Promo code: GENEVG49713 https://www.rover.com/sit/genevg49713 I work from home 2 days per week, and my partner is home working 3 days a week. Our roommate also works at a vet hospital and is currently in school to get her vet tech degree. She works 5 minutes from the house and comes home on lunch breaks to let the dogs outside so they never go more than 4 hours at a time during the work week without a potty break. I am off on weekends so I’ll be home with them majority of the time on weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard, plus 3 dogs myself that love to meet new friends and play. I always make sure the dog has the same feeding routine they do when you are home. I try not to change up their normal routine so that the stay is as stress free as possible for your dog.
About: Hey there! I’m a mom of five chihuahuas, some of which are special needs. I’m a hover mom and I understand what it’s like to be afraid to leave your babies with someone you don’t know. I also have over 10 fish tanks. To say I love animals is an understatement. I know if I was going away, I would want someone to treat my babies like they were their own and look after them with great compassion and attention to detail. I know how to administer medication on a schedule, as well as change diapers, handle birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians or rodents. I like detailed instructions and will follow them, because that’s how I’d want my babies cared for! I work 9-5 Monday through Friday in office, but I am able to leave flexibly for walking, lunch check ins, and before or after work hours. Because I have five dogs in my own home, I only sit in the owners home. I feel this helps keep the puppies or kitties comfortable in their own environment.
“Toni did a Great job taking care of our dog, Winner. Lots of communication. The house was spotless when I came home. Toni is very friendly asked questions To best know what our dog needed. We hope To book her again for dog care.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 13. I’m comfortable with all different sizes, from Rottweilers to Shih Tzus! I am available all day on the weekends, during the week I work part-time at a 50% remote/50% in office job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to let them outside, take them for walks, and make sure they are safe and happy! I always make sure to respect the space that I’m in, and I make sure that the dogs routine is maintained and needs are met!
“Reagan was so wonderful! My dog can is nervous around strangers and is a senior. Reagan was so patient and kind and it made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my pup. Reagan is definitely someone you can count on and she will treat your animal like her own!”
“I am very particular when it comes to my puppy baby and this was by far the BEST experience I have had using rover. Shelby sent me updates, pictures, and followed my pups schedule to a tee. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely be using Shelby again.”
About: I am comfortable staying overnight as well as ensuring your animals feel comfortable with me. I have been professionally walking my friend’s dog five days a week for two years now. I will make sure to stick to their normal routines, so they are less stressed. I hope I can give your animals lot of love and pets! Im usually available, but even at my job—I am still able to drop in around my lunch. So I’ll make sure to drop in as much as possible I am not able to keep any animals at my home due to me not renting or owning a home ( I’m a college student ).
“Cortney took amazing care of my pack of 3 dogs and a pig. She updated me throughout the weekend and I came home to happy fur babies and a clean house. I highly recommend Cortney.”
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and other animals for 15 years. Neighbors, friends and family have chosen me to make sure their peta are well taken care of while they are away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies! I usually off on weekends so I'm free to check animals in the morning and walk them in the evening as well as house sit as needed. Currently we have an indoor cat that we keep safe inside. House can keep a small dog but do not currently have a yard. Animals very welcome

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own two Bloodhounds, who each weigh around 115 pounds, and a Great Pyrenees. Caring for large breeds has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I’m also experienced with farming and caring for animals, so I’m comfortable handling larger animals and working in outdoor environments. I’m dependable, attentive, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I care for dogs every day, making sure they receive proper attention, exercise, food, water, and companionship. I also have experience cat-sitting for three cats each year, including feeding, refreshing their water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with them. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m committed to being dependable and treating every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routines to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their owners are away. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and a clean environment. For dogs, I provide regular walks, outdoor time, and companionship. For cats, I take care of feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care while keeping owners updated on how their pets are doing.

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 Boyd Highlands 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 Boyd Highlands 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 Boyd Highlands 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!

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 .
