“We loved Sally! I felt very at ease leaving our house and fur babies, knowing she would be there. She send photos and updates every day, which goes a LONG way. She stayed at our house during some severe weather and she was so kind to close up our patio umbrella and check for fallen limbs. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness. We’ll definitely book her again for future sitter needs. Thank you, Sally!!!”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of experience caring for multiple pets, I bring a unique level of knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. As a recent graduate of an accredited veterinary school and an experienced animal shelter volunteer, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pets will receive attentive, loving care from someone who truly understands how much they mean to your family. I currently have a flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the day and night to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I have temporarily stepped away from in-clinic employment as I prepare for my veterinary licensing exam, allowing me to dedicate my time and attention to pet sitting and ensuring your pets receive consistent, loving care. My home is well-equipped to provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for overnight and in-home pet sitting. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, as well as two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy socializing. A kennel is available for small to medium-sized dogs when needed, and the home’s hardwood floors make cleanup easier in the event of occasional potty accidents. Pets are also welcome on the furniture, so they can relax and feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior and chronically ill pets, including administering medications as needed. I understand that every pet has unique routines and needs, and I am committed to providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care throughout their stay.
“We love Katrina!!! I was really nervous about using rover and getting a sitter because my senior dogs had recently been through a lot of transitions and didn't really have a schedule and routine set in yet. Katrina went above and beyond. She met with us beforehand to help my dogs feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My pups always looked happy and were having fun, or being comfortable. She knew we were all still adjusting and gave me advice and helpful tips based on her years of experience to help me give them the best care. She left the sweetest memorables for us too. I'm pretty sure when I walked in, my pups were disappointed that it wasn't Miss Katrina. They gave me quick kisses and then went looking for her lol. Katrina made the whole experience so much more than I was ever expecting, and made me feel comfortable about going away more and for longer stays. We will definitely use her services again. Her availability schedule will be the first thing I check when I get ready for another trip.”
“They did the job taken care of my dog. I left my house spotless and my dogs were happy. I will definitely use them again. They are five star in my book. A really nice home and star linens and towels.”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 14 and they’ve want me to walk, babysit and I was there for them I don’t currently work right now so a typical day for me is basically staying at the house all day or walking my 2 dogs when needed I’m mostly at home all day I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that get along with other dogs to keep your fur baby entertained, I also live in a neighborhood so I would walk your fur baby
About: I have a profound love for all animals. I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own, and I will treat all animals with as much love as I do my own. I am a stay at home mom with one child. I have all day to devote to playing and watching after every dog. I can tend to any needs that the dog may have. I have experience giving elderly dogs medication and being very attentive. I’m also very patient and do well with young and hyper pups! I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of land for pups to run and play! We have a loving and cozy home that dogs love to sleep in.
“Jasmyne was extremely attentive to my pets during her stay! She followed my written wishes and instructions well and left my home in the same condition she found it. My dogs loved her presence while we were away from home and anytime she needed to leave the house she communicated well which I personally enjoyed! I loved not having to worry about my pets while I was in the hospital. Jasmyne also did a complimentary meet and greet before I needed her to stay so my pets would know her and her scent. Overall I’d recommend her to anyone. I can’t wait to use her in the future.”
“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”
“Tay was able to watch my dogs for the weekend In my home and house-sat for 2 nights. From the first time I reached out to her to the last day she was in my home, she was so responsive and very friendly. She provided updates and sent photos of my pups daily. She also left my house just as I left it!! Definitely will re-book with her if she has the availability, no complaints all!!!”
“They were fantastic! They took care of our baby who is a special-needs dog and made sure he was taking care of and he fell in love with them! In fact, it seems like he wanted to keep them and not us! Lol thank you so much! That’s what we wanted; someone to love our baby like we love on him.”
About: I'm great with dogs I have 4 of my own and love them very much. I offer sitting and walking I have more experience with large dogs but I can also care for small dogs. My schedule is open but I prefer to receive jobs either 1 day earlier or same day after 3:00 pm. I've had 10 years of experience taking care of dogs both large and small so rest assured your sweet dogs will be in good hands My schedule is open for any jobs available. Any time you need me to sit for your dog I'm available with little exceptions to that. I can walk, feed, and care for your dogs to my best ability I have my own leash if your dog doesn't already have one.
“Greer stayed at our house for a week and a half while we were on vacation with our sweet pup. She sent lots of picture and updates and we could tell that our pup was having a great time with her. The house was in perfect shape when we got home too. I highly recommend Greer and we will certainly be reaching out to her the next time we are out of town. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and currently care for my own large-breed dog, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I can handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, basic routines, medications if instructions are provided, and giving your pet attention while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of patience, structure, and respecting each dog’s individual personality. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in care throughout the week. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets have fresh water and are comfortable while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect every pet’s normal routine. During drop-ins, I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are handled properly, and pets get the attention and care they need. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs and will always prioritize safety.
“Morgan was awesome! She was so sweet and easy going. We ended up being gone longer than expected and she stayed longer than she had too and it was so much appreciated. Our doxies loved her and even whined when she left. We will definitely use Morgan again!!”
About: I've had a variety of pets over the years! Currently I have three cats, and one snake. I am well versed in caring for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and isopods. I'm better with animals than I am humans a lot of the time hahaha. I also have two kids, one just left for college, and the other is 13. Currently I have a part-time job as a preschool teacher. Being part time leaves me with a lot of flexibility for care schedules. I will do my best to make sure that I meet all scheduling needs of each client, and openly communicate any conflict in advance. I care for animals however they need. Each animal is an individual and deserves to be treated as such. It's important to me to listen, and follow directions provided, as well as assessing each situation and the animal. My goal is to make sure that I am giving each pet the proper care. That can only happen with open communication with the pet parents.
About: My sister and I raised a litter of kittens when we were younger. I learned all about responsibility and how to handle animals early on. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on most days of the week and weekends. I am great with routines, cleanliness, and playtime. If you have any requests and details, like food and litter box specifics, toys, and schedules, I will gladly take notes.
“This was our second time using Tracy and he was just as fantastic this time. We had an overnight trip and needed someone to stay in our home with our dog and two cats and he kept us updated and the pets were happy and safe with him there. I would definitely book Tracy again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized, reliable care I give to every pet. I focus on keeping your cat or dog comfortable in their own home, which reduces stress and keeps their routine consistent. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer frequent check-ins, great communication, and real-time updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and closer attention. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and I always treat your home with respect and care. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance school and work with a schedule that’s still very flexible. I’m able to plan my work shifts and classes around the visits I book, which lets me give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I keep my calendar organized so I never overbook myself, and I make sure I have plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so your pets get the best care while you’re away. I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for in their own familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, and feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always take time to bond with your pet at their pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I refresh water, deep-clean litter boxes when needed, tidy up any messes, and make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will update you regularly with pictures and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to give your pet comfort and consistency while giving you peace of mind.
About: I love making sure pups of all ages are well taken care of. I have always been great with walks, baths, and tiring them out for when you get home. I am a working pet auntie so I know how hard it is to tire out babies after working all day or needs a break on a weekend. I am available all day on national holidays and weekends with enough notice. While out of the home, I am always very vigilant and am very great about keeping an eye on your baby and the surroundings. I have a pup of my own if your baby ever needs some companionship.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dosterville
Katrina was absolutely wonderful with our two French Bulldogs! She took such great care of them during their day sit, kept us updated throughout the day, and made sure they got plenty of love, attention, and snuggles. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our babies were in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Katrina with our pups again. Highly recommend!
Kacey was absolutely wonderful! She was timely with her response and very accomodsting in a last minute booking. She sent pics, videos, and went above and beyond without me even asking. I was worried to try this app for the first time bc my Lily means the world to me. But Kacey gave me the best first experience and I would recommend anyone to use her. I will definitely use 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 Dosterville 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 Dosterville 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 Dosterville 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.
