“Alexis did a wonderful job dog-sitting for us while we went out of town. She was excellent at communicating, sent pictures, and left the house just as clean as we left it! When our large bulldog woke up with a sore paw, she took great care to contact me, ask what I wanted her to do, gave meds, and walked her on a leash instead of letting her run free and possibly hurting it more. Highly recommend!”
“Angelia was amazing with our fur babies! She was punctual, made sure to keep us constantly updated, and followed all instructions we provided. She provided peace of mind and we were able to enjoy and relax during our trip because of her. We came home to happy and healthy pups and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Being around animals for many years, I’ve grown to love providing services for our little friends. I have started dog sitting and dog walking, and even providing basic baths. I am available on all week days before 10, 1-3 mid days, and after 10pm. I am free for the whole day on Sunday :) I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also follow all instructions by the owner including feeding schedules and exercise
“Leaving our three boys—Hunter, Hudson, and Adolph—is never easy, but Olivia made it so much easier than we ever imagined. From the very beginning, it was obvious she genuinely loves animals. She cared for our boys with kindness, patience, and affection, and knowing they were safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away gave us tremendous peace of mind. There is simply no substitute for that feeling. She also took wonderful care of our home, stayed in touch with thoughtful updates, and made us feel connected even while we were away. When we returned, our boys were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—the best welcome home we could have asked for. We were so impressed with Olivia that, while she was caring for our dogs, I recommended her to one of my dearest friends without hesitation. Trust is earned, and Olivia earned ours completely. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and will love your pets as if they were her own, look no further. We are incredibly grateful for Olivia and will absolutely be asking her to stay with Hunter, Hudson, and Adolph again. She is truly a gem.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible so they can stay comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, behavior, or special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. I’ll also respect your home and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I care about animals, I care about not just keeping them alive but making sure they enjoy their lives. I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and I am my families go to pet sitter when they go out of town! I believe each animal has its own unique personality, likes and dislikes, and I enjoy figuring them out! I work remotely from my laptop, so if I’m staying at your home, I won’t have to leave for work! I do not work Saturdays or Sundays so I’m available sun up to sun down on those days for walking and/or check ins! Monday-Friday I have 5 hours off during the middle of the day, 11am-4pm in which I’ll be available. I care for pets by of course following every guideline you give me, but also by making sure they feel just as much love from me as they would’ve felt had you not left. So you can feel sure your pets won’t get too sad or lonely. (:

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 537 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boykin. 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 Boykin 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 Boykin 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 Boykin 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.
