“Chelsea and John were such great sitters for our 12 year old dog, Moo Cow. They sent lots of photo updates and we felt secure that they were watching over him while we were happy. So happy to have found reliable sitters for our best guy.”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have any dogs around. I've learned how to take care of senior dogs while also being fortunate enough to have raised and trained a new puppy. I have experience with small dog breeds as well as large dog breeds. I currently work full-time, but I work from home! I am very active with my dog, constantly taking her on walks and to the park, always trying to get exercise when we can! There is a beautiful walking path next to where I live where I love taking my dog for a walk (on & off leash). I have a travel crate that goes with me on visits if needed as well.
“Lisa watched my cat Luna while I was away. She was very attentive with her. In addition to feeding her, she kept the litter box clean and gave Luna a bit of exercise with some of her favorite toys.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover from Wilmington, Delaware, and after retiring from 34 years in education, I decided to follow my heart and spend more time with animals. I've had all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, even horses—so I know just how much they mean to us. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, kind, and caring looking after your pets (and your home) when you can’t be there. Whether it's a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or just some company while you're away, I'm here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I am retired after 34 years in education and have a flexible schedule that can meet your pets daily needs- morning, noon or night. Additionally, I have lived in the area my entire life so I am very familiar with the neighborhoods. I will visit your pets as requested. They will be walked responsibly and I will ensure they have fresh water and treats if allowed. If requested I will bring in the mail and any delivered packages.

I am positive that you and your fur babies are in good hands with me! I am currently a caregiver for my grandmother, and I have a very flexible and open schedule. I am willing to accommodate any schedule needed. I am sure to follow all instructions that I am given when it comes to caring for your pets. I ensure they follow the same routines they are used to.

“Sara has consistently impressed us with the kindness and reliability of her pet care. She is so good with Alfredo and communicates frequently to let us know how he’s doing. We feel very lucky to have her watch our dog when we leave and know he’s in good hands. She is also quick to let us know her availability.”
About: I own and live with two dogs I take care of regularly. Looking for some additional work to help and take care of your lovely furpets. Pet care fits into my life daily. I have two dogs at home where I am taking care of them and providing the best life possible! I do not work and have plenty of times on my hands to asssir with your loved fur babies! Only need 24 hours notice I provide a lot of love, care and service to my animals. It’s important to make sure they are safe and secure and taken care of just as much as humans! I love to walk, play, cuddle and feed the pets.
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
About: Dog walker & cat lover. My pet experience spans from check-in walks to month-long over nights. I enjoy the outdoors and can walk your dog in any weather.

I travel from time to time but will mark my schedule. I’d prefer pet care to take place in the client’s home. Would need to spend time with your pet before considering boarding at my home.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Trainer is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $18 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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Trainer choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
