“Alema is very organized and thorough- and the pups loved her! She’s a great communicator and kept us updated on how things were going, along with sending pictures.”
“Another great experience having Susan watch our cat, Steve! He’s always happy and healthy when we return and the house is as we left it (or better!). Would recommend Susan to anyone!”
“Bali did a great job with Georgie. She made sure to reach out with any questions and sent some of the most beautiful pictures of him and their play time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“It’s so important for pet parents to have confidence that our little guys are being cared for while we’re away. Happily, my experience with Sydney was excellent! My cat was calm and relaxed when I got back after 2 days, and the eating area and cat box were clean and tidy. She even reported a possible problem with the heat, which fortunately was taken care of, and I appreciate this conscientious attitude. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust my cat’s care to Sydney again.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“Thomas has entertained our young puppy “Grover” for three busy days for our household. He has quickly become one of Grover’s favorite humans. Thomas responded to our initial request very promptly, came by for a meet & greet with Grover and gave us back a happy and tired puppy three days in a row!”
About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Years ago, I worked as a vet tech, where I gained valuable experience caring for pets, understanding their needs, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in unfamiliar situations. I currently live with my two dogs (Merle and Penny) and cat (Rue), and I truly consider them family. In my free time, you’ll almost always find me spending time with my animals, whether that’s going on hikes, playing by the river, or just spending time together at home. I have also had the privilege of fostering dogs and am currently fostering kittens, which has given me even more experience caring for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your family members. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, extra attention and affection, medication support, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I treat every animal as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I work Monday through Thursday, but I am available for drop-in visits throughout the day and evening depending on your pet’s needs. I have more open availability Friday through Sunday and am happy to provide walks, drop-ins, and extended care during those days. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to work with owners to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my previous experience as a veterinary technician, I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health needs, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I have also fostered dogs and currently foster kittens, giving me experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I take pet care seriously and will treat your animals with the same patience, attention, and care that I provide to my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands while you’re away.
“Hayley took time to schedule a meet and greet with Rocky and I before scheduling our first visit to make sure it was a good fit for both of us. She took as much time as needed to answer all of my questions. Her first time watching Rocky was great. On time, communicative, and a happy dog.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from boxers, doodles, mini schnauzers, King Charles cavaliers, and spaniels. I understand all animals have their own little quirks and preferences! I’m detail oriented and happy to follow instructions to care for your babies and your home like I would my own. I’m a mom so I’m always out running errands. Drop ins are easy for me to accomplish while I’m out doing my normal day to day life. I work from home so I can easily alter my schedule if needed. I work from home so I spend a lot of time with my fur babies! I have a fully fenced yard and my cat and dog are both indoor outdoor animals who can go where they’re please during the day, including under my feet at my desk or walking across my keyboard!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Skyland is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Skyland
I wish I could give Sandra more than 5 stars. She took such great care of my sweet baby cat and loved on her with the same attention as I do. She provided excellent updates and stayed for the entirety of the time she was booked for (I have not had that same experience with a few other Rovers). I will absolutely book Sandra again for my pet-sitting needs in the future.
I deliberated for quite a while on a sitter for my guinea pigs and am so glad I chose Julie! I have one outgoing piggie and one shy piggie yet both my guys were comfortable with Julie right away. That made a big impression on me! Both my boys seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. I appreciated how Julie did a great job following the pig care directions I left. Everything was neat and tidy when I arrived home (piggie care can be messy!) and she even washed out my recyclable bags that hold my guinea pig vegetables and hung them to dry. A sweet little bouquet of hand picked flowers greeted me upon my return. What a great first experience with using Rover!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Luke! He is truly a dog person who goes above and beyond. From the very beginning, he’s been incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with my dog Lobo who generally prefers women over men. But my dog has easily and quickly adjusted to Luke’s visits. What really stands out to me is his ability to read dog behavior and understand what they’re communicating. He takes time to meet them where they are, respect their personality, and boundaries and never rushes him. Having Luke come by and seeing how he’s been with Lobo has been such a relief to me while I’m at work. And when I say he goes above and beyond….. he even rolled my garbage can in after he knew I had a long day of work and was coming home in a rainstorm. I honestly can’t recommend Luke enough. I’m truly grateful to have him to care for my dog! 🐾❤️
Josh was great! He was able to keep my cat Tommy well fed and entertained on a consistent basis while I was away. I appreciate his willingness to take care of him for almost a months I would definitely recommend him and hope to book him again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Skyland is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $38 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 1,135 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Skyland. 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 Skyland. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
