“Kennedy took great care of our cats while we were away. I appreciated that she could give medication! She spent time with the cats and made sure all their needs were met. We would for sure book with Kennedy again!”

About: Hey my name is Jade. I’m a stay at home girlfriend looking for cats to spoil. I grew up with a handsome feline named Marometas (spanish for cartwheel) and am looking for cats to keep me (and my boyfriend) company. We’ve love to have cats of our own but unfortunately it’s just not in our budget therefore I decided to start cat sitting so we’d have an pet at home that we can love as our own. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend and I do all the cooking on the weekend so during the week I’m pretty free. We are flexible to whatever your needs are just send me a message and we can work it out. I’m also willing to pet sit other small animals such as rabbits or reptiles. We live in a pet friendly apartment with access to a large grassy area and a dog park just for our community. All the dogs in the community are dna registered and occasionally we’d get other animals such as deer and rabbits that pop by. I have no pets and I plan on only hosting 1 pet at a time. We don’t have any house plants that could be hazardous to animals.

About: Since I was a child, I have been an animal nerd. My passion for animals is only matched by my deep devotion to caring for them and maximizing their welfare. I have greater than 20 years of experience taking care of animals. I have experience working in a dog kennel, and a humane society, as well as extensive experience doing in-home visits. While most of my experience is with dogs and cats, I have taken care of a variety of breeds, sizes and ages! I love to make an animal comfortable and slowly gain their trust through consistent action and patience. I have experience administering medications, trimming nails, and basic grooming. I work in the research field full-time during the week, but caring for pets fills my cup outside of work. I'm free weekends and after 5:00PM on weekdays. I love to spend time with animals. I care for pets outside of my home at this time due to limited space and apartment living. I prioritize your pet's safety by making sure they are secured and monitored carefully. I take pride in getting to know the pets I work with so that I can identify if something seems out of the norm for them. Confidentiality & privacy are important to me.

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was 9 years old. I have a variety of clients around the 574 area along with down where I go to college. Sitting/boarding, walking, and training is where I have the most experience with pets. I'm often the first call from family and friends when in search of pet care and training. I raised a very medically compromised puppy from birth so I have experience with those caliber of animals. Registered veterinary technician. Work Monday-Thursdays 8a-6p so I’m available Thursday evening-Sunday afternoon for a variety of different services. Can potentially make arrangements for weeknight care if needed but I wouldn’t be available until after 7 pm. I have a fenced in yard with three small dogs of my own. They are all very gentle and laid back and welcoming to other dogs in the household, with one being a puppy who is eager to have a playmate as the other two generally don't play unless out in the yard. I love getting to know the owners as well as their pets and their preferences and quirks to ensure that I can give the best care possible.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and currently care for two of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I also help care for my sister’s cat when needed. What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a senior dog, including giving oral medication, joint supplements, and applying eye and ear medication as needed. I’m also comfortable teaching basic tricks and engaging dogs mentally through training and play. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, reliable, and patient, and I always treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on most weekdays, as well as weekends. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already part of my daily life. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keeping a consistent routine for pets. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away. I have experience with crate training and can easily crate dogs if needed, as well as follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I currently have two friendly dogs, so I’m familiar with managing multiple pets in a calm and controlled environment. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like family.

“Outstanding experience with Sheri. She took care of both our dogs — a high-energy 1-year-old yellow lab and our 14-year-old chocolate lab who needs a bit more attention — and handled both without any issues. Sheri went above and beyond in ways we didn't ask for and didn't expect. She wiped the dogs down every time they came inside, which matters a lot with a younger lab who gets into everything. She also picked up after them in the yard — never asked, just did it. That kind of stuff you notice. We came home to two happy dogs and a clean space. No complaints at all. I would absolutely book Sheri again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I had a shih-tzu that I raised and currently have an alaskan klee kai that is my soul dog. I LOVE both dogs and cats, they are such a light in this world. My friend and I used to dog sit for her neighbor once a month, and I dog walked for my neighbor every day for two years, as well as dog sat for her whenever she went on vacation! I know I may not have experience on this app specifically, but I have lots of experience in real life and I would be a great fit for your needs! I’m currently looking for a part time job so I can go back to college, and my friend suggested I check out rover, which I LOVE the idea of! I will also be moving to Lansing very soon! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, feed and water them, play with them, snuggle on them, give them medication, whatever you need I can do as long as it’s safe to do it! Thank you for your consideration:)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sciota

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 921 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sciota. 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 Sciota. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
