About: I have taken care of pets for family and friends that have trusted me to do it. I had taken care of many types of dogs. I have also taken care of farm animals such as goats, cows, and chickens. I have a lot of time outside of school because I have a modified schedule and I am very flexible in my time and care. I have three dogs and one tortoise. I have also cared for cats at other homes and have had no issues at all in doing so.
“Valerie sat for us last summer vacation and this one as well. She is an exceptional caretaker who goes above and beyond caring for your fur babies and home just as you do. She provided us with detailed daily updates and photos for extra piece of mind while away. We are so thankful to have found someone so trustworthy and reliable. As is our Luci who adores Valerie and all of her rubs and treats. We highly recommend Valerie and her services!”
About: hello! my name is Carrington. I'm 28 years old. I have a 5 year old husky mix named Shadow. I love animals and always have had them growing up. As a little girl when I lived in Michigan, I used to walk the neighbor's dogs. I even babysat my friend's dog and her puppies while on vacation because she only liked me and allowed me and her family near her and the puppies. I love playing at the dog park with my dog, training, going for walks, and just overall spending time with dogs. Honestly, I spend more time with my dog than most people. if you are interested in me walking your dog or taking care of your dog please message me! I hope you have a great day :) I am currently not working and going to school full time (online zoom classes) so I am available usually anytime :) my classes are on Tuesday’s and Thursday from 6pm-7pm I will make sure to keep your house the way it was, if not better. If I am staying at your house I will make sure to clean up after myself and your dog if there is a mess.

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I have a pit bull/Lab mix of my own, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I've also cared for my nanny family's dog, so I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with routines, and giving medications if needed. I'm happy caring for pets of any age or size. I decided to join Rover because I'm looking for a summer job doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I know every pet has their own personality, so I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up at their own pace. I'll treat your pets the way I'd want someone to treat my own, with lots of care, attention, and love. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'm always happy to send pictures and check in while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available most days of the week, including weekends. I happily accept same day bookings whenever possible and can often accommodate last minute requests! I currently reside in a two bedroom apartment that i can assure you is taken care of and clean! I have one very friendly dog to keep your baby company! She has plenty of treats and toys she'd love to share! I also have a crate available for your dog if they would need it!

My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐾 I work Monday–Friday from 9 AM–5 PM, but I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine when booking! For house sitting, I can use my lunch break to check in on pets when needed, and I’ll communicate with you about their schedule and care needs ahead of time I do my 100% best to mimic the care and routine your pets are used to at home. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm companion, medication reminders, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll do my best to make their time away from you feel comfortable and stress-free. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing how your pet is doing and that they’re being cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Spencer is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $23 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 1,780 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Spencer. 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 Spencer. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
