“Kasie took wonderful care of our cat Charlie over three visits. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in good hands. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Stephanie was amazing on multiple occasions watching my Willow (Doberman Pincher). She was attentive, kept me updated always and played with her during our times away. Even with feeding her her raw food, it was never an issue. I wouldn’t use anyone else honestly. Also very trustworthy overall. Great person and even better dog sitter!”
“Cindy was great! She got along with my anxious boy very well. This was my first time using rover and she made sure I was informed of how it works and kept me up to date on my dogs and took pictures.”
“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since I was a child. Each dog is the best dog and deserves the entire world. I will treat yours as if they are my own. They are precious and incredible creatures that we should cherish. I’ve fostered and cared for dogs from puppies to elderly dogs with significant health issues and loved them all. I work part time so I am flexible and happy to spend time with your creature friends whenever is convenient. Just let me know what times are best and we will work it out. I am happy to follow all house rules and care for your dog in whatever way you would like me to. Walks and playtime are always a joy.
About: I’ve had a pet my whole entire life from cats, dogs and more. My neighborhood is friendly and open for walks and fields for playing. I cherish animal love so much because they’re so innocent and cute. I love cuddling with them and running around in the backyard for fun. My siblings would love to have animals in my house everyday. Dogs are my absolute favorite and cats are just adorable !!♥️ I’m currently a stay at home mom with my 9 month old and my 2 siblings (7 & 10), who also LOVE animals (yes even the 9 month old..esp dogs). We can travel anywhere & they’ll be my little helpers throughout the week! I have a fenced in yard, leash’s, 2 amazing helpers who love animals just as much as i do! I’ve also taken care of animals all my life.
“Claire was amazing. My cat was very happy well fed and taken care of. She always kept me updated with plenty of pictures. I was perfectly happy with her service. Great job. I tipped her in cash. Would use her again.”
“Isabelle has helped us out with occasional drop-in visits for our small dog and she is great! Our pup has been well-cared for and Isabelle was even available on relatively short notice. She is very communicative and we will definitely hire her again!”
About: I can train puppies to sit, stay, potty train also. I have always been an animal lover and get along great with any type of dog. Your dogs will have access to my backyard at all times. I am available from 8am-10pm at my house with drop offs. If you need an overnight watch I need at 48 hr notice ahead of time. I provide walks and can help train them with harnesses or just a leash. I am close to a nature trail for great walks and nice dog accepted parks. I can do dogs nails, bathing and brushing as far as grooming goes. If you have any special request not listed I am flexible. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members. Thanks!
“Elise was amazing with the care of our pets. She was reliable and consistent and provided pictures every visit. She went over and above with her service and loving interaction with our dog and cat. We highly recommend Elise to anyone that loves their pets and wants the best care for them while you are away.”
About: Hey there! I’m Hannah - animal lover, and your pet’s next best friend. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly believe life is better with fur and paws! I’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and even looked after dogs who are blind or deaf — every animal is unique, and I love them all. Right now, I have two cats who keep me on my toes (and my lap), and I’ve had dogs of all sizes and personalities over the years. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or belly rubs on repeat, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away! Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a recent college graduate & I own my own business so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for most holidays also, if not they will be blocked out! Creating a safe and fun environment while pet sitting is very important to me. I love being able to provide play time for cats or dogs while I am watching them. As well as cuddle time if they’re one that likes to curl up in your lap.
“Phoebe was an amazing help for my puppy! She is dependable and sends lots of pictures. I love that she brought some new toys for our puppy to play with - just like my daughter used to do when babysitting! Phoebe was great at communicating and a really delightful person. She will be my first choice for future needs!”
“10000/10!✨ getting married in another state, gone for 4 days & 4 cats, plus one who medicated twice a day & she was there everyday, updates with tons of photos, she’s so sweet & made me feel so relaxed leaving all my babies with her. I would highly recommend her 🤍 I will be using her again”

She did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away on vacation. She was reliable, communicated well, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.
Lauri was wonderful to work with and gave me so much peace of mind ahead of my trip. She really used our time together to get to know my dogs, taking the effort to understand their personalities, routines, and needs. It meant a lot to see how invested she was from the start. She was always punctual and reliable, which made coordinating everything easy and stress-free. I also appreciated how she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about their care—it showed she genuinely wanted to do things the right way and make sure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. I felt very confident leaving my dogs with Lauri and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in South Rockwood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,960 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Rockwood. 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 South Rockwood 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 South Rockwood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
