“Kim is very personable and easy to connect with. She remembered details about my dog’s care She also watched my house and informed me when my water feature stopped working. She loves dogs and it was clear that she loved mine. Pictures while I was away helped me cope with being away. The house and my dog were both in great shape when I returned after I was away for a week. She was very flexible with scheduling and even followed up to make sure that I didn’t need her to check back in — in case we had a flight delay. She will definitely be my first choice moving forward.”

“Once again Keri took very good care of our two dogs, two cats, and a bearded dragon!!! She also took care of our home and we will continue to utilize her services for our future pet care/house sitting needs. She is the best!!!”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different kinds of animals. Since that time, I’ve rescued a few cats and dogs with mental and physical issues. I’ve learned that each animal has their own personality and needs and am happy to provide what they need. I have a flexible schedule. I am able to give your pet the time they need. Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, or some cuddles. I am able to follow instructions. I understand how important it is to keep your pet on a routine, especially when you are not home.
About: I am begining my pet care journey and desire to build long lasting relationships with families who value a having peace of mind knowing their dog is safe, excited, and loved while you are way. Pet sitting is much more than feeding and taking them to potty. Your dogs should have play time, snuggles, and great naps with someone who loves cares for them like their owners would. Thank you for considering me to take care of your pets, keeping their routines, and following all your instructions. I am looking forward to caring for your furry companions. I am a junior physical education major at Southern Wesleyan University. I am dependable, detail oriented, and compassionate. I have had many pets in my life and love each one of their personalities and loving hearts. I want to gain experience in this field to not only earn money for my education, but to gain understanding of the animals that make me forget the worries of this life. My schedule changes every semester, but I can consistently be available from 7pm to 7am on the weekdays and can stay at your house. While you are away I will also take care of house keeping duties like taking out the trash, washing the dishes, and keeping the house tidy. I will be more available on the weekends to play, walk, and entertain your furry family. I will not be available to board animals, but I will keep your pets safe in their home. All dogs need exercise, but keeping them safe is very important. I will walk dogs on leashes only and will never take your dog to a dog park. The environment may be great for socialization, but their is also a potential for dog on dog violence. I would also like to pet sit in neighborhoods, subdivisions, or gated communities so I can walk your pet in a safe place while also having neighbors to call in case of an emergency. I take your pets safety seriously. I would rather limit their play to a few places than to put them in danger. Your pet cannot be happy if they sense danger or are placed in an environment than increase their anxiety.

“Colleen was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd. She was so sweet and attentive with him, and she kept us updated throughout her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! I would recommend Colleen 10 out of 10 times and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I've taken care of multiple rescue bunnies since I was 15 and gained experience looking after pregnant rabbits and newborn litters. In addition to rabbits, I also have a golden retriever named Bluey, who I've had fun training and taking care of since she was a puppy. I am also a college student majoring in Animal & Veterinary Sciences and am currently working at a veterinary clinic! Pet care fits into my daily routine and weekly routine because I already take care of my bunnies daily. Additionally, I aspire to become a veterinarian, therefore I hope to interact with and care for animals on a daily basis. I care for pets in my client's homes in a variety of ways. This can include feeding them, taking care of litter and waste disposal, grooming them, or just playing and spending time with your furry companions! My grooming services can range from bathing to brushing their fur and nail trimming. My purpose is to ensure that your furry loved ones are comfortable in their home and still feels loved and happy while you are away!
“Ava is an absolute lifesaver and an incredibly sweet person. We had a day trip planned, but my wife was quite sick. We almost canceled, but my wife braved it out and we went anyway. We ended up running late, and Ava called to check in on our return time. When I explained the situation—and that I thought I might even have to take my wife straight to the hospital—Ava didn't hesitate to help. She immediately told us it was no problem, offered to stay longer, and even volunteered to keep the key so she could come back the next morning to feed our dog and cat and take them out. Her flexibility and genuine compassion turned a stressful day into a manageable one. Her parents should be incredibly proud of the person she is. Five stars—we cannot recommend her highly enough!”


About: Hi! My name is Lillie Sabo, and I’m currently a student at Clemson University! I’m excited to offer pet-sitting services to families looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to look after their pets while they’re away. I absolutely love spending time with animals and know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like their own. I have two dogs of my own and it is very important to me to give others pets the care and love I want mine to receive while I am gone! My goal is to make sure your furry friends feel happy, comfortable, and loved every time they’re in my care! I am currently a student at Clemson University that is home for the summer! My schedule over the summer is pretty open besides vacations but other than that I can be available for all your needs! In my home our pets have a fenced in yard, water to access at all times of the day, they are fed at specific times of the day, and treats are their favorite so they get a few throughout the day! Your pets will receive the same love and care that my dogs at home receive for sure!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs every day as the proud owner of three Golden Retrievers. Living with large, energetic dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, fresh water, playtime, basic grooming, administering oral medications when needed, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they deserve. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, follow their routine, and provide plenty of love while their owners are away. I’m a reliable, organized, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply having calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Every dog deserves to be treated like family, and that’s exactly the care I strive to provide. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. As someone who recently relocated to the United States, I’m currently searching for my next full-time professional opportunity. In the meantime, I have the availability and enthusiasm to dedicate my time to providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’m happy to work with recurring schedules as well as last-minute requests whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I’m committed to being dependable and punctual for every visit. Once I begin full-time employment, I’ll update my availability accordingly. Until then, I’m excited to build lasting relationships with local pet owners while giving their dogs the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. As the owner of three Golden Retrievers, I’m used to handling large, energetic dogs and understand the importance of staying attentive, calm, and prepared during every walk and visit. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, medications (when needed), and any special routines. I pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level, allowing them to build trust at their own pace. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and choose pet-friendly routes whenever possible. I never leave dogs unattended and always make sure they have access to fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. Communication is also very important to me. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same care and affection I would give my own dogs.

“This was my first time using Rover and everything went so well with Natalie! She followed my instructions perfectly and provided me with updates while she was house sitting with my dog! Would definitely recommend! :)”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I take pride in my ability to communicate and treat other people as well as animals with mutual respect. ✝️💪🏼 I am currently a full time student for nursing. I have class Monday-Friday but should be available later in the afternoon/evening. We will just have to communicate which is fine. I also go to the gym and to church on Sundays ✝️💪🏼. I have pets that are indoor and I let them out to play outside in a fenced in back yard. I also walk my pets to help them with their health and mine as well as getting rid of some built up energy that they may have.
“Riley is absolutely amazing and we are so lucky to have found her. We use her often, and every single time she takes such wonderful care of our dog, Mika. It’s clear how much Riley genuinely cares—Mika is always happy, comfortable, and well loved when we return. Her communication is great and she gives us total peace of mind knowing Mika is in the best hands. We couldn’t recommend Riley more highly and will continue to book her every time we need a sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashley Downs
Emilee was outstanding watching our dog for a week of vacation. She clearly cares for the ones in her charge and took care of us by sending regular updates and photos. Our dog is frightened of thunder so when storms came through, she immediately checked with us on how best to make him comfortable. Having someone so dedicated and dependable made it a little easier to be away from our boy.

I just can’t say enough good things about Hannah. She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of Binx and Biscuit. She left our home just the way she found it and cleaned up after the cats and herself. We will definitely use her again when we are away from home for a long time. Our cats loved her too💕

Mary was great house sitting and watching my two high energy dogs (Aussies)! She did daily walks as well as playing in the back yard + was able to accommodate their special needs (prescription food for one and chewable meds for the other). I would absolutely recommend her as a dog walker or sitter as she loved my dogs a whole lot.

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 Ashley Downs 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 Ashley Downs 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 Ashley Downs 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.
