“Rey was great to work with . She communicated well and was very thorough in taking care of my dog. She went over and beyond to make sure my pup was okay while I was out of town.”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have cared for dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had the privilege of having many different breeds and mixed breeds as part of my family, so I have a lot of varied experience. You can count on me for happy paws and lots of tail wags! I am available to walk or drop in on your dog during the day on weekdays! The hours would be between 9-12:30 Monday through Thursday. We currently have a chocolate lab who is 8 years old and is such a sweetheart. She loves to play fetch in our backyard and go on walks with the family. I plan to treat your dog with the same love and care as my own.
About: I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life, I have 3 dogs of my own one Pitbull, shih tzu, and a Pekingese. I also have dog sitting/walking experience. I am a teacher’s assistant and am off during the summer time so I enjoy spending my free time taking care of others pets :-) I have a fenced yard, very spacious for your fur baby to run and I have 3 sweet doggos to keep them company! I can also crate your dog if needed.
“Carrie is absolutely amazing! We are 100% repeat customers from here on. She was great with the dogs, and even worked with them on their training while we were gone. She is very punctual and professional, and communicates very well to let you know everything is going okay. She takes amazing pictures and clearly loves working with animals. Thanks Carrie, you will be hearing back from us again!!!”

I can do early mornings and evenings, I am in the military so that takes up my time from 9-1700. I do have Saturdays and Sundays off. I will care for the pets as if they are my own. Lots of love and playing and treats if permitted. Pet deserve full attention and that is what they will get.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was little. I have never met a animal that doesn’t love me . I have experience walking and feeding. I have a huge love for animals. I have a loving and compassionate nature. I am a previous Educational Interpreter and love working with children. Currently in transition to a different career field. Availability: • Weekdays 7am- 9pm • Weekends open availability • Do Meet and Greets prior of event I do work a day time job, so pets will be left unattended while I am at work. If I am not staying in your home I will accept after hour calls for any emergency in your residence. I will be more than happy to check on your pets in this case.
About: I’ve worked professionally with animals for over a year and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I cared for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious and reactive animals, and following individualized care routines. I currently work as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital, where I am learning more about animal health and daily medical care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and safely giving pills to pets that are hesitant to take them with food. I understand how important it is to carefully monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. At home, I also care for 3 cats and 2 lizards, giving me firsthand experience with both traditional and exotic pets. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has special medical needs, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and compassion that I give every animal I care for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. :) I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital on a rotating schedule, so my workdays vary from week to week. Because of that, I keep my availability updated regularly. Even on days that I’m working, I’m often available to provide drop-in visits before work, after work, or during other available times depending on my schedule. On my days off, I have much greater flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits or longer stays. I am currently only accepting bookings no longer than 2 weeks. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before booking and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to discuss whether I can accommodate them! I believe the best care comes from keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention based on their individual personality and needs. I’m happy to administer medications as directed, follow special feeding instructions, and accommodate senior pets or those with medical needs. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and well-being and will let you know immediately if I notice anything concerning. I am totally okay with sending photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go for walks, or simply have someone sit quietly with them, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return. :)) At this time, I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I may also be able to care for small caged pets in my home on a case-by-case basis.
“Alexevys was wonderful with my dog! She was kind, caring, attentive. I really appreciated how responsible and loving she was throughout the time she cared for my dog. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“Great sitter! She had excellent communication, was available on short notice, and took great care of my babies. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have experience with dog sitting for 10+ years. I will go out of my way to make sure they are healthy, safe, and loved under my care. I am detail oriented and committed to giving you complete peace of mind while your pet is under my care. I also have base access! I have 10 years of owning and training puppies basic commands while at home. I would love to help you out as well if needed. Basic commands consist of come, sit, stay, down, paw, roll over, spot, center, heel, and leave it. I am currently in school full time but online, so I can easily work around your schedule. Being a college student online gives me extreme flexibility through the week. I am so excited to meet your furbabies! I currently live in an apartment. I normally crate my puppy when I’m not home. I can do the same for you if needed. Anything that is needed I will be willing to do my best to accommodate to that.
About: I treat every dog in my care like my own. As a small business owner, I know how much reliability matters. I show up on time, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow your routine exactly so your pup stays comfortable while you're away. Puppies: I'm patient with young pups and keep up with potty training, crate routines, and basic commands like sit and stay. Senior dogs: I'm comfortable with slower walks, giving medications, and extra attention. Extras: Fenced yard / I work from home so your dog is rarely alone / experience with large breeds / comfortable with anxious or shy dogs. Your dog won't just be watched. They'll be loved! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule at the moment. I have a small dog that is in his older years and home majority of the day. In my home (boarding/daycare): Your dog gets a calm, safe space with [a fenced yard / a cozy spot to rest]. I keep them on their normal feeding, walk, and bedtime schedule, and they're never left alone for long. [I only take one family's dogs at a time so every pup gets my full attention.
“Amber is amazing! She is so sweet to our pets. They are always in such a wonderful mood when we get home. She always goes above and beyond for them every time she watches them.”
About: I've been a proud dog parent for the past 6 years to a German Shepherd and a Siberian Husky, two of the most energetic, intelligent, and strong-willed breeds out there! I've trained both of my dogs myself, and I've also helped train other dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to big ones. That experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read an animal's body language and needs. I've also cared for cats for 5 years, so whether your cat is playful and social or prefers their quiet space, I know how to give them what they need. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and plenty of attention to keep pets happy and balanced. Shedding season, zoomies, and stubborn streaks don't faze me one bit! When I care for your pet, I treat them like family, sticking to their routine, reinforcing good habits, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I work from home full time, so I'm available for drop-in visits and house sitting whenever you need, including last-minute bookings! While I'm caring for your fur babies, I'm happy to keep up with their usual routine, whether that's daily walks, trips to the dog park, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable and at home. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your pets with the same respect I'd give my own. I follow your pet's routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure so no one slips out. I keep dogs leashed on walks, supervise any time outside, and make sure fresh water is always available. If your pet stays with me, I start with a meet and greet so everyone can get comfortable before the stay. My German Shepherd and Siberian Husky are very friendly with other dogs, and I introduce new pups slowly and supervise all playtime to keep things safe and relaxed. I also have a fully fenced yard where pets can run and play safely. Your pet will get the same attention, structure, and love that my own dogs do. Either way, I'll send regular updates with photos so you can see how your fur babies are doing while you're away. If anything unexpected comes up, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency and vet instructions.
About: Aside from experience taking care of Cats, and Dogs, I also am experienced in Lizard Care, and I am willing to watch over exotic pets! I am relatively always free. I do plan to start college hopefully soon. However if something comes up, I am always very communitive with clients. I unfortunately do not have the space at my own house to board pets, however as someone staying overnight, or just popping in to take care of things, I am always respective of rules and boundaries. Tell me what I can or can't do, and I will follow that to a T. Pet wise, ill feed, water, and even clean up after them if any accidents occur. and I will ensure to give them lots of love and care as if they were my own. My services also extend to exotic pets. I am more experienced in care of reptiles, specifically lizards, (I am a very avid reptile lover), however if I have any questions I am able to communicate and look to my employer for answers and instruction. Pricing for exotic pets will follow the same listing for dogs!
About: I've had a husky and a pitbull growing up and I currently have two cats. I get along great with both. I am outgoing and calm in hectic situations. Im currently unemployed, until I move later this month, so I have plenty of time to play/care for your fur babies. Im free Sunday-Friday and I am currently not available on Saturdays. I play with my cats on a daily basis and I love playing with dogs and can follow instructions on certain feeding schedules and can seperate feed if needed for multi pet households.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Vander is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 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 1,015 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vander. 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.

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.
