“Tess is clearly great with animals. Our pup was happy when we got back, a clear sign she was in good hands. Highly recommend Tess to any pet parent looking for someone dependable and caring.”
“Jennifer took amazing care of our two dogs and house. She was especially good with our 18 year old terrier who has many struggles during the day - even going to the pet store to get her some supplements! 100% recommend and will be a repeat client !”
“I highly recommend Isabel! She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country, to watch our almost-21-year old kitty, Kyle. Kyle has some health issues and is on a number of medications, on a complicated schedule. Isabel made sure he got his meds as prescribed. Kyle likes to have company when he is awake, so she hung out with him a lot, and let him sleep with her. She sent us a lot of great pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing every day, using the Rover app. She also took great care of the house. We will definitely ask Isabel to house/petsit for us again next time we go out of town.”
“Our dogs love her and the house was left perfect after she left. One of our dogs is old and needs care every 4 hours or less and some pills. He is also deaf and uses sign language to communicate. She was able to handle all of this no problem. Booking her again for our next trip!”
About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 7 years old. Dogs mostly, but also cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and fish. Now I am a mature, reliable professional who loves pets as much as ever, but unfortunately my living situation is not ideal to have my own right now. I look forward to connecting with folks who need an assist in caring for their animals and loving them as if they were my own. My schedule is somewhat flexible with plenty of early morning and afternoon availability, as well as evenings opening up at 9 or 10 pm. This is true 7 days a week with 2 rotating days off each week. I typically have one 3-day weekend available each month. My place is not conducive to have your pets stay. But I am happy to come to you, whether for a walk, a feeding, playtime, some combination of all of the above. I also welcome the opportunity to stay over in your home if the need arises and trust has been established.
“I could not have asked for a better person to watch my pups! He provided consistent updates with photos throughout our 4 day trip, he was able to extend watching them past the agreed date due to flight mishaps. I have two very high energy dogs, that love to bark and pull during walks, I personally walk them separately. Devon was able to work on their behavior and etiquette preparing for and during walks and has consistently been able yo walk them together. On some personal thoughtful notes: Some of my orchid flowers dropped and he pressed them for me. And he even left us a welcome home note with some treats for the pups. He is such a kind and thoughtful person, never using anyone else!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have taken care of countless pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I love animals and I would love to love your animal too! I am currently working part-time remote before starting school in January. I am available any time of day to take care of your pet needs. I am a very organized, meticulous person who will complete the needs for your dog. I am able to administer medication and I follow directions carefully. Very proficient in walking, picking up poops, and lots of snuggles. Most importantly, your dogs' safety is my top priority.
“Ashley did such an amazing job with our two pups Gotham and Nora! She was so sweet with them and extremely accommodating to my wife and I by even staying a little bit extra because of a hiccup in our schedule. I would fully recommend Ashley for any one of our friends with fur-babies.”
“Victoria was an amazing sitter for my dog Felix. Felix can be a bit shy but he warmed up her quickly. She sent me photos and updates every day, which I appreciated so much. I trusted her completely with my pup and my house and I’d highly recommend her for any pet needs!”
About: I've dogsat for weeks at a time for multiple families over multiple years! I also have had several cats, dogs, and lizards throughout my life. I am currently not working so I am available when needed! I love walks and park trips. If you’re in Whittier or know a place in your neighborhood there’s large fields to play in! It depends on the needs of the client, my most common household I look after, they are showdogs so they have specific meal criteria and excersize. I've handled pregnant cats and dogs. My cats I have now are pretty chill, they play outside sometimes but mostly just sit by the window and we play with their toys.
About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals! From growing up in a house full of all kinds of animals and currently being a proud dog mom of 3 and snake mom of 1, to pet sitting through my teen years, to volunteering at a special needs dog sanctuary for 3 years.. there is nothing I feel more comfortable doing than hanging out with and caring for furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I am available for care all hours of the day or night weekdays and weekends! I’m happy to do late night or early mornings 😊 I want more than anything to provide everyone that trusts me with their furry babies peace of mind knowing that with me, they are genuinely safe and will always be treated like they are my very own. To say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement, and I understand more than anyone the fear of unknowns when leaving your pets with a new person and I hope I can alleviate that stress from both you and your pets. From the bottom of my heart, you can trust that when your pets are with me they are in a safe space and being treated with love, care, and consideration!
About: HAWKINS DOES NOT LIVE WITH ME FULL TIME, HE LIVES WITH MY FATHER :) I've been a dog lover since childhood! I've been watching, walking and giving lots of love to my own dog (Hawkins) for about 3 years now! However, I was asked to walk and check-in on dogs several times in my complex and neighborhood! This happens especially in my family, as a lot of my family members have one or more dogs they ask me to take care of when they go out of town, or just need a break! I've been caring for a diverse range of breeds, from a Shih Tzu to a Golden Retriever since I was basically 10 years old! I love to work, play with dogs, and save to pay off my student loans! I'll have some availability on the weekends when I don't have class, usually starting around 12pm! There are plenty trails, parks and squares around Maryland, which will provide your dog plenty of room for extra exercise, plenty of playing, and exploring! I will happily take your dog for long walks, play with them however your living space will allow, and play with them as long as you are comfortable with in the parks!
“Olivia was given the task of caring for my 5 year old cocker spaniel who recently had meniscus surgery. She did a great job keeping my girl happy. She showed up on time and has an easy going manner. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I've always helped take care of the animals in the household since I was little. My family used to breed our dogs so I have experience with raising puppies from birth to when they leave for their forever homes. I have looked after other family members pets as well. I am a college student so I can work around my class schedule to spend as much time needed with you beloved pets and make sure they are taken care of! Making sure your pets are comfortable and that their daily routines stay continued is very important. Trusting me with your lovely pets is a great accomplishment for me and very exciting.

“Sonya was great with our house, dog and cat while we attended a conference and took a couple of relaxation days last week. She was in regular communication, often sent pictures and it was clear the dog and cat were super-relaxed. She was waiting for us when we arrived home and gave us all the news. Sonya is clearly a true animal lover and I would recommend her highly.”
About: Hello there, I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have had my own dogs for the last 15 years, and love taking care of and interacting with all animals. I have experience with training dogs to leash walk, taking them outside to the dog park, taking them to the beach for a swim, and playing fetch with a slobbery tennis ball. LOL I also have plenty of experience loving on cats (ones that are ok with cuddles, that is!), and playing chase the wand. I have pet sat mice, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even a chameleon and a bearded dragon! I love small, large, and in between size animals and there are no breeds that I refuse to work with or for. Allow me to play, walk, and take care of your animals as if they were my own. I will send text updates and pictures to help ease your mind. I assure you, we will be best friends in no time! Please note that while pet sitting at your home, I will likely have my 12 year old child with me. I will never leave my child alone in your home, I will always take them with me if I need to run an errand. I have an open schedule and plenty of time to take care of whatever is needed. Morning, afternoon, and night walks or visits are no problem! I will come into your home to care for your animals so that they will be most comfortable. I will feed, walk, play, and clean up after your animals as if they were my own and it was my 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 Braddock Heights 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 Braddock Heights 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 Braddock Heights 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.
