“Paige did an excellent job sitting for our Belgian Malinois (Hoobie) and our Chocolate Labrador (Bella). Paige was timely and efficient, spending much time playing with the dogs and making sure they were comfortable. Paige had come by several days before to meet the dogs, and when she showed up the day of sitting the dogs were thrilled to see her! Handling two dogs at once (especially a Malinois!) can be challenging, but Paige made it look easy, you can tell she loves dogs and all animals! We highly recommend Paige, and will be asking her to dog sit again soon!”
“Annie was a wonderful Dog sitter. She was reliable, kind, attentive and I loved her great communication and getting the daily pictures of my crazy dogs while we were on vacation. We have two giant dogs and they can be a handful but she took on the challenge and my dogs loved her. I would highly recommend. Thank you so much Annie”
“Lorraine was great! I got text updates and phone calls. It was comforting knowing they were in good hands! I look forward to using her again for my July vacation:) Thanks”
“Brady stayed with my three Aussies for ten days. (1 of which is on medications.). They were loved, content, and happy. I got updates throughout the time and pics of them all cuddled up on the sofa with Brady. I can’t thank him enough for the time and care he took with them. I highly recommend.”
About: I live next to a large walking trail and have many years of personal dog care experience. I have a large backyard. I’m currently in nursing school so I have lots of free time to care for your doggie I am currently working part-time and attending nursing school, so when I am not working, I love to take care of dogs! My work and school schedule is flexible especially during the summer! I currently do not have any pets as my dog of 14 years passed away but I do have a large backyard and a walking trail near by that is easily accessible.
“Makinzie was great! She was willing to help with an overnight weekend stay on really short notice. She took great care of my dog and was very communicative throughout. Would recommend and will book again.”
“Tiffany did a great job with my pup Wilfred! Lots of pictures and she’s very responsive and worked with my schedule. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a dog sitter!!!”
“Eric D. is wonderful! Took care of our dog Joy and she had a great time! We had a long day away from the house for a wedding, and we needed someone to play with our active playful dog. A friend recommended Rover, and Eric had great reviews. We contacted him and he came out to meet Joy beforehand and go over things. He was right on time and Joy liked him immediately! The day of he was right on time too, and took great care of Joy all day. They went for walks, played frisbee, and he even helped with the cats. Eric D. is great with animals, great with communication, and very nice, polite, and just a great find all around! Thank you so much, Eric! Joy was happily exhausted at the end of the day when we returned home.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was 5. Golden retriever, beagle and many, many kitties! I have also fostered cats! I’ve had bunnies as well. I love to pet sit. I’m currently a college senior with a very open schedule. I work a part time job at a bakery Tues Thurs and Saturday! I only have classes during the mornings and I’m very flexible. My priority is making your baby feel safe and comfortable! Whatever that takes I will do to insure your pet is happy. Happy to take advice or instruction from owners prior to the sit!
About: I have grown up with animals , cats and dogs. I also have been looking after animals consistently for over 23 years. I am comfortable with giving medications, taking care of small dogs in my house or yours, cats, caged animals ( hamsters,etc) . I am also open to care for small farm animals - goats, chickens . For care in my home my dad is home all day and would be able keep dogs company ( I am going to do all the walking). We have a pet park where we live. I am available in the early mornings and evenings for drop in visits. Unfortunately I can't do mid day visits. In the home my dad is home with them all day, I will do the walking, but he is able to take them out for potty breaks. In my home my cats are dog friendly, and they can have the run of the house or have private space depending on their needs. Our pets have free run of the house other then kitchen counters, they sleep with us, up on furniture,etc.
“Laura is a gem. We are very selective about who we leave our dog with bc he is such an important part of our family. Laura put as at ease while we were away so we could enjoy our trip. She is so sweet and was excellent with communication the whole time. Our dog loved her too and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I have owned my dog for the last 10 years, since he was 6 months old. Growing up, my stepmom was a vet (still is) so all kinds of animal care was a staple in our household. Currently my only work is part-time bartending, so there is plenty of time for pet care on a weekly basis. I am very flexible to fit the pet care needs. I am more than happy to come to any client's home. I am a homeowner myself, so the property will be properly cared for in my presence. As much as I'd love to host pets in my home, my dog's nature would not allow for it. I'll come to you!

This was our third time using Mary for dog sitting at our house. We trust her wholeheartedly with our dog Goose and when we return our home is always tidy and our dog is happy. I think he has a wonderful time with her and she provides many picture updates. Thanks Mary!
Michaela is a dream. I’m an anxious dog parent and i had zero anxiety while away on my recent trip. She’s kind, caring and you can tell how much she loves dogs. Her communication level is exactly what you’re looking for when trusting someone with your four-legged family member. My doodle girls loved her and i know they’ll be excited whenever she comes back. Will book again and cannot say enough positive things.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ackworth walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ackworth maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Ackworth 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
