“Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience looking after my own pets as well as those of family members and friends! Over the years, I have provided a variety of pet care services, including taking pets on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and bathing them. My experience has helped me develop a strong understanding of pet needs and a genuine love for caring for animals! I'm available on weekdays from after 2pm and weekends! Feel free to please reach out even if it seems that I'm not available! I am pretty open unless I have another schedule / bookings. Please try to request a few weeks out so we can guarantee a meet & greet! I have a reliable transportation to go to farther places if needed. I have a fenced backyard for your pets to play in! I have a two story home that allows your pets to comfortably roam around. I currently have no personal pets residing in my house so I will be able to take care of your pet more properly one on one!

About: Hi, I’m Cameron. I’m a lifelong dog owner with a very flexible schedule this summer, and I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from large breeds like Rottweilers and Akitas to small ones like Chihuahuas and Mini Aussies. My own dog is a 12-year-old rescue Golden Retriever mix that I’ve had for a decade. Through caring for her, I've gotten very comfortable with senior dog care, administering oral medication, and adjusting to slower-paced routines. I know every dog is different. Some need a good long walk to burn off energy, while others just want a quiet companion and a slow walk around the block. I’m patient and calm, which tends to work really well with dogs that are a bit timid or slow to warm up to new people, especially men. As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is very open and flexible. I have full availability throughout the day, evenings, and weekends between 11am and 10pm, allowing me to provide consistent care and companionship when your dog needs it most. I live in Union City and have my own reliable transportation, so I can easily travel to your home anywhere in the area. Because I am not tied to a typical 9-to-5 office routine, I can offer your pet more than just a quick check-in—I am available for extended walks, midday play sessions, or simply staying present to keep a senior dog or anxious pup company (~30 minutes, if needed). Whether you need a regular weekday routine or last-minute weekend help, I can easily integrate your pet’s needs into my day. Safety and reliability are my top priorities. As a longtime rescue owner and university professional, I treat every pet with the same vigilance and care I give my own. In Your Home & On Walks: I am a respectful guest and a focused handler. I provide my own reliable transportation and come prepared with spare leashes and waste bags. During walks, I am hyper-aware of surroundings to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. In My Home: My environment is fully pet-proofed and secure, featuring a fenced-in yard with no environmental risks. Because of my flexible summer schedule, your dog will enjoy constant supervision and a calm, climate-controlled space to relax. Trust & Communication: I strictly follow all care instructions—from meal timings to medication—and provide regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been dog sitting for our neighbors and friends for the past 12 years. I am experienced with handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I am used to medicating pets, both my own and for the ones I am temporarily taking care of. I have volunteered with the Humane Society at different stages in my life and have fostered dogs and cats with them. I am now in a situation where I have a house and yard big enough to enjoy the company of more dogs or cats. I love animals and have two dogs and a cat. I work from home and can devote 100% attention to the animals I am taking care of. I work from home at least 4 of 5 days. I go on 30-45 minute walks twice every day and my puppies get access to our yard throughout the day. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time. I have a fenced yard that the puppies have access to during the day. They are never left outside unattended and will be always accompanied by a human. I also have doggie crates and beds inside the house if that's what the puppy prefers. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time.

About: Hello! My name is Estelle. I’m a recent Environmental Studies graduate, and I love taking care of dogs (or any animal, really!). I have been dog sitting & walking for the past 7 years. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Pitties, weenies, doodles, iggies, bullies, poms, you name it! I am attentive, and keep a close, caring eye on any pups I look after. They receive lots of affection and play time (as much or as little as you request). I'm able to handle most special circumstances, such as house training and administering medication. I have my own vehicle, and I make sure to be available to you by phone and email during your dog(s) stay. My goal is to keep your pup safe, sound, and smiling while you are away from your furry pals. I look forward to meeting them!

About: Hi there! Ive spent a lot of time volunteering at the Hayward Animal Shelter, so I've cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, from energetic younger ones to calm senior pets. I’ve also had pets all my life and have been pet sitting for quite a while so im very confident in handling different personalities and needs, and i love making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My experience with many animals gave me the skills to give ur pet the extra attention and care they would need! Im currently doing online school for about 2 hours a day but aside from that, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’ll be able too around your schedule to make sure your pet gets the love and care that they need:) I make sure your fur babies feel safe, happy, and especially comfortable in my care. I give them lots of attention and let them roam around with me if they want inside or outside. My home has a doggy door connecting the house, garage, and backyard, so dogs can go outside whenever they like. My home is also very secure with cameras for extra safety!! I offer hair brushing, doggy showers, teeth brushing upon request, toys, and plenty of different types of treats. Weather at your home or mine, I try my very best to create a fun, loving, and safe environment so every pet feels at home!

About: I’ve been the go-to dog person in my circle since I was 14, and I truly love it. I have hands-on experience with all kinds of pups, my current specialty is caring for high-energy and anxious breeds—think German Shepherds, working lines, and dogs who really keep you on your toes! I understand how to bring structure to chaos and calm to nerves, whether I’m helping a reactive dog settle into a new routine or making sure an energetic pup gets the physical and mental outlet they need. I’ve trained, walked, fed, bathed, and bonded with dogs of all ages, and I always tailor my care to what your dog needs to feel safe and happy. I’m currently working part-time and caring for my two dogs, Rory and Kiara, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins during the week. I’m available every weekday and Saturdays for drop-ins and walks. I’m not available on Sundays due to ongoing sport training with my German Shepherd, Kiara. I’ve got firsthand experience caring for and training high-drive, anxious, and strong-willed breeds—including my own! I prioritize structure, exercise, and emotional regulation, so your dog will be in confident hands. Since I currently have two dogs at home, I’m not accepting new dogs in my own space, but I’m happy to care for yours in an environment they already feel comfortable in!

About: Hi y’all! My name is Valeria :) I have 4+ years of dog walking, and pet caretaking. I started a small dog walking business 4 years ago, but only for family and friends. I am currently a veterinary technician, and have 1 dog of my own; Barry! Though he’s a small chihuahua/italian greyhound, he definitely acts like the opposite! I can care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, though I am small. I also am able to administer any medications needed, for senior dogs, adult dogs, and even puppies :). Please feel free to reach out, and thank you so much for reading this ⭐️ I’m currently working part-time, but I also am a student. I am available most weekdays in the afternoon for walks, and always take my clients for longer walks any time on Sundays! :) I do live in an apartment, but my balcony is closed off at all times. The potty area is just next to the stairs leading up to my apartment, so it won’t be a whole hike to go potty :)

I prioritize safety and care for every pet as if they were my own and love sending updates about your pet each visit.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sorenson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sorenson is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $43 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 14,218 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sorenson. 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 Sorenson. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
