About: I am a licensed veterinary technician. I am currently a pre-vet student at SUNY Binghamton. I am dedicating my life to taking care of animals. I have had a variety of pets as well as working with them in a veterinary setting such as cats, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and small mammals, just to name a few. I have experience with administering oral medications as well as injections. I have experience with dog training. I have worked with my own dogs from puppy classes to advanced training. Therefore, I am able to help you with training issues. I excited to care for your fur babies as if they are my own. I am currently on summer break from SUNY Binghamton. I am looking for a part time job at a veterinary hospital. This leaves me for your fur babies. My schedule is flexible. As a licensed veterinary technician, I am fear free certified. This means one of my jobs is to reduce the stress for your fur babies. I also have experience with working with anxious dogs and cats.
“This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and it was a wonderful experience. From the meet-and-greet, we felt she was a perfect match. She followed our instructions carefully and sent daily updates. We are extremely pleased with her care and will definitely contact her again for any future pet sitting.”
“Kara was wonderful! It was my first time using Rover for cat drop-ins and she made the whole process stress-free. She was very gentle and understanding when it came to dealing with my shy boy. She was very professional and quick to respond, as well. I'll definitely reach out to Kara again if I need another sitting. Thanks so much!”
“Nicole was great! Our dog Indy has separation anxiety so we asked Nicole to come by and keep him company while we were out. She was totally tuned in to his needs, and we came back to a super calm, happy pup. Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Nicole is awesome! She gives our dogs lots of love and treats, and makes sure everyone gets their bathroom break and a walk in the middle of the day. It helps that she has experience at a veterinarian’s office and dog training as well. Nicole’s very accommodating and I highly recommend her to others looking for pet care!”
About: My name is Michelle and I am a former teacher, now stay at home mom to two babies and one dog. I have always had dogs in my life. Growing up, I had a Sheltie and two rescue Beagle mixes. Currently, I have one sweet pup, a hound named Benjamin who is equal parts lazy, silly, and "follow the nose." As a former teacher, I know how busy life can get. I also know how hard it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your fur babies and I'd love to help. I'm currently available occasional boarding services (check my calendar for availability). I have a large, fenced in backyard. For boarding, dogs MUST be fully house broken, crate trained, and 100% good with children as I have two small children in the house. Not accepting puppies at this time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have one dog in my home, he is friendly and ready to play (or not play if your dog prefers, Ben's often a lazy boy, too)! I'm able to feed, walk, or crate your dog as requested. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.
About: Hi! My names Melissa- I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who has taken care of animals my entire life and understands how important they are as members of the family. During my undergraduate studies, I fostered dogs for a semester, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines, offering them a loving and caring environment before adoption. I have experience and am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal! I have experience administering medications such as oral, topical, and inhalers. I am currently working part-time and taking an online summer class as a graduate student, so I will have some free time to stop in to check on your loved ones and take them for some needed walks! I am flexible to accept last-minute bookings as well. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and patient, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and respect I would my own.
“Rejon is absolutely lovely! She took great care of my senior Yorkie and left me very detailed reports for every drop in. Will absolutely use her again in the future ☺️”
“Celia takes such good care of my senior dogs and I never need to worry when I’m at work. The girls Love her and we are so glad to have found her during our stay in Binghamton!”
“Colleen is terrific! I can recommend her 100% without reservation. On short notice, she was able to drop in several times a day to attend to one dog and three cats. The photos she sent each day were a definite plus. You won't be disappointed.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I've raised dogs from puppies providing training and teaching obedience. Also providing assistance to senior animals. I currently work full time, 4 days a week (6am-5pm) Tues-Fri. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow for local visits and walks during working hours in the Owego area. Outside of working hours I am available in the 15mi radius around Johnson City. Within working hours or near, I am available in the 15mi radius around Owego. I offer one on one attention to your animal providing meals, water and bathroom breaks. Also including plenty of play time, exercise, and local hikes.
“Alex was awesome to work with! He came the day before for a meet and greet, followed instructions, took great care of our puppy and communicated very well before/during/after visits. 10/10 recommend him for all your pet care needs!”
About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with a Labrador Retriever who lived to be 16. Sadly, his health slowly deteriorated as I was in graduate school while living at home, but this allowed me to gain valuable experience with a senior pup. I have always enjoyed horses and horse-back riding, I often volunteered through college at a local stable to get my horse fix! Something about those gentle, giants just speaks to me! I have watched several friends and family members pets at their homes while out of town. I have had friends recommend me to their other friends and family as well. I have demonstrated reliability and integrity. I currently have two cats, Finley and Paisley, and a floppy eared rabbit named Willow. I often bring Willow to work with me; she acts as a therapy rabbit at my place of employment. I also frequently assist my parents with their current rambunctious Labrador Retriever, who I lovingly refer to as my "puppy brother." I assist with walking, bathing, feeding and doing drop ins when they are gone for the day. Currently I do work a full time M-F, 8-4 schedule. However, due to the nature of my job, I have summers off so my availability will be much more flexible towards the end of June. Currently, pet care would have to be in evenings and various weekends. My own pets are spoiled beyond belief and I would do the exact same for yours! My pets are my children, not just animals, and I intend on treating everyone's fur babies as such. For drop ins, I have no problem feeding, watering, changing litter boxes, crating or playing with your pet. For walks, I am comfortable with picking up feces and following leash laws/regulations.
About: I've always taken care of my family pets, and have dog-sat for family friends! I kept up with meds, food, play, and anything else the dogs needed or wanted. Anyone I've asked said that they were more than satisfied with my care. Over the summer, I'll be taking online classes and have a part-time job, so I'll be pretty flexible when it comes to stopping by or walking dogs! I unfortunately will not be able to offer services at my own home. I have dogs where that type of activity just wouldn't suite them.
About: I would love to care for your animals! I own a boxer named Buddy, and he is very friendly and loves animals of all shapes and sizes. I am also a Wag! Walker, so I have experience with taking care of dogs, along with walking them and boarding them. Someone will be home full time, all the time while your animal is in my care. I also offer 30 minute walks where I would travel to your home and walk your dogs. I also own a cat, and have owned cats all my life, so if house sitting, I am also very well versed with taking care of cats, and other small animals. I know that my animals are my best friends, and I would love to meet yours! I work from home full time during the week, so I am very flexible to take care of your animals! I am also mostly available on the weekends unless otherwise stated. I have a dog of my own that I walk around my neighborhood throughout the day, and plenty of play time and attention is also a necessity

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vestal on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 265 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vestal. 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 Vestal 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 Vestal. On Rover:
- 76% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
