“Maggie went above and beyond! This was our first time using Rover, and I’ll admit I was hesitant. We have a diabetic, blind dog and another who gets incredibly down whenever we go away. But Maggie was amazing from start to finish. She sent us photos and updates that showed both dogs were not only doing well, but genuinely enjoying themselves. She even got Fiona, our shy girl, out of her room for walks and playtime outside! On top of all that, the house was tidied up when we got back, which was such a thoughtful surprise. We’ll absolutely be using Maggie again in the future!”
“Ashlyn is amazing! She loves both of our dogs so much and I always know they are in great hands with her. She was great with our puppy and even helped work with him on some training.”
“Jennifer is so sweet and my boys loved her. She took the time to read all my notes and kept us informed on how they were and what they did together. She pays attention to the little details. The dogs warmed up to her pretty quickly and I know they miss her! I hope she will be available for us again!”
“Tia was amazing, sent us constant updates with pictures and we never had to worry how our dog was doing. It was the best peace of mind we could have had over our weekend travels. Thank you Tia!”
“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”
“Another wonderful stay experience with Amy! She does a great job caring for our senior dog, keeps us well informed while we are away and the added bonus of always returning to a very clean home. Thanks again, Amy!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I worked for a vet office as a vet tech assistant for 2 years before moving back to Ohio.I fostered for the Franklin County dog shelter and my old vet for over 10 years so I am familiar working with dogs. I have 2 orange cats of my own and grew up with cats. I'm currently home until further notice so my days are free to help with what ever your pets needs are.So as long as you let me know what's needed I'm happy to adjust. I outline what is expected of me from the owners and will go from there. But I'll usally take the dog out to potty and then take them on a walk or play with them with there dog toys. I'll hang out with the cats and play with then with there cat toys
“Holly was great as always. We have been using her for years and will continue to do so. She did house sitting for us and kept our house very clean and did extra things without any problem like clearing bed sheets and putting away our food delivery. Our dog Kirby was well taken care of.”
“Toni did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our dogs! She communicated wonderfully throughout her stay and was attentive to their needs. She made sure they got plenty of walks, attention, and quality time, and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She stripped the guest bed and put the sheets and towels in the washer, washed the dishes, and kept everything clean. Toni was wonderful to work with, and we truly appreciated the care she gave to both our dogs and our home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be working with her again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Tiana, and I’m 23 years old. I’m currently studying Pre-Veterinary Animal Sciences at The Ohio State University and working toward my bachelor’s degree. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals! I also have previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for pets who may be older, anxious, or have extra needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! As of august 25th I will be back fulltime at the ohio state university. I have classes on campus from 8am-3pm. I offer pet care for morning, late afternoon, and evening, only on WEEKDAYS. However on WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, and LONG WEEKENDS, I am available for 24/7 care! I will send texts, pictures, and videos of all activities that your pet and I will do. From playing together in your living room to even snagging a pic of potty time, I’ll make sure that you know your pet is being cared for and safe. I will also give daily updates and tell you what we did for that day!
About: I have always taken care of fur babies since a young girl. I would say I cannot see myself living without it. Currently, my family all have dogs/ cats and I make sure they have play dates and spend time with one another. For a living I am a licensed mastered social worker/ and therapist. The way I care for people, is the same way I care for the quality of life our pets (family). I work a pretty basic schedule. As of now, I am home mostly since I am on call. I am free on weekends. As I began my work as a school clinician, I will be working in a local school close to my home. I have much space in my home, if needed I can also crate your pet (if requested). I live in a pet friendly environment with lots of opportunities for walking and exploring.
“Janel has stayed at my places and watch my boy Ollie many times now. I am so thankful to have someone to trust while I’m away. She always leaves my home very clean and takes care of everything. I always know Ollie will be loved and well taken care of with her. I would recommend her over and over!”
“Samantha was very communicative throughout her stay with our Mickey. Sent us regular status updates and pictures. She also took good care of our house with it looking just the way we left it. We would highly recommend Samantha and will definitely ask her to watch Mickey again if she is available.”
“Ben took great care of our pets while we were out of town. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates he provided and how quick he was to respond when we messaged him. The only downside is now our dogs might expect even more walks than we provide them when we’re home.”

Jen was outstanding with Penny. She came to meet her ahead of time to learn her habits. The stay went well, good communication and lots of pics. She is very calm and gentle. Jen stayed at my house and was the perfect guest giving Penny great attention. Highly recommend.
Thea was great! She spent four days with our 3.5 month old puppy and 17 yo cat and both were wonderfully cared for… and likely more spoiled with attention and cuddles than when we are home! She was great at communicating and sharing pictures/ updates and I never once had to worry about our pets while we were away. We came home to a clean house and washed sheets, to boot! We will definitely request Thea again if we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend!
Katelyn was wonderful with our dog who warmed up to her right at the first meet and greet. She sent daily pictures which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was comfortable while we were gone. We are very grateful for her care as it made it easier to enjoy our vacation.
Another great pet sitting from Swathi! She has watched our pups for big trips and every time I’m so impressed with her level of detail and care. She sends lots of updates and pictures during her stay too which is always a perk. When I need a sitter, she is our go to! Thank you Swathi!
Paula and Kaidy did a wonderful job with Max and Laney my kitty. I received photo updates of walking and playing and information daily aput how they were doing at home. Made it so much easier to be away from them. MY home home was safe in their presence. Clean and tidy upon my return. Happy to make their acquantance!! Would not hesitate to use Paula again. She is very friendly and responsive.

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 Amlin 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 Amlin 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 Amlin 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!

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 .

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.
