“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark took incredible care of Roosevelt and kept us updated every single day with the best pictures. Honestly, there are dog sitters… and then there’s Mark! He truly goes above and beyond in every way. Not only was he a fantastic house guest, but most importantly, Roosevelt absolutely loved him! 🐾 Highly recommend!”
“Charity did a wonderful job with our two cats and our corgi!! She stayed at our home, walked our dog, and care for them so lovingly. We have a 17 year old cat who is blind and requires daily medication and she did a great job caring for him, giving him his meds, and making him feel safe while we were out of town. I would 100% hire Charity again!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”
“Greg did an excellent job taking care of the boys and the house. The boys loved him. I am not sure they missed us at all. We would definitely have him watch our boys again.”
“Rachel was very nice to take my booking at the last minute. She did a great job watching Claire and responding to me. My dog is not the easiest to look after. She let me know when my dog got temporarily sick from breaking into her treat bag. She cleaned up everything before I got home.”
“Jenna did an awesome job housesitting with our dogs. She was very open with communication and made sure our dogs were very well cared for. We really appreciated all the photos she sent daily. We would highly recommend Jenna and would definitely have her house sit again!”
“Mercedes was super reliable and we could tell our dogs were happy and healthy upon returning from our vacation! She kept us updated with daily photos and videos. I could tell she treated our dogs just as well as we do! She also took great care of our home while we were away, keeping things tidy and watering plants. We will definitely book with Mercedes again!”
About: Hello my name is Talia! The job experience I have with animals was attending Omaha Henry Doorly zoo academy working in Madagascar caring for lemurs and bats. I also currently work at a dog daycare (7 years) Caring for those animals made me realize this is the life I want to have helping any animal in need. Thank you for reading my little speal and I hope you consider me when finding you next pet sitter or walker. In conclusion if you have any questions or concerns please message me I’d happy to answer them all. I work weekends in the morning until early afternoon. During the week I usually do a couple drop in’s for other dogs. With that in mind I am not home 24/7. I have watched numerous dogs and have been recommended to their friends and family. I take numerous pictures of your dog throughout the day and send updates regularly.
“Emily did an amazing job with our 3 dogs! She kept us updated with pictures and messages. Our pups were well loved while we were gone. She was also sweet enough to change the sheets on the bed before we returned home. We will definitely book again!”
About: Hi there! My spouse and I are lifelong dog lovers who have been surrounded by pups since childhood. Between the two of us, we've grown up with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. We have six dogs of our own, and we also volunteer as fosters for a local dog rescue. We’re comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to big couch-loving seniors. Whether your dog is active and energetic or prefers a quieter routine, we’re happy to accommodate their needs with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Our home is full of dog-friendly energy, and we treat every dog like family. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be in caring and capable hands while you're away! Whether we’re caring for our own pack or welcoming a guest pup, we maintain a calm, structured environment with lots of love and consistency. Because we’re already on a dog-focused schedule, it’s easy for us to adapt to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means early morning walks, medication reminders, or just extra snuggle time. When caring for dogs in their own home, we prioritize consistency and comfort. We maintain your dog’s normal schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel secure and stress-free while you're away. We treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. In our home, your dog becomes part of the family. With five of our own friendly, well-socialized dogs and plenty of experience as fosters for a local rescue, we provide a warm, dog-savvy environment where pups feel safe, stimulated, and loved. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with space to play, lounge, and rest—whether your pup prefers fetch in the yard or a cozy nap on the couch. We follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), and preferred activities. We welcome all breeds and sizes, and we’re especially experienced with multi-dog dynamics. Whether your dog is social or needs more one-on-one attention, we adjust accordingly to ensure they’re comfortable and happy.
“Kylene was very personable and it was easy to see how much she enjoys animals. Was very reliable. Arrived when expected. She kept great contact by sending periodic pics to assure me Lydia was comfortable and being cared for. I would recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
About: My family has had multiple dogs in the past and have loved and taken care of any dog we have had or watched. Have been told that I have a special charm with dogs/puppies! I work as a teacher and a football coach, so I am gone from 7:00 AM to 6 PM. Am free most nights and can be flexible as well. I stick to the schedules that are given to me and feed them at the proper times. I love to play with dogs in any environment, whether that is outdoors and indoors!

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 Bennington 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 Bennington 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 Bennington 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.
