“First time with my Juno and all went well. Ken communicates well and clearly has a love for animals. My girl isn't always easy but the visits were successful. Great job, Ken!”
“Sarah is such an amazing sitter for our dogs. They absolutely love her and she does such a great job with them. She is so accommodating with her schedule and is very thorough. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a great and reliable sitter.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including raising my own dogs and caring for puppies, senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I currently have a 8 year yellow Lab named Nala. She’s sweet, affectionate and has just enough of the typical Lab troublemaker personality to keep things interesting! I’m comfortable following individual routines and giving each dog the patience and attention they need. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise and care they need while you’re away. I’m happy to adjust to what works best for them. Most importantly, I take being responsible for someone’s pet seriously. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own and I’ll make sure your dog is well cared for while you’re not there. I work full time during the week, but have the most flexibility on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule visits in advance so I can give each dog the time and attention they need. When I’m caring for a pet, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, nd well cared for. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine, whether that menas a walk, potty break, playtime, or simply some company.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog since high school and spent a full year training and caring for a puppy while nannying after college. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I truly miss having dogs around every day! As an elementary school teacher, I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines — whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or playtime. I’m an elementary school teacher with a consistent weekday schedule (7:30–3:30). While I’m at school during the day, I’m fully available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to give your pup lots of attention, walks, and love. I enjoy relaxing evenings at home, which makes house sitting a great fit for me, especially with a dog by my side! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise through walks, playtime, or fetch, while also respecting their routines and boundaries. I understand pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and love I would want for my own.
“Sydney did a great job visiting my cats twice daily during my vacation. She even learned to give Big Boi Peter his insulin shot! She is real cat lover too, and could not be more perfect to leave your fur babies with.”
“Kathleen is amazing and is so great with Artie! She gives him all the love and attention when we can’t be there and puts our mind at ease knowing he’s in good hands!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all different ages and breeds since I was little. I’m very patient, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I always want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! :) I’m a college student with morning classes and a part-time job, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I have plenty of room to fit pet care into my routine and would love to spend my free time hanging out with your furry friends! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime! I’ll follow your instructions, stick to their usual routine, and make sure they have everything they need while you’re away. I’ll also be respectful of your home and leave everything neat and tidy! :)
“We’re so grateful for Austin and his patience, care, and attention to detail for our dog. He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable, watered, pottied, and loved. We’ll be booking him again!”
“Allison was fantastic!! Very reliable! She sends pictures of the fur babies everyday! You can tell she loves your pets and is compassionate about taking great care of them! Will definitely book her again! Thanks Allison!!”
“Michael jumped on board for a same day request on a holiday weekend to drop in at our home to feed our two high energy Boston's. He took them out for a potty break and a fun run and fetch game. Communication and availability was exactly what we needed. Next time we need a fur kid sitter, we won’t hesitate to contact Michael.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for several years. Have a vacation coming up and want your pets taken care of? I can take great care of them! I am in nursing school during the week so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! If it’s a quick potty break, or a full day, I’m there! I can walk, play & feed your dogs if needed! Dogs safety in hot weather is my number 1 priority! When the temperature is above 80 degrees, I don’t recommend walks due to the hot concrete or gravel hurting your pets paws! 🐾 But I love a good walk and I’m sure your dog will too!
About: I’ve had a family dog since I was 4 and have loved each greatly. I’m great with all, no matter how big or small. I will make sure they’re treated like the family they are. I have experience giving medications if needed as well as keeping to routines. I’m currently self employed, so there’s plenty of time and energy to spare on doggos and kitties! I currently work from home and can take my work on the go if need be. I’m in an area that’s very walkable and I walk daily. I don’t have pets of my own so any time I get with them, whether friend’s or family’s, is a delight. I follow care specifications of clients to a T. I try to make sure the animals are taken care of as if their own parents were still there. Making sure they’re walked, fed, played with, given potty opportunities, or simply left alone if that’s what they prefer. I care for every pet as if it were my own.
About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“Eric offered to do a meet and greet, to meet my husband and I and our three dogs, before we made any Rover reservations. He is very friendly and polite! During the meet and greet he seemed very attentive and asked questions about our dogs needs. I messaged him drop in instructions the day of and everything seemed to go well! He even messaged me an update of the pups! :)”

I’m open to discuss any time frame that works for you! I will do my best to make sure to understand your pet needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Talmage
Lexi did a terrific job with our two dogs. We were able to take a long day trip without putting them in the kennel for the weekend. We arranged a meet and greet so the dogs could get to know her a bit. She provided updates after each drop-in, which we appreciated! We will definitely book again!
Kristen was a lifesaver while I was away visiting family! She took great care of my two cats, was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my cats had everything they needed. They tend to hide from people and somehow they were comfortable enough to get close to her. I loved getting daily pictures and updates and was able to relax while I was away knowing they were in great hands!
While we were away, Cassidy took great care of our kitty baby: feeding, watering, playing, petting, and loving him for us. Every day she sent us updates and photos so we knew he was in good hands! We really appreciate her and hope to work with her again soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Talmage is $38 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $43 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 2,343 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Talmage. 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 Talmage. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
