“Nick is truly the best! Nick is a great guy and so trustworthy. We left our yellow lab, Bodi with Nick for 5 days and came back to a spotless house and a well taken care of dog. Nick was thoughtful enough to give us daily updates on how things were going along with pictures. He is truly a natural with dogs and can tell how much he loves animals, our Bodi took to him right away. Definitely will be requesting Nick for future dog care and highly recommend him. Nick is a true gem who went above and beyond without being asked.”

“This was our first time using Rover and having Marissa house sit. She was wonderful, responsive, asking good questions and just taking care of everything beautifully. Came home after a week to a happy dog and home.”


“Alexia was amazing! She stayed this weekend with the animals, and did a meet and greet before hand to meet us and the animals. We received many pictures throughout the weekend of our fur babies, everyone seemed very happy, and she left the house just as clean as it was when she got there.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs for four years now, working at various shelters and boarding/daycare facilities! Through this experience, I have worked with a variety of dog breeds, ages, and medical conditions! I am a certified dog trainer through CATCH Canine Academy and am also certified in pet CPR and first aid! I am currently in college studying Animal Science at MSU and I work full time as a dog trainer. I have open spaces in evenings and mornings that I am looking forward to filling with taking care of your furry family members! I am more than happy to follow any guides you have for your pets! I am experienced in providing individualized care to many pets and am prepared to handle almost anything! This includes administering medications, and any quirky personality traits your pet has!
“If I could give Malena 10 stars, I would! We had to leave our "quirky" senior dog with medical needs during a two week trip we had planned overseas. She got quite sick two years ago and we thought the chances she would still be with us this year were unfortunately pretty slim, so we went ahead and booked our trip. She fooled us and is doing quite well for a blind, almost-deaf, diabetic dog! :) Malena stayed at our house for two weeks and didn't blink an eye at Daisy's quirks or special needs. It is hard to explain these quirks without sounding like we are crazy dog owners (which maybe we are), but Malena was very receptive when we explained and was interested in how Daisy likes to do things to make sure she was comfortable. Malena was a life saver and really gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip. She sent updates and Daisy's tail was always up in the pictures (a very good sign). Everything seemed to go amazingly well!! When we got home, Daisy was so calm and relaxed...almost like we were hardly gone...and the house looked great! Also, our flight was delayed due to weather and Malena went out of her way to make sure Daisy was set until we got home. I have zero complaints and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy this trip over a year in the making without stressing about how Daisy was doing! We would love to have Malena back to watch Daisy whenever she is available!!!”

“Christina is extremely friendly and professional. Our animals loved her. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter while vacationing. Thank you Christina 🫶”


“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”

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 Dansville 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 Dansville 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 Dansville 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!

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.
