“This was our first time leaving Bertie with a sitter - and using River - and we could not be happier! Donna is the BESTEST! We look forward to seeing Donna again 🥰”
“Tayler did a great job of watching our pets for the week. She was patient with our chihuahua mix that has a hard time trusting new people. She sent photos and checked in every day. Our pets were happy when we got home and our house was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Tayler for pet sitting!”
“Kieran was a fantastic dog and house sitter. Our dog Pando was happy and healthy and when we returned and the house was in perfect shape. Kieran was responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our trip. Thank you!”
“Megan was a really great sitter for our two cats. She gave frequent updates and many photos/videos, and peace of mind while on our vacation. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed to have barely noticed we were gone! She went above and beyond and took good care of our house as well, and left it clean and tidy.”
“Sparkle house sat for our 2 1/2 year old dog & 12 year old cat, for a weekend. Sparkle was excellent in letting us know when they had arrived & when they had left the house. They were very diligent & patient getting to know our dog. And he clearly adores Sparkle. Our standoffish cat also warmed to Sparkle. Excellent care to our fur babies. Plenty of photos. Sparkle was very tidy & I very much appreciate their effort. They have strong communication skills. And the neighbors were delighted to meet them. We are hoping for many more visits.”
“I have had dogs all my life but have always used a kennel. Since my girls are getting older, I really wanted them to stay in their familiar safe place...home. I interviewed a few Rover sitters and decided on Kiana, loved her personality, smile and contact with my two Westies. I couldn't be more pleased with her. She sent regular pictures and texts to let me know things were going fine. I came home to a clean house and even some peanut butter cookies! I will definitely use Kiana in the future. Thank you Kiana!”
“Alicia was wonderful with Bernie and Lucy! Bernie has some special needs, so it’s really important to us to have someone who is attentive, patient, and comfortable with his routine. Alicia did a great job with both dogs over the long weekend, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’d happily have her watch them again and definitely recommend her!”
“Amanda stayed at our house to sit our two dogs for a week, and she was great. She was extremely responsive to messages and sent us super cute photos and updates. When we returned the house was clean and the pups seemed well cared for -- they are somewhat high-energy dogs, and they go crazy if they don't get enough exercise. We will be requesting Amanda's services again for future trips!”
“Jamie too such good care of our girl, Piper! He provided frequent updates and checked in as needed. I could tell from the pics that Piper enjoyed Jamie’s company. She was very relaxed and pampered. Jamie was a natural with her - taking her on walks and letting her lounge in equal measure. As a 9 years old, she enjoys bursts of energy, but is more likely to sleep on her blanket or to pretend to be a speed bump! I didn’t worry at all while we were away. I would highly recommend Jamie to take care of your fur baby!”
“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”
“Lunetta asked lot of great questions up front to make sure that my dogs had great care while were gone. I received thoughtful updates and it looked like my dogs were having a lot of fun!! My house was clean and tidy when I came home. I will definitely be booking Lunetta for future sits.”
“Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”
“Naomi was super responsive and great about sending pictures and photos. She made my (high maintenance) pup immediately comfortable and she took great care of him. I highly recommend Naomi!!!”
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“Merry was punctual, and a good communicator. She was very friendly and clearly cared about my animals well being, and safety. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Mario did an amazing job taking care of my dogs, Coco and Lola! He was reliable, caring, and treated them like they were his own. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Coco and Lola were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with him. I really appreciate the attention and care Mario gave them. I would definitely trust him to watch Coco and Lola again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Mario!”
“Matthew went above and beyond!! Very very kind person. Very professional. Left the house nice and took care of our kitties well and he even left the coolest gift and note at the end of it. Best Catsitter we’ve had and we’ve had. Highly recommend!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Battin
Karynne is fantastic! I almost don't want word to get out about her because then she'll get all booked up and have no time for my cat and dog crew. I've booked her twice and she's been responsive both times and even cleaned up after my over-eager puppy. The animals seem to love her, and she takes the dogs on plenty of walks. 100% recommend.
Corvin was really great. He stayed at my house for a full week and walked my dog twice a day gave him food exactly as I directed plus some pills kept the house clean and it was great knowing that my dog was safe. He sent me pictures every day it was really a great experience. Thank you Corvin.
Charlie is hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! Our dogs never look particularly happy when we leave, which makes us feel bad while traveling. But with Charlie, they looked so happy, relaxed, and completely content, which made our trip so much more enjoyable. Charlie is wonderful at communicating and sends lots of pictures and updates, which we absolutely love. He is a 20/10 & couldn’t recommend him more!
Kieran was so lovely and kind to our dog who is very sweet but suffers from anxiety. I’ve never seen our dog take to someone new so quickly. We instantly knew our dog was in great hands and that allowed us to enjoy our wedding weekend. Thank you again, Kieran!
Kay did an incredible job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away! They gave us regular updates about each morning and evening that made us laugh about our dogs. They followed instructions to a T and we always felt like our dogs were in great hands. They were very personable and friendly and we plan on using them again!
Mario did an amazing job taking care of my dogs, Coco and Lola! He was reliable, caring, and treated them like they were his own. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Coco and Lola were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with him. I really appreciate the attention and care Mario gave them. I would definitely trust him to watch Coco and Lola again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Mario!
Jackson is the best! I’ve got a senior pup and a lot of anxiety around her health and Jackson was super helpful- reassured me, asked great questions, sent updates, pictures, etc. He also checked in about how much communication I wanted, which was helpful. He’s gentle, kind, and super easy to work with. I felt totally safe leaving my little girl in his care. Thank you, Jackson! Looking forward to working with you 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 Battin 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 Battin 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 Battin 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.
