“Communicated with us throughout our trip. We forgot to tell her to take out the trash cans but she saw the neighbors doing it so went ahead and did that for us. She took great care of our dogs and we hope to use her again.”
“Byrnnye was an excellent dog sitter and left our home immaculately clean, we appreciated her very much. She was very responsive in getting back to us with texts that kept us informed of our dog's wellbeing.”
“Hunter was absolutely amazing. We did a meet and greet with our dogs because which went okay and then unfortunately they freaked out a bit when it came time for Hunter to watch them. Thankfully, Hunter was amazing, calm, kind and stuck through it with our babies. They kept us updated the entire time we were gone, sent us photos and videos and made sure we knew what was happening etc. I would trust my dogs (and cat!) with them any time.”
“The best sitters in the world! Mariam and Dominic are incredible and give us peace of mind when we need to leave our pup behind knowing he’s in such great care. They go above and beyond in all aspects and we won’t use any other sitters because we and our dog are so spoiled!”
“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
About: Your dog will stay on our private ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support. I am not taking on reactive/aggressive dogs at this time unless they can be kenneled outside of the home. Reach out to discuss. Full time dog boarder and trainer working from home. I provide 24/7 care as if your dog was one of my own. Pickup and drop off hours in morning or evening. Very limited afternoon pickup/drop off availability. 5 acres fully fenced in along with smaller fenced in play yards. Home is air conditioned. Dogs can either exercise on the full property if recall trained or in one of the smaller, 6ft tall play yard areas if they need a smaller enclosed area.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, of course. I’m adept at giving medications multiple time a day if needed, as I supported one of my dog through the end of his life. If your dog is up for it, I love going on hikes as well! I often take my brother’s Aussie/ Border collie mix on hikes when I’m in the Bay Area. Ultimately, you’d be doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to take care of your dog. I miss having a dog around and would love to give some affection and attention to yours 🙂 I’m a graduate student in her clinical phase so my schedule varies! Currently, I’m off Friday-Monday and have a lot of free time. I will update my schedule regularly with my availability. My apartment has a dog park so your dog would get a lot of outside time along with their walks. If you have any favorite toys that your dog likes, please provide them! My goal is to make your dog feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of peoples dogs since I was kid. I do it partly for my own enjoyment since I love dogs and all animals. Being a mom to my daughter most of the week, but her and I both love dogs so if she is with me your dog might get double the attention. I have a fenced yard with shade and a pet friendly house when needed. On hot days I fill up the doggy/baby pool to cool anyone off.
“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home. She sent photos and updates. We can tell our doggie enjoyed Cindy, because it was if we hadn’t left when we got back. She was calm, relaxed and happy. Very happy with Cindy taking care of our pet and home!”
About: I’ve had all types of dogs and cats throughout my 58 years of life. I currently have two beautiful Rottweilers whom I love dearly. Now that I’m retired, my goal is to get some land and have an animal rescue. I like spending time with animals more than people. I am retired so my days are spent spending time with my two Rottweilers and going to the gym and that’s about it. I have plenty of time to help care for animals that need me. I will care for your dog in whatever way you request. My schedule with them will be exactly what you want it to be. Both my Rottweilers sleep in my bed with me so if your dogs normally sleep in the bed with you, I will do that too. Actually it’s my favorite 🥰. I get sad when I have to leave my Rottweilers with family only because I know they’ll miss sleeping with me, going to their favorite park and chasing the ball, and spending the entire day with me. Animals get used to their routine and it stresses them out and makes them sad when they don’t get to do their normal things and spend time with their people. So I will try to make them as happy as they can be while you’re gone.
“OMG! Alejandra did such a good job. The dogs loved her. She was responsive and sent updates and photos each day, which set my mind at ease. I will absolutely use her again and will definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting. Thank you Alejandra”
“Hunter was amazing!!!! I plan to call her again when in need, and highly recommend to all. She was prompt with communication, and kept me updated with status and photos of both dogs daily. I am so glad I selected her as I was able to go on vacation with peace of mind.”
“So grateful for Cheri’s care for understanding Tibby’s needs. With our dogs anxiety, she allowed the time for him to grow comfortable with her while providing him a safe, comfortable and fun environment. She played with him and took him for walks and shared photos throughout the day. Thank you for taking such great car of our boy.”
About: I’ve taken care dogs and cats since I was about 10, I’ve had beautiful experience with my own pets and helping sitter for relatives and friends pets as well. I currently have open flexible availability daily, I can adjust to your pet’s needed schedule as needed. I can give your pet the love and support needed daily. I have a fenced in backyard and live in safe neighborhood perfect for neighborhood walks. I also I have plenty of space in my home for crates if needed for your pet to sleep in.
“Vanessa is a smooth operator! We hired her as our first house sitter & to look after our 2 cats and dog while we were away for a few days. She is incredibly warm, attentive & a great dog caretaker. Our pup & kitties didn’t skip a beat in their routine. Would recommend Vanessa & would book 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 Byron 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 Byron 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 Byron 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.
