“We couldn’t be happier with Jynna! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring. Our pets were comfortable and well-loved while we were away, which gave us total peace of mind. We appreciated the regular updates, photos, and attention to detail! She is the sweetest! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“We had a big hiccup at first and Cortney did her best to help. We are very appreciative of how she handled it. Pepper seemed to take to her very well. Thank you again so much!!”
“Jasmine was great! Both of my dogs are nervous with new people so I requested to do a drop-in visit before she stays for an overnight with them while I’m away. She was very gentle and patient to gain their trust and even brought them some treats! I am confident that my pets will be well taken care of when I go out of town.”
About: Experienced and affordable pet care is here! I have years of pet care experience and I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you with your pet needs. I see to it that pets are well cared for. I make it a priority to see to it that their needs are met in what I do. I take care to listen to instructions and to follow them. In client's homes I treat belongings as my own, if not better. In all cases, pets are well loved. 😍
“Monica is awesome. Very thorough and knowledgeable about dogs and how to take care of them I'm fairly new with the Rover app, I felt very comfortable with her to take care of my dog. She rocks!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10. Every puppy or dog from the shelter has been crate/potty trained. I do have a senior dog who needs more patience and attention but he still acts like a puppy sometimes. I’m retired so I can make your life easier. Just let me know what/when you’ll need me and I can work it out for you and your babies. I have a fenced yard and my babies are house trained so they have free access to the entire house. If I’m potty training, of course, they would be crated.
About: I grew up in 4-H around all types of pets. I’ve had chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, birds, and snakes. I’m more than comfortable with larger animals as well such as horses, cows, sheep, donkeys, and goats. Any pet, any age, any needs. I’m here to make sure your pet gets the right type of care! I work part time and can stop by for your pets as often as I’m able, typically no longer than 6 hours between visits. I’m also able to stay with your pet at your home overnight. Every pet needs something different. If your pet needs extra attention, medication, lots of play time, or has any special needs, I’m more than happy to cater to your pets specific needs.
About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!
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 am a major animal lover, I often think I enjoy pets over humans at times . I will love your pet like my own. I enjoy going to different parks so your pet will have a fun time going on a walk. During boarding your pet will be treated like my own, if your fur baby has anxiety not a problem they will not be alone I allow dogs on my sofa and bed so if need be they will not sleep alone. Not potty trained ?? Not a problem, I am patient as know it is a process to everything so trust you puppy will be on the schedule we discuss as to not set them back while in my care . ! ! I love animals and always give them the care , exercise and love they need and deserve and I treat my dog as my child I walk him daily, and open fields to run . I stay away from dog parks but if your baby wants to go then I will take them. I have a fenced back yard and one French Bulldog that is my spoiled baby. He has his own room and space where he can go to sleep and play if he doesn’t not want to be bothered . I will treat your pet like my own .
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a professional groomer for the past 5 years. I am a mom to a tripod Shiba Inu mix and a deaf Shih Tzu mix! I work for a school district 7-4 Monday-Friday. This has freed up my schedule on weekday evenings and weekends are typically free with a bit of notice! I have a soft spot for seniors, I am especially gentle with the sugar faced pets. I understand each pet is a unique situation and will have flexibility to meet their needs!
“Averie was great caring for my boy Vegas. Even on short notice she was able to acomodate us on a Sunday. Big thank you! I would definitely request her services in the near future.”
About: Hi! My name is Sam, and animals have been a huge part of my life and career for almost a decade. I have been working in the veterinary field for around 10 years, and most of my recent experience is a lead ER technician. Because of my experience in emergency medicine, I’m very comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, administering medications, and responding quickly if a pet ever needs medical attention. Before working in emergency medicine, I also owned and operated a mobile pet grooming business, so I’ve spent years handling dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care, I’m very comfortable working with them all. Currently I am not working and working on getting certified to start an IT career so my availability is very open. I’m a mom to two boys and married, so family and responsibility are a huge part of my life. Occasionally my family may come along on walks or visits, but they are very respectful of animals and understand the importance of safety and boundaries. My goal when caring for your pets is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. With my veterinary background, grooming experience, and genuine love for animals, you can feel confident your pets are in knowledgeable and caring hands. I just left the veterinary ER lead technician role to pursue IT, my schedule is very open with studying being my main day to day ans taking care of my two boys (5 and 14 years old). My care for pets is based off their personal needs. I like to take the time to get to know the pet to ensure they’re comfortable and happy.
About: I grew up in a household with dogs and currently have two of my own, it never gets old taking care of sweet pets! I love meeting new animals and happy to be able to take care of yours. I work a very flexible schedule where I can work remote if needed and I have every Friday off so your pets will get plenty of attention I love to keep pets engaged and active if they have the energy for it! Playing out in the yard or with some toys inside is always a blast.
About: I’m a dependable, patient, and caring pet sitter who understands how important it is to know your dog is safe and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping your pup on their usual routine. I take responsibility seriously and will treat your home and your pet with respect. I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for, just like family! I work part-time, so I do my best to plan my schedule around the pets in my care. I'm happy to arrange visits, walks, and pet-sitting stays in advance to make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. My availability may vary depending on my work schedule, but I'll always communicate clearly and do my best to accommodate your needs! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and maintain your pet's usual routines as much as possible. I'll make sure your dog has fresh water, proper meals, exercise, and plenty of affection. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sanctuary is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $18 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 November 2026, there are 3,331 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sanctuary. 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.
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 Sanctuary. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
