About: I have experience with all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to bunnies and fish. i’ve been looking after animals for friends and family for years in always the first one they think of to ask! I am currently a student in college, but that means i’ll have more time to care and play with your pets. I’m available for drop ins, walking, or overnights! I will care for your animals as if they are my own, I will clean up after myself and them whenever necessary, I will monitor them and send you check in’s
“We love Kayla! She was so wonderful with our two pups and cat. Checked in, sent pics and had a blast with them when she stayed at our house. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be rebooking.”
“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”
“Jared was great, attentive and communicated well. Was glad to have someone caring for my dog while he was in cone head mode and had to stay behind on Thanksgiving! Would definitely re-book”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals —I focus on making them feel secure, understood, and cared for just like they’re my own. I'm new to Rover as I'm sure my profile shows lol However, Im able to show reviews & plenty of pet love I've given thus far 🥰 This job is equally as enjoyable for mee as the beautiful fur babies ❤️ (maybe more) Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my bookings to make sure each pet gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I build my day with their needs in mind so I can provide dependable, stress-free care I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions, while also giving them plenty of attention and affection.
“Elated to have found Paulette. Meet and greet showed us a kind, warm person and our pets were instantly comfortable with her. Regular updates while we were away helped ease our anxiety and Paulette was kind enough to send photos on request when we were missing our babies. Came back to a clean house and very happy and content fur babies. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Katherine was great! Our Butterball was well taken care of while we were away during Thanksgiving. She even rolled with the punches when the electronics at the house seemed to not cooperate! Would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”
“Annie was awesome!! She took great care of our golden, he had his own vacation while we were gone. Annie kept us up to date and sent some great pictures. She is a natural and our dog absolutely loves her!”
“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Nora is great! She came by to meet Mac ahead of booking and we could tell she had a really kind energy. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated and even drew us a wonderful picture of him.”
“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”
“Madison was very attentive to our pups and kept us updated the entire time we were away. She made sure our two energetic Aussies were well taken care of. A very responsible young lady!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
“Danielle was amazing! Our pets didn’t want us to come home! We have a doggy who needs extra attention and Danielle was so good with her. She gave amazing updates along the trip. Highly recommend!”
“Julie is THE VERY BEST! We have three older dogs who can be challenging. She gave them such loving attention and care. Julie always kept us abreast of their status with updates and photos. When we got home, our dogs were happy to see us, but they didn’t seem as jubilant as they normally do. THAT’S A TESTAMENT to Julie. THEY LOVED HER!!! And that’s what every family should want for their pups. Have no reservations about hiring Julie. We will be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Julie!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Charlton Depot
It’s difficult for me to find the words for this review. While we were away one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Because of Bill’s dedication, careful monitoring, and experience I was able to get home in time to say goodbye to my boy. Without Bill and his care for our fur babies I would not have made it home in time and my boy would have been in prolonged pain and stress. As well as sound decision making he then made sure our other dog was emotionally supported by spending an extended amount of time with her until we could get home. Bill remained in constant communication with us, our emergency contact, and the medical staff. His exceptional communication skills helped us orient ourselves to the seriousness and make informed decisions from an ocean away. He went well above and beyond his job description of being a dog sitter and was just an incredible person and support. Bill is the standard for pet care and is the best option for owners who deeply value their pets.

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 Charlton Depot 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 Charlton Depot 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 Charlton Depot 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.
