“Laken was superb in taking care of Bruiser and Freya for 2 drop in visits a day over the weekend. Quality time was spend each visit ensuring the needs of both pups were well carried for. Photos and texts were shared during the visits. It was obvious they both were well cared for when I returned home. I will definitely call Laken for all future pet care needed. I highly recommend Laken for all Pet sitter needs.”

“Suzanne was very friendly and did an excellent job caring for and loving on my cat when I was away. I will definitely keep her in mind for the future and recommend her to others.”
“Rebecca cared for our three cats for about a week and a half, doing drop ins every other day. She was kind and communicative from start to finish, and went above and beyond to keep us and our kitties happy including lots of playtime, topping off food and water, and even watering a plant for us and bringing packages inside. Would book her again for future travel!”
“Monica was our first Rover sitter for our cat & she surpassed all of our expectations. We are incredibly grateful of how considerate, patient, and attentive she was with our kitten to ensure he had a good time while we were on vacation. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Amanda was a great help taking care of my fur babies when my husband and I went on vacation. She would send pictures everyday and communicate regularly. Thanks for being flexible with your drop-in visits.”
“Dayana, Agreed to do drop ins on REALLY SHORT notice... She was prompt, communicative and excellent in all regards. I hope the next time We require a drop in She is available.”
“We are Blessed to have Kristy care for our 16 year old cat/fur baby, Luna. We are so happy to have her watch Luna because she’s not only a beautiful person inside & outside, but she’s loving, trustworthy & conscientious! Luna takes a day to get used to anything new. But she loves Kristy & when we arrive back home from our travels, Luna looks better than when we left! She walks around for a few days looking for something. I swear she’s wondering where her friend, Kristy is? Everything is always clean and she even came twice per day, on the last few days. She sends me the best pictures of our LuLu! I hope she will continue bless us with her loving care for our cat”

About: Whitney Amanda but I go by Mandy!I am new to rover and looking to grow experience. My services are walks ( or even runs as I enjoy running!) and drop in visits. Since I work at the hospital during the day, I would drop in early in the morning, lunch break and/or evening visits. I’ve had pets of my own + I use to work in a pet care and spa for a bit. I would love too help you get great care for your fur babies!! I am currently full time at a hospital but looking to help with evening or overnight care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Troy on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 727 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:
- 95% 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.
