“Serena was amazing! From agreeing to cat-sit on short notice (regular sitter had a family emergency), to getting my carpets almost 100% clean after my cats left some "presents"... Serena also sent photos every day, and my cats were very content when I got home! I would certainly utilize her services again!”
About: Hi! I'm Novalee (legal name Brooke), and if your dog loves having friends, being outside, playing until they're tired and then crashing on the couch at the end of the day, they'll probably fit right in here. I work from home, so your dog gets plenty of company, attention and time to play throughout the day. What a day here looks like: When the weather is nice, you'll usually find us outside. I often bring my work into the backyard while the dogs run, play fetch, chase their friends or stretch out in the shade. Our approximately 50' × 60' backyard is fully enclosed by a 5' fence with plenty of shade and room to run, and outdoor time is always supervised. On hotter days, we rotate between outdoor play and cooling down inside. Rainy days mean finding breaks in the weather to get outside, followed by muddy-paw cleanups, indoor play and couch time. By evening, it's usually dogs sprawled across the couch and dog beds, completely tuckered out while we all wind down together. Their routine comes with them: I want your dog's stay to feel as familiar as possible, so I follow their normal feeding schedule, medications, supplements, sleeping preferences and home routines. Owners provide their dog's regular food and treats so there are no unexpected diet changes during their stay. If they're used to a kennel, we'll continue that. If they're a couch sleeper, the couch is fair game. If they normally sleep near their people, their bed can go beside mine. Beds, blankets, toys and other comfort items from home are always encouraged. You'll get updates: I know how hard it can be to leave your animals behind, so I send photos and videos frequently. You'll get to see your dog playing with friends, hanging out with me, napping or completely crashed after a full day of fun. Safety & good fits: Every new boarding client starts with a meet & greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable with my home, pets and environment before their first stay. Dogs are always supervised outside, meals are fed separately and supervised, and I have indoor and outdoor cameras, gates and separate spaces available when someone needs a break from the group. Because this is a social, multi-pet home, boarding dogs need to safely coexist with other dogs and cats. Shy dogs, seniors, puppies and high-energy dogs are all welcome as long as our home is a good fit for their individual needs. Well-behaved leash walkers can also enjoy walks around our village upon request. A little about me: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and pet care is now part of my everyday life too. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, daycare and boarding, along with having experience volunteering with rescues. I'm comfortable with everything from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to seniors who would rather spend the afternoon napping. I also have experience with fearful dogs, mild separation and storm anxiety, oral medications, supplements and insulin injections. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like part of our household while they're here. We play hard during the day, slow down together at night and keep the routines that help them feel at home. I woke from home and have open availability and can spend all day and night with your pups. Send me a booking request to schedule a meet and greet. *I can kennel for the safety of your pets if needed during times I'm away from home on short trips. *I can carry over rules you have in place at your home to mine. Examples: Sleeping in kennel, not jumping on furniture, etc. *I'm vet trained in administering oral, topical, and vaccinations when needed. Example: Diabetic Insulin Shots. *If your pet has storm anxiety, we will camp out in the bathroom with soothing music until the storm passes. *I will not leave dogs unsupervised while playing outside, or with other pets.
About: I have walked family member’s dogs since I was a kid and have owned dogs since I was in my 20s. I have experience with all types of dogs!

About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for years! Being from a small town, lots of friends and neighbors have trusted me to look after their dogs and cats while away on vacations. On top of this, I currently work as a full time nanny, which has taught me so many things such as reliability and responsibility- characteristics that directly translate to pet care. I am available for pet care on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the early mornings (before 10:00 a.m.) and again after 6:00 p.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available after 3:00 p.m. I also have open availability all day on weekends, which allows me to provide flexible care for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For the most part I can be pretty flexible, so don’t hesitate to message me with specifics. When caring for a pet in a clients home, I feel it is most important to treat their home with respect and prioritize pet happiness!!

“5/5 Stars — 10/10 Highly Recommended! I cannot recommend Ava enough! She saved the day by stepping in on just two days' notice to take care of my cat for a full week straight. She did two 30min-1hr long drop-in visits every single day and was absolutely wonderful. She is super nice, incredibly reliable, and kept me updated the entire time with excellent communication. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Van Buren is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $18 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.

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.

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.
