“Vincent was excellent! It was our first time booking Vincent, and he even dropped by before our trip to meet Buster and learn about our routines. We had Vincent stop by several times throughout the day and the communication was amazing. He sent us pictures of our dog, Buster, out in the yard, on a walk or two, etc. Our dog was well taken care of and loved while we were away!”
“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 ☺️”
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Colleen was very responsive to all messages and came out very early to keep my cats on their regular feeding schedule. They all have very specific food needs and she did a good job ensuring that they were receiving the right food and mixing in enough water. She left good feedback as well to make sure their eating habits were in line with normal. She also was able to get close enough to our shyest cat to send a photo at every visit.”
“Hannah was AMAZING! She treated my dogs as if they were her own, even my small chihuahua mix who is scared of everyone and pretends to be a pit Bull. By the end of the second 30 minute visit they were on the same side of the doggy gate spending time together. She took tons of pictures which made us so happy to look at while we were gone. She even included pictures of the dogs food to show they ate and how much! (Our dogs only eat a little when we are gone, so refreshing to see they felt comfortable enough to eat with her). I recommend her a million percent she was extremely professional, easy to deal with, and again loved our dogs as if they were her own!”
About: Hi! I’m Shell, a compassionate and dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets and working in a veterinary hospital. As a Veterinary Assistant, I’m comfortable handling animals, paying attention to their behavior and needs, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I treat every animal like an individual—not just another booking. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and loved. 🐶💗 I’m attentive to details, reliable, patient, and always willing to follow your pet’s specific routine and instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you don’t have to wonder how your furry friend is doing! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first. I work as a Veterinary Assistant, so animals are already a big part of my daily life! I’m excited to bring that experience into caring for your pets. I’m experienced with handling animals safely and recognizing when they’re stressed or uncomfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine carefully and provide a calm, safe, loving environment.
“My dog sitter is absolutely fantastic! She goes above and beyond to ensure that my dogs are well taken care of, showering them with love, attention, treat/toys and plenty of playtime. She’s always punctual, communicates with me regularly to update me on how they're doing, and even sends photos that show just how much fun they’re having. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and I can tell my dogs feel comfortable and happy with her. Knowing they’re in such caring hands gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care, behavior, and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have three dogs of my own. Feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them is just built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy the structure and joy they bring, and caring for animals has become second nature to me. At home, I keep my dogs on a consistent routine with feeding, walks, play, and grooming. I’ll care for your pets the same way—with love, attention, and reliability, making sure they feel safe and happy while in my care.
“Robyn was very punctual and sent timely updates after each visit. I knew our boy was in good hands in her care. I would absolutely work with Robyn again for my large breed guardian dog. Thank you Robyn”
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.
“Carissa is the best of the best!! She treated our two cats like they were her own while we were away. Her communication was great and we came home to a clean house and two well cared for babies. Highly recommend!!”
“Landry and her husband did a great job taking care of our cat. They did a good job with the basics (food, water, etc) and gave him his medication. I got pictures from each visit when they were playing with him.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Vestal is $20

I can't say enough good things about Johnna. This was my first time having Johnna pet sit for my dog and three casts. She sent me several pictures of the pets and wrote informative reviews of how they were doing. Johnna walked Flossy, my dog each day. She was meticulous in terms of picking up after the animals. When I returned I found the house in order. Johnna is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her.
Elizabeth did an excellent job checking in our two dogs. She was great with communication and made sure they had dinner and a walk. We're grateful we were able to travel to see family for Thanksgiving knowing she was able to check in on the dogs while we were gone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vestal on Rover is $22.2 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 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:
- 78% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
