“Baysia was an excellent communicator who kept me updated with detailed check-ins and photos. She seemed so sweet with my pups and it was clear they were comfortable with her. She was also incredibly flexible on short notice, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi future clients! * Just to let you guys know, I am currently boarding a cat until July 22! cat sitting or doggy daycare I grew up with having the pleasure of taking care of pet dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a love for animals, and had all kinds of pets from dogs, cats,hamsters and guinea pigs. I have experience from 2019-2020 in a CTE program in highschool for 2 years that I loved. I did farm work of taking care of all kinds of animals, horses, cows, to my kind teacher giving me one of the guinea pigs to take care of. I am grateful for the opportunity to take care of more beautiful animals. Communication is important for me, when it comes to my clients and the professional relationship. I am always home, so I have the room and schedule to accommodate my future clients. I have a baby girl named Karla and she is 1 year and 6 months who loves dogs and cats. My partner Allen works most nights while I am looking for clients. I am able to be flexible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community and follow all guidelines to ensure a safe and respectful environment for everyone. Dogs are always kept on a leash during walks, and I make sure to clean up after them promptly. I provide a calm, well-managed space and only accept pets that are friendly and comfortable around others to maintain a peaceful atmosphere.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner and animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was five years old. Animals have always been part of my family, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and respect to every pet I work with. I currently care for a senior dog, which has given me hands‑on experience with medication routines, mobility awareness, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand how important consistency and gentle care are especially for senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will not be left unattended and will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours! My Schedule & Availability The best part about booking with me? I’m home all day, every day. Your dog won’t be left alone waiting for someone to check in — they’ll have my full attention from morning to night. Whether it’s spontaneous playtime, an extra walk around the block, or just some couch cuddle time, I’m always here for it. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the household. My own pets help set a calm, welcoming tone, so most dogs settle in quickly and comfortably. A typical day includes: • Morning and evening walks • Midday play and enrichment time • Plenty of rest in a cozy, pet-friendly space • Regular feeding on your dog’s normal schedule • Daily photo and update messages to you

“Bianca has been nothing but sweet to our overly anxious girl! I’ve never seen my dog be so happy and ask someone to play so soon after meeting them. Would highly recommend!”
“Lesley was very gentle and loving to my babies, they loved her. She was very attentive when giving instructions about Brylee. She’s very kind hearted and friendly. Definitely using her as my dog sitter from now on.”
“Khea was awesome. Super trustworthy and was so caring to all my babies. Definitely went above and beyond while watching them. I would highly recommend and will rebook on the next needed occasion.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, including pets who require extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic medications, routines, and giving pets plenty of affection while keeping owners updated. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets and home. 🐾💕 Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making time for furry friends! I’m available Monday through Wednesday with flexible scheduling, plus Saturday and Sunday evenings after 6 PM. Whether your baby needs a potty break, a relaxing walk, feeding, playtime, or some extra TLC, I’m happy to help! 🥰 I do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine because consistency makes for happy, comfortable pets. 🏡✨ 💕 Your babies’ safety, happiness, and comfort are ALWAYS my priorities! As a proud mama to three dogs and a cat, I know every pet has their own personality, needs, and little quirks! 🐶🐱 I even have a three-legged Golden Retriever, so I understand the extra patience and attention some furry friends may need. 🦴 I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise. 📸 Expect sweet photo updates and little “pupdates” throughout our time together! 🏡 Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll respect their boundaries, maintain a clean environment, and make sure they feel safe and loved. My goal? For you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. 💖
“Did a great job with my cat even though she is very scared of strangers, especially appreciate that Randi cleaned up any messes and fed the stray cats outside like we usually do :)”
“This was my first time ever hiring a pet sitter and Joshua absolutely exceeded all my expectations. He was thorough and prompt and always let me know what was going on with Nelson. I had high anxieties and he eased them tremendously. I cannot recommend Joshua enough! Dude is wonderful at this.”
“Stephanie took great care of my cats during a recent trip! I appreciated her looking into their profiles before we even met, asking questions when needed, and figuring out a different way to medicate one of the kitties when he gave her a hard time at first. Timely drop-ins and cute photos also helped! My partner and I came home to the apartment looking exactly like we’d left it and chill, well-cared-for kitties who’d been lacking nothing but their humans.”
About: I have experience with dogs from since I was a kid. I see them as my own child. I have been through all their stages, puppy, adult and senior. I have a pup of our own at home. He is completely trained and vaccinated! I work from home all day, so the pups would have someone home all the time! Monday through Sunday works for me. I also work just 10 minutes away, so I can drop in whenever! I can care for your pets in our secure, fully fenced home where they’re treated like part of the family. Every guest enjoys a clean, comfortable space with plenty of room to play, consistent feeding schedules using the food you provide, fresh water at all times, and regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime suited to their energy level. They’ll have cozy sleeping arrangements and all the affection they could ask for, and because I limit the number of pets I host at a time, your furry friend always gets the individual attention they deserve. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Our first time using Rover and gosh did we luck out! Brittaney was a fantastic sitter for our two kitties, it was clear right from the start that she was a great fit and she went above and beyond to look after Bellatrix and Albus, and kept us updated all the way to make sure we knew they were taken care of. Thanks again and we will definitely be booking again in the future!!”
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was in high school and pursued a career in Veterinary Medicine up until I switched careers in grad school. I worked at the Philadelphia Zoo for 4 years, have trained service dogs in college, as well as cared for various domestic, farm and exotic animals. Although I switched careers, I’ve become the go to person for dog sitting and have been told by multiple people that I’m the only person they trust their family (pets) with and their dogs always come home with good spirits after spending time with me! As an entrepreneur my schedule is super flexible and I work from home most times, which means frequent potty breaks, monitoring and playtime. Although I’m not a trainer, I do practice positive reinforcement & soft skills if I have your pet for an extended period of time. I’m excited to get to know your pet! I’m a full time entrepreneur so I make my own schedule, have flexible work hours and work from home majority of the time. I’m also very active, so getting outside for long cardio, outside of potty breaks, is expected! The first thing I like to do when caring for pets is “dog-proofing” in the way someone would do for children. That means ensuring nothing of importance or anything that can be harmful to your pet is easily accessible. I also have a camera inside so I can check in if I have to step out.
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover since I was very little, being around them brings me so much joy. I say hi to every dog and cat I come across, even lizards too. I have dog sat for a few friends and family. They say I’m their first choice in asking to dog sit because the animals love me and I’m fun! I love going on long walks or even short ones with pups and have even had two at a time. I love playing and cuddling with cats too. I have 2 cats of my own, Turnip and Rhubarb, that are amazing little best friends. I had a Pomeranian that lived to be 18.5 years old so I have experience with older pets and their ailments. I also adore puppies and kittens, I love their energy and of course cuteness! Id love to be your pets’ new best buddy! Im currently in school for PT Tech so my weekdays are pretty open while doing a but of school everyday. I help with my elderly grandparents once a week for a few hours usually wednesdays. But I will know each week which day that will be. I am a trustworthy pet advocate with two free range cats in my home that do not go outside. I’m great with certain and/or detailed feeding instructions. I had a Pomeranian that lived to be 18.5 years old that took meds every day and was on a special diet. I will play with and entertain your pet while on visits but also relax too if they need that as well. I’m calm around all animals no matter the situation.
About: I live in the museum district area with plenty of free time on my hands as I work from home. I am a seasoned foster mom with loads of experience from neonates to seniors! My former career was in the animal rescue world. I’d like to continue working with and hanging out with animals. I am experienced in giving medications, injections, fluids, etc. Both of my senior cats get medication/fluids/injections on the regular! Working with a lot of dogs during my career, I am comfortable and knowledgeable with dogs that may be reactive, have stranger danger, or other behavior needs that need special care. I know how hard it can be to leave town or even be gone for the whole day missing your pets - I would love them just as much as my own and make sure all their needs are met. I have open availability and will block off any days that I am not available! I do allow same day bookings as well as recurring walking/check in times. During housesitting, I like to keep the animals routine as close to normal as possible to decrease any stress. I am very respectable in others homes and make sure to follow any requests/rules! I frequently have house-sitters watch over my pets when I am away, and I know the anxieties that can come with that. I like to be as upfront and trusting as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunny Side
Olivia was a wonderful pet sitter and was generous in her time and affection with our two cats and dog. Even the more timid ones came out to catch a pet. She did a good job keeping them fed and the house clean, and always sent over prompt updates after each of her visits to make sure we knew she stopped by.
Great experience with Adriana! It was my first time using Rover and she was very flexible and willing to modify the booking as needed. During the visits, she was on time, very patience with my dogs, and kept me informed on how they were doing. They dogs loved her!
Jennifer has been an absolute gem with our pups. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We always get thoughtful updates and come home to happy, well-looked-after dogs. She’s upfront about her schedule, easy to coordinate with, and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is squared away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.
Annie was a lovely sitter for my best friend while I was on vacation for an entire week. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she followed all of my very detailed instructions. My dog is truly my child and I never worried once while she was with Annie. My dog got tucked in every night with a toy, I got many pictures and updates, and Annie was reliable and timely. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunny Side is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 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 6,267 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunny Side. 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 Sunny Side. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
