“Faith was absolutely AMAZING! We feel so lucky to have found her. She was incredibly attentive to our boys. They can be rambunctious and get themselves into some trouble and Faith would immediately let me know what happened (like one of them stealing a pumpkin and destroying it all over the couch 😅). We will definitely be having Faith come back to take care of our boys.”
“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“I can't recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to our fur babies and honestly Winnie was totally spoiled with picnics and play dates while we were away. I hope we can have her back with us for our next trip!!”
“Absolutely best rating possible! Our baby is a lot of work and requires someone super capable of keeping our dog active and understanding his needs. She kept house clean, followed all tips, and was super communicative. Meechy was so happy to get snuggles and feel safe all week :)”
“Erica is amazing! She took such great, loving care of my lab!!!! she sent many pictures and updates and I could see how happy my dog was! I travel a lot for work so this gave a great peace of mind! i highly recommend her!!!!!”
“Joanne is absolutely excellent! She is kind, communicative, and did a great job with our dog. She followed all care instructions and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. We got frequent updates and felt so at ease with her watching our dog. When we returned home, our dog seemed so happy, calm, and relaxed. An absolute pleasure to work with, we look forward to hiring Joanne again!”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing! She provided updates and pictures regularly. She took great care of our furry family member and we will absolutely book her again. Thank you Shannon!”
“Kim is very sweet! She was so kind to our pup, and when we came home, our pup was healthy and happy. She kept us up to date each morning and evening. The house was in perfect shape when we returned. Kim even offered to strip the bed, clean the sheets, and make the bed! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in Kim's care. I highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I'm Casey, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, including eight dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, and goats. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've gained years of hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for rescued animals, administering medications, and following specific feeding and care routines. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting some extra attention, I'm happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently work full-time remotely, which gives me excellent flexibility throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate different schedules and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable caring for multiple pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits around your pet’s routine and give them the time and attention they need. I follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I take time to build trust so your pet feels comfortable with me, and I’m careful about secure doors, gates, and leashes. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.
“Amy was wonderful. Great communication. Morning updates for how the night went and then another update or two throughout the day. Our dog can be a bit anxious so we felt so much better knowing he was able to chill in his own space instead of in a kennel all week. Will absolutely use her again (already tried to for an upcoming December trip but she's already booked!).”
About: Hey all! Wonderful to meet you. My name is Nicole and I am 30 years old. I was born and raised in North Wales, PA and have been providing pet care to my community since I have been able to walk around the block by myself! I have always had family dogs of my own. A Shetland Sheepdog named Shelby, and we still have our Nala bear with us who is a rescue mix, and we have had her since I was a junior in high school. I've branched out over the years. I used to volunteer at special equestrians, taking care of the horses and their stalls. My first job out of high school was at a pet store. I provided care to all the animals even down to the mice. I administered medications orally, cleaned their living spaces, and fed them. I own a fish tank, and I used to own a bearded dragon. I have provided cat care as well. I have a lot of experience in and outside of Rover. When I lived in Philly about 7 years ago I signed up for Rover and had watched quite a few dogs through the app as well as watching dogs just through recommendations. I moved out and ended up deactivating my account. I decided to come back on here, and I am looking forward to meeting you! I currently work 5 hours 5 days a week from 12:30-5:30. We can discuss more details on care if you are interested. I would love to have a meet and greet before service starts so we can go over exactly how you’d like me to care for your pet.
“Mike did a great job with Bernie! He was highly Communicative, sent lots of pics and took care of Bernie like he was his own dog. He cooked for him, took him on long walks and played with him. Highly recommend!”
“Brian and Georgette were amazing! They were so patient with our annimals and treated them like they were their own! They sent us pictures everyday and took care of our house while we are gone.”
About: My name is Sophia and I have loved animals since I was little. I have 3 fur babies myself! Brandy, Bourbon and Whisky (my little bar cart if you will). I also have a rabbit named Toast and all 4 of them are the light of my life. Every morning I wake up and they greet me with kisses and demands for pets. Of course I always give in. I have a bachelors in large animal sciences, have volunteered at forgotten cats for years, and have worked in emergency, oncology and dermatology departments. Currently I work at another veterinary clinic that helps dogs and cats get quick emergency care for more minor issues like ear infections. With all my past experience your fluffy ones will be in good hands! Since I work during week days and sometimes weekends, I would try to be back with your pet(s) as much as possible! (I work a total of 4 days a week and my schedule can be random since I’m in veterinary emergency). Weekdays I work 3pm -11pm and weekends I would work 10am-8pm. Any other time would be spent taking your pet on walks, brushing out their fur, giving them treats and all the attention they deserve! I can stay with/walk pets before work on weekdays. Weekends I would be unable to walk them unless you are okay with my hours and I am doing overnight or long term pet sitting. I would take your dogs for walks or let them out into the yard as much as possible. I will follow instructions left by you and make sure to give many updates and pictures! I believe pictures are the best way to feel comfortable with your pets care while also getting those cute pet moments while your away!
“Jason did a very good job taking care of Bently and he work on training ideas. Bently enjoyed Jason and was given daily updates with pictures and videos. We were out of the country and Jason worked with us on an app to keep us informed about Bentley.”

I couldn’t be happier with the care Sara provided for Lily and Herman. Leaving a pet behind is always stressful, but after meeting Sara at the meet and greet, made me feel completely at ease with frequent updates, cute photo check-ins, and clear communication throughout the trip. Would not hesitate to use her again.
We had such a great experience with Amy! She took amazing care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout our time away with plenty of photos, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Kendall took good care of Bambi for me. She fed her, walked her, and stayed overnight with her. Bambi was her usual self when I got home (not traumatized). Kendall went beyond what I expected by laundering Bambi's blankets and taking the trash out. I would definitely recommend Kendall.
Brittany did 2 night house/dog sitting for my senior blind dog. She was very nice, communicative, and sent photos - no complaints here! One thing I really appreciated: there is a large gap in the day between feedings so informed her a head of time that she may leave for a bit like 1-4 hrs if needed for errands, appointments, etc (she did not ask! I came out with this and usually tell sitters this). I just dont want my dog alone all day and night as I work from home and am always here, and I do not want too much in and out or just walk ins. Closer to the scheduled sitting, she kindly let me know she would need to step out briefly which I confirmed was still fine. Without me asking her to do so, she messaged me when she left with expected time of return and messaged me when she officially returned
We went away for a week and had Nicole take care of our dog Teddy. He is very shy and not used to strangers. He warmed up to her immediately and they had a great week. She sent us pictures of him and kept us aware of what he was doing each day. The house was perfectly kept and I really felt confident being away and not worrying about the dog or our home. I would absolutely use Nicole again. She was responsible and reliable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,687 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Acorn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Acorn 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 Acorn 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 Acorn 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.
