“What lovely people! Kim and Chris made time to keep our little dogtwe with hardly any notice, and certainly loved on her like she was their own. I feel so lucky to have met them and to have the option of both dog and humans meeting again soon”
About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since high school. I have watched my friends, girl friends family, and my own personal dog. I am very reliable and can be available on short notice. I’m currently looking for full time work. I have a few interviews and trying to watch some dogs in the meantime while I hear back from job prospects. In the past I have dropped into my friends house to walk my friends and families dogs. I take my own dog to the park 2 times a day to help get the exercise it needs.

“Meghan has cared for my cat twice now and not only is dependable and trustworthy, but she is also very patient and kind with my reserved kitty. I love that leaves detailed descriptions of her visits and always attaches photos so I know Lola is taken care of.”
About: Hello future clients and furry friends! I’m Katherine and I can assure you I have all the experience you’re looking for considering I have 3 fur babies of my own! I’ve loved caring for animals since I can remember and have since revolved my entire life around it. From taking care of my own pets to working at a dog groomer salon to now working at a veterinary clinic! Working around pets for so long definitely has it’s perks from dealing with pumped up pups and comforting sleepy seniors. Big or small, adapting is never an issue for me! I’m also CPR certified for all sizes! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a veterinary clinic so this would be mainly for the hours/days I’m not working! My schedule is pretty set so working out a timed schedule wouldn’t be a problem for me!

About: I’ve cared for pets of different ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I’ve completed 503 hours of professional dog behavior and training education, as well as the AVBM Asia Veterinary Behavioral Medicine Master Courses in both 2024 and 2025. I’ve also completed basic and advanced senior pet care courses. This education has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior, body language, communication, and the needs of dogs at different ages and life stages. I use this knowledge to provide thoughtful, attentive, and personalized care for every pet. I’m currently changing my career path, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 3pm, and on all other days after 11am for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding. For other times or special services, I’m happy to discuss and accommodate when possible. I’m passionate about animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, caring, and dependable, and my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. Safety, reliability, and communication are very important to me. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. For pets staying in my home, I provide a clean, calm, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of individual attention. My community has plenty of grassy areas for walks and outdoor time, and I do my best to maintain each pet’s usual routine so they can feel at home.

“EXCELLENT sitter. Went way above and beyond (came over before her sitting to meet us and our dog, was very friendly, even brought home baked cookies)! We cannot recommend here highly enough. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.
“Garret was really wonderful from the very beginning with an acceptance to show up for taking care of my pets on very unplanned short notice. He was very good with my dog, cat and actually made friends with them by the end of the day! He is kind, communicative, easy to coordinate with and most importantly, he reaches to pets with gentleness that I think is hard to find. Thanks, Garret! I appreciate you! Good luck!”
“Jennifer was dependable, a great communicator & a pleasure to work with. She gave us updates daily & our cat Luca seemed to really enjoy her visits. We’d love to use Jennifer’s services next time we are out of town & need someone to make daily visits to care for our fur baby. Thanks Jennifer!”

Meghan is amazing!! When I first started having her watch my dogs she took the extra time to meet with them and allow them to get comfortable with her (one of my dogs struggles with new people). My dogs love when she visits and I know they’re in good hands when I’m away from home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ulmar is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 8,862 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ulmar. 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 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 Ulmar. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
