“Our experience with Kathy was amazing! She took amazing care of my 2 boy cats as well as our condo, left everything the way she found it if not better. Stan has a bad heart and needs medication and Kathy handled everything perfectly. She sent multiple updates and photos a day (which I loved!) 10/10 recommend her. We already have her booked for our next trip!”
“Sarah was great with our pups and house sitting for us! She sent updates every day with pictures and ran our dogs for a long time every day! We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Melissa was great! She arrives on time and provides great communication and lots of pics and videos while babysitting. She’s very friendly and I felt my puppy was in very safe hands. I will definitely her again, and I highly recommend her.”
“Kristy was pet-sitter to our 15 year old cat for two weeks. We lost his brother a short time ago, so we were particularly worried about being away from him for so long. He also requires medication twice a day. Kristy has been brilliant. Lloyd is a little skittish but we have come home and clearly he is extremely settled. She quickly observed his little quirks and has managed him very well. We were overseas but have had no difficulty communicating. Kristy is very prompt and reliable. She has left our home cleaner than when she arrived. We are so thankful that she was available for our little man and would hope that she is available to help us out in the future. Thank you Kristy.”
“I have a lot of anxiety to leave Bailey with anyone, I do recommend Keira to anyone that does not want to leave their fury babies with anyone Bailey could not have been more happy with her the 4 days we been gone she took care of him like he was hers I can not talk more good about her, even my house was super clean and tidy when we got home.. thank you so much I’m sure Bailey had made a friend for life and I will be using your services in future again I can’t say thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job and went above and beyond to make sure Winston maintained his regular routine. She sent updates, pictures, and kept the house very clean. I will definitely keep her in mind when rebooking!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, you name it I’ve taken care of it. I love animals so much and think that every animal on earth deserves love and care. I am free 24/7 so pet care is a main priority in my life. I myself have two guinea pigs, a dog, and an orange cat that I love very much. I am more comfortable taking care of clients pets in the clients home. I do not have a fenced in yard in my home and I have many pets.
“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”
“This was my first time leaving my cats, and I was so relieved to find Mckenzie. So grateful to her for her awesome cat sitting! She was extremely friendly and eager to bond with my cats to make them as comfortable as possible while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really enjoyed. She also left the house spotless. Thanks again McKenzie, I’m sure we will be contacting you again!”
About: I have loved all pets since I was kid;) I normally help friends with their dogs, but I was trying to branch out;) I used to just have cats, but we added two bunnies to the mix and may adopt more. I work full time Monday-Friday at home, but I have a lot of flexibility, as long as I get my 8 hrs at work in;) I would prefer the clients home to visit. I have 3 cats and 2 bunnies at this time;) My place is relatively smaller and pets like to be in their common place.
“Carissa was amazing. We are so grateful to have found someone so caring, who treats our dog as her own. Our dog felt comfortable immediately and fell in love with her. She makes us feel so relaxed, comfortable, and at ease when he is in her care. She is our go to girl! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Victoria was wonderful! We had a medical issue with one of our chinchillas and she was kind enough to go above and beyond to take him to the vet. Monty and Louie looked great when we came home and were well taken care of. We're extremely grateful for all that Victoria did for us.”
“Molly was absolutely wonderful with both of my elderly dogs! Bosco and Lola don’t normally warm up that quickly to a stranger but Molly has such a great energy about her. She even sent me pics of my cat even though she didn’t get paid to take care of him just so I knew he was good. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Rileigh watched our two dogs and two cats for an evening. We found her personable, a good communicator, and very timely. She was fantastic with the pets - showing care and kindness to them all. Loved that she sent photos! Definitely would recommend.”
About: I have been an animal lover all my life. i currently live with 5 cats, 2 dogs (yorky and cane corso lol) 1 bunny and 12 chickens. I also have freshwater aquariums and 4 guinea pigs that stay at my boyfriends!! I’ve taken care of elderly dogs and puppies and i’ve foster 3 sets of kittens!! If you’re looking for an animal lover look no further!!! I work part time so I have very open ability. my schedule changes frequently so some days i’m not available but just ask and we’ll work something out!! I choose to not bring any pets to my home because of how many i have, but I'm more than okay going to your home and hanging out with your pets, that way they are most comfortable. I can change litter boxes, go for walks, feed and water, and give your pets the lovings they deserve!!!
“She stayed at our home with our dog for the week. They took her to the park,lake and to get pup cups. She sent daily updates. They watered my plants and got my mail. We will definitely use her again.”
“Christina is FANTASTIC. She took great care of our babies and sent us updates with photos and videos, and left the house pristine. She was extremely flexible and accommodating when we had a last minute change to our trip. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have lived with dogs, cats and bunnies since I was born. I took over training them at a young age because I have the patience and empathy to connect with animals. I have trained all of my dogs to an advanced level and have experience training cats as well. I treat animals with the same dignity and respect that I treat humans with. I run my own 3d print shop and have a lot of down time during and between jobs. I can do short or long term pet care as my business needs can be scheduled around that. I have a fully fenced yard, 3 very diplomatic dogs to keep them company and the ability to separate my pets from yours for the duration if needed. I will follow all instructions left for me when entering a client's home and do only the tasks asked of me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Brandon 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 Brandon 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 Brandon 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
