“Meghan has been my dog walker and recently house sat for me while I was away. She is wonderful with my dog and left my place clean & tidy. I know I can trust her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Joelle was wonderful! Most importantly Carly loved her. She’s great with humans too. She was prompt, regular updates with photos, handled medications and walks whatever asked. Thank you Joelle!”
“We have used Kiera multiple times over the past year. She is great at communicating and loves on all the animals. She is clean and respectful to your place. I have very needy and spoiled fur babies and she spoils them just as much when I am gone. I will definitely continue to use her for my pets!”
“Kelsey is great! She's reliable, communicates well, and gives us incredible peace of mind when leaving our dog at home. He seems happy and well-loved when we return. We feel very fortunate to have found her.”
About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're apart of my own family. Over the years, I've cared for and watched pets for neighbors, family and friends, everything from drop-in visits to extended stays and I genuinely enjoy giving each animal the same care I'd want for my own. I currently own two senior cats (my babies), so I'm especially comfortable with older pets who may need a little extra patience, medication, or a gentler routine. I also frequently care for my sister's dog and cat when she's traveling, so I'm experienced juggling different personalities and needs under one roof. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving playtime and snuggles, or just making sure your pet feels safe while you're away I treat every animal like family. I have a pretty open schedule, so I'm flexible and can usually accommodate what works best for you. I'm available for: Weekday visits and walks: morning, afternoon, or evening Weekend care: both Saturday and Sunday Recurring bookings: happy to set up a regular schedule if that's what you need Last-minute requests: if something comes up, just ask Whether you need daily check-ins for your cat, a midday dog walk, or someone to stop by while you're out of town, I can likely make it work. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask about a specific time, I'm happy to figure something out! I know how hard it is to leave your pet in someone else's hands, I feel the same way about my own. That's why I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. Safety first: I'm always alert to potential hazards, things like open doors, toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, or escape routes. I follow any instructions you leave to the letter, and I'll check in if anything seems off. Trust & communication: I'll send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it's a quick text after a drop-in or a full report after a walk, you'll never be left wondering. I respect your home, your space, and your pet's routine. A calm, loving environment: I meet every animal where they are, shy cats get patience and quiet company, energetic dogs get walks and playtime, seniors get gentle care and extra comfort. My goal is to keep their day as stress-free and happy as possible, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“Fantastic!!! Amazing!!! Almost scared to review - her schedule may become too packed to sit for Bodhi again :) In all seriousness, Salem was beyond attentive - sent more photos than I could have imagined- updated us regarding his meals, meds, and behaviors. His photos demonstrated how happy he was - and well cared for. Our Bodhi is a huge dog with separation anxiety and needs the "right sitter." Salem was more than right! She was perfect. Communicative, Caring, Compassionate, Complete care. Will 100% hire her again!”
“Kim is one of my top petsitters - I consistently get tons of updates and lots of cute photos of my furry bestie. The first photo I got was of her pooping - 10/10, would recommend :)”
“Amanda was absolutely the best walker we ever encountered! She was very punctual responding to our last minute request as we had a complication with our original dog sitting arrangement, she was at our house within one hr of initial response to meet our babies! She watched our 2 large dogs for 1 full week and did a wonderful job doing it! Daily pics of the dogs and summary of the days events came with her service which calmed our nerves as to how they were doing each day! I would trust Amanda 100% with our babies again no questions asked! Thank you again Amanda for accepting our request you really helped us out in a pinch! It’s really hard to find someone that’s trustworthy and responsible like yourself! Thank you again!”
“Melody showed such great care for my dog today! She was great about sharing photos and video updates throughout the day and that was so thoughtful of her. I can tell Nola had a blast with her today! Can’t wait until the next visit!”
“Meredith took amazing care of our home, cat, and chickens and ducks! She was proactive and resolved issues that came up when baby chicks were escaping from their coop. She sent us photos everyday and gave a detailed daily update so we knew how everything was going. We came home to a spotless house and very happy animals!”
“Taylor house sat our 3 year old Golden Doodle and did a wonderful job. Our pup was well looked after and happy and she left the house as she found it. She was in touch over the stay with pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“We're so grateful we found Trey (aka Mary M.) right before a long ten day trip! We usually ask family and friends to dog-sit but everyone was out of town, so we turned to Rover and felt so lucky to find Trey. We had a successful meet-and-greet where she asked great questions and focused on not only what we needed, but specifically what our dog, Monkey, needed. It's clear that Trey loves animals and that they love her. Trey read through all our dog-care-documents and we received daily photos and messages of our happy dog sleeping, playing or walking which was so comforting. Trey took great care of our dog and was respectful with our home and we would definitely recommend her and hire her again!”
“Victoria was awesome!! She house sat and watched our 2 little sr dogs, and the whole time was so communicative and caring! She sent lots of pics & updates so we had peace of mind our whole trip. The pups were so happy and well looked after. We have already rebooked!”
“Aline was outstanding with my elderly baby. He's practically blind and she did everything to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stayed in my home with him. He connected with her from the very beginning. She perfectly gave him his medicines (pills and liquids), she made sure he wore a diaper at night and when she was away. And she gave him all the snuggles he wanted. She looked after my Max perfectly and I will definitely book her again!”

Rachael is probably one of the best sitters you are going to find in Rover. She is just a very thoughtful and thorough person. She went above and beyond in the quality of the care she provided and also in communication. She sent updates and pictures throughout the night. She followed the care plan very well and was proactive about requesting clarification if needed. She was also very receptive to feedback. I loved getting pictures of my puppy. She did a great job building trust with me and with my 5 month old GSD girl. She was very patient and caring. Her calming attitude allowed my puppy to feel comfortable around her. From what I gathered, my puppy actually listened to her; she normally tests boundaries with new people. I was impressed. I’ve only used her once and would love to book her again if availability aligns. She was very engaged with my puppy and did an excellent job trying to figure her out. If it was up to me, I would have her take care of my puppy consistently. She’s the best.
Victoria was great with our dogs again! She’s very communicative of all updates and she had her eye out for any signals of stress from the dogs (which we thought there may be some). She sends really cute photos and is very detailed with her messages. Even our little grumpy dog warmed up to her, photos had him looking lovingly right at Victoria! We will definitely book again, and recommend to anyone looking for dog or cat care!
Ryana and Safiyyah are incredible every single time. Loki is so well cared for and loved we have complete peace of mind on every trip we go on and always know our house will be left clean and tidy and our pup will be tuckered out from endless love, snuggles, play, and walks.
Abby did a great job watching my elderly dog for almost 2 weeks. She administered daily meds perfectly, and with great care. She also spent lots of time with Mathilda, and made her so comfortable while I was away, sticking to her usual schedule and habits. Abby checked in when needed, but was quietly confident in her ability to take care of my girl. I would highly recommend Abby for daily visits, or overnight stays. She’s great to work with, kind, conscientious and fun!
Aline was outstanding with my elderly baby. He's practically blind and she did everything to make him feel safe and comfortable. She stayed in my home with him. He connected with her from the very beginning. She perfectly gave him his medicines (pills and liquids), she made sure he wore a diaper at night and when she was away. And she gave him all the snuggles he wanted. She looked after my Max perfectly and I will definitely book her again!
We loved having Katelyn stay with our pup, Rory, while we were away! She was very reliable, communicative, and friendly! Rory absolutely loved her. She kept us informed throughout her stay with great updates and pictures. She also left our home cleaner than she found it! We would love to have her watch Rory again!
Truman was able to accommodate last minute changes on my end and watch both my pups. One of our dogs was post surgery and needed special attention and Truman was great handling all of his care. He did a great job and the pups were sad for him to leave!! Truman is our go to for daytime walks and overnight trips.
10 Stars Super Duper Star Sitter indeed! We booked Miranda at the last minute when our scheduled pup sitter had a medical emergency before a week-long trip out of town. Our 3 dogs loved her; she provided multiple updates a day with pictures, and our house was immaculate when we returned. Would love to have her watch our pups and our house 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 Blands 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 Blands 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 Blands 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.
