“Erica is a very hard working lady and she is willing to do whatever it takes to earn our kitties trust while we're away. I felt totally at ease knowing that they were in her capable hands. She even checked on them on her own time just to be sure they were okay. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: I've been a Dog mom since I was a child, spoiled pets are the BEST. Give me all the attitude. Just looking for a bit of extra income and a chance to up my daily step count. My kids are in school starting at 8am, I dont clock into my part time local job until 230 and I only work until 430. This gives me all day and all evening to be at Fidos Beck and call. Toys, treats, pets, and play are all apart of a happy dogs day. Dogs have feelings and emotions and if you just listen they'll tell you what they need.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am now available for boarding at my home so feel free to look into that as well!! I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.
About: I have about 6 year experience with dogs any where from puppies to seniors. I have trained dogs mine included. His name is bullet and he is 4. I work during the week so I’ll be available weekends and some evenings. Time will vary but I will accept as much as I can I’ve got a fenced in yard I live on a large property. I have two dogs very sweet and I don’t like next to a road.
About: I’m experienced in training puppies, providing compassionate senior pet care, and attentive, reliable support for every pet’s unique needs. Trustworthy, patient, and passionate about animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, allowing me to dedicate focused time for walks, feeding, play, and attention. I keep a regular schedule with breaks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ensuring pets receive consistent care and companionship throughout the day. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with designated spaces for relaxation, play, and exercise. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, walks, and regular attention to their needs. In clients’ homes, I follow their pet’s usual schedule, providing companionship, feeding, and any specific care instructions.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
About: With my love for animals, along with my bubbly and outgoing personality, I’m able to bring even the shyest animal out of their sell, giving me my the animal whisperer I currently work part time (weekends) as a nanny, but I also want to bring even more joy into my life by taking care of your fur babies weekdays! First I let the fur baby get to know me in order to create a calm, loving, happy, and peaceful environment and relationship. Secondly I then check any list and rules that the fur parents might have given me, to ensure that the fur baby is taken care of properly. Thirdly I then play and interact with the fur baby for 30 minutes so they can let out any pint up zoomies. Lastly I clean anything I have used and check that all windows and doors are closed and locked before leaving.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tool is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 142 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tool. 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.

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.
