“Chelsea is a lifesaver! Even though I live kind of far away, she didn't hesitate to watch my two dogs when a different sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was so attentive, caring, and patient with my dogs. She took excellent care of my 5 month old puppy, and my anxious senior dog relaxed so quickly around her. She was very communicative and sent pictures and texts to check in throughout the day. She even went above and beyond and washed the bedding and cleaned the kitchen before she left! She has my highest recommendation and she is definitely first on my list whenever I take a trip in the future. Thank you Chelsea!!”
“Kim is very personable and easy to connect with. She remembered details about my dog’s care She also watched my house and informed me when my water feature stopped working. She loves dogs and it was clear that she loved mine. Pictures while I was away helped me cope with being away. The house and my dog were both in great shape when I returned after I was away for a week. She was very flexible with scheduling and even followed up to make sure that I didn’t need her to check back in — in case we had a flight delay. She will definitely be my first choice moving forward.”
“She was amazing with our fur baby Milo! We can not recommend her enough! she went above and beyond in everything with him. She even took him to a place for him to play and now we have a new spot to take him that we didn’t know about. Our baby was happy and well taken care of with her! If we ever need someone again I know who our first call will be!”
“Crystal did an amazing job watching my dog Lyla. I was very anxious about traveling away from my dog but Crystal made it so much easier with photos and videos. I can tell she truly loves animals and puts her all into caring for them. I’ll be rebooking her for future trips and trusting her with my fur babies and home!”
“Amber did a wonderful job with our two pups. They can be a handful but Amber was patient with them and made sure they were well loved! She also left our home just as we left it. We will be working with her again.”
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
“Colleen was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd. She was so sweet and attentive with him, and she kept us updated throughout her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! I would recommend Colleen 10 out of 10 times and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”
“Jadyn was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our pets while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we got home how comfortable and happy they were. She also took great care of our house and even left us kind compliments about our home, which was very sweet. Communication was great throughout, and we came back to a happy household and a well-kept home. We'd absolutely book Jadyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”
“Really quick to reply, especially on short notice. Watched both dogs pretty late into the night (past midnight). Arrived early. Communicated often. Went well -- will book again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and everything went so well with Natalie! She followed my instructions perfectly and provided me with updates while she was house sitting with my dog! Would definitely recommend! :)”
“Lee was absolutely phenomenal. I have two very nervous dogs and he put them both at ease immediately. He kept my home clean and tidy during his stay and my dogs were very well cared for. I’d give Lee 10 stars if I could”
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends puppies often, whether they’re big or small. I can administer any medications, give extra snuggles, really anything needed! I’m currently a college student at Greenville Technical College. Monday-Thursday I have one class each day til 11am, otherwise I’m completely free to take care or your pets! I care for pets in clients' homes by following their routines, providing playtime, walks, and all the love they need. I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while sticking to their usual habits.
“Sketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.”
“Aubrey was fantastic caring for our two pups and watching the house. They were in very good hands and we were excited to have someone stay with them who shares the love of pets and people. Highly recommended.”
About: Originally from Upstate South Carolina, I’ve always been an animal person. I grew up around dogs and horses, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I’m a proud dog dad myself, and I know just how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m dependable, respectful, detail-oriented, and take pet care seriously. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, quirks, and preferences, and I make a point to follow your instructions closely so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, trying new restaurants, and cheering on Clemson during football season. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, companionship while you’re away, or overnight care, my goal is simple: to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for. I’m also happy to provide plenty of updates and photos along the way, because I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel a little like handing over a small, furry member of the royal family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and learn more about their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. My work schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day—especially in the mornings and afternoons. Whether you need a regular walker, last-minute drop-in, or consistent daytime care, I’m happy to accommodate. I understand that every pet (and owner) has a unique routine, so if you have specific timing needs or questions about my availability, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I have two dogs—Mac Miller (a golden retriever) and Brody (a mini Bernedoodle)—so I know how important it is to have someone you fully trust caring for your pets. Most days, my dogs tag along with me for my morning routine, whether I’m heading into the office or grabbing coffee. They’re super well-behaved and love being out and about. In the evenings, we usually hit the beach or dog park for some fresh air and playtime. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of—just like I do with my own dogs.
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and have been working there for nearly 6 years. I have a certificate in pet first aid and CPR, currently in medical school, and I’m a qualified dog-lover! Even before my employment, I have had years of experience dog-sitting for people in my neighborhood. (Since before I could drive.) But my job has allowed me to learn difficult medication schedules, puppy care, senior dog care, and how to work with dogs as little as yorkies to as large as great danes. If I’m not taking care of dogs at work, then I am at home with my own babies. I have a dog and two cats, and my entire world revolves around them! I work best off of routine, and I will admit that I get a little flabbergasted when I don’t have a good schedule. My dogs are house-trained and fed twice a day during breakfast and dinner. However, when dogsitting I have been given crazy schedules to work with— so don’t feel bad if you think have a lot! My dogs aren’t crates at night and typically prefer to sleep in bed with me, but I understand and value the importance of crating. I don’t mind going on walks, either! My german shepherd goes everywhere with me, so please let me know if your dog enjoys going out. (Downtown, hiking, or just a walk in the park.)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Belton
Kim did a great job of working with our somewhat neurotic and sensitive German Shepherd. She willingly accommodated our request for TWO meet and greet sessions with him, and gave feedback that made us feel comfortable that the sit was going well. (With this particular dog, that is a big thing!) She also did some training exercises that we requested. We definitely plan on using her again!
Kim is very personable and easy to connect with. She remembered details about my dog’s care She also watched my house and informed me when my water feature stopped working. She loves dogs and it was clear that she loved mine. Pictures while I was away helped me cope with being away. The house and my dog were both in great shape when I returned after I was away for a week. She was very flexible with scheduling and even followed up to make sure that I didn’t need her to check back in — in case we had a flight delay. She will definitely be my first choice moving forward.
Couldn’t be happier with Kimberly!! She was so communicative, punctual, and kind! We can tell our pup was well loved. She left our house in perfect condition and just went above and beyond. Highly highly recommend. We will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future! So thankful.
CHELSEA IS AMAZING: truly the best sitter I’ve ever had! If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would. She went above and beyond in every single way. My girls adored her, and I could tell from her thoughtful updates, photos, and little details that she cared for them like they were her own. I came home to the happiest cats, a spotless house, and this overwhelming feeling of gratitude that I’d found someone so trustworthy and genuinely wonderful. Chelsea made being away for six days completely stress-free, and that is priceless. I will be booking her every chance I get - run, don’t walk, to book her. She’s that good!

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 Belton 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 Belton 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 Belton 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.
