“Geneva looked after my cat Crossaint for a full three weeks, staying with her at my home. Never once during the three weeks did I feel like I needed to check in with Geneva or worry about Croissiant! Geneva is FANTASTIC! Super communicative, very reliable and extremely considerate of your needs. Book Geneva without any hesitation - she is AMAZING!”

Our fur babies LOVED her! 1000% will rebook with her and would recommend her as a sitter to anyone! We are so thankful for the wonderful care over thanksgiving! Thank you again Nadia!”
“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Ainsley was great! She watched our 14 year old elderly rat terrier for a week and sent us daily pictures and updates. She even asked if he had a sweater to wear when it got cold one night. She kept the house spotless too! We would love to use Ainsley again and would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’m a long time pet owner and love spending time around animals. I have a 10 year old Siberian Husky that keeps me on my toes. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and boarding. I’m punctual, value communication, and of course will provide as many or as little updates as you want with pictures! I work full time, but I’m currently off for the summer. My schedule is very open and flexible to allow caring for your pet. I’m a very active person and don’t mind being outside at any time of day. I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard, but I make sure to get my steps in and my dogs by going on frequent walks. My apartment also has a fenced in dog park that I use to let dogs have time outside off leash
“Lemuel was great! He came to watch our house and animals for a week and a half, and did a great job. We even have a couple dogs who don’t always get along and need some additional management and he took great care of that ensuring that everyone was happy and healthy while we were gone.”
About: I’ve had several pets over my entire life, and truly believe a pet makes a home. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, and want to expand my care to your fur babies. I am only focused on cat-sitting 🐈⬛!! I have experience taking care of kitties, adult cats, and cats who require medication on a schedule. I am no stranger to a dirty litter box and will make sure that your cats have a clean space to do their business; sicknesses in cats can be caught early in the litter box so i’ll be very attentive to any abnormalities. *My calendar is updated frequently. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to your pet care needs, please reach out for any questions!! I have an open schedule, for weekdays and weekends. I am also available during holiday season. I have online college classes, but they do not require me to show up in person meaning I can be with your pets anytime! All cats are different, and their owners know them best, so I will follow your instructions and take care of your kitties the way you would! I will be respectful of you and your cat's home and will prioritize respecting your kitties' boundaries to hopefully establish a strong connection with them.
“Madeline took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation for spring break! She was great about following the specific food diet and medication regime for one of our dogs. We received many pictures of happy and smiling doggos.”
“Could not have asked for a better pet sitter! Ashlee was absolutely wonderful with my dogs while I was away for a week. She stayed at my house, took incredible care of everything, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was on vacation. Most importantly, she went above and beyond with my senior dog by making sure he received his medication every single day. That meant so much to me and made it so much easier to relax knowing he was in such good hands. Ashlee was also extremely responsive throughout the entire stay and sent me multiple pictures of the dogs each day. Seeing them looking so happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away was honestly the best. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and wasn’t just there to do a job. She was responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and incredibly attentive—not only to my dogs but to my home as well. I came back to happy dogs and a home that was exactly as I left it. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% recommend Ashlee to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets and their home. I will absolutely be booking her again! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brookside Village
Paris is absolutely wonderful and reliable! She kept Hudson comfortable and happy during our time away from home. She sent lots of pictures of Hudson, and Hudson really enjoyed her time with her. She was very thorough with Hudson’s care and left our home clean, which I’m very grateful for. I will definitely book with Paris again and I highly recommend her for your pet’s care. Thank you so much Paris for everything you have done!
We had an amazing experience with our sitter! She showed up five minutes early, asked tons of thoughtful questions to really understand Penelope’s routine, and even came for a meet-and-greet before the first visit. While we were at my daughter’s cheer competition, she took such great care of Penelope — she taught her “down,” Penelope had no accidents, and she sent me the cutest photo updates throughout the day. I felt completely comfortable and informed the whole time. Penelope adored her, and so did we. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

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 Brookside Village 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 Brookside Village 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 Brookside Village 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.

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.

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.
