“Dannie was flexible, kind, and easy to work with. He provided care under unique + high maintenance circumstances where he accommodated 1) the need for flexible timing and location while I traveled to town for work and 2) to care of my dog who requires constant vigilance to manage a subtle injury where inattention could result in immediate paralysis.”
“My dogs were well cared for with Sophie while we were away, as was my apartment! Sophie cleaned up after her stay and even put our grocery delivery away for us which we did not ask her to do. My dogs had a wonderful time, thank you Sophie!”
“We were on vacation in Nashville needing a sitter and not knowing anyone in the area made it difficult until I found the Rover App. I was able to do a video chat with Stephanie, which made me feel comfortable with hiring her. She is very pleasant and easy to deal with and to talk with. If we are ever in Nashville again, I would definitely hire Stephanie again.”
“I needed a last minute dog sitter and took a chance on Seth. He exceeded all expectations! He took great care of my dog, respected my house, was easy to communicate with, and frequently sent updates. I would recommend Seth and use his services again!”
“Melissa took great care of pups cuddling and loving on them. Our pups have medicine and are picky eaters so feeding can be a chore. Melissa took care of all of that and more. Dixie is shy and has high anxiety and Melissa C. Won her heart immediately. She communicated with me regularly and sent pictures of the pups! We have booked Melissa C. already for our next trip. We can rest assured knowing our pups are taken care of. Thank you!”
“Overall, we had a good experience and felt like our dogs were well cared for. The only thing I wish we had received was a little more communication throughout their stay. We would have loved more frequent updates and photos just to know how they were doing and have that extra peace of mind while we were away. Otherwise, we appreciated her taking care of them and willing to work with one of our anxious pup.”
“April was absolutely phenomenal. She did a meet and greet very last minute and when we went to the hospital to have our baby, she was very flexible to make sure our dogs got the around the clock care so that we could focus on our family. The dogs are OBSESSED with April!!! She gave so many wonderful photo and text updates. We can’t wait to have April back so soon!!!!”
“Elizabeth was reliable and my baby loved her! She took good care of my home and Kitty for 10 days and went above and beyond to make sure I had a clean home to come home too as well as communicate while I was away! Strongly recommend.”
“Sarah was the best sitter for my two pups!! She took great care of both of them and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay at my apartment while we were away! Sarah sent many updates while we were gone and handled everything with the storms perfectly! I will definitely be booking with Sarah in the future!”
“Elyssa was fantastic. Followed my instructions perfectly, provided great updates and always made me feel that my pup was in good hands. Will look forward to booking again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly really nervous about leaving our two babies for the weekend. Aubrey completely exceeded our expectations from the very beginning. She met with us ahead of time for a meet-and-greet with Tate and Topher and took the time to carefully go through all of our care instructions, which immediately made us feel comfortable. While we were away, she sent frequent updates with pictures and videos, which meant so much to us and really kept our minds at ease. It was clear Tate and Topher were having the best time! They looked so happy, getting lots of walks, playtime, and opportunities to run around throughout the day. Aubrey treated them like her own, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again for our next trip. Thank you so much, Aubrey!”
“Zubin took amazing care of our two pups on a recent 10 day trip! We were both nervous to leave our girls for such a long period of time but felt SO comfortable the entire trip because of Zubin’s great communication and care. Thank you Zubin!!!”
“Krystal took such care with my pup! I was a first time Rover user and Krystal was great and sending photos to ease my mind and keeping up with my many specific instructions for feedings, walks, playtime, etc. She left my house and dog in great shape while I was gone and that made me a happy camper!”
“I enjoyed Tiera looking after Diamond , She followed the minor instructions in caring for my Princess, She’s a wonderful sitter I know Diamond was pleased with her as well ….. Thank you so Much 😍”
“Margaret was easy to communicate with. Our dog is very nervous and she treated him great to calm his nerves. Sent pictures and messages to reassure all was well.”
“We have had many different great Rover Agents and Erin is the best! She is not only a dog lover she took care and loved our cat equally! One of the many other things Erin does on a stellar level is take MANY pictures and blend them all throughout the day as a story- Erin will be the only Rover that we will need!”
“Lindsey really made the effort to learn and conform to my dogs’ routines! Very respectful and responsible. Good communicator and showed up on time and ready to hit the dog trail. Excellent sitter!”
“Angela was wonderful with our dog. She provided updates multiple times a day and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend her and will be rebooking with her for a future trip.”

Krystol did such a great job! We needed a last minute sitter for our two dogs for our wedding weekend and she stepped in and watched our dogs and house. She is a great communicator and send lots of photos which were such a treat while we are out of town for our wedding missing our dogs.
Melissa took great care of pups cuddling and loving on them. Our pups have medicine and are picky eaters so feeding can be a chore. Melissa took care of all of that and more. Dixie is shy and has high anxiety and Melissa C. Won her heart immediately. She communicated with me regularly and sent pictures of the pups! We have booked Melissa C. already for our next trip. We can rest assured knowing our pups are taken care of. Thank you!

Sophie was amazing looking after my 2 dogs for a week whilst I went abroad. My little girl dog had a UTI and so needed medication given to her which Sophie was great with. She also sent so many photos each day which was really comforting. Would definitely recommend!
Dannie did a wonderful job caring for my two large dogs and they returned home happy and well-cared for. I had an unexpected health emergency during the booking that severely impacted my sleep and ability to communicate normally, and I so appreciate Dannie’s patience and professionalism while dropping them off. They followed instructions perfectly, and I highly recommend them for their reliability and great care!
We had a great experience! He was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We have three animals who each require separate care and have different needs, and he handled everything wonderfully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and would absolutely use him again!
Ashley was great!! Very communicative throughout the entire week that we were gone. Sent lots of pictures/updates to keep our minds at ease that our fuzzy guy was well taken care of. Even left the house in better shape than it was when we left. Thank you so much!!
Rachel was a dream! We had a last minute emergency and she was able to watch Tobey on short notice. He loved her and they had the best time together. She gave us constant updates and we knew Tobey and the house were well cared for. I would recommend Rachel to absolutely anyone. She is amazing!

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 Avondale 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 Avondale 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 Avondale 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.
