“Sofia was wonderful with our little pups. When she came over to sit she brought them a little treat bad which was really sweet and you can tell she has a love for dogs. She took good care of them and communicated well. Her responses were all very immediate as well which gave us a peace of mind while we were out. Highly recommend!”
“Cassidy was awesome. She arrived on time, took care of my babies the same way I would. Cassidy kept me up to date with pictures. Took care of everything in my home. I would highly recommend her, she is awesome!”
About: Getting to love on your "best friend" and keep them company or give them potty breaks would be a great privilege! I have had dogs all my life. My last one had to be assisted to walk for quite some time and required lots of pills. For the last 5 years, I have been house sitting for my two sons who each have two dogs. I would prefer to meet and greet so that you can decide if I would be a good fit. Although I have never done this for profit, I do believe I can make you happy. My neighbors can provide a reference if need be. I am currently unemployed and am available any time. I would like to be free to keep doctor's appointments. However, if that is not agreeable to you, I try to reschedule any appointments. I will make sure your fur babies have several potty breaks during the day and right before bed if I am staying in your home. I love to pet and play with them - according to their desires. Of course I can provide lots of pictures with my cell phone if you like.

I am reliable and can handle all food care, restroom care, walks and playtime with animals as needed. I am happy to drive up to 30 mins to a location to care for animals, whether it’s daily walks or an overnight stay or a drop in. I am happy to support week days as needed and I’m happy to handle morning, daytime and evening needs and visits. I will follow all directions to the best of my ability.

I will ensure food and water needs are followed to the directions and that I can stay to support basic needs plus any additional requirements to ensure the animals have all appropriate care.
“Amanda did a great job taking care of our pets. She took lots of great pictures and kept this informed every day. We will definitely ask her to house it again.”
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including professional dog daycare and veterinary hospital experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or attention. I’m experienced with exercise, enrichment, feeding, medications, basic training, and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I worked in a veterinary clinic throughout the summer and am now starting school, so my availability is more flexible around my class schedule. I’m unavailable on most Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m willing to work around it from time to time. I’m available most other weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in every visit. My veterinary and professional animal-care experience has taught me how to safely handle pets with different temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior, follow care instructions closely, and will keep you updated throughout each visit.
“My pups loved Jessica. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from them and our meet and greet already made me feel super comfortable leaving my babies with her. She was very responsive, communicative, and accommodating. Really appreciated you, friend!”
About: I have a dog of my own, an Australian shepherd named Lady. I have taken care of a few dogs before and I quite enjoy it. I love and enjoy walking dogs. I also enjoy cats as well. I have had a cat for about 16 years. she was my very first pet ever to have. She has been with me since I was a baby. Sadly she passed in August of 2021. I can do the weekends from anytime. I can stop by after 6 o’clock to check up on your furry friends. But normally the weekends is when I’m free. I make sure that the dog or dogs are fed and taken care of course. I follow the owner's details and rules. I am very patient and outgoing and also a very active person.
“Honor took excellent care of my babies! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Sara is great!! Most times when we leave our dogs they stay by the door and don’t eat. Sara got them to eat while we were gone, and even leave from waiting at the door! She communicated with us throughout the trip and sent us lots of great pictures. We will absolutely be using her going forward!!”

“Hanna Was the best Oet sitter very professional fast and was able to come through to help out to pet sit our awesome Cleo. She helped get us out business situation we had to attend and was able to book in an hour. Cleo felt great with her and vice a versa. Thanks so much Hanna for being the Rover Doggy care taker.”

It can take Scarlett some time to get used to new people but within a day she was already following Brenda around the house. I would definitely recommend Brenda to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you so much for watching our little Scarlett!”

I am also comfortable with senior care, understanding the patience and gentle approach required for older dogs who may have mobility issues or specific health needs. My goal is to maintain your dog's routine and happiness, so they feel cared for even while you're away. I also have strong familiarity with cats as I have one of my own and also foster kittens.

Whether it is providing midday walks, overnight stays, or consistent companionship, I can easily coordinate my professional commitments around your pet's specific routine to ensure they feel cared for.

Spencer stayed in our home for a last minute request and he did great with our 3 furbabies. They all were well cared for, I received regular updates and photos. He also kept our home clean and brought in our mail and packages. We appreciate Spencer, his care and communication with me in regard to our dog's and home. Thank you Spencer.
Lauren went above and beyond for my boys! She handled them with absolute love and care! They are so lucky to have had her for their stay! Absolutely would have her over again! She played with them, communicated well, and took care of them like they were her own! So wonderful!
Alaini did a great job looking after our pups. She was able to accommodate us despite the booking being pretty last minute. Her communication was great and she was always quick to respond to messages. She was mindful of our care instructions and sent us great pictures or our pups throughout. We would definitely book with her again.
This was our first overnight booking, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our dogs were well cared for, comfortable, and happy while we were away. We received updates and felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Makae and her family were incredible!! We are always anxious to leave our pup with someone else, but they exceeded our expectations in every way. They take such great care to keep your dogs on their routine and make sure they are comfortable! Makae was in constant communication, and we received so many updates and cute pictures. It is clear how much the family loves all dogs like their own, and we would absolutely trust them to watch our boy anytime!! ❤️
Alicia was awesome! She showed up to our meet and greet incredibly prepared, and I knew immediately I could trust her. She sent a ton of photos the whole time I was gone and the house was in great shape when I got home. Definitely would recommend and will book with her again for sure.
Kenzie did an amazing job helping us out with a last minute sitting request. She had great communication both before and throughout the sitting.. She was also attentive as we went over the care instructions for our little ones. During the stay she kept us updated on our pups and sent us pictures which we love. Wouldn’t hesitate using her 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 Blue Mound 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 Blue Mound 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 Blue Mound 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.
