“Mary was absolutely amazing! I’m pretty sure when we came home from vacation my dog was sad that she wasn’t coming back. She was attentive, loving, responsive and truly the best person for our pup when we couldn’t be there. We hope to use her again. Thank you Mary!!”
“Jacob was AMAZING with our four...challenging pets (two cats, two dogs). His communication with us was clear and consistent throughout our entire trip, he followed all of our instructions exactly as we asked, and our animals (and house!) were all well taken care of. I can't recommend Jacob enough!”
“We’re so glad Anthony was able to stay with our little dog while we were out of town! He kept us updated the entire time and it was easy to relax on our vacation knowing Sunny was in great hands.”
“Christina is wonderful to our pups. She is very friendly and did everything we asked. She is also very responsive and accommodating. Our pups and house is very well taken. Will use Christina in the future!”
“Kiara did a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat last weekend, keeping them on a good feeding and walking schedule, hanging out with them, and providing medicine to my cat. She was responsive in a very timely manner, keeping me posted on how things were going throughout the weekend, with texts ad photos. My house was in perfect shape when I got home and my dog and cat were happy -- the best evidence that they had been well cared for and completely at ease with their sitter. Thanks, Kiara!!”
“I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!”
“JonJon was amazing. He went above and beyond in everything he did. He spent so much time, cuddling the cats and made sure everything was taken care of every day, including medication. I felt confident and comfortable in his ability to manage the cats and the medication and everything else that went along with it. So kind and thoughtful. You can tell he loves spending time with my cats, which is just so great.”
“James was fantastic with Louie! He was great about staying in touch, sending photos, and taking care of Louie and amaking him feel well cared for. I would definitely have him again anytime!”
“Lily did a great job caring for Trudy! She was attentive and very receptive to all of the specifics I had shared with her. She stayed with Trudy at my place, and Trudy was definitely in very good care with Lily!”
“Alexandria is always so responsive and flexible - she takes great care of our fur babies but also is so easy to work with, it makes the process of going away for a trip so much less stressful! She always updates us with any info about our pets, but definitely has the experience to know what is a big deal and what isn't. Having someone at home that we trust makes a world of difference!”
“Rob was very attentive to Shelby and gave us great updates while we were gone. He was very responsible about communicating ahead of our trip and even stopped by beforehand to review everything. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Stella had an extended stay with our pup and she was so wonderful at making sure our baby felt comfortable while we were gone. It was our first time being away so we were understandably anxious about how Philomena would do but Stella sent us loads of updates, photos and videos. Our pup had a wonderful staycation all thanks to her!!!”
“Alexis was a great house sitter for our dog & cat! It is hard to leave beloved pets behind when traveling, but Alexis took great care of them and proactively shared frequent updates and photos to put us at ease. I think we were hardly missed! Thanks Alexis!”
“Cassidy was wonderful! She was patient and kind to my two pups who take a little longer to warm up to others. Her daily updates were perfect and she treated our pups like her own. Our home looked the same as we had left it as well!”
“So kind and good with my three dogs! I am a very anxious dog mom when I leave them, and she sent me so many pictures and updates, and every time I texted her she answered right away!”
About: I have a dog at home, but due to her reactivity I am unable to foster or adopt other animals. I love playing and being around all types of animals. I’ve housesat for my family and friends since I was about 13. I would love to help out and take care of your furry friends while you’re away! I am currently working Monday-Friday 9-5 during the week. So my availability would be Friday to Sunday, so if you need a weekend getaway I’m your girl! My home is unavailable for petsitting due to my dogs reactivity, so caring for your animal in your home would be mostly just following your rules! It’s important to learn your dogs usual schedule to help them feel more comfortable while you are away!
“We had such a great experience with Lauren! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”

Alexis stayed at my house with my anxious senior dog, Lily, over a four-day weekend, and she exceeded all my expectations! She took wonderful care of Lily and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip. Best of all, Lily was relaxed and happy when I returned home, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Alexis and will definitely book her again!
Highly recommend Greg. He was thorough and professional during the meet and greet, leaving us feeling comfortable having him at our home. Our dog Bucky can be anxious around new people and situations, but immediately took a liking to him. It seemed llike they had a great time!
This was the first time I had a sitter stay with my Willa, and Brittany definitely made me feel at ease with the love and care she gave during the weekend spent away from her. She sent pictures/updates and treated my home with respect. I am very grateful to know I can trust her with any future needs, I truly appreciate everything 🥹🩷

Melissa watched our puppy for about 5 hours in the evening. I was initially nervous to have someone watch our young 10 week old puppy who had only been living in our house for a couple weeks. We also had our puppy on a schedule for naps, potty, and play time. But Melissa immediately put my nerves at ease when she came to our house for a meet and greet a couple days before. She welcomed all the detailed information I provided about our puppy's schedule, asked questions and was more than happy to stick to our puppy's routine. When she arrived, she was so appreciative of some last minute details I wanted to share before leaving. The night went smoothly and she was so attentive and caring to our little girl! She kept to our puppy's schedule and even sent us pictures while we were gone. She even put our puppy to bed in her crate before we got home because she knew her bedtime was at 11pm. Melissa was so easy to get to know, friendly, trustworthy and took incredible care of our puppy! I must also add that she was agreeable to watch our puppy while my in laws babysat our children at the same time in our house! That is huge! We will 100% be booking with Melissa in the future!
Emily came through once again for Mr. Max! I felt so bad because I had just gotten him a new brand/flavor of chews and they just did not mix well with Max's belly, so Emily had to deal with a puppy with bubble guts! But Emily took it in stride, even made some white rice for him and by the next day he was back to his high energy, zoomie running, constant tug of war self. Thank you Emily for making this puppy mom feel at ease!
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our three pups, including two seniors with some special needs, and we felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home. She was incredibly thorough, asked lots of great questions, and made sure she understood all of their little routines and quirks. We really enjoyed having her and came home to three very happy, well-cared-for dogs. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house sitter!

I had a 2 week trip planned before deciding to adopt my foster dog. I was nervous to leave her as she was newer to my home. Christina did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of her! Walks, treats, play time and frequent updates with photos. I would highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting needs. She's the best and my dog Lucy loves her!

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 Audubon Park 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 Audubon Park 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 Audubon Park 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.
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.
