About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Friends, family, and members of my community have trusted me to help care for their pets when they are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing the same level of care that I would want for my own pets. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule during the summer. I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and leash requirements. I understand that every pet is different, and I will take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I will also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

About: I've been walking dogs since I was 15 years old, when I built my own client base doing walks and drop-in visits for families while they were away. That early experience taught me how to read a dog's personality fast and earn their trust from day one. Since then, I worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I learned a lot about dogs' medical needs — from spotting early signs something's off to understanding how to safely support pets with health conditions. I'm excited to get back to hands-on care and bring both my years of walking experience and my vet clinic knowledge to your pup. I'm off consistently on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so I have full flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. On the days I do work, my schedule can vary, but I'm reliably free by 5 pm at the latest — often earlier. I get my work schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I can confirm exact availability early and plan around recurring bookings easily. I keep a calm, consistent routine so pets feel comfortable whether we're in my home or theirs — sticking to their regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I'm comfortable administering basic medications, having done so for my own dog in the past, and my vet clinic background means I know how to recognize signs of illness or distress and when something needs extra attention. I'm also good at reading individual personalities and take extra care with shy or nervous dogs, since my own dog was the same way — I know how to build trust at their pace. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first.

About: I have had a dog for ten years and I am very familiar with dog body language and signals. I have taken care of dogs in Egypt and fed strays. I am a college student from Monday to-Thurs, so I have all the time on the weekend for pet care. During the weekdays I am free almost always after 4pm, except for thursdays. I can crate dogs if needed. For walks I will keep them on leash away from other dogs, unless given permission from you and other dog owner.

We used Lenny to take care of DJ over the Fourth of July, and we truly could not have asked for better care. During a thunderstorm, the power went out, and Lenny went above and beyond by bringing DJ a fan and a lantern so he wouldn’t be hot or left in the dark. Lenny was also looking out for us in every way possible. Our Jeep was parked under a tree that looked like it might fall during the storm, and she immediately called us to ask if we wanted her to move it to a safer spot. Knowing that someone cared for both DJ and our home as if they were her own gave us complete peace of mind. Lenny is reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly compassionate. DJ loves her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will go the extra mile for their pets.

Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!

About: I've taken care of dogs since high school, had my own 3 dogs at once from puppyhood through senior. I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 10 years and can handle small to large dogs. I'm highly reliable, kind and friendly to all animals and will walk your dog with care. I want you to feel good knowing your dog is taken care of. I work a full time job and volunteer on the weekends, but am available to drop in for potty breaks or feedings in the early evenings during the week. I do not have a yard, however, I can certainly drop in your home to feed, walk, clean up and hang out and spend time with them.

I am reliable, believe in clear communication and provide frequent picture updates to ensure that owners are comfortable knowing their pets are safe and happy under my care :) I’m in school part-time and my job is fully remote. I am pretty flexible with my time. Let me know what works best for you and your pet(s) — I’m sure we can figure something out! I treat every dog that I look after as if they were my own. I’ll make sure to build trust and give them all the extra love, cuddles, and attention while you’re away.

Sara is just the best. This was our first time using rover with our puppy and we were completely at ease knowing Sara was providing the best care for our pup. She gave updates and sent pictures, which we loved. We also do a lot of obedience training with our pup and Sara has experience with prong collars which was a huge plus for us!

About: I have such a big heart for animals and a connection to them with a passion for taking care of any type of animal! I grew up taking in rescues with my family at home. We have rescued a senior yorkie, four kittens, and a deaf kitty. I currently have one 4 year old maltipoo at home and one goldfish! In the past we had fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and lizards at home. Throughout the years I love participating in anything involving innocent fur babies. For two years I pet sit my sisters french bulldog with GI issues and my brothers cat. At the same time I was in a P.A.W.S (protecting animals without stability) club in high school. I currently volunteer at two animal shelters since 2022. After high school I pursued an associates degree in Biology while participating in a veterinary assistant program. I graduated the program and continued on to getting my first full time job at a veterinary hospital as an approved veterinary assistant! Therefore, I have knowledge on animal anatomy, sickness and care procedures. I plan to complete my Biology degree while working full time and helping to take care of your fur babies 💗 I am currently in school pursuing a science degree while working part time at a hospital. I pet sit, house sit and dog walk. I am available weekdays and weekends for any help you need with your fur babies. I am very flexible and work around school to continue my passion of animal care. I will make sure to socialize and spend quality time your pets. I will take them on energetic walks and make sure they are fed and comfortable!

About: I've always been a lover of dogs so I thought why not earn money doing something I really enjoy doing. I have a ten year old daughter who is also a dog lover. Between the two of us your dog will get a lot of attention. Another member of the family is Lily our beagle. We adopted her from Happy Paws Rescue a year and a half ago. She is the sweetest dog who is great with people and other dogs. Her tail is always wagging. She loves to snuggle on the couch with me at night when I watch TV. I have a great big fenced in yard that any dog would love to run around and play in. So if your looking for a safe and dependable sitter for your dog you've found her.

This was the first time I ever used Rover so I was a little nervous. Adriane set me at ease by setting up an initial time to meet in person before moving forward. And of course, I felt very comfortable upon our meet. From there, Adriane was so fantastic with Millie. She sent me updates and many photos daily. She even made homemade treats for Millie (after checking with me of course) and I just felt Millie was really being loved up while we were away. I will absolutely ask Adriane for her availability in the future. I know Millie will miss her now that we are home from our 3 week vacation. I wish she could still come visit her everyday!

Look no further—Yvette is simply the best! What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and dedication she shows. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were their own, and that truly makes all the difference. Yvette has been caring for my dog for over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding, reliable, and compassionate pet care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Spotswood on Rover is $31.08 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 8,371 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Spotswood. 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 Spotswood 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Spotswood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Spotswood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spotswood. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
