“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”

About: I’ve been the owner of various pets including bunnies, dogs, birds, cats and more for 20 years and have volunteered for about 8 years at a humane society walking, socializing, and caring for dogs and cats of numerous breeds, sizes, and ages. As a dog mom I have found great areas for walking nearby & have a dog park area close by that is securely gated and spacious (as well as empty quite often) We’d love to have your special friend with us for a few days! I work from home & have the ability to take breaks as needed! I have a routine set with my own dog & would be able to adjust to the needs of your pet. I have a backyard with a lead & a walking path nearby. As a seasoned pet sitter I am comfortable caring for your pets in your home should they feel more secure in a known environment!

About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.

About: I grew up around furry friends and adore them. At the family house we dog sit all the time. I am honored with any amount of time I get to spend with animals! I am looking to do this full time. I have a mostly empty schedule and I am available almost all around the clock at almost all times. Your furry friends are safe with me. They will be treated like family (because they are) and will be treated with the upmost respect because that is what they deserve.

About: At a young age of 5, I grew up loving and caring for a German Shepherd. Now, I have 3 dogs of my own. Outside of my dogs at home, I work at a Doggy Daycare. I am responsible for feeding, loving, entertaining, and sometimes bathing dogs. I am currently working part-time at a Doggy Daycare will being a student at Ohio State. I am able to take care of the dogs in my time between both. If your dog is able, I can also take them to work with me. At my home, two of my three dogs are able to go out in the yard unleashed, the other on a lead. For your dogs, I am able to walk them daily if needed, I can also crate them if necessary. I can do anything needed for your dog to be happy.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Thornport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,816 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thornport. 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 Thornport. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
