I can’t say enough good things about Sophia. We felt completely at ease leaving our cats in her care. She was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and kept us updated frequently, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was truly one of the best cat-sitting experiences we’ve ever had. Thank you, Sophia, for your love, care, and dedication — we’re so grateful!

About: I am certified in Fear Free Shelter Training that allows me to properly care for animals in a low stress environment. I have also worked with a variety of species from house pets, rodents, exotics and farm animals! As of right now pet sitting is my full time job. I am available almost all times of the day. If I cannot do a specific day or time I will be sure to let you know in advance! I cannot bring your pets to my home as I have too many pets of my own. However, I am more than willing to take your pets out for walks, to play ball or just hangout at home with them!

About: I love taking care of animals but I also love truly engaging with your pets, and giving them extra love each time I'm with them. I try to make it a little easier for them with their family being away by making sure they are entertained and happy. I have very flexible availability, mainly mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I am always willing to discuss specific availability needs and I have a very flexible schedule. I love really engage and play with your pets and to send lots of pictures and share updates when I stay with your pet overnight.

About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

About: I've taken care of dogs as long as I can remember, but have been doing it as a side job since I was about 12. I love all dogs, whether they are big, small, old, or young. I am currently working in the morning and early afternoons, so evening and night (walks, check-ins, etc.) would be ideal for my schedule at the moment! I have a large unfenced yard and a jittery, but friendly pup that would love to get to know yours! I also have access to yards that are fenced in!:)

About: I have been taking care of my own and friends dogs ever since I was young. From puppies to middle aged dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, and training them. I am currently working part-time, mainly nights during the week. During the daytime (9am-2pm) I can stop by check up, walk, and play with your pups! I focus on providing reliable, loving care and following each pet owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, given fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I adapt my care to their routine and personality while keeping their safety and comfort my top priority.

I appreciate the photos she sent, as well as her genuine care for my cat - highly recommend. Will definitely be asking her to take care of him down the line again as well :)

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, starting with my first cat, Rosie, and over time I’ve gained hands-on experience with both kittens and senior cats. I’ve raised four kittens (three rescues) myself, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention, and consistency needed for young pets. Additionally, I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, through the care of my own pups and friends’. I have lots of experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and assisting with more advanced care such as subcutaneous (IV) fluids. Because of this, I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and can provide a higher level of care for pets with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I work as a Medical Assistant full time on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but my evenings and weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m based in Utica and am happy to travel as needed for drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while being attentive to pets’ needs. I provide care either in my pet-friendly, secure residence (keycard access) or in the client’s home, depending on their needs. I am flexible and attentive to any special requests, and I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life. My friends jokingly call me the dog whisperer. I have experience with everything from potty training to surgical rehab and medicine administration. Nighttime visits and Long walks are no sweat. I'm also very neat and clean so any messes made by your pups are no problem at all. My schedule is currently open 7 days a week. If for any reason I am not available pet owners will be made aware before scheduling any services. I recently lost both my pups to cancer. Thorn was almost 15, and my girl Rain was almost 13. Being around other dogs is helping me cope with their loss. My home yard is very large (over an acre), and fully fenced in. Dogs also don't have any furniture restrictions in my home. They're welcome to sit or sleep wherever they like. If sitting in your home I abide by your rules for everything. Dinner time, kinds of treats, or walks schedules are all set by you.

About: I have alot of experience with horse sized dogs and little obes alike, its important to me that they get the love they miss from their owners. Im currently going to school partime and learning the area so i have tons of time to go for walks or play with your fur baby and keep up their schedule. I want to make sure both of our spaces are respected, i like to keep places as nice as i left them so i try to take an hour to spot clean anywhere ive been or where your pet may have made a mess and leave it tidy. I do the same for my home, i clean after every visitor.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sauquoit on Rover is $18.32 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 195 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sauquoit. 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 Sauquoit 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 Sauquoit. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
