“Rob was great! He sat for our 2 dogs and cat. He was very communicative, responsive, reliable, and sent updates and photos. You can tell he loves animals. The puppies were happy and the house was neat and tidy when we got home.”
“Kelly was so amazing!! She was very communicative and made sure to send me lots of pictures. I am pretty sure she even vacuumed which I was not expecting but so grateful. I would absolutely book with her again and plan on doing!”

“Kay was a wonderful home and kitty sitter while we were gone for the holidays. Our cat developed a squinty cloudy eye the day we departed and Kay took excellent care. She took our girl to the vet and administered 2x daily eye drops. We received daily pictures and videos, and we could see how happy our cat was despite her eye problem! Overall I would definitely recommend Kay for your pets. It’s obvious she is a loving and caring pet caretaker.”

“I love when Paula stays with my Boston Terrier (Frank.) I come home to a calm sweet dog who is played out and has been loved. Paula takes super wonderful pictures of Frank happy to be with her. Paula is the best!”

“Thank you so much, Kayla! You were there to help us get our precious dog from the vet to the hospital while dealing with my chemo brain. You were there to listen and concerned for our dog. Wish you only the best in life. God bless you.”

“Ami was so great with all of our critters!!! She was very flexible, willing to do a meet and great and a trial drop in, to make sure our babies were comfortable with her before keeping them for a full weekend. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone!”

“Lydia was great! This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous. However, Lydia put us at ease. She took the time to get to know our three dogs. Also, Lydia was very patient, understanding, and caring knowing some of our dogs had some separation issues while we were away. Eventually, all three dogs became comfortable with Lydia. Lydia provided daily updates and pictures of the dogs and even did a Facetime call which gave us piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of. We trust Lydia and would book her again if needed.”

About: I’m a Gallatin local with three dogs of my own, so I know what it’s like to hand over your pet to someone else, you want to know they’re actually going to get attention, not just be tolerated until you’re back. On walks and visits, I stick to your dog’s routine, not mine, feeding times, potty schedule, medication, all of it. You’ll get photo updates so you’re not left wondering how things are going. I have a fenced yard at home for boarding stays, and I treat every dog in my care the way I’d want mine treated. I work a flexible day job, so I have real availability for walks, drop-ins, and boarding — not just squeezed-in gaps. I currently work full-time during the day; but my job can be flexible leaving room to care for your babies whenever my services are needed. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a warm and welcoming environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I prioritize comfort and safety by providing a designated space where they can relax and feel secure. Daily routines include regular feeding, playtime, and exercise, ensuring they stay active and engaged. I also offer personalized attention, whether it’s cuddling, training, or interactive games. Maintaining a clean and organized space is essential, so I ensure all areas are tidy, litter boxes are clean, and fresh water is always available. With my experience, I monitor their health and behavior closely, providing updates to owners and ensuring their pets receive the love and care they deserve while away from home. Caring for pets in clients’ homes involves several key practices: 1. Routine Maintenance: I follow the established daily routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. 2. Personalized Attention: I take time to engage with each pet, offering companionship and activities tailored to their preferences, whether it’s playtime, cuddling, or training exercises. 3. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye on each pet’s health and behavior, promptly noting any changes and ensuring any medications are administered as needed. 4. Safety First: I ensure the environment is safe by keeping hazardous items out of reach and supervising pets during playtime. 5. Regular Updates: I provide pet owners with regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep them informed and reassured while they’re away. 6. Clean Environment: I maintain a clean space by tidying up after the pets, ensuring litter boxes are cleaned, and fresh water is always available. These practices help create a loving, safe, and familiar environment for pets while their owners are away.
“We had a lovely experience with Charity as our dog sitter! She stayed at our house for two nights and spent most of her time there keeping Bailey company, which gave us real peace of mind. Bailey seemed so happy and relaxed when we got home, and it was clear she’d been well looked after. We also really appreciated the regular photo updates and how easy she was to communicate with throughout our trip. Charity left the house spotless too. We’d happily have her back to look after Bailey again and would definitely recommend her!”

“Cassie does a great job with our elderly cat. She also was GREAT with my daughter's rescue cat who can be unpredictable, especially with new people! Both cats were happy campers when we returned home!”

About: I have always had animals growing up old to young and I have sat for friends and family for vacations, weekends, and maybe just for a few hours, and I think of every animal as a great gift and all should cared for with love!!! I already enjoy spending time with animals in my free time, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m responsible with my time and make sure pets get the attention, exercise, food, and care they need. I’m happy to work pet care around my school and other responsibilities while making sure each pet feels loved and cared for. When caring for pets, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they need. I also make sure to keep their space clean and give them plenty of attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make their care my priority.

“We found ourselves in need of house sitting for our 3 young dogs at the last minute and reached out to Sarabeth. She responded very quickly and set up meet and greet the same day. She kept in touch with us daily on how our pups were doing with photos and updates. We left very specific care instructions which she followed to a “T”. When we arrived home our dogs were calm, well behaved and happy! This is our first time using in house pet sitting and Sarabeth made it a stress free and great experience for all of us. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommended her.”


“Stacie was great with our pups. She provided regular updates and made sure Bella was as comfortable as possible during a heavy rain storm. Would definitely recommend Stacie.”


“Rhonda was awesome! She took wonderful care of our dog and 3 cats while we were gone. We're already looking at her availability for next year so we can leave and feel totally comfortable leaving our pets in her care.”

We had a great experience with Cade! He took really good care of our cat, Lukas, while we were away for 4 days. He sent us photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Lukas looked happy and comfortable. We really appreciated how reliable and communicative Cade was — would definitely recommend him!

Violet was amazing. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Violet was very good at communicating and sending pictures. I even had neighbors approach me to let me know that my dog was very happy on her walks and that Violet was really good with her. I have already recommended her to a coworker and I will absolutely use her services 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 Castalian Springs 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 Castalian Springs 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 Castalian Springs 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.
