“Isabel was an amazing house sitter/ dog sitter for our puppy!! She sent adorable photos and spent a lot of time outside with our pup! Would have her back in a heartbeat.”
“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my elderly cat Simon while I was away. He has some specific diet and medication things, and she made sure he was well taken care of. She communicated every day and I knew he was in good hands!”
“Marcy was absolutely excellent! She was incredibly kind, professional, and kept us updated throughout our trip with plenty of messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving medication with meals to one of our dogs, and everything was handled perfectly. When we got home, it was obvious our dogs had been well cared for. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. The house was spotless too. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Marcy again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities floor as long as I can remember, including special-needs pups through Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue. I also conducted home visits to ensure safe, loving placements. As a babysitter, I often cared for pets too, so I’m used to managing routines with flexibility and attention. I currently have two senior cats, both on daily oral medication, so I’m very comfortable giving meds and keeping older pets calm and cared for. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior who needs extra patience, I treat every pet like family. I’m currently a Fairfield University student graduating class of 2027. Being a student allows me to have a more flexible schedule and availability during the day when you might be at a 9 to 5 or on vacation. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m experienced in a wide range of environments—from city sidewalks to quiet neighborhoods and wooded trails. I’ve also ridden horses and worked with large animals, so I’m confident handling strong dogs and staying calm and in control in any situation. Through my work with Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, I was trained to recognize canine body language and understand behavioral cues—skills I use every day to keep pets safe and relaxed. I also conducted home visits for new adopters, which taught me to be observant, responsible, and safety-focused in unfamiliar homes. At home, I live with two senior cats, so I’m also very comfortable with feline care and ensuring a peaceful, pet-friendly space for all animals.
About: I'm relatively new to dog care, although I've been around them my entire life. At the moment I'm often tapped to walk, check in on, or stay with my girlfriends lab/hound mix who's 10 years old but thinks he's a puppy. What's important to me is that your dog is safe and happy and I pride myself on being communicative (before, during, and after) and paying extra attention to cleanliness. I work full time not far from where I live so nights or weekends are better for me. That being said, my schedule can be flexible and I can make things work during the day if needed! I am a neat freak by nature and will be uber respective of your home/property, making sure to extra clean up after your pet and my presence (of which there should be no trail!). Safety is the number one priority because when you're away you want to be sure your pet is in good hands.
“Olha was so sweet! she was proactive and thorough with her updates. She stayed at my home and took great care of the house. I have a cat with health needs and felt completely at ease with her giving him the insulin injections, checking his blood sugar and giving him his inhaler. Will book again!”
“Melissa took very good care of Louie - sleeping and just hanging out with him. He seemed quite content and calm when I returned. The house looked in great shape when I returned. I would recommend her highly.”
“We had a great experience working with Arshneel for the first time while we were just away for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable and responsive and gave our large, energetic dog plenty of exercise time!”
“Sarah was perfect for us! We have an elderly cat and dog and she catered to both of their needs and eccentricities so that we could go on a short trip without worrying about them. We will definitely be calling her back in the future!”
About: I grew up in a home with three Boxers and have always had animals as an important part of my life. As an adult, I’ve cared for several cats, currently have two of my own, and have experience caring for a variety of animals, including horses. I’ve also previously cared for a Maine Coon, so I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m comfortable caring for animals who may be shy, anxious, energetic, stubborn, or simply a little mischievous. I’m patient, attentive, and take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I was recently laid off from my job, so I have ample time to spend with your pet and get to know them and their individual needs! Pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by their familiar toys, treats, routines, and favorite spots. I’m more than happy to come to your home and care for your pets while you’re away, helping keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m respectful of your home and personal space and will treat it with the same care I give to your pets. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions and will make sure your pet’s usual routines, medications, feeding schedules, and other needs are followed closely. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Susie was a phenomenal cat sitter - she was attentive to all of Mocha's needs and was playful and comforting to her throughout the visit. The frequent photos and updates were so appreciated. Mocha got along with her immediately and had a wonderful time while I was away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for taking care of Mocha on short notice and for treating her so well!”
“Kept a close eye on my elderly dog with a heart condition. When something looked amiss, she contacted my vet and took my dog to Angel Medical. Chloe's back home, looking good.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Belmont
Ali did an excellent job house-sitting and caring for our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation. Our pup is reactive and we have fairly specific protocols for dealing with that, and Ali was able to handle those well. We got lots of cute videos and updates during the week. It seemed like our dog was very comfortable and happy around Ali. Overall doggo seems like herself and our apartment was well cared for. We’re grateful to Ali and would book again!
2 weeks+ after our meet and greet, we booked some time with Sebastian so that he could spend time with our cats, allowing the cats to get familiar with him before house sitting for our lengthy vacation. We were also able to go over basic things in the home that would be helpful for him to know about during his stay at our house. Sebastian was very diligent about adding any new information to his notes. We are now on vacation overseas. Cashew quickly warmed up to Sebastian, accepting petting and touching. Tuukka who was initially fearful coming out only for meals, has come around as well. Sebastian is doing a great job so far! Thanks Sebastian!
Katie has been fantastic with our two dogs! She’s very communicative, sends lots of photos and updates, and always makes us feel confident that the dogs are safe and happy while we’re away. She’s also incredibly clean and respectful of our home. We’ve used her several times now and have had a great experience every time. We’ll definitely continue using her services!

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 Belmont 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 Belmont 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 Belmont 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.
