About: I've owned multiple small breeds in my life (mainly Chihuahuas), as well as pet sitting for large breeds like Boxers, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. I regularly take care of my friends cat in their home during vacations, as well as taking care of her medications. I'm available for walking and drop-in visits weekdays after 4:30 pm and pet-sitting in home on Friday nights and weekends! I cannot accommodate boarding currently. I will always follow client instruction on how they'd prefer their pets to be taken care of and am very attentive, and I'm ready to be active, chill, playful, whatever suits the needs of your pet.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medication and providing attentive daily care. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines and giving them personalized attention. I also follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. My two children also love animals and are always excited to help me give them plenty of love, attention, and care. We enjoy caring for pets together and making sure every furry friend feels happy, safe, and part of our family while they stay with us. 🐾❤️ I truly enjoy caring for pets as part of my daily routine. I make time every day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, walks, and comfort to pets, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times available weekdays and weekends “I provide pets with a safe, clean, and loving environment both in my home and in my client’s home. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and rest to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away
“Megan is so nice and attentive! My boy who usually doesn’t eat when I go away allowed Megan to pat his head ☺️ She followed all instructions and showed up on time and sent pictures which made me feel better about being away from my fur babies! It was very comforting to have Megan caring for Snowball and Lily! Thank you Megan!”
“Hailey was fantastic. She did a great job taking care of our 20-year-old doggo and gave her the special care and attention she needed. Hailey kept us updated with messages and photos while we were out of town, which really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. It was clear she genuinely cared about her. We came home to a happy pup and everything in great shape. We’d definitely have Hailey watch her again!”

About: I have experience with larger dogs, small dogs, and cats as well. I help cater to any special needs or requests you may have such as administering medicine, special diets, and keeping you updated on their well being. Good for quick walks or staying with your pet overnight. I worked everyday in Brooklyn, NY as a dog walker/pet sitter from 2019 to 2023. I have since then been traveling around as a pet sitter for the last two years in-between taking care of some important family business. I have grown up raising German Shepherds all of my life and love to know that I am helping someone's day out by being able to care for their pet while they are not able to. I am currently available for any time and can even travel to you if needed for extended overnight stays. Your pet's needs come first for me. I will care for your pet at your home and follow the routine they are used to. Whatever makes them most comfortable is how I will take good care of them.
About: I have had a dog since I was nine and have been looking after my friends and family’s dogs and cats since I was 15. I can feed, walk, and play with your dog. I am currently a full time student at Virginia Tech, and I am home for the summer. I have flexible availability and would love to look after your pets doing my free time! I keep my home clean and make sure your dog cannot reach anything they are not allowed to have. In your home I make sure to not leave a mess of toys or anything after being with your dog.
About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my schedule becomes a bit more dynamic. Feel free to reach out and see if our availabilities are a match! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!

We can care for your pet in your home. If you need us to pick up and walk around neighborhood or local park no problem!
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon
Katie was amazing! We had her meet our dogs 1-2 months before the actual visit and being this was our first time using rover she made us very comfortable with the process. The days she came to stop by and let our dogs out were a bit difficult due to our one dog who was being very stubborn. But Katie was so patient and we attempted to work as a team to bring him in which eventually worked. She gained our dog’s trust and it helped when she would ask them to come in. She was even concerned with our one dog on the first visit when she didn’t go outside during the nighttime. It was our wedding weekend and when I tell you I appreciated Katie for making things as smooth as possible, I truly did. I 100% recommend going with her every time ☺️
Brineydi has been such a life saver with our new puppy Roux ! We never used Rover before her and honestly feel like we've hit the jackpot for pupcare. She does drop in visits to let our dog out and play. She's always punctual, communicative, and I LOVE receiving the detailed updates/photos with every visit. Briyendi is becoming one of Roux's favorite parts of the day 😌🐾
Emilyann was great with Luke, and he seemed to really look forward to her visits. I am thrilled that they got along so well. I am delighted to have Emilyann take care of Luke in his own home, where he's most relaxed! Emilyann is great with animals, very calm and confident! I will utilize her skills again!
Bri did a terrific job. I have to say I was worried that Max was going to be too much for anyone to watch. It was first time we had someone watch him. He could be intimidating at 130 lbs and Bri found him to be nothing but a cuddle buddy. I highly recommended Bri and look forward to using her services again. Seriously , thank you.
Where to start? She was amazing. Went above and beyond. Even walked my baby in the rain. We appreciate everything you did and all the love you have to our Sadie and cats. You're the best. Thanks again for everything. Truly made us feel that our pets were in great hands

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Vernon is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 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 8,662 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Vernon. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Vernon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Vernon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
