“Natisha was an amazing sitter for our Louie. She was attentive, gave updates, and our Louie boy absolutely loved her! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Hannah was wonderful with our poochie! She sent lots of photos, kept in touch often, and he seemed very content and relaxed! Will definitely book with Hannah again- she took the stress out of us being away from home!”
“We have used dog sitters in 38 states over the past four years, and we have never had our dogs react to us like, “Oh, you’re back…” when we got home! Carrie came in the night before her scheduled arrival time to spend more time with them before we left very early the next morning, and except for a few quick trips over the three days, she never left them. She is impeccably clean, well-mannered, and loves animals. Obviously, she has our highest recommendation for anyone needing help with their fur babies.”
“Sophie is terrific! She took great care of our two dogs while we went on a week vacation. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry knowing our fur babies were in great hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Rylee was amazing taking care of my furry kids. She sent pictures and kept in touch the whole time we were away which was for a full week. When I came home the bed linens were done and dishes done. Highly recommend for anyone that is obsessed with their dogs than I am. Can’t wait to plan the next trip now that I have found Rylee!!!!”
About: Ever since I can remember we’ve had a fur friend in the house! My family and I at one point in time fostered fur friends until they could go to their forever home! I have been around and taken care of all kinds of dogs from pit bulls -chihuahuas! I am working part time right now and going to college online to be a speech and language pathologist! The times I work do vary between morning shifts and closing shifts! I want my fur friends and family to feel as safe and cared for as I do in any environment! I want them to feel loved and sometimes extra cuddles are needed… not that I’m complaining! My fur friends get lots of cuddles whenever they want and or need them! It’s important to be mindful of emotions in humans and fur friends!
“Alyssa is absolutely amazing! This was our first time hiring a sitter so we were very nervous, especially since we just rescued a new pup a couple months ago and didn’t want to upset her! Alyssa put us at ease with a ton of updates and photos of my dogs enjoying some outside time and getting all the snuggles! She was so kind, paid attention to detail and left our house spotless. Next time we go out of town, we can’t wait for our pups to hang out with Auntie Alyssa!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs (and have owned them) since the age of 10… I’ve helped many friends, family, neighbors and more with a variety of services. Anything from walking, feeding, sitter, boarding, etc. I can help with whatever you need! I’m a teacher and coach so I work from 7am-5pm, weekdays. I also work a part time job on the weekends here and there and can be available throughout the day/night. I’m pretty flexible and can make time whenever you and your pet need! I’ve owned Beagles, Chihuahuas, Shiz-Tzus, Jack Russel’s, as well as worked with German Sheppards, Labs, Doodles, Pitbulls, and many other dogs. I will do to handle and take care of your pet with the best care as if they were my own. 😊
“Alayna is an awesome sitter. Takes great care of our dogs and house. Always providing timely updates and some of the best pics of our dogs that we have. If she is available, Alayna is always the first person we request when we need a sitter.”
About: I have watched a friend’s mature dog in her home while a family member was hospitalized. I have always had rescue animals in my home it is always been a priority for me to love animals and treat them with the respect that is so well-deserved. I have two rescue kitties that I care for every day. I am semi retired, spend special time with my fur babies and exercise every day. I would like to rescue a dog, but if I could spend time and love other people's pets, it would be a very rewarding experience. Since I have two kitties, I prefer to care for pets in the clients homes. My one kitty is 16 years old and I don’t want to subject her to change an environment. Every morning, I am greeted by my kitties, before eating breakfast I give them their morning treats. After exercising in the afternoon, it is dinner time for them so I feed them, they nap and then we bond later in the evening, while one sits near me and the other one sits on my lap. Having cared for several dogs in the past, I take them for walks, engage in playtime and take time to bond. At one point in my lifetime I had three rescue dogs who all got along famously. They were an extension of my family and sadly, eventually passed from old age. I will love your dogs in the same way and treat them with kindness and respect. Their comfort and security are my main concern, along with your peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and secure.
“Jaszmyn was absolutely wonderful in every aspect of caring for our pets. Her communication was excellent, and she perfectly balanced the needs of our older, fragile dog with the high energy of our other two dogs. We highly recommend her!”
“We booked a last minute travel and we were looking for someone to take care of our baby girl in our home, Lindsey got back to us quick, and was available. Lindsey is responsible, punctual and the most important, Lilica loved her! She sent us pictures of Lilica, we loved it, we could enjoy our travel knowing Lilica was in good hands! I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a great petsitter to take care of your furry friend while you are away! Thanks again Lindsey, Lilica misses you! Hope to see you again anytime soon!”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire adult life. I have always had pets of my own. I did pet sitting for 20 years. I am a certified dog trainer and I was a breeder of quality med Goldendoodles for 10 years. I am retired and live with my three Goldendoodles. We live in the country on a half acre. I am home most all the time. In my retirement I am able to stay at your home 24/7. This gives you piece of mind that someone will be at your home all the time and not just popping in for visits.
About: Love & caring for animals isn't for just anyone & everyone. It takes dedication, love, knowledge & patience. My Aunt has a farm that I spent most of my summers growing up. So my love for all animals grew even more from dogs & cats to goats, horses, pigs, horses and my favorite, Rabbits! I was dog walking bathing,sitting and just loving them around age 12. Whatever my neighbors,family & friends needed for their furr babies I would be there to love & care for them. I do have some training abilities but no expert. I know how hard it is to leave your babies & I promise to always communicate, video chat with your furr baby whenever you need. Any special requests your pets needs I'll be there for them. ***IMPORTANT**Please Read***Future clients to know ***I also base my fees on miles driven to clients home, large breed dogs etc... So the price can be adjusted if needed ... Other Example.... Overnight stays, walking, bathing etc . For reasons of me having to leave home to run errands, pay bills etc... I do prefer dogs to be crate trained if possible. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs... Bella she's half Mastiff/German Shepherd. Bella & Bear are both create trained. Bear is a Pomeranian that belongs to my daughter. 1 cat "Sparky" Tabby that thinks he's King!!! Currently I do my own schedule, and . So my time will hopefully be available when your furr babies need. I do have other side jobs I do. So I can work around most things for care of your furr baby.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for four dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently have an 8-year-old mutt named Tucker who is incredibly sweet. Tucker previously went through heartworm treatment, so I have experience following medication schedules and giving medication as directed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’ve also owned and cared for parrots, iguanas, lizards, hamsters, and many other animals. I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet like one of my own. I’m currently in college and only have about three hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout most of the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. My apartment is very pet-friendly and comfortable, with plenty of places for dogs to relax. I even have a couch specifically for dogs, along with a dog bed and other cozy spots throughout the apartment. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you provide.
About: Hi, I'm Heather! Thanks for stopping by. I've spent the last 25 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings. I've worked as a dog trainer, groomer, veterinary assistant, pet sitter, and in boarding and daycare facilities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs medications, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated while you're away. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I squeeze in around other commitments. When caring for your pet, I strive to keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, I pay close attention to their individual needs, preferences, and comfort level. My home is dog-friendly, with a secure fenced yard and dog door access. Pets staying with me are welcome on the furniture and bed if that is allowed in their home, though I'm happy to follow any household rules you prefer. When providing drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and mindful of both your pets' well-being and the security of your property. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets and home are in capable hands. Safety is always my top priority. With more than 25 years of animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing stress signals, managing introductions between animals, administering medications, and adapting care to each pet's individual needs and temperament. Because every animal is different, I carefully assess compatibility and can separate pets when needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and safe. For boarding, I only accept dogs that are well-socialized and have no history of aggression toward other animals. I can offer pick-up and drop-off when boarding with me. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals beyond dogs and cats, including horses, goats, sheep, poultry, birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I am happy to care for multi-pet households and can also help with plants, gardens, and other basic home-care tasks while you're away.
“Sher provided great feedback and communication. We have never had someone stay over and she made sure to ask lots of questions and check in with me on how things were going. I would 100% recommend for future sittings.”
About: Over the years, I've taken care of a few different animals. I've watched chickens, horses, dogs, and cats for my grandparents while they were away. I've also had experience with dogs with disabilities. I have two German Shepherds; one is blind, and the other has joint issues. My love for my pets is infinite, and I promise I'll share that love with your pets. My future pursuit is to study veterinary medicine. I work at an animal hospital from 8am to 5:30pm. My weekends annd evenings after work are free giving me an opportunity to spend all day with your fur babies. Your pet safety is a priority. In no way will I put your pet in any danger, I’ll do as you instruct, I’ll follow your food guidelines, medicine, etc. as for your home I do not plan on doing anything other than what you tell me to do, I won’t go in places I’m not allowed and if I make a mess somewhere I’ll immediately clean it up. In conclusion I will treat your home like it’s my own and I will most definitely love your dog and care for them the way I love and care for mine.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Advent Crossroads
I think everything went well while I was gone and the dogs seemed to have enjoyed Laurel and her son Eli, anybody who will get down on the floor with them is loved. We kept in touch while away and she had no problems with them except getting Georgia to eat, but she is always like that. Did a great job and stayed a bit later because my plane was delayed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Advent Crossroads 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 Advent Crossroads 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Advent Crossroads 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
