“Payton did a wonderful job with the drop in visit for our kitty! He isn't usually fond of strangers but took right to Payton, which shows how much of an animal lover she is! She followed our directions perfectly and we would 100% book her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our two cats and Sammi was amazing. One needs daily medication (and LOTS of attention) and Sammi made sure to send us lots of pictures and let us know how they were doing. She was also understanding and flexible as our booking needed multiple edits. 10/10 would highly recommend to others.”
“Marissa does a great job handling my 5 girls. 4 take medication and 3 are terrible about eating when mama isn’t home. She takes on the challenge and my girls seem very happy with her! I will continue to rebook as long as she is available!”
About: I started dogsitting in college and have loved it ever since! I have experience with both small and large dogs and will tailor my services to their needs. I am available for walks around lunch, with my main availability being after 5 pm. Weekends are more flexible, with my main availability being in the morning. I am currently available for drop-ins and walks. I will cater to your pet’s needs and am flexible with my schedule dependent on what is best for them.
“Savannah is great and provides drop in visits for my cat Lucy. She is reliable and easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend her services and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Stephanie is a reliable and amazing pet sitter. She is very responsive and attentive to details. I trust her to take care of my dog and cats for multiple days. She also gives great updates!”
“Alaska helped from the beginning when I was confused entering the dates I needed for my cats. She was very reliable taking care of my three cats, even with a snowstorm changing her schedule. I received daily reports and pictures of Buster, Mr. Friendly. No sightings of Spots, but I warned her of that. They were cared for, well fed, and scooped up after, and unfortunately had to have some barf cleaned off the floor. Thanks for taking good care of the cats.”
“Alicia was great to work with. Very flexible with times and dates. She was extremely communicative, great with our cats, and extremely trustworthy. We will definitely book her in the future!”
About: I've had experience with puppies to powdered sugar muzzles and from <10lbs to 100+! High energy or a friend who loves a nap, I'll do by best to help your dog have a good time even when you aren't there for the fun. I'm currently a graduate student on summer break with a pretty open schedule. I may pick up a more traditional hourly job on the side, but I'm excited for the opportunity to stay busy over the summer and meet some amazing people and pets while I do it. As I have pets of my own who are a bit easily stressed, I do not offer services where your pet will be in my home. However, I have no issues coming to you! In your home, I will be calm and respectful and don't mind cleaning up any messes your pet may have made.
“McKenzie took wonderful care of our dog Nala while we were away for the weekend. She communicates well, responds quickly, and sends lots of pictures. Absolutely will be booking with her again for our further trips. You can trust that your fur babies are in excellent hands with her!!”
“I had a great experience with her as Bobby’s sitter. She was thorough, attentive, and followed all of my care instructions. It was clear that she genuinely understands cats and their behavior. Bobby approached her almost immediately and quickly took a liking to her. He loved playing with her, and I really appreciated that she spent quality time keeping him company during each visit. Knowing he was getting attention and interaction—not just food and litter care—gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She also went above and beyond by helping feed the feral cat that regularly visits my front door, which I really appreciated. After every visit, she left detailed notes and updates in the Rover app, so I always knew how Bobby was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable cat sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have owned cats for nearly 8 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and energy. Some pets want play and need lots of attention, while others need space and patience. Rest assured, I’m comfortable adjusting to both! I also have hands-on experience giving medication to both cats and dogs, including daily care for my diabetic cat and my dog with her regular medication dosages. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and, of course, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, or just keeping them company! I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to be available for drop-in visits, walks, and extended care throughout the week and weekends. I am currently taking classes, so my routine is consistent but adaptable. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs and stick to their usual schedule. Whether that means regular walks, feeding times, or check-ins, I make sure your pet gets reliable and consistent care. I focus on providing drop-in visits to keep your pet comfortable, and I am very dependable with schedules to make sure your pet stays on their normal routine.
“Arabella was great! She was conveniently close to where I lived and was amazing with my pup Leo. She also was helpful and willing to clean his crate out when he had accidents. I know that’s expected/part of the job but still can not be fun obviously.”
“Phenomenal sitter; was very attentive to details and cared deeply about ensuring our pets were happy and well-cared for. She reached out to us regularly with updates and photos, which were very well done, and inquired about how to help our more anxious pets as it was needed. We greatly appreciated her help and felt at ease knowing she was looking after our pets.”
“Taylor was amazing with my two dogs, Lucy and Mia. She was very in tune with their needs and recognized when Mia was feeling anxious and immediately let me know that Mia was a bit stressed out. She did an amazing job. I highly recommend her!”

Payton was perfect! Our dogs and cat were in great hands while we were on vacation. Our pitbull, Bella, is a little nervous with strangers and Payton and even came out to our house to meet her before we left town. Bella warmed up to her and I think that just shows how good with animals Payton is. She came to the house 3 times a day just as we discussed! Would definitely hire her again🩷
Anna has consistently demonstrated not only her passion but her love for caring with every interactions with Holly. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind human being to care for my little girl. Thank you for being flexible and communicating with me — I appreciate you greatly!
Katy is professional, knowledgeable and dependable. She always does a great job handling our 3 cats. She is able to meet them at their various social levels from super friendly youngster, to mostly friendly teen to our older "seen it all and not impressed" cat.
Abby was incredibly sweet and communicated very well throughout the entire experience. She was wonderful with our older girl, Willow, and even sent us a picture to keep us updated, which I really appreciated since I tend to worry. We highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again.
Morgan responded quickly to my inquiry and was happy to help. When I needed to drop a day due to sickness she was accommodating and so nice about it. She was patient with me as I hadn’t updated my instructions like I meant to and still took care of everything I needed her to. I definitely will be hiring Morgan again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Star City on Rover is $19.98 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 277 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Star City. 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 Star City 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
