy and working breeds that need exercise, consistency, and engagement. I provide a safe, active, and calm environment with plenty of walks, playtime, and personalized attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a Belgian Malinois owner. My days are structured around exercise, walks, playtime, training, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and engaged. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs and giving them consistent attention. Caring for dogs naturally fits into my schedule and lifestyle especially during the summer months while not in school. -When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and maintaining a familiar environment to reduce stress. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. -When on walks, I prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort while keeping walks controlled and enjoyable. I avoid unsafe situations, stay aware of surroundings, and make sure dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while feeling secure and cared for.

About: My husband Rusty and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We have two dogs of my own now who are our ENTIRE world! We have met amazing dog sitters on rover that have helped our family out tremendously and we would love to do that for others as well! We have done plenty of dog sitting, walking, etc. with friends fur babies and it is always so much fun to meet other dogs and get to know their little personalities! I am currently taking a break from nursing contracts right now. I have a lot of flexibility. Please reach out as I’d love to meet your fur baby and help out in ANY way I can! My dogs and I love to go on long walks outside and after we are nice and tired come inside and cuddle or play some more! I know that it can be a little bit nerve racking to trust others with your fur babies- we are the same way! Our goal is to make you feel totally comfortable letting us care for your animals and caring for them exactly how you would want! :) We would also be open to having a play date with our two dogs too if that is something you would want and be comfortable with. Our dogs get along with all dogs and cats and love to play!

Dee is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of our doggos, and they absolutely love her. We get plenty of photos, she is punctual, and communicates extremely well. She even made them doggy-friendly cookies! I highly recommend Dee to give your puppies the love and care they need while you’re away!

Annika was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Moose! She followed every instruction (and there were a lot because I’m definitely an overprotective puppy mom 😂), gave us wonderful updates and photos, and took such great care of him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. She is incredibly kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We completely trust her with our boy and would absolutely book with her again. We can’t recommend her enough!

About: Hello! Liam and Sierra will be taking care of your furry family!! Sierra grew up on a farm and loves all 4 legged friends. Liam grew up with dogs his whole life! We love all dogs and show that by showing them a safe but loving, great time! Last year Liam and I fostered 14 dogs from bottle babies to seniors, so we are educated on all types. And now we have a large fenced in yard that dogs can run full speed in!! We also have an air conditioned sunroom that they can chill, drink water, and relax until ready to run again! The yard also has several mature trees so it’s very shaded! A doggie paradise! We are currently working on adding a doggie pool so they can cool off in the summer! My husband and I will be team working watching your pets! There will almost always be someone around to be there. We will always have them play before their breakfast. Then nap time for their belly’s to digest! Midday potty and play break. Then cool down. Then back to playing then eating! And for overnight potty breaks before bed! I have a large fenced in yard, and two friendly dogs myself! They are more than welcome to play or be separated! We have built in wooden crates here that are 6 feet by 3 feet they can lounge in or you can bring yours! However you prefer we will accommodate your pets needs! Our first priority is safety, and next your pet having a fun time!

About: I am a relief licensed veterinary technician and stay at home mom that does pet sitting on the side!! Petsitting is what I do full time now! Most of my business (90%) is drop in pet visits while owners are away on vacation, I do however offer limited (meaning 1 client at a time) free roam boarding in my own home unless I step away from the house then they are kenneled for their safety. They are able to exercise and go potty on 3/4 acre pipe fenced/no climb yard. I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. 6 years of experience with exotics such as reptiles, birds and pocket pets. I can care for your pet inside my home or can travel to the client's home. I have experience administering SQ fluids, oral and topical medications, injections, and bandages. In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc. Petsitting, boarding, and travel grooming services is what I do full time if Im not substituting at the school! They will have frequent potty breaks to eliminate any accients. I have a pipe fence with no climb on 3/4 acre of land for them to roam and play when supervised. Other times they will be free roaming with my two goldens. If they get along other times, they will be kenneled when I am away and sleeping at night in my bedroom.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Currently have a dog and two cats that I love to bits. I always find time to be out playing with my dog and keeping cats company when it comes to the night hours. I’m currently not working but I do have the transportation to get around for check ins on pets. I have free time on my hands at the moment so my schedule is really open to going in the morning, going in the afternoon, and going in the evening times before bedtime. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so being in the client's home I would be sure to introduce myself to the dogs, be outside while dogs are playing, and always attentive as to where an animal is within the house or backyard.

Alexandra is exactly what we needed! This was only my second time using Rover and I accidentally sent her to the wrong address(over 30 min away) 🤦🏻‍♀️ however she was so kind to go to our new address and take care of our babies! I could give her 5 stars on that alone, but she was so great at checking in even on our extra shy cat who hides from everyone. She even got her to come out!!! She cleaned the litter boxes more than we anticipated and was overall amazing! If you’re a beginner using Rover, Alexandra will provide all the comfort you need.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Runaway Bay on Rover is $22.2 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 344 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Runaway Bay. 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 Runaway Bay 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 Runaway Bay. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
