“Caitlin was absolutely amazing with Ellie and Eva. She provided updates, took them on walks and adventures, and I had no qualms about her staying in my house while I was three time zones away. She also took great care of my place and when I returned it looked like no one had even stayed there. I can't recommend her highly enough! I will definitely be using her again when I travel.”
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs! As a proud golden retriever owner, I understand that our pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. ❤️ Along with caring for my own dog, I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, providing everything from daily walks, feeding, and playtime to more specialized care. I also have hands-on experience caring for sick dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications, giving injections, and monitoring their health and comfort. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and following each pet’s individual care routine. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone else with your furry family member, especially when they require extra attention. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup needs extra medical attention, plenty of playtime, or just someone to snuggle with, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own! 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to offer pet care throughout the week, including weekends! Whether you need someone to stop by while you’re at work, take your pup for a walk, or stay overnight while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every household has a different routine, and I’m always willing to coordinate schedules to find what works best for you and your pets! I believe the best pet care starts with understanding each animal’s personality, boundaries, and daily routine. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn about their habits, any behavioral concerns, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will always keep you updated! This is very important to me, as I’d want my dog and I to be treated the same. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of our surroundings, and avoiding potentially unsafe situations. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’m mindful of securing doors, following household instructions, and keeping your pet’s environment clean and comfortable. Communication is also important to me! I’ll keep you informed with updates and photos, and I’ll never hesitate to reach out if I notice something unusual or have a question about your pet’s care.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have years of hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including seniors, anxious pets, and animals with disabilities or medical conditions. Have a pet other than a dog or cat? Send me a message! Chances are, I have experience with them. I’ve also volunteered at a wildlife rescue caring for a wide variety of wildlife. I’m experienced with oral medications, insulin injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and I have a disabled cat of my own. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine closely. I’ll also tidy up after your pets, sweep or vacuum as needed, bring in mail, put out the trash, and even care for your houseplants! Looking for someone who will care for your pets and home like they’re my own? Send me a message. I’d love to meet them! I don’t work a full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a homebody, so I don’t have a busy schedule either. I try to give your pets the calmest and happiest experience while you’re not home. My goal is to help them forget you’re gone, by following the same routine they are used to and giving them all the love, attention and playtime they need. I’m also judgement free and will follow your house rules, religious or otherwise. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.

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 Cranesville 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 Cranesville 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 Cranesville 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.
