“L took such great care of our adult dog and 12 week old puppy. We were nervous as puppies are a lot to manage but L went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Additionally, we had never had a house sitter before so this was a little nerve wracking hiring someone off of an app. Once we met in person I was put at ease particularly because how my skittish Mini Aussie was surprisingly not skittish with L and as it turns out I know their mom and they live really close to us. I would recommend L to anyone who needs house sitting or animal sitting. L is very good with animals, detail oriented, professional, trustworthy and conscientious. We will definitely use L in the future when we travel.”
“This woman is an incredible dog walker and person. Immediately felt comfortable with her after meeting and the animals LOVE her. Polite, progressional, empathetic and an animal lover. Would recommend to any pet owner for dog walking or house sitting.”
About: Hi there, my name is Jess and I love all kinds of pets. I've grown up around all sorts of breeds and have always had a pet in my life. I enjoy long walks and playtime. I'll treat your pets with the upmost care, provide any baths and dietary needs requested. I enjoy pets, and enjoy making sure that they are happy and well cared after. I know what it's like traveling and wondering what my pet is doing when I'm away. If you want photo updates and texts of your pets when your gone, I will be happy to accommodate those requests. I work from 9 am till 5 PM Monday through Friday. I have a hour long lunch break at noon, so depending on location I can do a drop in on my lunch break. I do come home for my lunch when boarding your pet. I am available on holidays and weekends too! Additional charges will apply for longer stays I make sure the doors are closed and locked behind me when in another’s home. That all the owners rules are followed. I ensure that the pets are well looked after. When house sitting the pet, I make sure that it's just myself and the pet(s) and that I leave the house in the same condition as which it were in when I arrived.
“Bailey was great! She was easy to communicate with and came over for a visit before the sit. She was available to be home most of the day which was a big plus since I work from home and Scout is used to the company. She sent regular updates and cute photos while I was gone, and I came home to a happy dog and clean house. Would happily have her back for my next trip!”
“Josie took such good care of our Mei Mei. She was attentive and communicative, sending lots of updates so we never worried. When we returned home, Mei Mei seemed content and the house was clean. Even our plants looked healthy and happy! Josie is a fantastic pet sitter and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other pet owners. Five stars!”
“Tiffany took outstanding care of Lucy in my home while I was gone. She sent me plenty of updates and cute photos of my sweet girl, and I felt confident that Lucy was getting all the love and exercise she needed. Thank you, Tiffany!”
“Candy was wonderful. I would trust her with our dog and cat again. She was communicative, left the house if anything cleaner and even made a holiday card of our pets.”
“Sage took wonderful care of our babies and home while we were away. We had such peace of mind knowing that they were cared for. We have two dogs with VERY different personalities and sage was able to give them both the attention they needed. Sage was always quick to respond and very easy to work with!”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and love animals. I love the chance to spend time and care for other's animals as well. I currently work part time because I just moved to Idaho and have availability to care for pets in my free time. I would love to play and walk your dog when I am not at my other job and would love the opportunity to provide overnight care too. I am currently working part time so I have somewhat a lot of availability to care for pets during the week or on the weekends I have a backyard and will be able to take your pet on plenty of walks and give them the environment they need to make it through the day.
About: I've never had a dog myself but I love being around them! I've helped take care of dogs in the family for a few years now! I’m a college student looking to earn some extra side money! That being said I don’t have a completely open schedule but definitely willing to work with you!! I am not offering services that include bringing your pet to my home because I am in circumstances that wouldn't make that very beneficial but I will do everything I can to ensure your babies feel loved!
“Rachel did an outstanding job with our pets and house. Our pets were in great hands. Rachel sent photos and texts to keep us up to date. I highly recommend Rachel, and I will be rebooting with her.”
“Bethany took great care of our Shiba Inu Zoe! She helped guide her with things not to do ( Zoe likes to dig in the backyard right now ), played with her and made sure she’s all taken care of. Zoe really likes Bethany. Definitely will book again!”
“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
“We are so grateful to have found Ashley here on Rover! She took such great care of our Lab, Lilah, our shy kitty and our home while we were away. She played with and walked our dog often and send cute picture updates. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone.”
“Kayla exceeded expectations to the point I was starting to question whether or not my dog would want me to come back home! She was communicative and didn’t hesitate to ask questions. The pictures and frequent updates allowed me to relax, knowing that my pup was getting plenty of exercise, treats, and attention. She was neat and tidy during her stay and I returned to a clean house. Kayla has set a very high bar. I would not hesitate to book again!”
About: I have been looking after pets of my own, as well as pet sitting for others for the past 15 years. My experience ranges from dogs, cats, bunnies, and smaller exotic animals. Taking care of others pets includes more then walking and feeding them. Making sure they have clean and well maintained supplies is a must! Following their own schedule allows for a comfortability similar to their own family. Making sure every pet is loved and comfortable is my ultimate goal! As a college student, I have many gaps in my days I can easily fill with a quick walk or check in with pets. I am also available for longer term care where I would be devoted to ensuring all of my time and focus is on your pet!🐾 Ensuring an animals safety is the most critical part of what I do as a pet sitter. I always make sure to follow the clients instructions on safety and care to make pets comfortable, and to hold myself accountable to the family's standards.
“Kristi is wonderful! The moment she came to meet my two dogs, I knew she was a true animal lover. My dogs can be a bit overwhelming at first but her calmness was very evident. Her communication was excellent with several updates and pictures. I enjoyed my short trip so much more knowing my dogs were being taken care of so well. My home was so clean and my pups were happy when I got home. I will definitely use Kristi 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 Blacks Creek 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 Blacks Creek 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 Blacks Creek 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.
