“Emily did a wonderful job watching our cat! We had a meet and greet a couple of days before our trip which was very helpful, and Emily sent photos and a lovely note every day. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we had to deal with an unexpected change of plans mid-trip, and made the schedule change as painless as possible. We would absolutely book Emily again!”

About: Let me bring your dog on an adventure - my dog walks start at $20 but I do hikes on a sliding scale. I have group play experience, I can bring your dog to a dog park without any fear that your dog will get into any sort of trouble. I'm a quiet, clean, petsitter, I will likely leave your house cleaner than it was when you let me in. "I have worked with Kae, of Little Lyons, for about a year. He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I have kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. As a pet service professional, I like to make sure your pet is well attended to, and you feel as safe and comfortable as they do. I enjoy waking up to walk a client's dog, or making sure your cat feels safe before it's time to turn the lights off. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings. As a dog walker, you can expect me to arrive and provide a full 30 minute walk to your pet. If you book through rover, you can also get a map of the walk we did, how long it took, and I provide pictures along the way. When it's time to go home, I make sure they and your home are safe and secure.

About: I’ve always been a lover of all pets. I grew up with pets in the home, both cats and dogs. I worked as a dog walker/hiker in the Boston area for many years, leading “pack hikes” with groups of off leash. I work on things like recall and socializing with your pup. I am laid back but professional, comfortable around dogs and lots of experience with different breeds and personalities. Your pets will receive the love and attention they need, while enjoying time outdoors, whether it be with a neighborhood walk or a nice hike in a nearby park. Your pets will be safe and well taken care of. :) I am self employed and have all the time in the world to walk/hike/care for your pets. Week days and weekends available. I am happy to help. I currently live in a condo so I am not able to bord your animals in my home but I am happy to pet sit in your own home.

About: I have worked with dogs all my life. I use to work/help my mom at a kennel at the young age of 7 and our household was always full of dogs! I have had experience with many breeds. I've owned a wide range of dogs: pit bulls, labs, huskies, dash hound, terriers, rottie and pugs. I love to go for long walks, hikes, play fetch, take them swimming. I love to take my dogs out in the field so they can get rid of their energy and run free. If your dog isn’t a runner I would to take them too. I have a very flexible schedule so I could work the times around your needs and times. Dogs are my passion and I can’t wait to babysit yours!

“This is the 2nd time Virginia has cared for our three cats. They each have different personalities and she gave them individual attention based on what they needed, and sent us multiple videos. She was very loving and caring to them. They also eat different foods and she followed our instructions perfectly. She vacuumed and even brought in packages. We highly recommend Virginia!”

Melanie was fantastic with our two cats! She was reliable, attentive and caring and followed every detail of our care instructions perfectly. She kept our automatic cat boxes and food dispensers refreshed on schedule and even cleaned and recycled the food containers and dealt with the trash. Our kitties were happy to see her even our very shy kitty which gave us peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to book Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone for a very caring cat sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Templeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Templeton is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $27 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 1,453 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Templeton. 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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
