About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

About: Currently grieving my fur baby Wilfred and looking to pet sit to feel some light again without commitment. My family is made up of very well known veterinarians in Nicaragua. Our bloodline has always provided animal care for different pets such as horses, chickens , geese, cats , goats and cows. We are a family that loves animals and will be excited to take care of yours ! I work a hybrid job and share sitting with my partner which makes caretaking easier and safer for everyone involved. I grew up with always having a dog at each point in my life, so I am well aware of all the responsibilities needed to maintain a healthy, safe and happy pup! I have a fenced yard , a nearby park , and no pets as my dog passed May 14 2026 . I am at home with my boyfriend and a roommate in the garage that is a long time friend of my parents. My boyfriend works from home and loves animals. My roommate has a farm of his own and has taken care of animals plus is a dog enthusiastic. My parents approve and support my decisions as a dog care giver and assist me as well.

About: I'm an animal lover who has had two dogs and three cats as pets over the past 25 years. Currently, we (me, my wife and our 14-year-old son) have one indoor/outdoor cat. Since I work from home full time and set my own schedule, I am in a position to care for, watch and entertain your animal in my home while you are away. I take my lead from you, the pet owner, and will tailor my care for your animal in whatever way that will make you feel the most comfortable. I will only book one dog per day for boarding or doggy daycare so that I can focus solely on your pet and make sure that they are happy, healthy, comfortable, exercised and well taken care of. I'd be happy to take a second dog from the same home, however, so that animals in the same family can stay together.

About: Hi there! I've been an animal lover since I was very young, and that passion led me to study 3 years of veterinary medicine and complete a veterinary assistant course. I combine that technical knowledge with a caring, detail-oriented approach to give your pet the care it deserves. I'm currently building my own pet care business, and I'd love to be part of the trusted team of people who look after your furry friend while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality and energy level, so I offer a personalized experience tailored to what each furry companion needs to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I'm available 7 days a week, since I'm 100% dedicated to pet care. This allows me to offer flexible scheduling to fit each family's needs, whether it's for walks, visits, or care at any time of day. Trust and safety are at the core of everything I do. With my background in veterinary medicine and a veterinary assistant course, I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and respond calmly and responsibly. I'm committed to ongoing learning so I can always provide the best care possible, giving you peace of mind that your furry friend is safe and in good hands.

“Valentina provided exceptional care for my cat, Milan, while we were away for eighteen days. From the moment we met, her love for animals was evident. She took the time to understand Milan's routine and preferences, ensuring he felt comfortable and secure in our absence. Throughout our trip, Valentina sent regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Milan was happy and well-cared for. She went above and beyond, engaging him in play. It was clear that Milan had formed a bond with her, as he was relaxed and content upon our return. Her professionalism and attention to detail were impressive. Valentina maintained a clean environment and followed all instructions meticulously, making the entire experience stress-free for both us and Milan. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Valentina, for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!”

About: Dog Walker & Boarding – Loving, Safe, and Active Care Hi! My name is Agata and I live in the West Miami area. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of a Siberian Husky, so I understand the importance of giving dogs plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I grew up in a family where dogs, cats, and even horses were part of everyday life, which made me very comfortable handling animals of all sizes and personalities. Spending time with animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I love staying active and enjoy long walks, outdoor adventures, and bike runs with my dog. I’m experienced walking multiple dogs at once and always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and making sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I am also comfortable administering medications when needed and following any specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy. My family and I truly enjoy welcoming dog guests into our home. Every dog we host becomes part of our routine, receiving plenty of love, playtime, and attention in a calm and caring environment. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship during the day, or a safe place to stay while you’re away, I would be delighted to care for them and share joyful moments together. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog! 🐾 When your dog stays with me, they become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, activity, and care. The day usually starts with a morning walk, followed by playtime in the backyard so dogs can stretch, explore, and burn off some energy. During the day, they enjoy additional outdoor playtime in the afternoon, along with plenty of supervision, affection, and rest indoors. In the evening I take them for another relaxing walk, helping dogs settle comfortably for the night. Feeding is always done according to the owner’s instructions, including specific schedules, portions, or dietary needs. I’m also comfortable administering medication when required. I also make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while staying with us. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay like a little vacation while you have peace of mind knowing they are in caring and attentive hands. Safety, Trust & Comfortable Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and fresh air. For the well-being of all pets, I also have the ability to separate small and large dogs both in the yard and inside the home when needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Dogs sleep in a clean, quiet, air-conditioned room specially designated for my dog guests, creating a calm and comfortable place for them to rest. I also have experience caring for dogs who are sensitive to storms or loud noises, and I provide a calm environment with extra reassurance during stressful moments. My goal is to create a safe, peaceful, and trustworthy space where every dog feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like a special guest in my home, providing attentive care, a calm environment, and plenty of love during their stay.

About: I have experience with many different size and age dogs, since I have a big dog family at home. This comes with a lot of training as well. I’m very active, so I love to go on walks and runs with my dogs. I am a student, but my schedule is mostly flexible. I do spend some time at home and the time I’m not home, I’m in class. The weekends are free for me. I live in a pet-loving home, so there is no stress having a guest over! Dogs can be in their cage or if it is more comfortable to be without a cage that is perfectly fine as well. I also have the option of boarding or day care without my dogs.

Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Sweetwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Sweetwater is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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 5,451 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sweetwater. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sweetwater choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Sweetwater with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sweetwater. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.

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.
