“Debra did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitties while we were out of town! Even our extra shy cat seemed comfortable around her She was great a giving real time feedback & we would definitely use her again if needed.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and Alex went above and beyond for Summit. She sent photo updates during their walks and made sure he was completely taken care of. Our request was short notice but she made it happen. 10/10”
“Jenn was fantastic! We have a very nervous pup and she was kind enough to come do a meet and greet prior to help with that. Sounds like the visit went well - appreciated the detailed notes and were already booking or next one with her ❤️”
About: I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and family’s pets, and I’ve picked up a lot of expert tips along the way—thanks to my dad, a certified dog trainer. I work remotely from home, so your pet will never be left alone or bored. I offer a calm, attentive, and active environment where pets are not only safe and supervised, but also get plenty of exercise, play, and personalized care. Whether it’s energetic walks or cozy downtime, your pet will be treated like part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I take regular breaks throughout the day, which are perfect for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s a morning walk to start the day or a midday cuddle session, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, activity, and companionship. Being home full-time also means your pet will be closely supervised and never left alone for long. I’m home all day since my job is remote and have a fully fenced backyard where they can play and have outside time. My neighborhood is great for dog walks as well.
“Melissa and Dane are absolutely AMAZING! They saved us when we had to go out of town on such short notice. They are very responsive, kind and loving towards our dog and even bought her a toy (so sweet). I promise you will not regret having them take care of your pets ☺️”
About: I have grown up around and taken care of pets most of my life. I grew up with a loving golden retriever mix and an energetic cat named koda. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and enjoy taking them on walks, runs, and to the park to play fetch. I work Monday through Friday and may have availability after work around 5pm depending on your location. I am free most weekends on Saturday and Sundays. I am not able to house dogs at my home but can check in on pets and play with them or take them for a walk.
About: I've been a professional Dog walker since I was 18 years old, almost 20 years ago. For the past several years I have specialized in dogs that have aggression or behavioral issues. I have done house sitting, boarding and overnight at my clients houses. I looked after, Dogs, Cats, even Lizards and Fish for people on vacation. I look forward to walking your dog or helping with your animals while you enjoy a vacation. I plan on walking your dog for at least 40 minutes, not including pick up time. I start my picks every morning around 11am. Monday through Friday. I can walk weekends on special occasions. I will visit for house sitting up to 3 times per day. I limit my dogs walks to 6 dogs or less. I prefore Medium sized dogs and up, but i'm open the smaller dogs on a client by client basis. I will the dog solo to or 3 times before introducing him into the group. I want him to get used to me and see how he behaves at the dark park.
“Thank you, Ron and Monica, for taking wonderful care of our little Tiger girl. We cannot thank you enough for making sure she is secure, happy and well fed while we are out of town. And the fact that she is comfortable with you both--means so much to us. You are the best! :)”
“Atticus was great with taking care of our cats as well as being agreeable to taking care of non-pet related tasks such as taking out the garbage to the curb and bringing in packages. Atticus was communicative, agreeable to a meet and greet, and stuck to the care schedule. I would book with Atticus in the future and recommend others do the same.”
About: Hi! I’m Kari, an animal lover with a lifetime of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a 6 month old chocolate Labrador named Greta and two horses, and I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, fish, rats, cows, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and medication. I’m experienced with large breeds, high energy dogs, shy or timid pets, and reactive dogs that need a calm, confident handler. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed feeding schedules, medication routines, training plans, and any other instructions that help keep your pet happy and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! My schedule is open and flexible to care for your furry family member! I am open to short notice bookings and update my calendar for availability regularly. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. Whether we’re going on walks, playing fetch, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. You can also count on regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
“Sydney was amazing. It was love at first sight for me and my dog. She was so caring and compassionate. I enjoyed the pictures she sent to confirm he was doing good. I will have her come again next time.”
“Wendy was a huge help, checking on my dog while I was away. She sent me updates, let my dog out and fed her. I loved getting the photos of my dog on her play date! Wendy was a great sitter and I will certainly book her again in the future.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life (currently have 3) and I don't know what people do without them! You can trust that I will give your fur babies as much love and care as you do while you're gone. I can take them on walks, play with them, and take them to the park (if well trained). Your dogs will be entertained and treated with nothing but love! I’m currently in nursing school online and not working so I do have decent availability throughout the day. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door for my pups at home but do not offer any services to have other pups at my house currently.
“Teaira was reliable and clearly loves animals, and my standoffish cat immediately liked her when they were introduced. While on my vacation, Teaira gave me huge peace of mind that my cat was being taken care of by the right person.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Star
Kimberly was amazing. Dropped in morning and evening to feed/play with our dogs while we were out of town. Kept us updated with photos and via text message. I seriously have no faults on Kimberly and her service. She managed 4 complex doggos - one has cancer, one has wobblers syndrome, one is a puppy, and the other being the dominant leader of the pack. Highly recommend Kimberly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Star is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 1,502 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Star. 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 .
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 , 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 Star. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
