About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits of all ages. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic pet care, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to help them feel as comfortable as possible! I work Monday–Friday from 8:30–4:30 with a one-hour lunch break, so I’m available for morning and evening care throughout the week and have additional flexibility during my lunch break. I am a very patient and compassionate person, and I enjoy spending time with pets. I keep my home very tidy and will treat yours the same!
“We’ve been satisfied clients of Christina for a few years. She goes above and beyond for our older cats who require medications, etc. We can enjoy our vacations knowing they’re being well looked after.”
“Brandi was amazing with my two cats!! She is so professional and caring. Very detail oriented. She sends pics and updates with every drop in!!! Using her again next week for a few days over the holiday. She is a super star! I didn't worry one bit with her watching them. She made my vacation worry free so we could relax and enjoy time away. Five star and can’t say enough about her. If you want someone who really cares and will take great care of your pets, schedule with Brandi.”
“Keri and her daughter were very friendly and helpful with taking care of our cat for a week. The pictures were great to see and she was responsive in answering questions. We appreciated them and their service!”
“Kelly is the absolute best! We’ve used her multiple times for both drop in visits and house sitting. She has always taken great care of all our animals and able to give meds no problems. She has gone above & beyond and we will absolutely use Kelly again-highly recommend!”
“Olivia is always so great with our Charlie Boy and we know he is in good hands while we are at work. She is so very good with communication and responding and we just appreciate her so much.”
“Cat did a fantastic job with the drop in visits. She was punctual, spent some time playing them, and had no issues with our most high maintenance cat’s medication. Most importantly, the cats really seemed to liked her. I would highly recommend her and plan on hiring her again for any future visits.”
About: I’ve been a dog sitter and worked with dogs for 4 years now. I have experience with large and small dogs. Along with this I have a golden retriever dog who is 6 years old who I have trained since he was 10 weeks old. He is a very social dog and loves all animals and people! I currently work part time! So I am able to be at home more often. With the free time on my hands I would love to care for your animals while you are away! While I don’t have a fenced yard I have a lead! I have a pretty open yard so lots of space to run around. Along with this I take my dog on walks every day to get all the energy out!!
“We are so thankful for Andrea!! She truly loves our fur kiddos and she went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. It truly helped us be able to enjoy vacation knowing they were so well taken care of! She is super responsive and always leaves a note to let us know how they are doing. Our dogs are not the easiest to walk but they got walks everyday! Highly recommend booking Andrea for any pet needs.”
“Eden was amazing and took care of our cats while we were out of town. She stopped by twice a day to feed them and give them some love. She is a wonderful girl and was great with our babies. I already have her booked for our next trip!”
About: I have always been a dog owner and welcome any dog into our home. There is no greater love than the companionship of a dog. I work full time but am available to care for dogs in the evening and on the weekends. They will also get special attention in the morning hours. I have a fenced in backyard and a silver Labrador of my own that loves to play with any and all dogs. I can accept crate trained dogs if needed.
“Griffin was great! He helped Momo when we needed a sitter last minute. He asked thoughtful questions and really hit it off with Momo during their meet and greet. 10/10 would recommend as a sitter and we’re looking forward to scheduling more visits!”
“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”
“I trust no one else to watch my furkids. Jill loves my animals like they are her own and spoils them with so much attention that they throw me shade when I get back and want to know where Jill is at instead. I would choose her again and again for my animal care needs. She is a rockstar!!!”
“Amy really came into clutch. A 5 week old puppy came into my life unexpectedly. No doggy daycare would accept him so young. So when I was working, Amy came over to care for him. It was really reassuring knowing he was in good hands when I was away. She fed him, cleaned up after him, took him out to potty, and played with him. She was wonderful!”
“Jenee did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Our Garfield and Morticia were always excited to see her and get pets. Our cats really enjoyed her company. She even went above and beyond to even feed and water the outside feral cats that like to take up residence on our porch. Next time we go out of town we will definitely be more than happy to have Jenee watch our cats. They will be in good hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Troy on Rover is $26.75 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 2,138 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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
