“Corra was great! She checked in on my cat and made sure she had everything she needed while I was away. She played with her and sent me the cutest pictures! I would rebook with Corra again.”

“Best sitter for my two cats! Kaelyn did a great job communicating, keeping us updated, was very kind, and while we had a bit of a process for her regarding our cats, she did a great job following directions and taking care of everything. Would love to hire her again :)”

About: I have experience working with other people's dogs as well as my own in a variety of settings. I've had dogs since I was young, and have about 10 years of experience dog-sitting, walking, and training. All throughout junior high, high school, and college, I have offered dog-sitting services for neighbors and friends. I have cared for and trained my own dogs since they were pups - training and showing them in 4-H and AKC events. I also train and care for sled dogs. I have worked in veterinary clinics as an assistant in high school and college, and am currently a second-year vet student. I am comfortable giving medications, training puppies, and walking large dogs/dogs that pull a lot :) I am currently attending veterinary school, so I am available mostly on weekends! I will also potentially be available on some weekdays during holiday breaks! I am an animal-lover and have worked with a variety of different dog breeds and personalities :) I have learned that patience and gentleness are key. You and your animal always come first!
“Erica takes such wonderful care of our pets and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe and happy! We are so glad to have found someone who is so good to our kitties. Thank you so much Erica!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and fish since I was 10. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m a student-athlete, so I’m used to managing my time and staying responsible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I always make time for the animals I’m caring for. Since pet sitting is my main job outside of school and athletics, your pets will always be a priority. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, walks, attention, and cuddles. I also keep their space clean and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our “problem child” Murphy! He’s very protective of us and is weary of new people. Stephanie took the time to come by for four nights before we left so she could spend time getting to know Murphy so he was comfortable while we were gone. He ended up loving Stephanie and giving her lots of cuddles! We will definitely be calling on her to take care of Murphy again!”

About: I have been around many pets during my life. I also have experience working at a dog boarding kennel. Experienced with working with dogs that I am not familiar with, small to large. I am currently a student Monday-Friday with the hours of 7am-5pm . I have open availability on the weekends. Open to questions one may have. I always treat space with upmost respect and pick up after myself. Like to keep things clean and orderly. Respect owners rules they have for pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was a young girl. Nieghbor’s, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and simply give their pet attention. I have had pet my entire life and have loved every single one. I have dog sat many of my neighbors and family friends dogs and cats, if it’s just letting them out to go to the bathroom or staying with them the entire week. Being there when a pet is in need is something I can always do. I just graduated so I have tons of free time to take pets on walks, pet sit, and play with. I am super flexible and super easy to contact. I have a fenced off one acre years for any pet to enjoy and play with my black lab. I have room for a kennel and also have a kennel if needed.
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a pre-teen, but fell in love with animal care fully in my junior year of high school, after I began volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter. Since then, I have changed positions and worked as a post-surgery volunteer with PAWS, transporting and handling anesthetized animals after they underwent surgeries. This summer I am also interning at PAWS again, this time as a Foster Care Intern, where I manage the entire foster care system behind the scenes. Additionally, I have worked with large animals such as horses while volunteering, managed and milked dairy cattle, and took care of pigs as my job on the side. I will continue to grow my portfolio, as I am a Pre-Vet Animal Science major at Washington State University with the goal of becoming a veterinarian one day. I am currently on summer break in my hometown (Everett) and have pretty open availability. I intern at paws from 8am-12pm on Sundays & Mondays, and 12-5pm on Thursdays, but other than that, I am free for walks, house sitting, or drop ins! Safety is extremely important during both house sitting & walks! For walks, I like to make sure dogs stay on the side of the sidewalk away from the road, as well as being properly harnessed and equipped with essential needs like poop bags and water incase of an emergency. I also keep a sharp eye out for other dogs to steer clear from unwanted interactions. Additionally, during house sitting, outside doors stay locked at all times, and your pet is watched 24/7. No escapes will happen on my watch! I am open to following any other rules, expectations or suggestions you have regarding your pet & house’s safety!
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I go beyond basic care by tailoring my services to your pet's unique needs. Whether it's training playful puppies, providing gentle care for senior pets, or ensuring your furry friend feels loved while you're away, I bring experience, patience, and a genuine passion for animals. My background includes administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and creating enriching activities to keep pets happy and healthy. Trust me to treat your pets like family! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as a full-time college student. While I dedicate my weekdays to classes, I’m available whenever I’m not in class, offering flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. On weekends and holidays, I’m available all day, making it easy to provide consistent, attentive care for your pets whenever you need it!" I provide personalized pet care tailored to the needs of each furry friend, whether in my home or my client’s. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, enrichment, and cozy spaces for relaxation. In my client’s home, I ensure their pets stick to their routine, from feeding and walks to administering medications if needed. I pay close attention to details like maintaining cleanliness, monitoring behavior, and keeping pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care as if they were my own.

About: I am familiar with animal care for dogs, cats, chickens, and some birds. I have been a short-period caretaker for various animals since high school. I love spending time with energy-filled animals, old seniors, birds, and everything in between. I have overnight dog sat for up to 3 weeks at a time. I enjoy going on walks and spending time lounging with furry pals. I do not have experience training, but I am happy to follow any detailed instructions provided :) Currently, I am a full-time student at WSU. Which leaves me with limited services, but I am happy to fit in what I can! I am mostly available for morning and afternoon dog walks :) After graduation on May 9th, I will be a pretty open book as I do not plan to be working this summer aside from pet care. I do not travel much, so I will be available for longer care periods! I am able to adapt to unique daily routines and distribute medicine as needed. I am quick to learn and love making new furry pals!

About: I have had extensive experience caring for livestock animals, and have done some dog sitting and care here and there. About to graduate with an animal science degree this upcoming fall! I am currently working part- time as a veterinary assistant so I do have general veterinary care experience. I Have cared for my personal dogs, cat and horse and would love to give your furry friends some love !! I am currently a college student, so I have a fairly flexible schedule! Just shoot me a message and we can figure out the best schedule for both of us! I am willing to come to clients home to care for furry friends. Unfortunately our personal dog is a little too shy so bringing animals into our home is not currently an option. I can come for meals, and check in throughout the day or I can stay all day with your furry babies.
“Tanna did a great job looking after our pups during a recent drop in booking. We met for a meet and greet before the date and our pups took to her straight away. During the drop in visit, Tanna fed, watered and took our pups out for a bathroom break. She provided plenty of photos from her visit too. The pups looked completely at ease with her, even our shy pup! We wouldn't hesitate to book Tanna again!”

About: I have had a plethora of dogs growing up all ranging from little Pomeranians to cattle driven Border Collies to Great big Danes! In my four years of pet experience, I worked with two Cane Corso’s training, walking, cleaning up all their drool, washing them, and overnight watching them from puppies together till I had to sadly leave them to come to school this year. I watched them everyday for 5+ hours, taking them on walks and always was willing to drive them to the mountains because I know how much they love the snow. I am willing to take your dogs anywhere to reach their maximum happiness and the 10,000 steps dogs need too! I never missed a day of sitting them and if I had to miss one, I always made sure to rely that information with plenty of time ahead. I am in the agriculture industry, and am strong enough and not afraid to deal with reactive and high energy dogs, since I have experience with both. I would love to see the adventures I can take your pets on! I am a student at the University of Idaho, but M/W/F before 8:30, and after 1:30 I am available to book any service! Tuesday’s I am free to give my undivided attention to any pup or cat! Usually my afternoons consist of homework and taking my own puppy on walks and to the park to play fetch. So taking care of animals and putting my time forward to pets is not second nature, it’s a routine! I make sure I keep my pup on a specific time of eating and walking during the week so she does not get stressed out or worried. I have a large dog crate in my home that can be used. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large field behind me that me and a pet can go and play in. My house already has one pup who gets along with any type of dog and is very passive. She is not a huge cat lover.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 215 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Troy. 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 Troy 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 Troy. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
