“This was the first time I was leaving my fur babies overnight with someone other than friends or family and Kaycey was amazing! She was able to offer a meet and greet for my in-home request ASAP and meeting her was like meeting a friend! The care she provided for my pets was great! She was responsive, informative, and put me at ease. We will 100% use her again!!”
“Triston was incredible! We had to book last minute and Triston stepped up to take care of our 2 dogs and 4 cats! I will definitely be booking with Triston in the future!!”
“Kendall was beyond friendly and responsible. She was extra caring communicating with us before we booked with her, sending her ETA when she came for a meet and greet when we were looking for a house and dog sitter. Kendall is the perfect house sitter as she is self employed and therefore can do a lot of work from home. She let us know exactly when she had outside commitments such as business meetings so we knew our pup would have plenty of company while we were gone. She also asked many questions to make sure she knew exactly what we were hoping for in terms of care. We received many updates and photos while we were gone and Kendall sounded like she generally enjoyed everything about taking care of our pup. Kendall left our home in spectacular condition. Thank You Kendall!”
“Alex was amazing with our Lab Ginny. She is so responsive to any communication and she sends pics of your fur baby while u r away. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting and esp overnight stays in your home!!”
“Kira was amazing with our beagles. Kept in touch, took care of everything, and treated them like her own. We were so pleased with how well she cared for Luna and Neko and look forward to booking with her again. Excellent sitter and Luna and Neko’s new best friend!”
“He did a great job with our pets while staying with them! It was nice to know that the animals had someone reliable and attentive looking after them while we were away, and that they could stay where they were comfiest, at home! He handled all of our (and our pets) needs wonderfully and we would gladly have him sit for us again.”
“Kristen was wonderful! She took excellent care of Pepper and Merlin while we were away. She was attentive to their routines, followed all medication instructions, and made sure they received plenty of attention and quality time. Communication was great throughout, and she kept me informed, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages that arrived while we were away. Most importantly, I came home to two happy pups! I would absolutely book with Kristen again and highly recommend her!”
“Mara was absolutely wonderful with our little pittie! She was great at sending us updates. Our dog loved her and Mara even helped her learn not to jump on people! We will definitely be booking with Mara again!”
“Janini did a fantastic job house sitting for our puppy while we were on vacation. Her communication was excellent and felt we were in good hands the whole time. She was great with sending updates, pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend her to watch your furry friends.”
About: I am a young professional with two orange cats of my own! I've been watching animals for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid; I love cats and dogs of all colors, breeds, shapes, and sizes. I'm currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or satisfy your unique care needs! I'm lucky to have a flexible schedule, so I strive to accommodate others' schedules to the best of my ability. Safety is paramount for me. As a pet-owner myself, I strive to meet the needs of each pet without putting them at risk of harm or distress.
“Michelle was great to work with! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and took amazing care of the house. We came home to two very happy and well cared for doggies :)”
About: As a Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion and attention to detail naturally extends to animals.. I know your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same patience, love, and vigilance I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping them on their routine, giving medications, or simply providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship, my goal is to keep them safe, healthy, happy, and loved while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind. I believe your pets deserve my undivided attention. That’s why I only accept one family at a time. My hybrid work schedule allows me to work from home two days per week, and I can often adjust those days to be home even more with your pet. Depending on how far your home is from my office, I am also be able to come home for lunch for walks or playtime. If your pet is happiest in their own environment, I’m happy to provide care in your home. I can care for multiple dogs, cats, or a combination of pets, and I’m also open to caring for other animals. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I’d love to learn about your needs and how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members. Let’s chat and create a plan that’s perfect for you and your pets!
“Lucky was lucky to have such great care from Rico 🤩. Communication was excellent and the pics sent thru during his stay captured Lucky’s personality wonderfully…did he even miss us 😬. Any pup would be in good hands with Rico’s care and attention. Have already booked him for another upcoming trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have handled dogs as small as Pomeranians and as big as full grown pit bulls. I also have experience in caring for pups as young as 8 weeks and as old as 13 years. I currently work 9-5 until end of summer and spend the rest of my day with the pups. I go to the dog park almost daily. I wake up at 6/7am to feed the dogs let them out and have time with them before work. When I get back they eat dinner, go on a walk, and finish at a dog park before going home to relax. I have a privacy fenced in yard, lots of treats, two fur babies of my own who love to meet new friends and will keep your babies company. I allow dogs to be in the couch to enjoy comfort and snuggles if wanted. I also own a large crate for any pup to use if they need a space away to themselves.

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 Alexanders Corner 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 Alexanders Corner 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 Alexanders Corner 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.
