About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet

Avery did a great job with our puppy Milo. He is just now learning how to walk on a leash. She persisted and took him to walk a couple of times. He is a little stubborn so I appreciate the effort to get him going!

Madison was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my two cats while I was away. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the trip, which gave me peace of mind and showed that my cats were happy and well cared for. I came home to two content kitties, and I would gladly book with Madison again.

Faith was super flexible with our last minute needs- our normal sitter was unavailable and left us in a bind, and with one of our cats on a daily med, we were worried to find someone. Faith was able to meet the need, and gave both our boys the love they needed (and deserve!) lovely to know we can count on her and would highly recommend. Might just need to make her our regular!

About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.

Jordan was the perfect pick to watch after our older cat who has specific needs. He was very responsive to her and kept to his schedule and natural rhythm the whole time we were away (8 whole days). She followed through on all requested tasks. Her reports were detailed and she took good clear pictures. We felt that we could relax on our vacation with Jordan caring for our fur baby. We would definitely be interested in requesting her services for future trips.

About: I have taken care of dogs since i was little. My friend has had a few dogs and i loved helping out with training and taking care of them! In the photos added on my profile are some of the pets that i either have or have taken care of multiple times over the years!! My schedule is very flexible. With summer coming around my job is out in hold due to schools being closed for summer break!! I do work part time but the job is very flexible! I have a yard with 2-3 leashes outside at a time. they are anchored to a lead from house to tree. (it is very sturdy). I also have a 15 foot leash wrapped around a tree in the middle of my yard for more hyper and energetic dogs!

Charlene was wonderful! Today was her first time taking care of our Jack, including walks and feeding him dinner. She was punctual, followed the instructions we left, played with him, and provided us with updates every step of the way! Charlene- you are a natural. Thank you for easing our worries while we were away today and keeping our boy happy. <3

Tirzah was absolutely fantastic with Chorizo! From the initial meet and greet all the way through the scheduled drop-in, their communication was excellent — always prompt, clear, and reassuring. I could tell Chorizo was in great hands. I appreciated the update and photos, and it was obvious they genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Taftville on Rover is $27.75 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,449 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Taftville. 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 Taftville 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.

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 Taftville 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Taftville 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 Taftville. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
