About: From an early age, we have cared for, rescued, and loved animals of all types. Into adulthood, we have been blessed to be trusted to provide care for several fur babies, small to large. Developing and maintaining ongoing friendships with both the pets, and the owners is important to us. Earning trust and getting invited back is what drives us. We will be honored to meet you, and your four-legged family. Thank you for your consideration! Brita is currently working part time and has plenty of time to care for your pets! We are passionate about the well being of animals and will be available rain or shine. We believe the safety of your four-legged family member is very important. At our home, our cats are never without. Simply walking, feeding, and providing clean water is not what pet-sitting is all about. Our furry friends also need love and companionship. That, I believe, sets us apart.
About: From the time I was born, animals have been a part of my life. My pets are my family and yours will be treated the same. I have a wide range of experience when it comes to animals and care for much more than dogs and cats. That includes….saltwater and freshwater aquariums, hedgehogs, rabbits, reptiles, farm animals such as chickens and goats. I will also water your plants, bring in your mail, and set out your trash cans. I work from home and have a flexible schedule and will make your pet a priority 24/7. Your pet will have lots of love and attention. I do not place them in a crate like they do at a boarding facility. They will be able to sit on the couch if they desire! I have a large yard and allow them to get the exercise they need. I live just across from Greenway and will take them on daily walks.
About: I have been a dog lover since I was a young child playing with them holding them. Let them show me there joys and if sad hold them for awhile. They are wonderful friends. I am currently not working as summer school jobs are slim. I am available any day at anytime I am needed use me if needed I will care for your dogs by giving them structure and a routine so they can’t miss you as much and anxious behavior is minimized.
“Sarah did a great job with my cats! Not only did she feed and take care of the litter, but she also was helpful with collecting my packages and mail for me while I was away. She also takes great photos of your pet while she is watching them!”
“Rachel is so kind and so loving with the animals. We have two cats. One has kidney disease. One has recurrent UTIs. Both have separation anxiety when their people are away for even 24-36 hrs. When Rachel came and met us and our kitties, I knew that she would be able to put them at ease and look out for any health situations that may arise. She handled all the special food directions and medications, and I was able to feel confident that the kitties were super safe. That peace of mind is invaluable. We love Rachel and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Emma was so responsive and reliable when I needed someone to drop in on my pup. I got lots of pictures and updates while I was away, which made the whole experience so much better. Emma put me at ease and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals for most of my life. Grew up on a farm, so no stranger to anything! Confident enough to take care of the little and the big pets! I currently work at UT, so I am available mid day and weekends. I work Monday through Friday 4 pm to 1 am. If I don’t answer right away, it’s probably because I am asleep. I am happy to come to your place and take care of or stay with your pet. Will always make sure they are safe and comfortable.
About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I work during the week 8-4:30p and am pretty open on the weekends! I am able to accept clients during the week if early morning and late evening work! I prefer pet sitting at the clients home due to I have 2 cats and live in an apartment. The space would be too small.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Townsend is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 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 November 2026, there are 1,067 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Townsend. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
