“Dani cared for our cat, Luna, while we were out of the country. We were worried about leaving Luna for so long since she's such a social cat, but Dani kept her safe, fed, happy, and loved while we were away. We enjoyed receiving daily updates with lots of photos. We will definitely reach out to Dani for our future pet sitting needs and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible and responsive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Dani!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I strive to make your pet’s routine as seamless and stress-free as possible while you're away. I am completely comfortable with anxious pets and well-versed in administering both pill and topical medications. Whether it’s stimulating walks, endless affection, or gentle patience, your fur babies will receive the exact level of love and dedicated care I give my own girls.

As a dog and cat owner myself, my pets always come first—and while your sweet baby is in my care, I will treat them with the exact same love and dedication. I provide personalized, gentle care tailored specifically to your pet's routine in the comfort of their own home. Being away from family can be stressful for our little dudes, so my top priority is making my visits a fun, stress-free highlight of their day, giving your pets extra love and giving you complete peace of mind.

She was reliable, followed all feeding and walking instructions perfectly, and most importantly, Luna seemed very happy and well-cared for when I returned. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to look after your pets, Desiree is an excellent choice.”

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life from cats to dogs to toads, I love them all. Over the years I have always had indoor cats and dogs in my care that have ranged in age from newborn to senior, energetic to unwell and everything in between. When I’m not caring for my pets or others, I’m a work from home artist and volunteer at the humane society as a foster and dog walker. Take comforting in knowing I would treat your best friend right. Currently I work from home as an artist (predominantly pet portraits) and can set my own schedule leaving me with ample availability for bit time or day and days throughout the week. I have a three acre yard with a large fenced in area, my dogs are extremely friendly and there is lake access that my own dogs use for swimming very often

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday, so im available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Swansea on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 2,248 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Swansea. 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.

  • 89% 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 .

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.
