“Valda did a great job with our 1.5yr old German shepherd! She was very responsive and sent update pictures as well. Also, she brought her dog champagne to visit, which helped our dog feel even more comfortable with her!! The house was nice and tidy when we got back too!”
“Pond did a good job housesitting our older dog. They were very responsive and sent updates and photos. They followed our directions for walking and feeding. I would use Pond again.”
“Hannah and her husband were amazing!! They kept me super informed about everything that was going on while I was away. I could tell that Raya was well taken care for and felt so comfortable that she was in their hands. They also kept our house tidy and were great guests. Thanks guys!”
“Grace took care of my dog, Penny, while I was visiting Austin for a wedding. Penny has separation anxiety and I needed someone to take care of her at the hotel room. This was our first experience with Rover and it was great! Grace was very kind and attentive, she provided me with frequent updates and pictures. Penny had a great time and I was able to enjoy the event knowing that she was being taken care of.”
“I am beyond grateful to have found Lauren as my pet sitter! Moving to Austin recently, I was feeling a little nervous about finding someone I could trust with my three fur babies—two dogs and a cat—but Lauren immediately put my mind at ease. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and showed so much love to each of them, which was so important to me. Throughout my time away, Lauren kept me updated with adorable pictures and messages, which really made me feel connected to my pets and reassured me that they were in great hands. She was also very respectful of my home, ensuring everything was just as I left it. Lauren’s warm, caring nature and professionalism truly made this experience stress-free, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future. If you're looking for a reliable and loving sitter for your pets, I can't recommend Lauren enough!”
“Juan has housesat for our dog a couple of times now, and does a wonderful job. Our dog is excitable and gets anxious, but he’s always happy and relaxed with Juan. Juan always sends updates and photos and leaves our house in great shape. We would highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve always had pets since my first dog that we got when I was 1 then later when I was 6 my first cat and since then I’ve had 2 more dogs and 2 more cats that I’ve looked after for years. I’ve also dog sat for my wonderful neighbors who have 2 medium sized dogs for 2 years now. I usually will go and visit your pets and stay for 1-2 hours just to make sure everything is good then go back home and come back when the next check in is I make sure to meet you and your furry baby ahead of time and get a feel for your pet and home as I always prioritize your pets health and comfort over anything
“Jessica stayed in our house and watched our dog while we were out of town for 5 days. Our dog is generally very anxious and does not like "strangers" in our house, so we were pleasantly surprised that she walked right up to Jessica and allowed her to pet her right away. It was magic! While we were away, Jessica did a great job of communicating with us and sending pictures and updates. When we returned home, our house was exactly the way we left it and our dog was happy. We would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely be asking her to help again in the future when we go out of town.”
“Jeremy was excellent with our three dogs over the holiday weekend. Despite the bad weather, they got plenty of exercise, and the house and yard were very clean when we returned. We would definitely have Jeremy back to watch our dogs.”
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, and it was clear that Onyx was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated all the love and attention she gave him. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you so much, Nancy!”
“Jess is amazing! From coaxing our picky geriatric cat to eat to dealing with a high energy dog to administering insulin to a newly diabetic cat she provides peace of mind your furry family is well taken care of when you are away from home.”
“Chance is the perfect pup and house sitter. We know Colby had a great time and will be well taken care of and our house is always perfect when we get back home. Super grateful for him!”
“Dorian was terrific. From the moment we met him we felt confident that our kitty and our home would be well taken care of. He did not disappoint. We would gladly have him stay anytime we are away.”

Lauren is such a good find to take care of my dog. My dog is anxious around new people and she went slow with him, respecting his boundaries while still loving on him and taking care of him. Grover had a great weekend and I didn’t have to worry while out of town.
Lana did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Khushi! I could tell Khushi was very happy and comfortable with her and truly enjoyed their time together. Lana made sure she was fed on time, gave her plenty of attention, and took great care of all her needs. She was also incredibly thoughtful and considerate when we unexpectedly had an AC leak in our home after we left, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Khushi and our home were in such caring and responsible hands. I would absolutely recommend Lana to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter. I would love to have her take care of Khushi again in the future. She’s amazing! ❤️🐱
Raven is **literally the BEST dog sitter ever**, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have found her\! 🐾❤️ Leaving her an amazing review makes me a little nervous because, selfishly, I don’t want her to become *too* booked for our pups 😂\. But when it comes to four--legged family members, they ALL deserve a little bit of Raven in their lives\! She is caring, trustworthy, attentive, and treats our dogs like they’re her own\. We have complete peace of mind whenever they’re with her, and that is absolutely priceless\. Our pups love her, and honestly, so do we\! If you’re lucky enough to find availability with Raven, **BOOK HER\!** Your fur babies will thank you\. 🐶💕
Sophia kept Loki company while I was gone! I had asked for pics/ an update once a day and only got them a couple times while I was gone, but she was very responsive when I would text her, even brought a package in from my mail room, and overall Loki seems in to be happy! She also saved me in a pinch and was able to meet me so last minute after my last sitter cancelled two days before my trip!
Amanda is so sweet and was an amazing sitter for my cat, Cleo. She gave wonderful care to my very spoiled girl, followed every instruction, sent the best updates and kept my place clean. Cleo looked so comfortable and happy with her in every photo I received. I’m so thankful! Will be booking again. ❤️
Valentina was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and well loved. She was kind, communicative, and reliable throughout our trip. We came home to very happy dogs, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. We would absolutely book with Valentina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
We recently had Jacob stay with our dog and it was a 10/10 experience from start to finish. His communication was top-notch and he updated us throughout with photos of her and general updates. Jacob went the extra mile in ways that really showed how much he cares about the dogs in his care!! We are so grateful to have found him and will 100% be returning customers!

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 Daffan 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 Daffan 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 Daffan 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.
