“Adam was amazing—and amazing is still an understatement of how incredible he was. He watched our two standard poodles for ten days while we were on vacation. His level of caring, attention, and love were unmatched in anyone we’ve ever had care for our dogs—and frankly, I doubt anyone could top it. We genuinely cannot praise him enough. One of our dogs had an abscess on her tail that had to be drained the day before we left, and Adam treated it and cared for it the whole time. He went above and beyond in every aspect of care. We can’t praise Adam enough. When you leave your pets with someone, in terms of anxiety, it’s like leaving your children with someone, and Adam absolutely understands this and acts accordingly. We can’t express our gratitude enough, and obviously we can’t recommend him enough. You will not find anyone better to care for your pets. You just won’t. He’ll be our number one go-to from now on. On a selfish level, I know that if the world knew about Adam, he’d be booked solid, which would make it more difficult for us to get him in the future. But he deserves the praise, and in the future, we’ll plan our activities/trips just to make sure we can get him—he’s that good.”
About: I work at four paws! I love pets all shapes and sizes, and have training with all kinds of breeds. I understand anxious pets and want to be able to provide them comfort and support at home when a facility isn’t always an option. I work at four paws with a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available for drop ins, spending nights, walks, and more. I’m good at time management and am more than willing to accommodate scheduling. My dogs are very scheduled, they’re all crate trained and in my spare time I like to try to teach them new tricks. I am open minded to trying new techniques for new clients, I love to learn and experience.
“Nikki was amazing. Normally we use friends or family to watch our beloved fur babies and house, but that has not worked out in three years. Finally after hesitantly going to a sitting service like Rover, we THANKFULLY came across Nikki. We cannot say enough good things! Firstly, and most important, she loved our pets, took great care of them, showered them with the love and affection we would. We have 4 cats and a dog, one of our cats takes multiple meds in multiple forms, she never skipped a beat with administering any of it. We received constant updates, pics and videos and communication from her. She was very quick to respond if we messaged her. She took wonderful care of our home and flowers. We came home from vacation to a clean and tidy house. Our pets were happy. We will definitely reach out to her again when we plan our next trip!!!!! Thank you Nikki!!!!!!”
About: I’ve baby sat dogs since 12, I love animals and my family has had a dog since I was five. I trained our family beagle and while she has passed away she really gave me a love for dogs and all other animals. I wish I could really get my own dog but I don’t have the living situation right now. I would love to meet and take care of your animal. I’m currently working part time usually 27-30 hours a week. I’ll have time every day to check on and walk/spend at least an hour or two with your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can work to accommodate your pet. I cannot have pets at my current place but I am happy to walk or babysit your pet from your place. I know some great dog parks and would love to take your pet out for some fun.
“Savanah was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about animals. She was extremely friendly and my dog loved her. She even helped us with some training tips. She was a very accommodating with our schedule overall 10 out of 10 very nice lady.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Declo 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 Declo 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 Declo 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
