“Kelby did a great job drawing out my reluctant cat who does not except strangers readily. It looked like kitty made up with her. Kelby kept me post about her visit each day. Thanks Kelby.”
“It has been so relieving to have someone as caring as Justine to check in on my dogs while im at work. I know I can count on her to make sure my dogs are taken care of!! They love her!”
About: I'm a health care worker who will put your pet's safety first! Friends and family rely on me to take care of their dogs while they're away on trips. If your pet needs medicine or special care, I pay careful attention to instructions & make sure your pet is happy & healthy! I'm a phlebotomist by day, so I can take care of your pet in the mornings & evenings! I am a very active person, & will spend quality time with & actually play with your pet -- not just sit around with them. I am more than happy to watch your pet in your own home. I make sure your pet is happy, & treat them like my own.
“Hannah is so amazing! Astrid immediately trusted her, which doesn't happen often with poodles. She's accommodating on short notice and has made this weekend so much easier on my family. We will continue to book her in the future.”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of every kind. I've dog sat and cared for cats and dogs many times for friends over the years. I have three cats of my own I care for daily. I feed, brush, play with them, and provide them with veterinary care. I am available for regular check-ins daily, providing walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I am available Sunday, but only after 12pm. I am available early afternoon 11am-4pm and late evening 6-11pm Unfortunately at this time I do not have the space or luxury of providing boarding for pets as I live with other pets and people. I want your pets to feel most comfortable and safe in their own space. I am more than willing to learn all their wants and needs, all the special things they love about their space and home to give them the best and most comfortable care for them.
“This was our first time having Anita watch our Georgie for a week while we were away. She was amazing! We appreciated her notes and pictures each day. We will definitely have Anita watch Georgie again.”
“Montana did a great job! I loved the pictures and details of each of her visits. She was easy to communicate with and Rover makes it easy to provide details for care. We will definitely reach out again - and again. :)”
About: Hello! Fun Fact: If given the choice, I’d probably spend time with animals over people. 😊 I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for them is something I genuinely love. As a pet owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality and routine and I treat each one like family. I’m experienced in administering medications, including injections and diabetic care, and I’ve completed obedience training with my own dog, so I’m happy to reinforce good habits using positive encouragement. Since I own my own business, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to work around your pet’s routine. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Structure and consistency are important! And because of that I strive to stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Lydia did a fantastic job! My cats are usually pretty nervous around new people but they were both asking for pets and attention by day 2. Bonus points for helping to make the check ins happen on such short notice, I absolutely will book again in the future :)”
About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I grew up with cats, but became a dog person the day I unexpectedly met my pup Rebel 12 years ago! I wasn't planning on getting a dog that day, but I fell in love the moment I saw him, and the rest is history! Our girl, Kimmy (10), joined us in 2020 when a friend needed to rehome her. She's a social butterfly. They love making new friends, so we'd love to host your little one(s), and welcome them into our home. We have a fully-fenced back yard to run and play in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here, but I'm happy to follow any rules you may have for your dogs if you prefer they not get on furniture. I currently work full-time outside of the house, but can come home over lunch to offer potty breaks if needed. When dog sitting, I try to limit my nighttime plans, so I'll have lots of time to play with your pup(s) after work! Your dog will be safe at my house. I have a 6ft privacy fence around most of the backyard, and a 4ft picket fence along one edge. I never leave the dogs unattended in the yard. I have a large dog crate if needed.
“Nadia looked after my two cats while I was out of town for a long weekend trip. She was easy to schedule and communicate with to get everything set up and gave plenty of updates when she came by to check on the cats.”
“We highly recommend Haleigh. She was just what our little Mischa needed! She took excellent care of him, always on time for his medication and some attention while we were gone. Couldn’t have asked for a better step-in pet parent! Many thanks to you Haleigh!”
About: Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feeding and playing with their pets. And even sometimes have play dates with my dog. I’m currently trying to find things to keep me busy there out the week/weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available during the week and weekends at any time. I have two friendly pets to keep your fur baby company.crate your dog if needed I have a labradoodle. She is two years old and I have a Sphynx cat, which is four years old.
“Ashley was fantastic with our 3 pups. We have two senior dogs who require extra care and Ashley had no issues administering meds and keeping up with their special diets! Great experience!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life and feel very comfortable with them. Growing up, I would help with caring for the family pets. I would clean up after them, walk them, feed/water them, kennel train/potty train, and play with them. I’ve grown up with mostly cats and dogs, but I am not opposed to caring for other pets. I am very much of an animal lover but currently don’t have a pet of my own, so I would love to be the caretaker of one of your sweet pets! I am a full-time stay at home mom. My schedule can be very flexible. I have a 1 year old who takes two naps a day which allows me to give appropriate care and attention to the pets that are in my care. I live in two story home with a fenced in backyard. A park is right down the street as well were people walk their dogs all the time. I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. :)
About: I love dogs. I have always rented and never had an opportunity to own my own pets. Rover will give me a chance to get my pet fix in. I am available mornings, during my hour lunch break (12-1), and after work during the week. I get off at 5 pm daily. I have flexible availability on the weekends. I treat clients homes how I would want my own home to be treated. I will always leave a home better than I found it. I pay close attention to detail and will go above and beyond for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Topeka on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 314 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Topeka. 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 Topeka 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.
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 Topeka. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
