About: With 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats in their homes, I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for everything from young puppies to senior dogs, including multiple dogs in one household and high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable following individualized routines, including special diets and oral or topical medications/treatments. I’m also happy to learn and follow your pet’s specific care instructions to make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. For active dogs, I’m more than happy to match their energy—I’m willing to go on whatever length of walk is appropriate for their needs rather than treating exercise as a one-size-fits-all service. Whether your dog needs a long walk and lots of playtime or prefers a quiet, relaxed day at home, I’ll tailor their care to them. I know that house sitting is about more than just caring for your pets. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own, and I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and affection while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet care, including daytime visits, walks, and overnight house sitting. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and can accommodate their individual routines and needs. My availability will become more limited when I begin my full-time position later this year, but I will keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings I can give my full attention to. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, exercise, and other special care needs. I’m attentive to safety and will make sure your pets are secure and comfortable throughout my stay or visit. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Being entrusted with keeping your pet safe is not something I take lightly! I want pet parents to know their babies are well, I love to send updates and have an open line of communication! I am a full time college student and have class Monday through Wednesday, I also work my service job Thursday through Saturday. I have lots of time around these activities (believe it or not) and I would love to care for your fur babies! I want to know your needs as a pet parent, and we can schedule around that! I will treat your animals as if they are my own. I have had dogs my entire childhood and understand that your animals are a part of your family, I plan to spoil them as much as possible!
“Carmen was amazing with our furbabies! (Two of our dogs are shy and she won them over immediately). I loved receiving daily pictures and videos!! We came home to a clean home and happy animals! We will definitely be booking again!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
“James is fantastic! He has watched our dog (and house) several times. It is obvious that he loves animals and he is very neat and conscientious staying at our house. It has been so helpful having someone we trust to take care of things while we are gone. Highly recommend!”
“Jhada is AMAZING!!! She loved on my little munchkin very well was very attentive and communicative when there was any concern. I’m so glad I was able to travel for work without having to stress. Jhada thank you so much.”
About: I’ve been in love with dogs ever since I was little ! I’ve had about 3 family dogs in my lifetime . I currently have a fluffy golden-doodle that I’ve had since she was a baby . I love dogs and determined to treat other dogs like they’re my own . There’s no dog too big or too small to receive unconditional love ❤️ I’m 21 currently a full time college student working online to be certified in sonography. I also have a crochet business i attend to on the side .I only do school at the moment so your furry baby will have all of my attention ! I care for pets like they’re my own ! I comfort them when needed , give them their necessities, and play with them unconditionally. Can’t forget about talking long walks
“JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.”
“Olivia took very good care of my fur baby Izzy. She communicated well and ensured that she understood the instructions on taking care of my baby. I wasn’t worried about Izzy at all while I was away. I would definitely recommend her, she’s awesome!”
“I needed a last minute dog sitter and Kendall was kind enough to agree to help. She was great and did such a good job taking care of my Ellie and provided photos and updates throughout her stay. She even left a sweet gift for me upon my return. Would definitely have her take care of Ellie again!”
“Loren was just amazing! We have 3 fur babies with 3 different personalities and they loved her!! Molly, our oldest, sat next to her when we were touching base and kept giving her sad eyes and Raven, the baby had to give her lots of love before she was able to leave. We will be repeat with Loren! Amazing!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 16 years old and have many years of hands-on experience with pets of different personalities and needs. I regularly dog sit for family and friends and also spent a few years working in an animal shelter, where I gained additional experience caring for and interacting with animals. I also have experience cat sitting and am a proud dog owner myself—my dog, Marshall, is a big part of my life! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently work from home and have plenty of free time to care for your pets, with open availability; this can be adjusted to anyone's schedule. I have an open backyard and plenty of room for your fur babies to explore, but even having my own pet at home, it would take away from caring for yours. I will always provide a loving and safe environment for all pets.
About: For many years I've been the go-to choice for friends and family who needed a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter. Considering my life long love of animals big and small, Rover allows me to help pet owners find someone dependable to help care for their fuzzy friends. Whether caring for big playful dogs, proud wary cats, or even sensitive older pets my top priority is always the peace of mind of the pet parent. I work remotely which allows me to have plenty of freedom to care for pets during most people's work hours. The only weekdays that I'm typically unavailable are Fridays during the Fall season. I keep detailed notes for each client's preferences and instructions so that everything goes as smoothly as possible. My top priority is always the peace of mind of the pet parent so whatever rules and routines you already have in place for your pets will be maintained while I care for them.
About: I have been a pet sitter for various platforms and have loved my experience of meeting new people and learning about their pets. I would love to get to know you! I am a senior in college and have been pet-sitting for about one year. I am independent, communicative, and flexible. I am studying wildlife conservation and have a plethora of experience getting my hands dirty. Pet Care is very important to me. I am in my senior year of college, so I often have services available on days when I do not have classes. It is serious work; pet care is just as critical as childcare, so I'd like to ensure that I give enough time and attention to the pets that I am working with I am very hands-on throughout my pet-sitting experience. I love getting to know each personality of the pet that I am watching and learning new things about each person that I meet. I am very communicative throughout and a quick learner.
“We were so worried about leaving our 1 year old Belgian for a week. Allison immediately connected with Murph upon meeting. I am not sure he wanted us to come back. Allison was great- kept us updated and took great care of Murph!”
About: Since I was a child, I've had a strong affinity for animals and have always adored fur pets. I've been caring for animals since I was ten years old. I've worked with senior dogs for four years. Neighbors and friends have entrusted me with keeping an eye on, walking, bathing, and feeding their pets. I also kept an eye on chickens. I figured rover would be a great way for me to interact with a variety of furry friends. I can work full time on weekends and part time and weekdays because I’m still in school. But I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and drop ins on weekdays. I don't keep pets in cages because I don't want them to feel confined. I do accept pets on furniture, but if you want your pet to be crated I will allow it. I also have a very large yard for your pet to run about in.

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 Brooks 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 Brooks 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 Brooks 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.
