“My cat Luna is 15 years old! She was in wonderful shape when we returned home from 11 days on vacation with Kristy watching her. Kristy did drop in visits with her every day. She stayed longer than she was required to stay. Which was amazingly thoughtful. She kept everything super clean! Luna didn’t have any hotspots on her like she usually does when we go away. Kristy gave her lots of love! I got lots of pictures and everybody was very happy. We would love to have Kristy watch her again next time we go away. I’m grateful to her and grateful that we found this app so that we could find Kristy.”
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. However, feel free to reach out as I do have off days here and there. Communication is the best form of care. You let me know what your pet needs and I am there! I am happy to provide a caring and nurturing environment for your pet.
About: I’ve casually taken care of dogs and cats for friends for several years, but I’ve had experience handling farm animals like alpacas since I was eight. I’m not afraid of cleaning messes or handling big pets, and I love to pamper my fluffy clientele! I’m a college student who has a lot of availability, so I’m here for your pets every need. I can pop in early morning, noon, and late at night! I like to keep every environment I’m in better than I found it, and I’m happy to tidy up and comfort my fluffy pet friends when their family is away

I closely follow each pet’s routine to ensure they are comfortable
“Jasmine was great checking in with our golden doodle and our kitty! After a long afternoon inside, I know our girl appreciated a break to run around the yard and play. Jasmine let me know before she stopped in, sent pictures of our dog running and having fun in the yard, and offered to clean up the muddy paw prints on our floor afterwards :) We appreciate her being so accommodating last minute and for making sure our babies were taken care of! Would 100% have her back to check on them again.”
“We recently relocated and we were a little worried about finding the right person to continue to drop in for Annie. We just started using Kristen and so far has been a great fit for us. She is reliable and cares about her customers, a great fit for us, so happy we found Kristen.”

About: (Note to new clients: Please talk to me BEFORE you CONFIRM a booking so I can help you SAVE, thank you!) I am located in Killeen. I love small dogs more than anything else, and have been told by the people who met me and my dogs that I am the best dog owner based on how well cared for my little furry friends look. I can help you take care of your precious dogs so that you can have your mind at ease and enjoy your holidays 😊 I also provide flat rate spa service at $65 per small dog. This includes bathing, drying, eye and ear wash, nail trimming, haircut/deshedding, and styling. Thank you for your interest! I have many years of experience in taking care of both puppies and adults of small breeds. I will do everything within my power to ensure their safety and happiness. My house will be the cleanest and safest environment for your small dogs. No health hazards, no medium/big dogs, no cats, no loud noises, no human kids, no chaos. I do not even own a TV, and I play the piano to them sometimes. This is a calm, beautiful place with nice little doggy friends, cozy beds, fun toys, a cute outdoor playground, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care. I also cannot afford to have people changing their minds after taking up the spot of someone else who had really needed it. I hope you understand, thank you so much ❤️) 🌷$50 PER OVERNIGHT BOARDING SESSION INCLUDING 🌷 - Two meals and two treats a day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Troy
We had an excellent experience with Mary doing drop in visits for feeding and playtime with our sweet foster dog. Since he’s a foster we were hesitant to hire someone we did not know before. Mary was warm, kind, provided great communication, pics, and gave us peace of mind! She went above and beyond! We will definitely be scheduling her for all our future needs for our sweet boy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Troy is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 711 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Troy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Troy. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 .
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.
