“Lauren is simply the best! This was my second time booking with her, and I am so glad and grateful that I did. She did such a wonderful job taking care of my cat over the holidays (and sent a wealth of photos and updates, which helped us cope with being away for so long). My cat was so calm and well-adjusted when we returned home — she clearly loves Lauren! She’s our favorite cat-sitter, hands down. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Betsy was a HUGE help to us while we were away on vacation!! She made drop-in visits to check on our fur baby, and we couldn't have felt more at ease! Our dog is very skittish around strangers, but Betsy was able to put her right at ease. Our dog is rather picky and won't eat very well unless some is there. Betsy accommodated this need and sat with her while she ate each day. She also sent us picture and video updates throughout the time we were away to let us know our baby was doing great! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to help take care of our dog, and we sure hope Betsy is available for our future needs since she helped us SO much!”
“Katie was a joy to work with. From the first time she met with Lucy for an introduction before taking on the job through the daily updates while we were away, she made every effort to make us feel comfortable leaving our little one in her trusted care. She is kind and generous and we would gladly use her services in the future. Lucy our pup clearly enjoyed her company. Thanks Katie!”
“Kim is an excellent sitter!!! She came to the house and made her way through the new snow to provide services for our two cats. Recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting.”
“Cynthia took care of my elderly cat who has medical needs while I was away on vacation. She was professional, caring, and dependable. She was excellent at keeping in communication and providing me with updates so that I could relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my cat was in capable hands. I highly recommend her and would hire her in the future!”
“Andrea was fantastic! She responded so quickly, communicated very clearly, and my pup was tuckered out after her visit. Andrea sent along lots of photos, too. Will definitely be using Andrea’s services again!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also foster dogs and work closely with a local rescue, which has given me experience helping dogs adjust to new environments, build confidence, and feel safe. I'm comfortable working with reactive dogs and have a solid understanding of basic training, so I can reinforce good habits and provide calm, consistent care during walks and visits. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, or plenty of playtime and cuddles, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work evenings as a bartender, so I'm available most mornings and afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. My shifts are typically only a few hours long, which gives me plenty of flexibility, and I also have every other weekend off. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize in my schedule. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual routine and needs. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have the company of my friendly, well-socialized dog. Outdoor time is always supervised, and I can use a lead or crate dogs when appropriate for their safety and comfort. For overnight stays in a client's home, I would need to bring my own dog with me. She is well-trained, respectful, and gets along well with other dogs. I understand that this isn't the right fit for every pet, so I'm always happy to discuss or set up a meet to see whether it would be a good match beforehand. To make sure your pet has the best experience possible, I ask that owners let me know about any treat or food allergies, dietary restrictions, favorite toys, or anything they should avoid. I love following your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away.
“Kate is great!!!! She takes great care of our kitties while we are gone and is an excellent communicator. It is such a relief knowing that they are in great hands while we are away. Thanks Kate!”
“Hana was terrific! The dogs loved her, and she loved them. She was on time every day, fed them according to our instructions, and hung out with them and played with them, which was extra. We will definitely use her again.”
“Alex did an amazing job with Roscoe! We are very happy with her services. She also filled in last minute and was super flexible and professional. We will definitely be contacting her again. Thanks, Alex!”
“Liz is fantastic! she has been incredibly patient with my shy kitty. it’s obvious by her care and attention that she knows and loves animals. she is trustworthy, considerate, and communicative. She is my go to person for drop in visits.”
“I have a very shy dog and after trying 2 other sitters he finally warmed up to Sarah! I was surprised how quickly he did take to Sarah, she has away with animals! She even spent some of her own time coming to my house to get rico comfortable wirh her b4 there 1st over nighter which I was very impressed with! I can honestly say i feel very confident leaving rico in Sarah's hands!”
“Hailey looked in on our 2 cats every day while we were on vacation, and I could tell they were well cared for when we came back. She was very responsive and provided photos every day. When our flight home got cancelled, she even came an extra day which relieved some of the travel stress! Definitely recommend, and I would book her again for cat care. Thanks Hailey!”
“It was a very nice meeting Lani. She was on time, very cordial, definitely had a rapport with our Berniedoodle, Sophie, who lay right by her feet. We all spent time together so she could get to know our Sophie. We all look forward to having her back very soon. Thank you Lani.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 550 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sanbornton. 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 Sanbornton 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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.
