“Chesnie was a great sitter and I feel lucky to have found her! She was fantastic at communicating with me about my dog re updates/pics/videos. She also was proactive in communicating her plans and when she would be away from the house. She left the house in good condition and I can tell my dog was well cared for. I also had an issue with my return travel and she was able to come back to take care of him, even though that wasn’t part of our original plan. I would definitely recommend Chesnie to other pet owners and I hope to have her again in the future! Thank you Chesnie!”

About: My boyfriend and I work from home, so we'll be home with your pup all day. Depending on weather, I can take your and my dog out for walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I'm usually available from the morning to the evening during the week and sometimes on the weekend too. Either my boyfriend or I will always be home with your pup. I have a super friendly and playful pittie named River who would love to hang out with another dog. Her favorite time in life at the dog park, so she'd love to have a friend at our place. We also have a doggie door to our back patio so they can go outside whenever they want. We both work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I walk my dog in the morning and at night and we regularly go to dog parks. I'm usually up early and have a fairly flexible schedule. Grew up in New Mexico, went to UChicago for college, lived in NYC and Austin, but now call Tucson home. I work from home as a market research consultant. We have a small fenced in back patio with a doggie door. We walk in the morning and at night. My dog is super dog friendly and would love some company!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drexel Heights
Pamela is a saint! ...Trustworthy, compassionate/patient, and WORTH IT! My dog doesn’t make friends easily. Pamela listened to and implemented ALL the little things that made our 17yr old male dog relax at home with his regular routine for 9 days without his family! He’s gradually losing his eyesight/hearing and takes medication for his joints to reduce inflammation. I had ring cameras in the home and saw the love and patience all day and night. We walked into a clean home with our old soul at ease and extremely happy! She even got our dog to make an extra friend to keep him company per my request! I actually look forward to not being scared to leave for a night or two in the future knowing how well taken care of he will be:) Pamela, thank you for spending every night with Theodore and for texting me pictures/communicating with me each time I reached out! We are forever grateful for you because we booked you last minute and it worked out so well!

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 Drexel Heights 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 Drexel Heights 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 Drexel Heights 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
