“First time using Jill and all went excellent. Regular updates with photos and details. House was spotless when we returned home and the boys told us they had fun. Thank you so much. Look forward to next time”
“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”
“Pamela did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 dogs and cat while I was gone for the weekend! She was punctual and responsible, followed all my care instructions, sent photos and updates, and was delightful to work with. I would definitely have Pamela watch them again.”
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“Catherine was awesome - we had 3 pups under her watch and all were looked after great (walked, fed, and played with) and had a fun. They were tired when we got back, so we know they enjoyed it!”
“I was overwhelmed by how much my dogs enjoyed spending time with Brian ("Barry"). When I arrived home after a short trip, they were completely bonded to him and wouldn't leave his side. I loved the daily pictures of my two dogs. They were so well cared for and actually smiled for the photos. Barry kept in touch frequently to let me know that all was well. Shelby and Luke loved going out for walks with him. He kept my home safe and spotless, and my gang was in absolute heaven spending time by his side. I very much hope that I can have him stay again if ever needed. He is a gentle and highly responsible pet sitter!”
“We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!”
“Nicole and Steve did an amazing job looking after our Zona! We were away for a weekend and wanted someone who can stay at our place, since our dog is a senior with poor vision. Zona felt really comfortable with them. Nicole updated us daily with pictures. Her experience with animals made us feel at ease and we knew Zona is in good hands. We came back home to a happy dog and a clean house. Nicole and Steve are great and we will definitely use their help in the future!”
“Josaphine was a fantastic dogsitter for our anxious, sensitive pitbull. She stayed with Lola during 4th of July week, which can be a lot for anxious dogs. We were so grateful to have Josaphine caring for Lola during this time. She also sent nightly updates and left our house neat and tidy. We will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Melisa stayed with our two toy poodles all day on Christmas and could not have been nicer. She took great care of them and was so flexible and helpful. I would definitely use Melissa any opportunity we get.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last seven years. For the last two years, my fiancé and I have had three dogs: A pug, a Shih-poo, and a beagle. Our puggy and beagle recently passed. I have experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and some puppy training. I also have experience bathing animals. I’m generous with the treats and even more generous with the snuggles! I work from 9-5 M-F but am remote on Mondays, Fridays and alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can do drop in visits for walks any time during weekends and in the evenings and occasional afternoons during the week. We have a fenced in yard at our home, but our babies also get walks. With me, your pet will come first and always be treated like one of my own.
About: I’m a huge animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by animals, from our family pets to the horses I rode at a local ranch. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I walked and cared for many different dogs. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I even have some experience with training them. I train my own dog since she was a puppy. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’m here to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, belly rubs, and a great time while you take care of your daily responsibilities. Let me take your furry friend for an adventure—playing, running, or just enjoying a nice stroll. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my priority, and I promise to bring lots of energy, love, and care every time! Let’s chat and set up the perfect walk for your dog (or even your adventurous cat)! 🐾✨ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home! I have a flexible schedule, so I can take dogs for walks, play, and give them attention throughout the day. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! 😊🐾 I provide personalized care based on each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. If caring for a pet at a client’s home, I follow their routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well-cared for while their owner is away! 🦴🐕
“Tina was great! My dog was a bit sick and she took good care of her. Tina is an upbeat person which I think was fun for Ruby! Tina communicates well. I have already booked her again. Highly recommended!”
“Nina made pir dog and two cats so happy. She was great with the dog, took him on new adventures and even brought in our packages from the steps! Thank ypu so much for a great experience!!”
“Hannah was amazing with our elderly pup, I would highly recommend her. She kept us updated and sent pictures which were not necessary but so nice because we have never left our 12 year old lab with anyone before! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Alayna stayed overnight with our (extremely!!) anxious German shepherd and not only made him feel comfortable but made us feel like he was in good hands as well. She is communicative, proactive (went out and got his favorite treats when we ran out), and just a nice/easy going person. Will be happy to have her sit for Theo anytime.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I love walking dog and spending time with them I have no problems with taking care of the house as well when people are gone as well, including cleaning up, vacuuming, dishes, ensuring mail is collected and taking care of plants. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. When I get up in the morning, I prefer to take the doggos out first thing for a quick walk around to let them go to the bathroom. We then head back to have breakfast together. Throughout the day, I will keep an eye on them to see if they need to go out. If they are a puppy, we will go out every 2 hours quickly. Otherwise, I tend to wait until around 4 hours to do another walk around, usually as a longer walk or if weather is bad, give us a chance to play at home for a while after lunch. I work remotely so I’ll still be able to work while looking after your pupper and will be keeping a close eye on them throughout the day. We’ll do another walk/play time around 3-4 before I start working on dinner and ensure we both get fed. At around 7 or.8, I’ll have us do one last walk around to take care of business before bedtime for adult dogs. Please keep in mind I’m aware that for puppies and senior dogs that schedules may need to adjust and we can have those conversations depending on need. I am not able to take pets into my own home at this time due to restrictions on my lease. So I will be relying on the equipment that you have in your home to care for your dog. I want to make sure I am using the food that your dog eats and the treats that are your safety standards. I will keep your dog on leash while on walks at all times, and be sure to follow whatever rules you have for your animal.
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

Abhay was amazing ! We met him Monday night after another scheduled dog sitter cancelled last minute on us and was kind great communicator He showed up the next morning and took care of our girls for the next 4 days sent pictures updates the entire time We hope he becomes our regular sitter and friend Great great experience
We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!
Melisa is an outstanding house sitter as well as cat sitter. This time, Melisa sat for us for a week in July. She was responsible for taking care of our cat, our pool and our plants (indoor and outdoor). Of course everything was well taken care of. The additional thing that I really like about Melisa is that, besides being highly responsible, she is a warm person. It is important that the kitty likes her, but we do too! We have used her before and plan to do so again.
Benjamin did a wonderful job taking care of our German Shepherd, and we are so grateful. We would absolutely book with him again in the future. He was prompt and responsive. Sent us lots of lovely photos of our dog looking happy and well-taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for better!
Leidy took excellent care of not only our two pups while we were away on vacation, but our home as well. It is an understatement to relay what a true sense of relief (only do you completely enjoy vacation when you know your pups and your home are safe and in great care)! Thank you again Leidy, thank you for the pictures of the dogs throughout the week! ❤️🍀 Next travel trip will happily request you again! ❤️🍀
Manal was fantastic!! I have never left my guy with someone who wasn't a family member, but she cat-sat for an entire week and I could not have felt more at ease. She was always in touch, sent me tons of pictures, and kept me updated so that I always felt like I knew what my cat was up to! It felt like she really cared about him and got to know his little personality and all of his quirks, and I could tell from the pictures she sent that he was so happy! I was so stressed leading up to that trip, but all of that immediately disappeared on day one. I can't recommend Manal enough - if you are like me and get nervous leaving your pet with someone else, Manal is your girl! She is gentle, attentive, and caring (all of his care instructions were followed meticulously). Thanks for taking such good care of care of my boy!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We booked very last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible, even with our special requests. She gave us daily updates that truly put our minds at ease, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for our dogs. They were treated like family, Charlotte even let them sleep with her! We came home to very happy, well loved pups. We’re so grateful and would 100% book with her again.

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 Avon 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 Avon 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 Avon 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.
