“Megan is friendly and reliable. She communicates well and asked questions that helped her better understand our pups. We have a tough bunch, with 2 GS puppies. She did a good job with them.”
“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Amanda was an awesome sitter. She was prompt and very kind. I have 5 dogs, one being a 16 week puppy and she took great care of them! She sent me pictures and kept in touch with me during the stay. I definitely will have sit again. She is a kind-sweet hearted person and I have confidence and trust in her. Thanks again Amanda!”
“I was so impressed with Audrey's flexibility, and relaxed attitude while taking such good care of Marco and Mia in my home. When something came up that needed special attention, she was on the solution quickly, which I appreciated immensely. I willdefinitely ask her to care for M&M again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years for family, friends, and neighbors. I provide dependable care and tailor to each pet’s needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like my own and always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands and having fun! I recently just graduated college and am home for the foreseeable future so I’m extremely flexible and can work around your schedule! I’m flexible during daytime hours and overnight shifts. I treat everybody’s home with the same respect I want my home to be treated with, I make sure to be diligent about rules and expectations with the animals, and I will be sure to send messages and pictures to the owner.
“Tricia’s kindness and willingness to chat and send photos of my furkids was so appreciated! She went above and beyond and scooped Kriti’s litter box before she left without me asking. She followed my instructions and the furkids looked happy when I got home. Thanks Tricia!”
“Kaleigh was a perfect sitter! She loves Doughboy as much as I do and gave him a great week with her. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week. We will definitely use her again!”
“Natalie was great with our pup Finn. He ended up having a double ear infection and Natalie had no problem with administering his ear drops. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend Natalie and we have already booked her again!”

“Sydney was great with Klaus. She was very good with communication and handled tracking down the dreaded low battery smoke detector. We would definitely use her again.”
“Isabella was amazing!!! She was so sweet and my animals took to her right away. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and the cats usually hide when people come over but after the first hour she was there I got a picture of the cats hanging out which says a lot! She sent pictures of everyone and kept me updated on when she was leaving and coming back. I highly recommend her!!! Her love for animals shows so much and coming from a crazy dog mom I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kristin was wonderful. She took excellent care of Baxter. They took lots of walks. She went above and beyond. Everything was neat and clean when I got home. She's new to Rover and was perfect. I will definitely use her again.”
“We recently relocated to Pittsburgh and were anxious about finding someone trustworthy to care for both our home and our beloved bulldog while we were away. In the past, we always relied on family, so entrusting someone new felt daunting — until we met James. From the very beginning, James was outstanding. He was highly responsive, attentive, and immediately put us at ease. Our bulldog is famously stubborn and full of sass, but James handled her with patience, confidence, and genuine care. Throughout our time away, he kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which brought us so much peace of mind. Not only did he care for our dog like she was his own, but he also treated our home with respect and professionalism. We returned to find everything exactly as we left it — happy pup, tidy home, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend James highly enough. His service exceeded our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful to have found him through Rover. We’ll absolutely be calling on him again!”
“Sydney is terrific! Great communication, attentive, responsible. She has stayed in our home with our one pup. She takes great care of both pup and home. We have a sense of peace knowing she’s there.”
“Elaine was wonderful with our last minute request and being willing to stay with our girls. Our eldest is a senior with storm anxiety and trouble walking, Elaine was so patient and kind with her. Thank you, Elaine! We appreciate you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Courtney 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 Courtney 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 Courtney 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
