“Thank you Anastasia, for taking good care of my babies. Also, Thank you for being so easy to get a hold of when I had questions. Your service gave me so much peace. I have hesitated to go on vacation, but since I found you, I know they will be well taken care of and I can go on vacation stress free.”

About: Hello! My name is Charlotte, and I’ve been caring for pets for many years. Over this time, I’ve had the privilege of looking after a variety of animals, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I’ve worked with all types of pets, from dogs and cats to birds, small mammals, birds, horses and even reptiles. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve also worked at a pet store, where I gained hands-on knowledge about pet nutrition, grooming, and general care. I have worked with a variety of species, including dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, and reptiles, learning to understand their unique requirements and behaviors. This experience has taught me how to handle animals with patience and kindness, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I’m also experienced in handling special needs pets, including those who require medication, extra attention, or specific care routines. Whether it’s giving medication or modifying their environment for comfort, I’m always happy to help make sure they get the best care possible. At home we have rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, a dog, chickens, quails, ducks, leopard geckos, African clawed frogs, goats and a pig. needless to say I can take care of a variety of pets :) I would love the chance to take care of your pets, and I’m dedicated to providing them with the same level of care I give my own. I am currently a college student so my schedule can be a bit wonky. please reach out and let’s find a time that works! :) When I care for pets, my main goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If I’m looking after your pets at your home, I do everything I can to maintain their routine and make sure they feel at ease in their familiar environment. Whether it’s giving medication on time, sticking to their feeding schedule, or just providing some extra snuggles, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully and respecting your space. I also love sending updates with photos or messages, so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away! Building trust is really important to me. You can always count on me to treat your pets like my own and keep you in the loop about how everything is going.

About: I have pet-sit since I was a kid. I have a dog that I have taken through puppy and basic training. I also have a cat that has been doted on since she was adopted 6 years ago. During the summers I have a wide availability on week days and therefore am flexible based on the needs of the pet and owner. During the school year I am available before 8 am and after 3:45 pm I have a cozy home with a sweet dog and cat. The needs of the animal are my highest priority. Building trust with the animal and ensuring they are comfortable is very important to me.

“Abby is very reliable. I know my kitty is cared for as she would care her own. She reported any observations immediately and waited for my decision before acting. I highly recommend her for a week-2 weeks of part caregiving.”

“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”

About: I have had cats and dogs as pets my whole life. I have also been there for friends, family and neighbors when they need a pet sitter. I currently look after both of my parents dogs while they are at work. Looking to do the same for others I currently have an open schedule and generally flexible on what hours I can work. Please let me know how I can help you and care for your pets! I understand animals have their territory and also enjoy when you respect their personal space. Making sure an animal trusts me is important to me.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my whole life of all different breeds, tempers, ages, and energy levels. I have also taken care of fish, horses, turtles and hamsters so I am a true lover of all animals. I am currently working part-time and am a student so i have lots of gaps and free time to take care of pets from being around them frequently so as not to be left alone as well as an active routine so would include dogs in my daily walks and take the time to play with them as well as cats indoors. As an experienced owner of energetic dogs large and small, small pets (hamsters, fish, guinea pigs) and cats of all temperaments (kitten to senior) I am well versed in the necessary activities a pet needs to thrive. Not only is company, food, and bathroom breaks required but also lots of stimulation, play, long walks, and exercise so your pet can flourish.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home that’s my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.

Jocelyn was professional, punctual and very kind to my dogs, Marcy and Zoe. It was clear from the photos Jocelyn sent that the girls adored her! I was 100 percent comfortable knowing Jocelyn was caring for my dogs while I was out-of-state! I highly recommend her!

Jocelyn was super responsive and great to communicate. She did a drop in visit for us while we were in ADK. From the reviews and pictures, I can tell she cared for our pup and treated the drop in with professionalism. While on top of a mountain, I received her review of her visit and pictures - it made me feel at ease and know our dog was taken care of. I would highly recommend her and would rebook again in the future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Vesper

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 685 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vesper. 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 Vesper. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
