“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was fantastic with my 1 year old pup. My dog has a lot of energy and is very clingy and Lindsey showed so much concern and care for his well being. She took him on a ton of walks, played with him a bunch, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciate how thorough and caring she is! She made sure to send me photos and videos, and kept me updated on his walks, how he slept, and his little quirks. My dog was so comfortable around her and was calm and tired upon me returning, so I can tell that Lindsey took exceptional care of him. I would recommend Lindsey wholeheartedly!”

About: Hello! My name is Jada. I have an 11-year-old Shih Tzu that lives like a king! Though he is a couch potato, he enjoys walks, playing fetch, and going on car rides in his car seat! I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience caring for ones with special needs and diets. Any and all instructions you inform me of will be followed with the utmost care to keep your pet satisfied! I am currently a full-time college student, however, I have a full house. Therefore, my family and I collaborate and have a ton of time on our hands to care for and spend time with your pets!

Whatever instructions I am given will be followed to ensure that your pet's routine is maintained and they remain comfortable.
“Lori is the best!! She is wonderful with our rescue who is quite anxious around new people. Lori is a great communicator and gave us lots of updates while we were away. We will definitely ask her to sit the next time we go out if town!”
“Brenna was great! She watched my two big dogs at my house and did an awesome job. I received lots of updates and photos, and she was very patient with my dogs who didn’t want to go outside to potty during the recent rainstorms. My home was just as clean and tidy as when i left! I would definitely have her dog and house sit again. Thanks, Brenna!”
“Murphy helped take care of our new puppy on short notice; he was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our fur baby. He sent regular pictures and videos along with updates on what she did throughout the day.

About: I have at least 10 years of experience with dogs & cats and have a special knack for tuning into their needs and giving them full attention. I am currently available most days and weekends, and can offer last minute reservations up to 24 hours in advanced. On the first couple visits I like to get to know the animal, and treats are usually the best way to a pets heart! I usually carry treats on me, but please let me know if your pet has any dietary restrictions. I can pet-sit at the clients home only. When sitting I like to spend time with the animals and get to know them. I like to pay special attention to each one to build a relationship of trust, with pets and owners.
About: I have 11 years of experience caring for my dog and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and needs, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities! I am mainly available on weekends for drop-in visits and dog walks. On certain days during the week I am also available for drop-ins and walks. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure to follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I provide plenty of love, attention, and companionship while keeping them safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
“Veronica was great! She took care of our 14 month dog for 7 hours. She took him on a nice long walked, played with him, relaxed with him and sent cute pictures. She seemed experienced and confident which made us feel very comfortable leaving Bert with her for the first time. We would definitely recommend her and will book her again. Thanks Veronica!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs! I have experience with kittens and puppies, as well as our rescue senior dog. I have occasionally used tricks to get pets to take medication, and I am no stranger to moody pets. I also have experience with pets recovering from various medical procedures ranging from teeth removal to major surgeries. I recently moved to the city! I’m not planning to get a strict scheduled job and prefer the flexibility Rover has to offer, so my schedule is very open. I do not have any personal equipment for handling pets at the moment, so anything needed for the care of the pet must be provided by the client. I am very happy to walk, feed, play with, and just simply spend time with your pets whenever needed! So long as all the necessary care items are provided for me, I can do it!
“Emily was amazing! She has such great energy—easygoing, kind, and a wonderful communicator. She had so much patience with my senior rescue maltipoo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my pup was in caring hands. I’d definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“Super great with communication and flexibility. She was great with both my pups and left my house spotless. I will be booking again and I would highly recommend her”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - City Terrace
Elisabeth was very caring and responsibe. She sent updates and pictures throughout her 10 days stay so that we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. She took extremely good care of our cat and left our place super tidy. We are glad we found her and will definetely hire her again.
We had such a wonderful experience with Meganjoy’s dog sitting during our wedding! It was such a relief knowing our dog was in caring, reliable hands on such an important and busy day. Having someone we could trust to look after him allowed us to focus on celebrating without worrying. We really appreciated the care, kindness, and attention given to our pups. Thank you for helping make our wedding day that much more special! We would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog sitter for a wedding.
Lio took amazing care of our sweet rescue dog Winnie. This was our first time leaving Winnie with a sitter, and Lio knocked it out of the park! Winnie is very scared and timid at first, and Lio was so respectful of her boundaries. In a short time Winnie warmed up to Lio and they had a great connection! Thank you for making Winnie feel safe! Lio gave great updates and left our apartment in great condition. Will definitely book again!!
Reina was awesome and did such a great job watching our Frenchie and our house! She was super communicative the whole time and we always felt like our pup was in really good hands. She sent us lots of cute pictures and updates, which we loved getting while we were away. We would definitely recommend Reina and would be very happy to have her watch our dog again!
We absolutely love Sarah and David! They’ve stayed in our home and watched our senior dog twice now and we feel so lucky to have found them. Our dog has a lot of quirks and a specific routine, including medications that have to be given on schedule. He is also weary of new people, but Sarah and David’s experience and patience with dogs have helped him adjust to them quickly. They’ve been very reliable, communicative, and take great care of our home too. Both times we’ve come back our home has been clean and in great shape.
Lindsey is fantastic! She keeps me updated and sends pics while I’m gone, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, my guy loves spending time with Lindsey. She keeps up with his energy and prioritizes play and walks which is great because he’s always tuckered out when I get home. She treats my dog like he is her own and gives him all the love and care. Lindsey has watched my dog overnight and I feel completely comfortable with her in our home. She is neat and clean and very respectful!
I have two senior dogs who require special care, and they both have very different needs. Vivian was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient with both of them. She even administered medication to one of my dogs and hand-fed both of them when needed. This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was definitely nervous and worried about leaving them. Vivian gave me peace of mind and made me feel much more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciate how caring and attentive she was, and I would definitely recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
Megan is absolutely wonderful! My timid cat was instantly smitten with her. He usually hides. It's truly heartwarming to see them bond so quickly. She has such a special way with animals, creating a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent.

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 City Terrace 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 City Terrace 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 City Terrace 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.
