“I can’t say enough good things!! Jessica stayed with our boy during the biggest storm threats of our time in Nebraska! She not only kept everything under control with our boy and our house, but she kept me calm as she stayed in constant contact and provided updates. Our boy was in great hands!!!”
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.
“Sierra did a great job watching our dogs and staying at our house for five nights! She took good care of our pups and our home while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would happily have her watch them again!”
“Linda took great care of our two dogs! She always responded quickly to my messages and sent several pictures over the weekend while we were away. We knew our dogs were happy and comfortable.”
“Zoe did an outstanding job caring for our puppers. She is prompt and respectful in person and was very attentive to our dogs needs. During her stay she communicated very well with pictures and updates.”
About: I have worked with dogs at a dog daycare for 7 years, and during that time I have learned to take care of several dog breeds. I have also owned dogs and cats my whole life, and have taken care of birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and a chameleon in the past. I'm quite active and will take dogs on walks at least once every 1-2 hours. Attention to detail is important and I will follow all cleaning and feeding instructions my clients give me, including animals that need to take medicine. I am working part-time at a doggie daycare so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens, or to give them some extra care and attention that they may need. I'm mostly free during the evenings, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. I have a small crate for smaller pups and kitties if needed, a 4-year-old Cavamalt named Willow that will keep any of your animals company and a 14-year-old cat named Zoey. (This is at my place- which I am unable to provide due to current conditions as I live with my grandmother.) Whatever instructions my clients leave me I will do everything to the last word! Cleaning, feeding, bathing, medicine, etc. I will walk and play with your animals for as long as they want to while keeping the house tidy and clean of possible potty accidents. Special instructions for your pets? Consider it done.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and watch their pets! I currently am a student so I will have plenty of time to play with you pets!! I have plenty of time off from school to watch and care for your pets! I have over 11 years of experience caring and watching pets!! I would love to help out in your home but unfortunately can not offer care in my own home.
About: I have pet sat since I was 13 years old off and on for friends and family. Then at 20 I got on an app called wag and booked with strangers to pet sit there. I was in a difrent city and it's not as popular here so I thought I'd give rover a try! I love getting to know new animals and can't wait to see how many I get to know on here. Im working part time right now Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3-6. So ive got plenty of extra time on my hands to feed, and play with your cats or dogs ! For dogs I'll go on walks, lay on the couch with them, feed as instructed, play fetch, and go to the dog park (if the dog gets along well with other animals). For cats I'd lay on the couch with them, play with them, feed as instructed, and change litter as needed.
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks or playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy while their owners are away. I am very open to making it my responsibility and giving it my time and effort! I can’t wait to dedicate my time & love to your pets!♥️ I have had my own pup before, and I currently have two cats and they are extremely spoiled and loved! I also have a niece that’s a dog that I always am babysitting!
“Juan was great. Good communication on cats and house. Pictures and videos really cheered us up. Kittens seemed to really like him. Did some extra tasks like water plants, feed the birds...even mowed lawn when got too long. Will definitely use him again. A+++”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter over the holidays, and Rachel very kindly stepped in! She was communicative and very respectful in our space, and we can tell the dogs had a great time! We absolutely recommend her to others.”

I guarantee the safety of your pet and the privacy of your home. I also will respect any boundaries you may set for your pet.
About: I’ve been around animals for much of my life. Growing up, I helped my grandparents with their sheep and their two working dogs, which gave me early experience around well-trained, active dogs and animals with routines and responsibilities. For the past several years, I’ve primarily provided housesitting and pet care for friends, neighbors, and family members. Much of my experience has been with older dogs, so I’m comfortable with slower walks, maintaining consistent routines, and paying close attention to signs that a dog may be tired or uncomfortable. I’m also experienced with handling dog medications and following specific feeding routines or dietary needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially senior animals, and I take care to follow instructions closely so they stay comfortable and healthy while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I make it a priority to learn each pet’s personality and routine. I treat both pets and homes with care and respect, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for. I work a hybrid job with somewhat flexible hours, which allows me to incorporate pet care easily into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, feeding, and letting pets out during the day, and I can often spend extended time in the home when needed. For certain bookings, I’m also comfortable providing overnight housesitting or near full-day presence (for a limited number of consecutive days) for pets that benefit from extra companionship or monitoring. I primarily offer housesitting and drop-in visits so pets can stay comfortable in their own home and routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any household rules the owner provides. I have a rule that when staying in a client’s home, to be very respectful of the space and make sure to clean up after myself and leave the home as I found it or better. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I take that seriously. I also have experience caring for pets that get nervous when their owners travel and may occasionally have accidents. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes on both carpet and hard flooring and checking common areas to keep the home clean and comfortable for the pet.
“Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

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 Blair 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 Blair 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 Blair 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.
