“Hannah did a fantastic job watching our pups. We have a Newfoundland and Great Pyrenees and she handled them (all 250+ lbs of them!) great! She kept to their normal routine and gave them lots of love. She sent updates and pictures which was so thoughtful. She even helped us in a pinch with an additional pup. Would certainly ask Hannah to watch the boys again and would recommend her to anyone who asked! Thanks Hannah!”
“We used Ariel’s services for a last minute booking and she was so wonderful with all 4 of our dogs. She was tremendously helpful and we really appreciate her professionalism!”
“Rebecca was the most amazing house sitter. Not only did she exceed my expectations for a first ever sitter for my 3 rambunctious large dogs, but more importantly, my dogs just gravitated to her as if she was a family member. Rebecca arrived on time, and as this was our first meet and greet, she was very receptive of my fur babies routine and individual quirks. Daily, I received an update and pictures of my crew, and if there were questions or clarification needed, she did not hesitate to ask. When I arrived home, my house was clean, the bedding washed, and the dishes in the dishwasher, and to 3 very happy dogs! A dream sitter for sure and I highly recommend Rebecca as a house and dog sitter. She will not disappoint and will exceed all expectations. I will be using her in the future for sure. A truly special animal whisperer! My dogs just loved her!”
About: I have owned dogs for 40 years. I just recently lost my little Maltese. He was 16 years old and my best friend. Your dog will be treated like a grandchild when they are with me. One of my friends said that when she dies she wants to come back as one of my pets! I have the time and the experience to take care of your dog. I will try to accommodate your scheduling needs. If your dog requires a special diet that is not a problem. Once a week I roasted a chicken for my little guy. I just love their company. I look forward to the opportunity of spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and always having cuddle time. The house is just not the same without a dog around. I am retired so I have the flexibility to accommodate your booking and scheduling needs. No need to panic if you are delayed picking up your best friend. I adjust the day according to your dog's schedule. Your pet takes top priority. Since I only board one dog at a time (or 2 within the same family) your dog has my undivided attention all day. If your dog likes to cuddle on the couch or sleeps in your bed that is what he/she can do at my house. Before I accept a booking I require a Meet and Greet to determine if we are a good fit. I prefer small hypoallergenic breeds that DO NOT SHED!. If the dog comes to my home and does shed I will charge an extra fee of $50.00. Your dog must be house broken, bathed prior to boarding, current on all vaccines, and must have had a flea and tic treatment. I also request that anything you bring into my house is clean and laundered, like blankets and beds, etc. Your pet will never be outside unattended or off leash. Your dog becomes a member of my family during their stay and will be cared for like my own . That's a promise! I'm retired. I am home all day. Whatever schedule your dog has I can easily accommodate it. Having a dog in my home brings me much joy. The dog's needs come first. If a special diet is required or medicine needs to be given I am very capable of handling these types of situations. The dog will never be off leash when we are outside unless you have instructed otherwise. If the dog has certain "triggers" or is an anxious type we can discuss this behavior at the meet and greet and discuss how these situations are handled.
“Cierra took care of our cat and dog and we found them very happy and well taken care of once we got home. Our place was left neat and clean, she did an awesome job and was able to give our dog her needed oral medication along with her eye drops without incident. She sent many pictures and updates during her stay and that helped ease our minds.”
About: I've had pets and been around others since I was young. I love all animals and enjoy spending as much time with them as I can. They are usually just as excited to see me as I am too see them. I make my own schedule so my availability is very open. I can work around your schedule when needed. Nights and weekends are also open I will follow any instructions for care from pet parents. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have plenty of experience walking dogs of all sizes so this will not be an issue either.
“Abhay was quick to respond and took great care of my parent's 2 dogs and 2 cats. One of the dogs required 2x daily medicine and Abhay was sure to let us know that he was taking it and keeping him healthy. He was also responsible when it came to the heat wave that was happening while he was watching the pets and still ensured the dogs got plenty of exercise! Thank you Abhay.”
“Emily is AWESOME! This was our first time using Rover. Emily took wonderful care of our senior pup. She listened and was very attentive with our concerns. She communicated above and beyond which eased our minds being away. Most of all, our Sakari loved her. We will absolutely work with her again!”
“Annie was awesome with our two pups - they're giant breeds and needs proper grooming. Annie not only did an exceptional job in terms of taking care of our pets but also kept our house clean. We'd love to have her again.”
“Zoe took great care of our pets, followed their care instructions, sent plenty of photos, and left the house in good shape too. We know our dog and cats enjoyed being under her care and were happy & healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Shadya. I have experience caring for pets through pet sitting and from having pets of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while in my care. I’m currently studying Veterinary Technology and I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid. I know every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently in college, but I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s usual routine. I always do my best to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they’re in my care! I’m happy to follow their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or any instructions you leave. I also understand that every pet has their own personality, so I’m patient and always make sure they get the care and attention they need.
“Duncan is absolutely wonderful. my dogs warmed to his gentle and calm demeanor instantly. he frequently sent photos and video updates which provided me with peace of mind while away from my pups. would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”
“Tatiana was absolutely amazing ! It was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy for the weekend and Tatiana made us feel so comfortable and calm throughout the weekend updating us with pictures and how Rue was doing while we were away. She is very professional and extremely accommodating. Would 100% book again with her :)”
“Kayla was professional, communicative, and great with my anxious senior dog. She followed instructions perfectly and administered her medications without any issues. I came home to a very happy dog. I will be happy to book Kyla again to take care of my fur baby.”

Brianna was so thoughtful - took excellent care of our two senior citizen pups. Very communicative on how they were doing, eating, etc. Sent us pics. If she wasn't sure about something, she asked. Made us feel confident that our dogs were getting the best care. Highly recommend!

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 Chartley 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 Chartley 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 Chartley 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.
