“Thanks again for taking great care of Luna & Marci! Travis has been watching my dogs for years before he joined the Rover platform and my dogs always love to see him. Glad he made the move to Rover - just makes it even better having booking, payment, communication all in one convenient app.”

About: I grew up with medium sized dogs all of my childhood. In the past two ish years I’ve watched some family members dogs (on the bigger side). Then, for a little over a year I had two cats with my roommate. I’ve given dogs pills in their food but that’s it. Currently my work place is short staffed so my weekly schedule can vary but I do get one day off a week so feel free to still request certain times of the day! I’m typically working 6-2:30 otherwise. When I’m not on call I have weekends open. Also I don’t mind house sitting during the week as long as it’s okay for me to go to work and then come back! I would do everything instructed of me. Feed at scheduled time (or make sure there is food in the bowl). Fresh water every day. Try to play outside depending on weather.

About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have two cats, which is easier with our sports schedule, but I miss having a dog to walk. So, I thought I'd see if you needed help with yours. I'm working part-time and own a business. Both provide me flexibility to be there when your dog needs me. My kids are old enough for me to be gone for short stints. Prefer walking schedules during, morning, afternoon, or late evening as those provide me the best opportunity to give your pets the attention they deserve. Experience walking dogs with leash aggression. Can typically recognize it in your dog or the dogs we are approaching. Will always keep animals leashed in public.
“Emma did a fabulous job taking care of my bunnies while I was on a long trip despite it being her first time looking after rabbits. She followed care instructions closely and gave me updates after visiting, she even went out of her way and cuddle with my needy kitties! I would highly recommend Emma for pet care as a pet sitter myself. It is hard finding someone you can wholeheartedly trust with your loved ones, but I had no anxiety with Emma’s quality of care and friendly service.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started walking dogs when I was 11 years old. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, and many other pets of my own. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets, rescues, and shy animals who need extra patience and care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love building trust with each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is my full-time and only job, so I’m able to offer flexible scheduling, dependable communication, and plenty of attention for your pets. I’m typically available all days of the week, including daytime hours, with occasional exceptions depending on scheduling and personal appointments. I truly love what I do and treat every pet as if they were my own. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. During drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level while providing plenty of care, affection, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, medications if needed, and cleanup. I understand that trust is incredibly important when someone is caring for both your pets and your home, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.
“Brianna was great. I was in a pinch and had never used Rover before. She wasn't able to meet my dog (German Shepherd) before hand during the week. That is important walking into a home of a Shepherd! She was flexible and met my dog in the morning of the day I needed her in the afternoon. Very much appreciated and worked out really well. Highly recommended and everyone should use her (except when I need her!!) Bill”

“Caitlin and Samuel were a wonderful dog sitter! They treated my dog’s like her own, made sure all needs were met, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I will definitely book with her again!””

About: I have been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I understand that leaving your pets behind is difficult, which is why I make it my mission to minimize their stress. I treat every dog as if they were my own by providing them a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment. Whether it is an overnight house sitting, daytime drop-ins, or energizing dog walks, I tailor every visit to your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort, happiness, and your total peace of mind. I am currently working part-time, which will ensure that I have plenty of time to play and take care of all of your dogs' needs. Choosing the right pet sitter is about trust. Here is why pet parents choose me to care for their furry family members: Reliability & Communication: I provide regular updates and prompt communication so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. Safety-First Mentality: I am highly observant of dog body language and ensure safe leashing and a calm environment.

“Alex was wonderful with Abbey. She was extremely attentive to her and spent a lot of time making sure she had some activity and lot of love while we were on vacation. We will definitely be hiring her again. I would highly recommend her services. Her price was extremely fair and she went above and beyond making sure Abbey had extra walk time and provided us with lots of pictures.”

About: Hi! I am full-time teacher, part-time photographer, and a full-time dog mommy. I have had dogs as pets since I was about 10 years old. My family dogs became my responsibility when my parents went out of town (as I was the oldest). I love to go on walks, play fetch, and just about anything else that dogs love to do! Since I am a full-time teacher, I would be available during nights and weekends to watch and/or stay overnight with. Dogs are welcome in my home as long as they get along with other dogs. I have two dogs myself currently, a Boston terrier/boxer mix and a Chihuahua/terrier mix. I am caring, loyal, and flexible. I would love to meet you and your dog!
“Our dog had the best time with Sasha this week. She kept him busy, engaged, and entertained each visit. The daily reports were very detailed and enjoyable to read with plenty of pictures to view, which were always the highlight of my day. Sasha is very reliable, caring, conscientious, and easy to communicate with. I know my dog is already looking forward to another visit!”

About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. When I was young, I started a dog walking service with my friend, that lasted years. I started rover to earn extra income when I had my son, now 7. I would love the opportunity to make your pet a part time family member in our home and give you the reassurance your pet is happy and safe while you are away! I have a 12 year old, neutered male husky that would love a part time buddy, and a neutered male cat. If your little one doesnt like other pets, I can keep them separated, no problem! Your pup is only allowed on the furniture if YOU allow them to be! They are both great with cats and dogs. This gives me the opportunity to work on getting up and active through out the days I dont work. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! My child is in school for most of the day and I usually work a few days out of the week due to my online education needs, so I have the entire day to fit your care into my schedule. I allow animals to get comfortable on their own terms and am not pushy with them getting used to my presence. I enjoy playing and ensuring a clean, calm environment.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and have had always had a passion for being around dogs. I worked with them in my last job at a nursing home and seeing the difference they make, makes me so happy Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have afternoons available after my other job. This gives me time to care for pets, provide attention and companionship, and complete my schoolwork between visits. I’m organized and dependable, and I can plan my schedule around each pet’s feeding, playtime, walks, and other care needs. I also have two cats of my own, so daily pet care is already a regular part of my life. I care for pets by following their normal routine and paying attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I provide fresh food and water, playtime, exercise, companionship, litter-box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and send regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I have experience caring for cats belonging to family and friends, and I have two cats and a two-year-old dog named Kona of my own. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things clean, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away
About: I have been an emergency and critical care veterinary technician for 10 years so I’m very comfortable with senior pets or pets with medical needs. I work relief at two pet hospitals and have 3 children so no 2 days looks alike for me and that’s how I like it. I love to be outdoors and love finding new places to walk and explore with my little crew. I live in the country so my backyard includes trials, fields, and woods to play in. I also love to travel so I know how stressful it is to leave your pup with someone else so I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures and as many updates as you’d like! I work relief/per diem at multiple emergency pet hospitals and I have 3 kids so not one single day looks like the next. My schedule is set about 2 months in advance so just ask about days you need! I have a very low key beagle and 3 small children that are good with dogs. We live in the county so there is lots of room and trails to explore.
About: I’m a former pet parent with over 20 years of experience raising rescues. I am missing the energy of dogs and cats and am here to give back to the community as an experienced caregiver. Experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and also cats. I currently work a part time schedule that allows for a lot of time for your pet. Also available for overnights in your home depending on the distance and availability. I keep a very clean home and a tidy yard for your pet. Crates are always welcome. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it sits up against a nice ravine. Happy to let roam in the yard on a rooted line or walk on the path to Peabody park.
About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sherwood is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $20 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 727 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sherwood. 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 Sherwood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
