“Kelly did a great job again - my cat Josie is very shy & never wants to come out from hiding when people watch her while I'm away. Kelly was able to get her to come out & was able to pet her during this last visit which is huge progress for Josie! Thank you Kelly!!”
“First time using Adam he did a great job and my 2 cats were well looked after and seemed happy when we returned from our trip. I will us Adam again for watching my cats.”
“Jason was really sweet with my dog. She isn't the easiest dog and he was able to make her comfortable. He also took her on walks and showed up when he said he would. I appreciated the photo updates as well. Will definitely rebook with him!”
“This was our second time booking with Libby & just like the first time- absolutely no issues. She took great care of our cat as well as feeding the birds (and squirrels). We completely trust her with our cat & most definitely will book her again.”
“Lindsey was great with my 3 cats one of them needing nightly meds. She communicated with me every visit and she took our trash out wacummed before we got home.”
“Jackie was absolutely incredible! She went above and beyond taking care of Nigel while we were away. She always left super detailed notes from her visits and sent lots of pictures, and was very communicative from start to finish. Nigel had a few special needs/requirements and Jackie was more than accommodating to those as well. Nigel really loves being around Jackie and we’re definitely going to rebook next time we’re going out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Danielle was timely, responsive, and kind. She took great care of our kitties for the weekend. She has a clear passion for working with animals and we felt our cats were in great hands. We definitely plan to work with her in the future.”
“Heather was beyond amazing. She came for a meet and greet, did drop is when she said she would, and engaged with my dog more than any other sitter I have found on rover. Jesco was happy when we got back from long work days. She sent lots of updates and picture which all pet parents enjoy. Our dog is a senior and I can tell she has the skills, compassion, and love for our old man. Heather is the best!”
“We’re lucky to have Liz watch our beloved pets! She is dependable, smart, and considerate. Lillie and Katie look forward to seeing her and I have peace of mind knowing she is there. She also sends really cute pics!”
“Brianna was super friendly and actually seemed to be happy to look after my cat. She did a great job making him happy and cleaning up after him. Thoroughly recommend.”
“Jo is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such thoughtful, loving care of Jake every single visit. She plays with him, gives him tons of affection, and always makes sure he gets outside time to explore. I love that she even updates me on the things he forages in the backyard — it shows how closely she pays attention to him. She keeps his water fresh, gives him his ice‑cube snacks, and sends the cutest photo updates. I feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Thank you, Jo!”
“Camille is professional, responsive and a great communicator. I had a trip that was last minute and she was very flexible and accommodating. I know my kitty was in great hands. I will be working with Camille again!”
“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”
“Callie does an incredible job watching my 3 cats whenever needed. She keeps me well informed and allows me to rest assured my fur babies are well attended while I’m traveling. I can tell she provides care motivated primarily by a love of animals! 10/10, would recommend!!”
“Michaela and Mindy have been checking in on our pups for a couple of years now and they continue to be extremely flexible with our scheduling needs and our dogs just love them!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Troy
Eden was very personable and confident, which I greatly appreciated because I have a diabetic cat. It’s very hard to find a sitter who can do subcutaneous shots and she was completely open to learning. In addition she offered to water my flowers and take out the garbage. I highly recommend her!
Mekenzie stopped by twice on the Fourth of July to check on my dogs with very short notice. She followed all of my instructions, took great care of them, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I really appreciated her reliability and would happily book her again.
Emily has been caring for my cats the last few years and I have been very happy having her as a my cat sitter. She takes amazing care of my cats and sends me several of pictures of her visits with them. She is one of the best animal care takers around and I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Troy on Rover is $18.87 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 3,663 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
