“Vanessa was great with Maddie. She was upfront about her schedule and let me know any changes during the stay. Maddie is very easy going and easy to adjust to other people's schedules, so I had absolutely no issues with Vanessa's hours as long as she took great care of Maddie, which she did. She sent daily comments and pics on how things were going. It was a huge bonus that she was in close proximity to our house, which is rare. I highly recommend Vanessa and will use her again if needed without any hesitation.”
“Kevin is kind and most thoughtful. Winnie felt immediately at ease with Kevin, and as a result, we have booked more pet/house sittings with Kevin! We appreciate Kevin's care of our home - he's immaculate! It gives us peace knowing Winnie is with Kevin for a walk or Kevin is caring for Winnie for a several days in our home! Kevin is a great decision - and is usually booked far in advance so contact him as soon as possible.”
“Stefanie is a Fantastic Pet Sitter. She went above and beyond with my cat Juno and my dog Winx. She sent daily updates along with daily pictures of both of my animals. Stefanie also took my dog Winx on daily walks, went to the park, and went on car rides with her. Juno had lots of fun as well with all the entertainment she brought back to my house. Both Juno and Winx had lots of fun! I will definitely be having Stefanie watch Juno and Winx again 😁”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our sitter, Tarryn! She was absolutely amazing with both of my pups, but especially patient and understanding with my stranger-shy boy. She actually did **two meet-and-greets** beforehand to make sure he had time to get comfortable with her, and that meant so much to me. She never rushed him and took the time to earn his trust. Throughout the stay, she was wonderful about checking in regularly with updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She also went above and beyond with my 15-year-old pup, making sure he received his medications exactly as needed. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pups in her care. I came home to two happy, well-loved dogs, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We will absolutely be booking her again! ❤️🐾”
About: I have plenty of pup care from family, friends and fur babies of my own. I can do anything your baby needs and more. From only a few weeks old to an old doggo. My schedules are super flexible whatever your pup or kitty needs I can make happen for them. I am a SAHM with 2 kiddos sometimes they may need to tag along. I wake up early most days and take my pup out for a potty break and following that I feed her. Depending how busy the day is I will take her to the park or if I am watching other pets I will take them on a super long walk.
“Leah has done a great job for us. This is the second time Leah has sat for us. She is a pleasure to work with and takes good care of our dogs. She leaves our house very clean and the dogs are happy with her!”
“Brooke took a really good care of our two dogs. They were happy to see her and relaxed when I got home. She is a great communicator and flexible. We are definitely planning on working with her in the future.”
“We’ve never had anyone house sit (just out of being cautious) and Chris was awesome! Kept us updated, stayed with the pups and kept the house clean. We’re definitely going to be going to him again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of many different ages. I grew up on a ranch and am very comfortable with strict feeding schedules, medications, or whatever needs your pet has. I have been around animals my entire life. I do not currently have any pets and I truly miss caring for them. I would love the opportunity to care for your animals like my own when you are away. I’m a busy single mom that works full time. However, my weekends are very flexible and I am looking to help others out while also getting some furry friend time. I can’t have pets at my rental so I would love the opportunity to be around animals and care for them. I truly miss it! I am very respectful of pets and their owners property. Please tell me what needs to be met and I am happy to provide that. I have experience with strict diets, medications, walking, playing, kenneling, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of doggies for 12 years for family and neighbors. I will love and care for them like my own. I will always go above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of before leaving. This is my full time job so I can be available on same day appointments or scheduled ahead appointments. Whatever is convenient for you, will be convenient for me. I am gentle and can read a dogs energy. If they are timid or full of energy, I will be sure to accommodate your dogs needs.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Always loved all animals but dogs really are my favorite. I’ve had them as pets and cared for them for others for decades. When I used to deliver pizzas people always commented how their dogs didn’t usually like men or people or any number of other reasons but they were surprised how much their dog seemed to like me. Eventually I may own a doggy day care, and would love to actually start a rescue for animals. I’m currently pretty flexible. I wax recently disabled and was unemployed while waiting for surgery. Now no longer disabled but have plenty of flexibility to cover many needs your furry family member may have. I recently lost a lot of weight by just walking so I’d love to continue to get my steps in with your dogs. Dogs would be welcome to come to my house where I do have two elderly big boys of my own. They generally are froendly but if your dog is high energy it may not be a good fit. My oldest one is literally the guy to tell hyper dogs to get off his lawn
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I’ve had dogs since I was little. I love taking care of dogs. They they deserve their world. I love taking care of dogs. I’m available on the weekends for boarding but weekdays I’m available to walk your dog. I love walking them after I get off work. It gets my mind off things. I live in apartments, but I have a lot of grass for dogs. Use the potty and I have also two dogs at home to make your fur baby company.
“Emily was wonderful! Our dog has lots of little quirks and can require lots of energy from a dog sitter. Emily did great with him. We’re so grateful to have found someone that can cater to his needs and stay in our home. Would absolutely recommend Emily!”

“Our dogs love Dillon and we do too! It’s so reassuring to leave our house and beloved pets in his car when we’re gone. The house looks great when return and the animals are happy and contended thank you, Dillon.”

I have a deep passion for animals, especially horses, dogs, chickens and cats.

My love for animals has been a constant throughout my life, bringing me comfort and companionship. As I continue my journey in Wyoming, I hope to further explore my passion for animals and possibly get involved in animal welfare activities in my community. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I go above and beyond to provide personalized care tailored to your furry friend's needs. From daily walks to playtime and snuggles, I create a nurturing environment that makes them feel right at home. I’m currently a home maker. I’m home Monday through Sunday.

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 Altvan 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 Altvan 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 Altvan 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 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.
