“Kyle is a great pet sitter, he was very conscientious of the animals needs and was great in the house. He kept me up to date and sent pictures and updates. My dogs loved him! I highly recommend.”


About: With a lifetime of experience living with dogs, I am confident around them. I own two medium large dogs that love their lifestyle. "Wow, he/she doesn't usually like men!" is something I've heard a lot from people when I meet their dog. It takes patience to learn a dog's communication style, but when they feel understood they do everything they can to express themselves. When they feel comfortable with my ability to successfully communicate they trust me. I've dog sat for friends, but this time in my life I can do more. I'm mostly finished with professional career life. I'm writing the great American novel instead now. I walk my dogs twice a day and go on hikes on weekends where they're allowed. Dogs are the secret to a peaceful mind. Respectful of space and privacy, I'm here for your dogs because I have dogs. I'd want someone who cares about dogs to care for mine when I'm not there.

“James is wonderful with our dog Astoria. At their meet and greet, she instantly was comfortable with him and it is clear he has a love of dogs. James was very flexible with us when our plans changed last minute. Would highly recommend his sitting and walking services.”

“We’ve now had Florence care for our four cats and one dog on multiple occasions, including an extended weekend and, most recently, an overnight stay. Each time, we’ve come home to a happy household and well-cared-for pets. Two of our cats are hairless and have some special needs, so we really appreciate how thoughtfully she manages their allergies and makes sure they stay warm as the weather gets colder. She’s responsive over text while we’re away, which gives us real peace of mind. Our home is always left clean and tidy, and all of our animals are safe, happy, and well cared for when we return. Caring for five pets with different needs is no small job, and Florence has been great. We’re happy to have her back whenever we travel and would recommend her to other pet owners!”


“Laura was absolutely amazing. She cared for my dog during a crazy storm. She kept him safe and comfortable and kept me updated thru the entire stay. I will absolutely request her for the next overnight and I am so thankful for her!!!”

“Hailee was so great with our cat Duke! It’s been difficult to find someone reliable and that we trust but Hailee eased all our worries! We felt Duke was in the best hands while we were away and will continue using Hailee for drop ins/stays.”
“Amber took great care of my dog Mocha. He gets very nervous when alone. She gave him plenty of attention and play time. Sent us pictures and kept me updated on how he was eating. I felt very comfortable letting her stay in our home. Will definitely be calling her again. Thanks Carol & Mocha”

About: Dogs have been my greatest love my entire life. I currently have two husky mixes of my own and know firsthand what it takes to care for high energy, strong breeds. I’ve raised puppies and work regularly with a professional trainer to continue their growth and development. I founded a premium dog lifestyle brand because I believe dogs deserve the best — and that’s exactly the standard I bring to every walk and visit. Your dog gets my full attention, consistent care, and photo updates throughout. I keep my client list small on purpose so every dog in my care gets exactly what they deserve. I only accept friendly dogs — this ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. I’m available for walks and visits on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Friday afternoons starting at 3:30pm. I keep my schedule intentional and my client list small so every dog in my care gets my full attention — never rushed, never an afterthought. When I’m in your home or with your dog on a walk, your pet’s safety is my number one priority. I have two husky mixes of my own so I’m experienced handling strong, high energy dogs on leash. I’m attentive, calm, and always aware of my surroundings. I provide photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy. I only accept friendly dogs to ensure a safe experience for everyone.
“Kim was a fantastic dog sitter! She was friendly, reliable, and great with my dog! While I was out of town she stayed at my place with my dog. I never felt like I couldn’t reach her or didn’t know what was going on. She reached out regularly with updates and photos which were greatly appreciated. Thank you Kim!”

About: My love for animals has stayed constant throughout my life. I am currently a receptionist at a veterinary hospital. I would love to continue my education in the veterinary field. I have always especially loved dogs and never been without a dog in my home. I have a 1 year old bichon-shih tzu mix, Lulu, who is full of energy and loves to play. Depending on the pup I'm housing or if I'm house sitting, Lulu can either stay in my home, as she loves other dogs or I can take her to my friend's house for dogs who would prefer to be the only dog in a home. I will give your pup all the love, patience, and play time they need to be happy and I will look after your beloved pet just like my own!
“Chris is awesome! He was so easy to communicate with and you can tell he really loves dogs. I do not trust my dog with anyone outside the family, but I do trust him with Chris for 2 most important reasons. He has health issues and needs medication, and he is a runner. Being a Hound, he can even get away from me! It is very difficult to keep him safe. I trust Chris with him totally. I can rest easy when he is with Chris, and I do not have to worry about him being in a crate all day. Thank You Chris for being there for us!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have rescued and cared for several over the years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, and pets with medical needs, including administering oral medications and injections. My wife is a great support and shares the same passion for animals. She’s a marine biologist and she's worked in animal hospitals, farms, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, adding another layer of knowledge and experience to the care we provide. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality, routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m an Athletic Trainer and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off. My wife has a flexible work schedule and is home most of the time. Between the two of us, someone is almost always home, so dogs are rarely left alone for more than two hours. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives plenty of individualized attention, playtime, affection, and care throughout the day. My home is quiet, fully fenced, and designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. There are no children or resident pets, allowing me to provide a calm environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, have clean dog beds throughout the house, and can even sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to at home. I send daily photo and video updates, and you’re always welcome to message me anytime. Several veterinary hospitals and clinics are within a 5-minute drive if veterinary care is ever needed.
About: I’ve had dogs for almost my whole life! I love to take care of them! I would care for your dog as if they were my own. :) I currently work for a major hospital, and I work a 4 day work week. I have off almost every weekend and 1 day off during the week. I have a fenced yard for running & playing and I live in a great area where we can go for good walks! Your dog would gets lots of pets and cuddles from me as well :)

About: Hi! I’m Jo, and I specialize in caring for small dogs who are used to being someone’s whole world. After struggling to find a sitter who truly only takes one dog at a time, I decided to become the kind of sitter I was searching for. I know how hard it is to leave your little one with someone else. Small dogs aren’t just pets — they’re shadows, cuddle buddies, emotional support systems, and family. They thrive on attention, routine, and feeling safe. That’s exactly what I provide. If the thought of your small dog feeling scared or lost among a pack worries you, you’ve found the safe place you’ve been looking for I work from home so will be able to give full attention. I understand small dog energy — from clingy Velcro pups to sassy little bosses. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to their comfort and routines. Right now, caring for my own small dog is part of my everyday life. I follow a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and lots of affection throughout the day. I make sure my dog gets enough exercise but also has quiet time to rest, especially after walks or play. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if something seems off.
About: I’ve been in the dog/ cat sitting business for over 15 years with experience giving medications and taking care of your loved ones like my own. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets. In-depth knowledge of animal care and training techniques. I’m currently working full time in the animal field and have pretty much a set schedule. I work early mornings and usually am home before 1pm everyday. I have a fenced in yard lots of property and one very friendly pup. I also would come to your home and watch your pet in their own environment.
“This was my first time using Isabella (Bella) and I was more than satisfied. I have four cats on four different types of food and two are on medications more than once a day. Bella followed the instructions for my complicated household perfectly and was in communication about updates the entire time. Additionally, one of my cats on medication gave Bella a very hard time. She was still able to medicate him which was no easy feat. I dont think anyone but a true, licensed professional like Bella would have been able to. I have the utmost trust and the highest rating for Bella, who succeeded my expectations. Bella is a reliable, compassionate sitter and I'd use her again in a heartbeat.”

“Sarah was awesome as our dog’s pet sitter. She was so conscientious and attentive to all of his needs. It was very evident how much he enjoyed his time with her. Sarah was so good with our dog and and is an excellent pet sitter! Additionally, she sent many great pics and I felt very reassured that Koa was in great hands while I was away.”

About: Since I was young, I have taken care of a variety of dogs. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have also been with puppies that were in the process of being potty trained. I have a flexible schedule. Please reach out to confirm my availability for specific days and times. I am also willing to take last minute bookings. In both my home and yours, I will make sure your dog is comfortable by ensuring they get to do all the things they love!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,097 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Calverton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Calverton 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 Calverton 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 Calverton 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.
