About: I grew up around animals and have had several dogs myself, so I know how l'd like my dog treated as a pet owner. I regularly take care of family and friends' dogs when they're away and have gotten along with pretty much any dog l've ever met. I am currently not working a full time job and have most days available including weekend days. I can match my schedule to your pet care needs. After greeting your dog and either running around the backyard or getting in a good walk to tucker them out, I'll make sure they have all the food, water, and pets they need while you're away
“Kristen immediately put my mind at ease when I met her. She is kind and has a gentle presence. I know that my cat is in the best hands with her! I highly recommend Kristen! She will be my go to booking for Mr. Bunny Ears 🩷🐱”
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m an experienced pet care professional with nearly a decade of experience caring for and working with animals. While dogs absolutely have my heart, I’m also experienced and comfortable caring for cats! I currently work professionally in dog daycare as well as pet sitting and dog walking, so I’m experienced with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I always take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, boundaries, and favorite things. 💕 Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether that means plenty of playtime, long walks, cuddles, enrichment, or simply keeping them comfortable and sticking closely to their normal routine, I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give my own. You can relax knowing they’re in experienced, caring hands! 🐶🐱💗 Meet & Greet: I require a complimentary 15–30 minute meet & greet before confirming a new service. This gives us a chance to go over your pet’s routine and care needs, allows your pet to get comfortable with me, and helps make sure we’re a great fit for one another. Safety and comfort—for you, your pet, and me—always come first! Pet care is already part of my everyday routine! I work professionally with animals, so providing attentive, reliable, and loving care comes naturally to me. I have a dog of my own who I absolutely love caring for and training, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands! 🐾 I’m a huge believer in enrichment and love keeping pets mentally and physically fulfilled through walks, play, training, sniffing, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to body language and signs of stress or discomfort, and I never force interactions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own pup. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while they’re with me! 💕
“Kai and Devon were great! I'm always anxious to leave my cat and my Monty is just as anxious. They both took great care of him even when he puked and gave me updates to calm my nerves. Also the pictures looked professional quality! I will use them again for future cat sitting needs.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I've watched many neighbors, family, and friends fur babies, alongside caring for my own dog and cats, over the years. I've even cared for a rabbit, hamster, and fish on occasion. I am no stranger to caring for pets with medical requirements, or cats and dogs who are older and need a little more patience on walks, going up stairs, or just moving around. Animals all have their own personalities, just like humans, and I treat each pet with compassion, love, and care; as if they are my own. I'm well-versed in giving cats and dogs medication; my dog takes meds every morning. I will tread your pets with kindness and respect and work with you to ensure you are comfortable with me and our working relationship. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I am able to accommodate caring for (feeding, playing, spending time with, etc) and/or walking your fur baby during the week and most weekends. I'm happy to work with you and accommodate a schedule that benefits you and your fur baby! Safety and security are top priority. I want to ensure I care for your pet(s) in a comfortable, happy, and safe manor. I would like to learn about your pet(s), how you would like me to care for them, and have an open communication throughout my time caring for your fur baby. Happiness and trust are extremely important for all parties involved!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rutledge
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Breanna! She has known Harper since we moved to Media three years ago, and over that time, she has become such a constant, caring presence in our lives. She has followed us through one house move and even two pregnancies, always showing Harper the same incredible level of love and attention. Breanna goes so far above and beyond what you could ever expect from a dog walker. Her updates and notes show just how closely she pays attention to Harper and how genuinely invested she is in her well-being. We always feel completely confident knowing Harper is in her care. And somehow, she manages to make our lives a little easier, too. She’ll bring in our mail and packages, and on more than one occasion, she’s even put away a loaf of bread I accidentally left sitting on the counter after a hectic morning with my two boys. Breanna is reliable, kind, attentive, trustworthy, and truly treats Harper like her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with their whole heart. Harper absolutely adores her, and so do we!
We are so lucky to have found Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Marnie. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and I could tell she was taking care of our dog like she was her own. She was reliable and I could enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog or my house. Will DEFINITELY be using Rachel to watch Marnie in the future.
Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.
Chen is excellent with my reactive dog. She has a gentle and confident approach and instinctively knows how to manage my dog's anxiety and quickly made her feel comfortable with her. Now they are pals. I highly recommend Chen as a pet sitter especially if your pet has any fear/anxiety/special needs issues!
Karen was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She is reliable, caring and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dogs were so well cared for and I could see how happy and content they were in the photos! Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone!
This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Rutledge is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $41 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 9,140 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rutledge. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rutledge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Rutledge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
