“We went out of the country for 8 days and asked Brittany to house sit and watch our two big dogs and she was very reliable. She sent us daily updates and let us know how the dogs were doing/asking if anything else needed to be done for them. She also left the house in great shape when we got home. It was a big relief having her there since we did not have service for a lot of the trip.”
“It’s always hard leaving your dogs behind and even harder to find someone loving and responsible. Kimberly exceeded our expectations in every way. She was communicating with us the entire time about our dogs, sending pics and updates! Kimberly was extremely respectful of our home and we can’t wait to use her again!”
“If you are looking for a house/pet sitter who is conscientious, deeply compassionate, and thoroughly professional, look no further than Kimberly. She treated our home with the utmost respect and went above and beyond to keep our baby girl Abby Rose safe, loved, and entertained. The proactive communication and daily photo updates were wonderful and allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We will definitely be booking again with Kimberly for our next vacay!”
“Sally was truly incredible, 1000000/10 would recommend. This was our first time leaving our honey with a sitter and Sally put our worries to rest. From the day we met her for a meet-and-greet to the moment we got home from our long weekend away, she exceeded expectations. Sally sent frequent and adorable pictures, updated us multiple times a day, and honestly left our house cleaner than we did! Izzy loves her new best friend and we are loyal customers until the end of time.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was really little from them being born to them being seniors. I currently do work in a kennel so I have been with all types of dogs from really sweet puppies to pretty spicy adult dogs even some senior ones. I also have experience with dogs that have to have medication in the morning or are you at night and dog that are deaf and blind. I truly love any dog so it’s very hard for one to scare me away. so because I do work at a dog kennel I have been around dogs as small as 5 pounds all the way up to dogs that are 160 pounds. Monday, Wednesday- Friday I am available after 3pm but Tuesdays, Saturday, & Sunday I am available all day long for walks, house sitting, & I can also offer some grooming services like Bath, Nails, Paw Pads, and Desheds. So I do work at the dog kennel part-time. I’ll mostly be available on the weekends all day Saturday, Sundays, Tuesday. I’ll also be will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights though So if you would have me over at your place to watch your dogs, I tried to make sure I have a very open communication with my customers. That way they know that what is going on with their dogs that way if there’s any problems, they are notified right away. I do like sending photos out throughout the day. That way you get to see them enjoying their time playing around that way you know what they’re up to in their day.
“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”

“Chloe did such a great job with our pup! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and she was so accommodating on such short notice! She sent lots of pictures and updates, it was clear he was loved and in good hands. I would highly recommend and will be using her in the future!”
“Irma was great with our kitties. We needed someone last minute, and our little boy Dexter was having some health issues so we were very nervous. Irma took very good care of them while we were gone and was ready to take Dexter to the vet if he needed to be taken. She was very good about giving him his medicine and tracking his food intake and everything. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a dog named Rocco and two cats, Snapshot and Misty. They were a big part of my family and gave me a genuine appreciation for the companionship, personality, and love that pets bring into our lives. Today, I’m lucky to have two cats of my own, Oreo and Nutterbutter. 🐱❤️ Having pets throughout my life has given me plenty of experience understanding that every animal is different. Some are playful and energetic, some love cuddles and attention, while others are a little more independent and need time to warm up. When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’ll make sure they receive the attention, affection, food, exercise, playtime, and care they need while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dogwood Acres
Nat was truly awesome. She gave us frequent updates of our animals - and always asked how we preferred our indoor/outdoor cat. She stayed over for a few nights to watch the animals and left it cleaner than she arrived (despite having a housekeeper). We plan to use Nat in the future and she’s a huge stress relief while you’re traveling.
Tiffanie is the definition of a rockstar Rover! She took such amazing care of our babies and snuggled and loved on them like we would. She sent plenty of videos and pictures and we couldn’t recommend her enough! Truly the best, our puppies adored her and were in such great spirits when we came home! Thank you, Tiffanie!! ❤️❤️❤️
There are not enough words to brag about Esther. She took the most incredible care of our Lola and condo while we were on vacation. She sent plenty of pictures and updates to help us miss our baby a little less. It was obvious the minute we walked inside how much love and care Lola received while we were gone. She left our condo impeccable with a sweet little note welcoming us home and chocolates to go with. I cannot recommend Esther enough!! Lola misses her already 🐶🤍

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 Dogwood Acres 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 Dogwood Acres 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 Dogwood Acres 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 .

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.
