About: I have a wide range of experience with dogs, cats, reptiles and small animals. I have owned cats, dogs, mice, rats, geckos, birds, fish, ferrets and rabbits. I currently have several cats of my own and they are treated like they are my kids. I have alot of experience with feral cats and cats with behavioral issues. I have a cat who is diabetic so I have experience in giving insulin shots. I also have experience with and own both FIV+ and FeLV+ cats. I have experience in medicating cats as well, as I have several on medication in my home. I work overnights Sunday through Thursday. I have my own cats and a few fosters, we have a set routine with breakfast and medications when I get home. In the evenings is playtime, social and cuddle time. Then before I go to work at night, they are all tucked in with a special treat before I leave. I like to stick to routine with my cats, it helps them feel safe and makes everything run smoother in a multi pet home. I am available in the evenings to help with your pet(s) Sunday through Thursday and on Fridays and Saturdays I have a very flexible schedule and can work with almost any times of the day/evening/afternoons. I also am available during holidays. I assure you your pet is safe in my hands. I do alot of work behind the scenes with friends in rescue and have alot of hands on experience with handling and caring for animals safely. My home environment is safe and clean. I am trust-worthy and kind, and I love all living things. I have to pass background checks for the type of work I do, so I have a clean background. I may be able to board cats on occasion under certain circumstances. If it is short term boarding, I have a nice sized bathroom that they could have the freedom of staying in there with me. I have leukemia positive cats in my home so this would keep them safely in their own area without exposure to my cats. They would have their own clean litter box and food bowls and lots of toys/and amenities will staying in the "Paula's luxury bathroom suite"!

This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)

Kristina was wonderful! She loved my dog and you could tell she loves all animals! My vacation was extended, unexpectedly, due to an hospital admission. and she even picked up the extra shifts which helped alleviate my stress immensely. So I highly recommend Kristina!

Kat was terrific to work with. She took the time to come over and meet our two bulldogs, so she and they were familiar with things. Kat even did things like keep the dog's play area picked up and safe, which was very kind of her to do. My wife and I travel several times a year and would absolutely use her again to sit for us.

Kody took care of my two pugs for almost a month and he goes beyond what I ask him to do, he walks them late night and played with them after, he is also very easy to talk to, willing to do stuff that is not part of the job. Definitely someone I will be calling again the next time I will go out of town. Thank you very much

About: I have, alongside owning pets, cared for many within and outside of my family for 6 years now. I know to care for dogs, cats, big and small. I can only do it mostly on weekends or early mornings on any other day. My days off from my regular job are Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday so if you need anything on those days then I am your gal! We take care of many pets in our home. We have 4 cats, and 5 dogs, one including a standard poodle but they have plenty of room in and outside of the house so they can have fun and roam!

I've used Michaela for years now and and not only do I trust her with my 4 cats, but my house as well. This last trip took 10 days and not only did she come in and feed, water, clean litter boxes, but also brought them new toys and treats, and made sure my house was presentable for prospective buyers.

About: I currently have my own pets that require varying levels of needs from upset tummies and picky eaters to highly anxious and severe food allergies: keeping your pet happy and healthy will be no different from the level of care my pets get at home! Medication schedules, allergies, or a full house of pets is no different from my day to day life! Before now, I have been in the Human Resources industry for 10 years, so you can also expect a highly optimistic, reliable, problem solver on your team! For house sitting, I stay home with your pets around the clock 💖 Please let me know if you can't find an affordable sitter for your loved ones and I'd be happy to find a solution that works for us! I currently can be very flexible and open! I'm available over the weekdays, weekends, and holidays as well! Let me know what you and your pets needs are and I'll always work to prioritize keeping you and your pets on the schedule you prefer! I believe the best care starts with trust. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and at ease in their own environment. Whether it’s quiet patience, playful energy, or gentle reassurance, I meet every animal where they are to create a calm, loving space they can rely on too. Please let me know what your pronouns are too in your first booking request! It's completely alright if you'd like to leave it out 😊

About: Hi there! I’m Anna, a lifelong animal lover and experienced sitter who knows how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just cozy naps, I make sure they get all the care, play, and affection they deserve. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts—and I always tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. Safety, consistency, and communication are my top priorities, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing with plenty of photo updates and messages. Let’s make sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away! I do currently work full time but spend evenings and weekends at home. They will get plenty of love and affection while in our home. We have two huge dog toy bins for those who love toys! All animals will be treated like they are my own! We have a 6 foot wooden privacy fence with an huge back yard and an extra kennel if needed.

About: Hi, I am Tricia and i have had dogs all my life. I love pets very much and have worked at local animal shelters. Working in animal welfare has graced me with all sorts of experience with all types of animal behaviors and personalities. I also have lots of animal medical experience. I have worked with animals with aggression, separation anxiety, seizures, deaf, shy and fearful and much more. I can also medicate animals in any way needed. I am experienced in giving shots and pilling animals. Basic training is something I like to work on with all animals as I believe it helps them not only build their confidence but also keeps their mind busy and wears them out! Please let me know if I can help you out! I am currently working from home meaning I can spend tons of time with your pups staying at my home! We also love to go get pup cups often! I have a fenced yard and dogs that also love other dogs. My house is centered around dogs with lots of comfy beds, toys and other fun stuff!

Adrianna is awesome! Our cat had been a little sick recently and was on the mend after a vet visit. Adrianna was very communicative, giving us updates on our cat’s energy level and well being. It gave me such peace of mind while we were away.

I had a great experience with Jessica and would absolutely book with them again. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my cat’s comfort and well-being. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats were happy and well cared for when I returned, and everything was left clean and tidy.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sugar Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sugar Creek on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,743 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sugar Creek. 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 Sugar Creek 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 Sugar Creek. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
