About: I have been pet sitting all summer for four clients. This includes walking, overnight care, house sitting, drop in visits, car rides, and communication with owners throughout my stay. As a dog and cat owner myself, I provide care with the same attention as I give my own. I am currently a OTA student at community college and do two day a week commutes plus online classes. I have more than enough time for pet care! I am reliable and very communicative. I show loyalty to my clients and provide a very calm safe space following the owners routine while sitting.
“Gabrielle was wonderful to work with. She was communicative, kind, and reliable, and I felt comfortable having her stay at my place and care for my cat. I appreciated her update once a day and would definitely recommend her to others.”

“Brooke is FANTASTIC! I this is my first solo ROVER AND I AM THRILLED! I loved getting the daily photos and updates. My boy is older and not used to being without his family at all. Brooke was so kind and made me feel so much better! Thank you Brooke!!”
“If I could give Kally 20 stars I would! The most professional sitter I have had on Rover! She is always so prompt, responsive, and gives great updates on our pups. She did an excellent job taking care of our two girls while we were away on a family vacation. Thank you Kally for everything! Poppy and Ruby love you!”
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Celina was great with our two pugs! One of them is very people shy, and she had him snuggling with her in no time! She kept us informed as to how our fur babies were doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jennifer is wonderful with our pets and also very considerate, leaving our house cleaner than when we left. It's nice to be able to relax on vacation without worrying about how things are going at home. With Jennifer we know everything's fine. Highly recommend her!”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs—they liked her right away, which immediately put me at ease. She gave me daily updates while I was away, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a clean house, which was such a nice bonus. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly great with animals. I will definitely be hiring her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”

My schedule is very flexible and I’m available for short- or longer-term situations. I’ll be out of the home for 3-4 hours at a time and can usually adjust my schedule to follow food/med routines. My 10 year-old cat lives a life of luxury through my servitude. I assume you love your pet as much as I love mine and I will care for your pet as well as I care for mine.

“Lindsey was absolutely amazing! Samson took to her immediately, which says a lot because he doesn't instantly warm up to everyone. She was so kind, patient, and loving with him, and it was obvious from the start that she's a true dog person. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Lindsey to watch Samson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter!”
About: It's a family for your fur family - Mom (Susan), Charlie (22), Evan (24), and sometimes Dad - we've been fostering rescue puppies and dogs for more than 18 years, providing care, training, medical support and, of course, lots of love. Whether you need a last-minute pop in for a potty break and snuggle, a walk with some basic leash training, or a week-long sitter, we can help. Someone is always around and working from home between mom, dad or our 2 college students so even last minute "going to happy hour" requests can be accommodated. We would love to meet you and your furry family! We're available on most days and times and can be flexible to meet your pet's needs. Last minute need or emergency? No problem! I can work to fit you in and have a backup team (aka college-age kids) who love pets as much as I do! We treat yours like ours - like Family! Your pet's comfort and happiness is most important. Once we get to know each other, we can have nice walks with some play and/or snuggle time - whatever they need! We only take one pet at a time for in-home services like boarding and doggie daycare and integrate them into our home. We even have a doggie door into a fenced yard but I prefer to do potty breaks/ walks as needed. I'm comfortable administering medications as prescribed and understand that every dog come with their own routine and special needs.
“If I could give Raquel more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! She far exceeded our expectations in every way. She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs while we were away for almost two weeks. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, organized, communicative, flexible, and so sweet and kind. Before and throughout our trip, she asked thoughtful questions to make sure she fully understood our dogs’ routines and care needs, and she did an amazing job keeping them on their normal schedule. She took exceptional care of our dogs, including one with multiple medications and special care needs, and kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also took great care of our home, leaving everything neat and tidy when we returned. Most importantly, it was obvious how much she genuinely cared about our dogs. We’ve used many pet sitters over the years, and Raquel has quickly become our favorite. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, flexible, and genuinely caring pet sitter!!”
“Sofia is absolutely fantastic. This was the first time I used someone on Rover and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease while I was on vacation. Her love for animals shined through the moment she met my foster cats and I could feel her love for them in every message and photo. I got lots of photos of her cuddling with them, giving them attention and being near them. They opened up to her immediately and as a pet (foster) parent, there’s no better feeling. I will absolutely message Sofia again in the future if I ever need a pet sitter, and I will be recommending her to anyone who says they want an attentive pet sitter!!!”
“Emelyn is the best! The house was left exactly as it was when we left for our trip. Our dog ate all his meals during her stay, which is huge because he usually hunger strikes when we’re not around. We could tell our boy was very comfortable with Emelyn. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years—whether in my home or theirs. Dogs are such fun, always ready to play, and both my children and I love spending time with them. They truly bring so much joy to our days! I have a flexible job and check in a few times a day. I also work from home some days, so there’s always an adult home for TLC and potty breaks. I now live in a pet-friendly Townhome that offers plenty of comfort and care for your furry friend. While I don’t have a backyard, my dog Onyx and I enjoy daily walks and outdoor time on nearby dog park. We look forward to giving your pet lots of love, playtime, and a cozy stay!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clarks Gap
Zhanna is absolutely Amazing with our German shepherd. She knows how to not only take good care of her but took such good care of our home. She pays attention to detail and send us photos and updates while we were gone making us know she was taking care of! I came home to a relaxed dog which makes every vacation that much more enjoyable. Thank you Zhanna! We can’t wait to see you next time!
I highly recommend Braylee as a dog and house sitter. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsibility, and care throughout her stay. She provided regular photo updates, maintained the home meticulously (including washing her linens and running the dishwasher), as well as watering plants and collecting mail. Most importantly, my dogs were calm, comfortable, and clearly well‑cared‑for. When they weren’t happy in their beds at night she let them sleep with her, their favorite thing to do! I returned to two very content pups which never happens after a trip to the kennel. Braylee is trustworthy, attentive, and goes well beyond expectations. I will gladly book her again.
Suyen is wonderful. Our two dogs really liked her from our initial meet and greet through her stay with them. She has a very calming demeanor which is good as we have a two year old female GSD who is pretty high energy. Suyen played ball with her several times as well as lots of cuddle time with our other dog as that is his preferred activity. Suyen also took really good care of our home while we were away and it was a delight to come home to two happy dogs and a the house looking even better than we had left. We would be delighted to have her stay with dogs/ home again.
Megan did an awesome job looking after my two sweet kitties! She provided timely updates with pictures and I could tell that she was genuinely happy to be spending time with them! When I returned, the house was super neat and tidy just as I left it. I would gladly have her watch my kitties again!
Great! Nina was exceptional at stepping in for a last minute save. She made me feel comfortable right away staying with my dogs, and took great care of them. I had daily updates, she asked questions to check on things, and provided pictures. My dogs were super happy when we came back. One dog seemed to maybe miss her and sat by the door? She had a friend stay with her who was also very nice. I would use her help again in a heartbeat.

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 Clarks Gap 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 Clarks Gap 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 Clarks Gap 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.
