About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!
“Michelle is amazing! This was our first time using a pet sitter for our 8 and 9 year old pups and she made the whole process smooth and we were able to enjoy our time away with confidence that they were going to be well cared for. Updates are sent every visit and photos and videos were a delight to see. She was communicative and flexible! She went above and beyond! But most of all she is able to really read dog behavior and adjust accordingly. She is clearly an animal lover who enjoys what she does! I would highly recommend using Michelle for all your pet sitting needs! I know we will be calling on her again and again :)”
About: I have experience with cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and even lizards! I've dog sat a handful of times, and I have my own senior dog I love and care for. I’m currently working part time, which is enough time to take care and play with your animals! I would enjoy taking them on walks, to the park to play, or even just cuddle in my free time. I will make sure your dog is safe in your home, and provide them with enough love, care and exercise. If there’s certain needs for them I can gladly get it done.
“Thomas was wonderful with our dog! He dropped in on her while we were out of town for 3 nights and couldn’t board her because she was getting over a respiratory infection. She had a few unexpected behaviours while we were away and also got an upset stomach one day and made quite a mess, but Thomas handled it all wonderfully. He communicated with us about everything that went on and what he did about it, and he sent us pics and videos throughout the trip so we could know she was being well cared for. We would absolutely trust him again with our dogs.”
About: I have practice taking care of an elderly terrier with multiple health conditions. I spent 2 months taking care of a corgi, boarder collie, and two cats. I am currently without work for the summer, so I have nearly open availability. The only days that I may be busy is on Thursdays. I am patient when dealing with all sorts of animals. I have not came across a pet that did not get along with me. I love cuddling and playing with animals.
About: Hi! I’m Alesha, a reliable and caring pet lover based in the area. I’m new to Rover, so I’m currently offering discounted rates to build my client base. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and can help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I’m looking to make extra money by hopefully walking your dog on weekends or after 5pm on weekdays. I enjoy dogs and being outside and can’t think of a better way to make some extra money than that! I have a black lab that can come on the walk with your pet or not, if you choose not that is fine. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take him/her to a park either is fine.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a dog by my side taught me how to understand, care for, and connect with them in a way that feels completely natural. Being around dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I've known my whole life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning their unique personalities, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Every dog deserves care that feels like home, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I currently work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). I can take care of pets after 5pm and on the weekends. We can arrange timing if needed. Thank you! I have a very spacious loft downtown I can have them in. Also have space for kennels if needed. Lots of parks near by and sidewalks to walk them. I’m also willing to take care of them at the clients residents as well. Whatever is needed for the job at hand!
“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”
“Can't say enough good things, every day she's stopped in to check on my pup, he's had a great day playing fetch, running around, getting some of his energy out. His commands have gotten better, crate training better, and she's given me good tips and tricks that she's observed spending time with my pup. Also takes and sends great little videos and pictures of my pup playing or being crazy whenever she does a drop in.”
About: NOW OFFERING A FREE BATH FOR FIRST TIME BOOKINGS! I worked at an exotic vet clinic for almost 2 years. I have a 7 year old boy. I have worked with multiple dogs as the same time for over 10 years. I am now training. I can't wait to play with your pups/critters!! ❤️ I work early mornings at a doggie daycare Pets are taken outside in the mornings and fed if need to be before work (only two days a week) when I get home at noon everyone is let out again fed lunch if needed, then we have supervised play time. Everyone goes out again, then we rest. Dinner is served in the evenings and after we go out to potty again. (I am able to accommodate to younger pups or dogs with medical issues) I do have three friendly dogs and one kitty. All new pets are slowly introduced to my three dogs. One at a time. after everyone if aware of each other, then its time to play!
About: I've been an animal shelter volunteer and pet parent for the last 16 yrs, fostered cats and dogs (from babies to seniors) in my home for the last 12 yrs and have been the go-to cat & dog sitter for countless friends & family since college. I have extensive experience caring for senior cats and dogs as well as training and experience with pets with anxiety issues; especially rescues. I truly love animals and would love to care for your "furbabies" while you're away! I'm happy to care for your pets in whatever way you/they require in your home. Frequent walks and outdoor potty breaks are no problem! I'm also happy to bathe and/or medicate your pet if needed. I currently work in retail full time but my schedule can be somewhat flexible with at least 2 wks notice. However, I do typically work 12-6pm Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun, so if you're looking to book me on weekends, please keep in mind that your pups will have to go about 6.5hrs without a potty break. For the time being, I am only doing in-house pet sitting at the pet's home. I don't have a fenced yard and therefore don't feel comfortable watching pets in my home.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My mom and dad were very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I have no problem caring for dogs in any age range, I can walk and house sit. I am currently working part time as a Realtor so I have plenty of time to watch and walk your pups! I can board on the weekends or weekdays if needed. I have a full privacy fenced around my backyard with two of my own fur babies who are neutered and friendly. But I can crate your pups to keep them safe and separate mine to make yours a priority for the time being.
“Brice is a wonderful sitter for my Frenchie. My schedule changes some weeks and he is always willing to try to work with me to make sure my puppy is taken care of. And my Milo loves him to pieces!!”
About: Hi, I’m Angie, a lifelong dog lover and proud “dog mom” to seniors, rescues, and big personalities. Animals have always been part of our family life (so much so that my daughter is now at LSU Veterinary School!). I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for years, from energetic multi-dog households to seniors, rescues, and special-needs pups. I have experience with medication administration, post-surgery rehab, blindness, seizures, and senior care. I'm comfortable following detailed routines, giving medications when needed, and adapting to each dog’s age, personality, and comfort level. I’ve helped friends and neighbors with walks, drop-ins, and overnights for years, and I’ve also been on the client side of Rover, so I truly understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets behind. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and loved, and you feel completely at ease. I’m naturally curious about animal behavior, training, nutrition, and preventative care. I’ve volunteered in shelter programs (including TNR assistance) and enjoy continuing to learn more about how to support animals at every stage of life. Whether your pet needs play and adventure, a steady routine, or gentle senior support, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, including mornings, midday, and evenings. I do have a weekend morning commitment, but I’m available before and after and will always make sure your pet’s needs are met. I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and details, and will always follow your instructions carefully. I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“I booked Tisha at the very last minute (due to a dog sitter cancellation) for some dog walks while I was out of town. Tisha is very responsive and kind -- I always felt like Zoe was in great hands! I feel so fortunate that we were able to find someone so great with only a day's notice! I highly recommend Tisha and would definitely book her again.”
About: Hi! I'm Oli! I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends over the years and giving furry babies love and attention! I do have 1 small pup of my own. Josie is my world! She could definitely tell you how spoiled she is in life. Your babe wouldn’t be any different, loving them as if they were my own! 💜 If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away. I'm currently working Rover part-time but I work from home so my schedule is flexible to clients needs. I'm free for walks in the morning and afternoon. Overnight stays can be arranged as well! I live in an apartment with a dog park, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! She loves to have company and friendly to other dogs and shares toys. My home could be your fur baby's home away from home!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sherwood is $18

Michelle went above and beyond for our pets our dog has stage 4 kidney disease and she did a wonderful job caring for her and keeping us up to date. I trust her completely. When our flights home we're cancelled and not able to be rebooked for two days Michelle immediately agreed to keep coming by for the fur babies and took care of everything for us with rover too. Michelle is THE BEST!
Rachel was great from start to finish. She took the time to meet beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she knew everything she needed before I left. During the stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. I’d definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her!
Ashleigh took care of our cat during the Fourth of July weekend while we were away and helped us out last-minute. She was reliable and gave us twice-daily updates. She also met with us before we went out of town so we could get to know each other a little, which we appreciated.
Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.
Cassandra was absolutely wonderful with my girl. She sent pictures and videos which put me at ease. I would highly recommend her to everyone. You can tell she has passion for animal’s and I felt like my girl was in good hands the entire time. So thankful for her. Truly the best!
Ariela and her husband Ryan watched our indoor/outdoor cats over the Christmas holiday, sending photos and updates. They fed them daily, cleaned out the litter boxes and refilled the water bowls. Thank you both for spending time over the holiday to take good care of all of them!
Ella did a fantastic job taking care of my kitties over the holidays! She thoroughly read the instructions I left her, paid good attention to detail, and kept the house clean. She even cleaned the sink, which was a pleasant surprise! She managed my cats' different dietary needs, including supplements and loading an automatic feeder, and handled one of the cats puking multiple times like a champ (on Christmas, no less!). She was highly communicative throughout her visits, which I appreciated. She's also a great picture taker! She sent pictures in the Rover Cards that really captured my cats' personalities. That showed me they felt comfortable with her, which made me feel much better about being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a sitter!
I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sherwood. 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
