“Kyler and Hannah were amazing in home sitters for our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town! We received lots of picture updates while away and any concerns we had were addressed promptly by Hannah and Kyler! Our pets loved them and it gave us peace of mind while across the country. We will definitely be booking with Hannah and Kyler again!”
“Kayla was the best Rover we’ve ever used. She sent us pictures daily of our pups and she was extremely communicative. We did a meet up before our trip just so she could meet the pups and they warmed up to her right away (dogs know ?) You won’t regret using Kayla as your in home dog sitter. She treated our home with respect and we came home exactly the way we left it.”
“Kelly was wonderful with our two boys while we were away. They were obviously loved and cared for in our absence - as was our house - and we couldn't be happier with Kelly's services. We don't leave town often but when we do, we will definitely reach back out to Kelly”
“Autumn was great with our three crazy girls over Christmas weekend. She was respectful of our home, and everything looked the way we left it. The girls seemed like they had an absolute blast. Autumn communicated with us throughout the days and sent lots of pictures. She was also working with us to make sure the girls got dinner on time when we thought we would be late getting home. Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and I’m comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities. With dogs, I’m experienced in walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and providing plenty of exercise and attention. With cats, I handle feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and administering basic medications when needed. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always provide patient, dependable, and loving care. I currently work a morning shift, which makes me available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends for pet care. This allows me to provide dedicated attention for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and check-ins later in the day. I’m reliable, flexible after work hours, and committed to making sure your pets are well cared for and comfortable Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities while caring for them in your home. I respect your space and follow all care instructions exactly as given, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and home security preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secured, and I provide updates with photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s environment calm, clean, and consistent to reduce stress and help them feel safe
“Mackenzie M. did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Princess Poppy! I felt completely comfortable leaving Poppy in her care because she was trustworthy, attentive, and treated her with so much love. I had no worries while Poppy was with her because I knew she was safe and well cared for. I truly appreciate the updates, care, and peace of mind Mackenzie provided. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our three dogs! She sent photos of them often and let me know they were having fun and being taken care of. She is very communicative and informative, she also left the house VERY clean which was a pleasant surprise when we returned from our trip. Jennifer is awesome and we plan to rebook with her in the future!”
“Mikayla was very professional and able to watch the animals last minute. I’m not sure if the expectations were unclear, but she arrived late for the house sitting and then the only updates I received were a few blurry pictures for the weekend of my 2 dogs and cat. When I asked how they were doing she said they were doing good…as a pet sitter myself and the fact that I emphasized that I wanted updates, I hoped that she would have told me when my dog didn’t eat and updates on everyone. Fix that and I’d give her 5 stars!”
About: I'm highly skilled at reading animal body language. I have experience with anxious, temperamental, excitable, shy, and senior pets. I've cared for cats since a young age and have more recent hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm comfortable supporting both energetic younger pets and older pets who require a softer approach. I am able to handle animals gently, give oral/injection medications, routine care, play, and feeding. I am currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday from 10:00am-6:00pm. On Thursdays and Fridays, I'm fully available during the day and usually make plans around 6:00pm, but I'm always happy to stop by before or after. I'm completely available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for visits, drop-ins, or extended care. I always make sure I'm aware of any pet allergies, medical needs, and medications that must be given. If a medication has to be administered at a specific time, I will adjust my schedule to ensure your pet's safety and consistency. I take care to keep toxic plants, foods, and loose wires out of reach, and I maintain clean litter boxes and bowls throughout my visits. If certain pets cannot share a space, I will follow your instructions closely to keep everyone safe and comfortable. In case of emergencies, I have a reliable vehicle that pets can safely ride in if transportation is needed.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have one of my own - golden doodle full of energy and curiosity! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised and secure, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
“Melissa held down the fort with our crew for a week (two big rescue dogs and two rescue kittens). She was quick to respond to any messages or questions and I felt extremely comfortable having her in our home. The animals were at ease with her quickly which was very important to us. We’d happily recommend her to others and hope we’ll have an opportunity to utilize her services again!”
“Jennifer was awesome. She followed instructions and was very good with my 13 year old dog. He continues to look around the house for her. I wish I had found her sooner. I will definitely use her every time I need a sitter .”

About: Hi! I’m a dog-lover located in Germantown, right by a beautiful walking trail that’s perfect for safe, relaxing walks. I have a large backyard with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and burn off energy throughout the day. I also have a very friendly golden retriever, Theo, who is neutered and loves making new friends. He is gentle, social, and used to being around other dogs, which makes our home a great environment for pups who enjoy companionship. My home is a calm, clean, and structured environment and I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including accommodating to feeding schedules, crate training, medications, and special instructions. Whether your dog needs daycare, overnight sitting, or a place to stay while you travel, they would have plenty of attention, exercise, and care while they’re here. Im also happy to do meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable! I work from home and usually never have to leave the house during the day, so your pet will never be left alone unless already discussed! Particularly for day care services, your pet will have access to the home and have a big backyard and plenty of space for comfort. Your pet will be in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I can introduce dogs slowly and carefully, especially when meeting our golden retriever Theo, who is neutered, very friendly, and used to being around other dogs. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and live near a walking trail where dogs can get safe daily exercise on leash. Inside the home, dogs have plenty of space to relax, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, crate use, medications, and routines. Only dogs that are a good fit for the home are taken in so that everyone stays safe and comfortable. I can provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is being well cared for. The goal is to make every dog feel at home!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and many different animals since I was a child! I had many pets ranging from birds, frogs, iguanas, hermit crabs, ferrets, cats, and dogs. I have always been an animal lover! I unfortunately do not get to have a pet of my own due to my husband being in the Air Force. Which means we move around a lot. This has been really hard for me considering the fact that my whole life I’ve been acclimated to caring for and loving pets. Being able to care for your pet while we are stationed here in the Memphis area would fulfill my dreams of being able to take care of animals. I’m currently a stay at home mom and disabled veteran. As long as my kids are at school (7 AM-2 PM) I am 100% available! Outside of those hours I could pet sit for you at my home! I can accommodate depending on your preferences for your fur baby and depending if they are potty trained. I have a 2800 sq ft home. And a huge back yard for your fur baby to play in.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! We have a German Shepard and mini poodle. I really enjoy dog sitting and getting to know and love your pet! I’m currently working full time, in the city of New Albany. I have a pretty flexible job, so I am able to leave when needed! My home is next door to my job, so I am able to check on dogs who are in my home at anytime. I am available any time on the weekends. I enjoy watching pets. I will be sure the pet does not mess up the home and will ensure that we will play together. If there is a fenced in yard, we will play there and go on walks.
“Adel was very kind and attentive with our pets. While pet sitting, he also handled visits from the irrigation team who came to our house. Additionally, he took care of one of my dogs during her first heat. He changed her diaper and remained extremely attentive to her needs. I recommend Adel wholeheartedly—100%!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 444 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alphaba. 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 Alphaba 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 Alphaba 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 Alphaba 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 with handling special pet needs in Alphaba. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
