About: I am an animal lover with a bias towards dogs! I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes throughout my life (including Rottweilers, Basset Hounds, Pitt Bulls, Doberman Pinschers and St. Bernards), and I can truly say that pups make the world a better place! I would love to walk or care for your fur-baby. I understand the sacred bond that an owner has with their animals, so you can trust and believe that your dog will be treated with the utmost love, respect and professionalism. Rain or shine, I can be available to get your dog exercised and back to your home safe and sound. I would love to meet your pet and to make your life a little easier. See you soon!

About: I've been pet sitting for family and friends for a couple years and currently work at a pet boarding facility for dogs and cats! I'm currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, exercise, and care. I'll make sure the pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I'll also keep the home clean and provide updates to the owner.

About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!

Shelbi did a wonderful job with our kitties! I was very nervous to leave them for so long. She went above and beyond making sure our shy one was OK when she was concerned that he hadn't been spotted after a couple of days. With my direction she was able to move a portable outside security camera into the house for me to check and make sure he was coming out of hiding when she wasn't there. We got home last night and they were all happy and healthy. I will definitely use her services again the next time we go out of town! I loved the updates and all the pictures too. Thanks so much Shelbi!!

Your pet will be the one on vacation! Not just you! I was very anxious about going on vacation for the first time without my Ronnie. Elizabeth took exceptional care of my boy. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. The solid communication and pictures left me to never worry about the state of Ronnie’s wellbeing. Such an stress-free service. I couldn't recommend MORE.

About: Hi! My name is Maranda, and I’m a huge animal lover currently studying veterinary technology. I also have prior experience with animal welfare where I care for pets daily and help make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while away from home. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know each pet individually. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, medication schedules, extra patience, or just lots of attention and cuddles, I’m happy to provide personalized care. My veterinary studies and hands-on experience working with animals have helped me become comfortable recognizing normal behavior, following care instructions carefully, and staying calm in different situations. I also have experience with feeding routines, cleaning, basic grooming, and handling anxious or energetic pets. I know pets are family, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and care I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am a college student at Sinclair so my schedule is: evening classes Monday/Wednesday and morning/afternoon classes on Tuesday/Thursday which still allows me plenty of time to provide reliable pet care, walks, drop-ins, and attention throughout the week. At home, I care for my dog by making sure she is safe, comfortable, well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention and love. I help care for dogs and cats by monitoring behavior, cleaning, feeding, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while away from home.

Anthony was great and very responsible. He got along really well with my cat and made me feel comfortable leaving her in his care. Before the drop-in visits started, he even suggested meeting in person so I could go over the basic instructions with him. Over the next three days, he did a great job taking care of everything—playing with my cat, cleaning the litter box, and making sure she was fed. I really appreciated how reliable and attentive he was, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of many kinds for at least 10 years, only in the past 3 years have I done it professionally! I have always been around animals, taking care of pets for neighbors before finally beginning overnight stay petsitting 3 years ago. I have worked with senior dogs as well as cats with light medical needs, as well as adult dogs and cats. I have also worked with young cats and puppies under 6 months old. I love them all! I’m currently working part time, so I’m available all weekend to play with your pets! I’m available all week long for daily check-ins as well as overnight stays, but if your pet needs more focused care then weekends work best for me! I’m available before 8:30am for dog walking services and pet check-ins, as well as after 5:30pm. I have worked with families that have a strict feeding schedule for their pets, as well as families that have strict bathroom/outside time schedules for their pets! I will care for them in the way that works best for your family. Whether they like cuddles or space, if they like long walks or just brief playtimes outdoors or in, I’ll be there for them!

About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.

Great experience and we truly appreciated Yolena taking care of our 3 cats on such short notice! She gave great updates with photos, which put our mind at ease while we were away. She was extremely kind and followed instructions on the care we needed for each cat, and was very responsive if we had any concerns. Came home to happy cats and the house just as we had left it! Would absolutely recommend this sitter!

Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vandalia on Rover is $17.12 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 1,031 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vandalia. 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 Vandalia 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 Vandalia. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
