“Samantha is fantastic! She took care of our three cats for a weekend. She was reliable, responsible, and very responsive and communicative with her updates. She even helped make sure the cats stuck to their own bowls during mealtime– a tricky task! We needed someone to take care of our cats last minute, and we are so grateful that Samantha was able to accommodate us on such short notice! Thank you Samantha for providing us with confidence to go away knowing our pets were very well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her in the future! I highly recommend Samantha for any and all pet needs.”

About: I have more than 10 years of experience volunteering for animal shelters and working with dogs! I’ve worked as a kennel assistant and bather/groomer with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds, including puppies, seniors and disabled dogs. I also have experience in overnight pet sitting as well as drop-ins, caring for cats and dogs alike of relatives and family friends. Anyone who knows me, knows I light up the moment I see a dog, and I love the connection I quickly build with almost every animal I meet. I strive for meticulous attention to detail and upmost care. As a highly sensitive person, I am very attuned to how your pet is feeling and aim to make them feel comfortable and happy. I’d love to become your pet’s new friend! I am available most weekdays; I also run my own business so my schedule is flexible. Weekends are tricky but weekend evenings can be a possibility, if needed! Visiting clients homes, I am happy to offer feedings and/or medications, tidy any pet-related messes, and go on potty walks local to the client’s location. Always included: scritches, playtime and treats!
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay overnight with their pets while away. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, senior dogs, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, so I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I’m a recent college graduate currently studying for the LSAT, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they can feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I’m responsible, communicative, and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands.
About: As a doctor, I’ve spent years caring for people of all ages and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to the pets I look after. What sets me apart is my medical background and calm, caring approach to both routine and unexpected situations. I’m comfortable helping with pets who need a bit of extra attention, like seniors, those on medication, or anxious animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, when I started helping my neighbors with their pets while they were away. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training, to older dogs who require gentler care and medication on schedule. In the past, I’ve also trained many dogs, focusing on consistency, positive reinforcement, and gentle play to help them learn and have fun. Whether your pet needs structured walks, quiet companionship, or a steady hand during medication time, I’ll treat them like one of my own family members. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.
About: I have extensive experience with caring for dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles. I’m hoping to alleviate the stress of pet parents who need to get away, and want to know someone safe and reliable will be there to help! x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

“Michael took care of our dog for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We had him do drop in visits twice a day and he was amazing. He also watered our outdoor plants and did anything else we asked!

About: I love animals and have always had cats and dogs for pets. My last pet, a dog named Colby passed 2 years ago and I am still so heartbroken I have not yet gotten a new dog because I am afraid of going through losing a pet again. I feel that sharing my love and caring for someone's dog will clear that worry from my mind and open me up to adopting a new best friend. I am retired so I will be home 24/7 to care for the dogs. I have a big yard so dogs in my care will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I also have a deck so we'll be able to relax and have a snack in the sunshine. I own my home and it sits on an acre of land so there is plenty of room.I am retired so I am home 24/7. There are really not too many restrictions in my house. I usually close a few doors to other rooms so I know what and where the dog is doing at all times.
“Used Kamille for the first time for my puppy for a drop in visit. She was quick to schedule a meet and greet once I contacted her, I could tell she was good with animals as soon as I met her. The visit went very well, she did everything that was asked and I could tell my puppy was very happy when I got home. The report card was detailed and let me know exactly how things went.”
“Nicole did drop ins for my two dogs for a long weekend. She was very attentive and thorough at keeping you informed on how your dogs are doing. We are repeat customers and would highly recommend her!”
“Kristina did an amazing job with our cat Maxie! Although he is very shy and skittish, he warmed up to Kristina almost immediately. She followed our instructions perfectly and actually went above and beyond to make Maxie feel comfortable. The proof is in the pictures she took of herself and Maxie together. He looks completely relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate to ask Kristina back again! She’s amazing.”

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 Scotchtown 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.
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 Scotchtown 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Scotchtown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
