“Chloe is great with our pets. She’s so patient and caring with our dog who has separation anxiety. She is flexible and communicates so well. It really allows for us to get away and not have to worry about our pets well being, which is huge for us and so appreciated.”
“Peyton was an absolute delight as was her 4 month old Husky Indie!! LB met his match trying to keep up with her & I loved having them here so LB felt safe in his own environment. I would definitely Recommend Peyton with or without Indie!!”
“Alexis was a great communicator throughout my trip and took great care of Theo! We initially planned for him to stay at her house, but plans changed partway through the stay and we switched to drop-in visits at my home. The change did cause me a little worry while I was away, but she kept me updated and everything worked out well. I really appreciated her communication and flexibility throughout the week, and Theo was happy and well cared for when I got home!”
“Peyton was amazing!!! Such a relief that she checked in regularly and sent photos. Dogs were so happy with her that we didn't even get the normal guilt trip when we returned :). HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
About: I’ve had many pets and animals. I have also dog sat quite a bit in home for 5 dogs at a time. I am very good with animals and very patient. I am a student at South Dakota State University. My schedule makes it so I can get back home every few hours so I can check up on things and let them out. I have a very flexible schedule. My roommate has a little male dachshund. My yard doesn't have a fence because I live in an apartment. I do have a sliding glass door that leads straight out to the grass because I am on the first floor. I am very flexible about how I care for pets, so I can do it however you'd like.
About: Spending years helping out at my family’s dog kennel and hunt club I have gained hands on experience of dog handling, behavioral training, obedience, hunt test training, and in depth care. I am a college student at South Dakota State University so day to day my schedule varies. I am open to all days and weekends working around my classes. Safety is my number one priority. Making sure the animals are safe and well cared for is a must. Being respectful to the clients and their home is a must as well.
About: I’ve watched friends animals before, but really I just used to take care of my own dog before she passed! But I really want to help out those who need help with their animals!! I have now graduated from college with my bachelors! I am working full-time at another job, but I am very flexible, and my job is very flexible with me so I can make most things work! I can take care of your dog or cat however you need, I love going on walks, playing, and spending time with animals! Just let me know what you want and I can provide!
About: **I used to own the business Beck's Pawsitively Precious Pet Care out of Pipestone, MN until I decided to close the business in March 2020. I absolutely love all animals. I rescued my current pup, Eliza, when she was about 2 1/2 from a breeder. She is a cavapoo with a loving disposition. I’m used to super hyper dogs, senior dogs, dealing with food sensitivity, allergies, issues with other animals, and needing to give medication. I also have a flame point Munchkin named Fluffkins. He is 3 years old now and has a whole lot of sass. PLEASE NOTE: Eliza will not be with me during any of my bookings. I work full-time in home healthcare so am available most weekends, early mornings, and a little bit in the evenings. Just message me with any questions you may have and I’m sure we can work something out. I look forward to taking care of your precious family member. I make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved and has lots of fun while being able to stay in the environment he/she is familiar with. They will get lots of snuggles and attention.
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals and have experience with both cats and dogs! I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I love providing safe, patient, and loving care. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I am currently working part-time as a swim coach and have swim practice in the morning so I’ll have plenty of time love on your pet!! I provide pet care in my client’s home by keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine while their owners are away. I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive any care they need based on their personality and schedule. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and stress free in their own environment while keeping owners updated.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I connect with them easily and love caring for them like family. I dog sit year round for multiple families in my neighborhood. I also love to donate my time to the shelter and support the homeless animals who are just wanting to be loved! I’m patient, responsible, and full of positive energy. Giving animals care brings me joy! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine—I have a high-energy, high-maintenance Border Collie, so I’m used to staying active, alert, and on a consistent schedule. My school and work revolve around her needs, and I genuinely enjoy the responsibility. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of who I am. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routine, from feeding and walks to any special needs like medications or training. I take the time to build trust and give them attention, play, and care beyond the basics. I treat every animal like my own, always putting their well-being first.

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 Bushnell 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 Bushnell 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 Bushnell 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.
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.
