“Julie was superb! Communicated very well and sent tons of pictures. The pups seemed very happy and content. She even took out the trash and replaced some coffee pods, which certainly was above and beyond. We will certainly try to book her on our next vacation.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“Cassidy has been the best! We are thankful and grateful on how well she took care of our dogs. She genuinely care and love them like it was hers. I highly recommend her to anyone! She will be our sitter moving forward!”
About: With 3 years of experience in pet care, I provide dependable and loving dog sitting services you can trust. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine, ensuring their safety, and giving them the attention they deserve. From energetic pups to senior dogs, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I am a SAHM so I have a lot of time on my hands plus 2 kids! We are very responsible and love animals so much! I have a fenced back yard and a garage. My yard is very safe and I do not leave dogs outside unsupervised. Dogs do have to be friendly with kids.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every breed and size since I was young. I have always had dogs growing up and I still have my childhood dog of 10 years+. I am able to walk, feed, and bathe the pets if needed. I can also help with tricks and crate training as well! I am currently going back to school for my doctorate in occupational therapy and it is a hybrid program, I want the flexibility of having my own schedule and arranging it around my school schedule. My pets have a schedule and understand their schedule, so if your pup has that, I will be happy to help! I also have three types of breeds within my home, so I understand the importance of boundaries, separate feedings, crating, and ensuring each dog is taken care of on their individual needs.
“Isabelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and the house while we were out of town! She left the house tidy and was very respectful of our space and our wishes. I expect to ask her to come again the next time we need help!”
“Charlayne took wonderful care of our boy! She was very responsive, sent pictures of our boy while she was caring for him, and took great care of our home while caring for our dog. She will be our regular dog/house sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and would love the chance to care for your pets! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, whether they love to play, go on walks, cuddle on the couch, or just need some company. I’m dependable, patient, and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I will always make sure my animals are well fed and happy. Walks, playtime, naps, all of it is important for the growth and to promote a healthy mindset for animals I have a fenced in yard for lots of play time, I have many toys for dogs or cats to play with and will be able to take them on walks often if needed
About: Hi. I'm a born caregiver and that includes pets. Until their passing recently, I was my housemates dog walker, caregiver, sitter and dog uncle since 2010. While they were her dogs she routinely joked she was jealous they were far more affectionate with me. :) They were fed regularly, walked, played with, I put proper meds in their food, and often they fall asleep next to me. I also was my friends first choice for dog sitting and even pet sit for a CEO and SVP. In this job, you're not doing this to get rich, you do this because you CARE for animals. Because I cannot have pets where I live at, this allows me to be around pets to enjoy their company as pets have a way of making me smile and enjoy life even a bit more. I will treat your pet as my own and send you lots of pics and updates so you know your furry family member is cared for like you would. I currently work as a video/film editor as well as animation and music production so doing this PT allows me to continue that dream while getting exercise and being around pets as I cannot really have them at my place. I listen to your directions and will treat your pet with the same care and love I would want with a pet if I had one. While others say one thing and do another, you really can trust that I'm honest, loving, caring. I can also help medicate if I'm placing meds inside their foods.
“Dakota was great with our animals. They are a handful of a group, so it was awesome that Dakota was able to handle them. He was also very good about keeping in contact and keeping me in the loop!”
“We hired Heather to housesit and watch our two dogs for two nights. She was a dream to work with! She left my home how we left it; frankly I couldn’t even tell anyone was there. She was very respectful of my house rules & my dog care preferences. Heather was punctual, respectful and has great communication. Our pups clearly enjoyed her presence and also, they loved staying home and not going to a traditional boarding situation which was huge for us. We have a large breed #110 dog and a #6 dog which she handled both with ease. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kayli was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Violet and Orion, during her 5-day stay. Since this was our first time using Rover and having an in-home pet sitter, we were naturally a little nervous — especially because both dogs can be shy at first. Violet is a Great Dane/pitbull mix with a big personality once she’s comfortable, and Orion is an elderly Black Lab/pitbull mix who is calm and quiet. Kayli was incredibly patient with them, and once they warmed up to her, they clearly adored her. She sent thoughtful updates and photos 3 times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind and truly allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pets. Kayli did an amazing job caring for both of their very different personalities and needs. We also came home to a perfectly tidy house, exactly as we left it. We would absolutely book with Kayli again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

“Destini was so great! She took good care of our pups while we were out and stayed in touch with us. No doubt they were a bit trying at times but she handled it like a pro! Definitely recommend!”
“Sara is awesome! Our dogs are so excited to see her when she arrives. She has house sat for our 2 beagles a couple of times and we would love for her to sit for us in the future. We feel so comfortable knowing she is home taking care of our babies. She sends great updates and takes care of anything needed/asked, including our multitude of supplements we give our dogs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 147 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blooming Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Blooming Grove 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 Blooming Grove 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 Blooming Grove 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blooming Grove. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
