About: Hello! I’m Kimberley… I have an English cream golden retriever and a cat… I’ve had animals my whole life and now that I’m an empty nester I have the time to help you! I would love to meet you and your furry family member! I have flexibility in my day and can work around your needs. I’m happy to stay at your home if it’s easier while you travel, pop by in the day and let your furry family member out to use the bathroom, and just spend some time giving them attention. I’m happy to come to you as it’s usually easier for your pet to stay in their home… Or I’m happy to bring them to my house! My dog is a golden retriever, so he’s very friendly and very loving! My cat has been around dogs, his whole life and he is very comfortable with them.
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. Currently, my husband and I have three cats and two pittie mix dogs. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes and happy to give medicine as needed. At home I’m the nail trimmer, bath giver, treat smuggler, and all around favorite human! Or at least I like to think so! I’m currently looking for my next career move so I have more open availability than most. I do have five animals of my own, so their schedule is taken into consideration when I am accepting jobs on here. While I’m at your home, I’ll follow your instructions for care to the T! I’m very particular with my own animals, so I will be just as careful with yours. I’m aware of how sneaky some pets can be with doors and I have become a ninja getting in and out of my own home as to not let a critter slip out into the garage or out into the yard.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises
“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was very thoughtful and communicated well while I was away. She kept the house tidy and the dogs seemed happy when I returned. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Amara was amazing!! I have two dogs & one is a Beagle. Needles to say he is A LOT at times …. Think Elton John level dramatics. Amara catered to his inner diva & got his stamp of approval. She sent pics & kept me updated. She even stayed longer bc my plans went overtime. I’ve already booked her again”
“Everything seemed to go great. Very quick responses. House was even cleaner than we left it. My dogs seemed to really like her, and they seemed completely happy and stress free when we arrived home.”
“We needed someone to house/dog sit while we were out of town for a week. Jonathan was great! We could tell the dogs got lots of long walks and plenty of attention. We would definitely rebook him!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I take pride in my ability to communicate and treat other people as well as animals with mutual respect. ✝️💪🏼 I am currently a full time student for nursing. I have class Monday-Friday but should be available later in the afternoon/evening. We will just have to communicate which is fine. I also go to the gym and to church on Sundays ✝️💪🏼. I have pets that are indoor and I let them out to play outside in a fenced in back yard. I also walk my pets to help them with their health and mine as well as getting rid of some built up energy that they may have.

Jennifer is fantastic! She took wonderful care of our mini dachshund and even changed the water for our bird. She was an in-home sitter for us for 9 days and was the perfect companion and guest. She even brought in the mail for us. Jennifer isn’t just responsible and professional, but she’s sweet and has a great sense of humor. I very highly recommend her!!!
We are very pleased with Audra's services while pet/house sitting our 2 cats, Cry Baby and Rachel. She was very responsive to all texts from this anxious kitty Mama. She was patient with me during my many check ins and provided me with unprompted updates and pictures. This was the first time for us to leave the cats since we have had them and was not sure how they would be with a stranger. Audra did make 2 visits to our home before we left to get to know us, the cats, our house, and routines for the cats. The house was as clean and tidy on our return as it was when we left. We will definitely use Audra 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!

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 Duncan 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 Duncan 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.
Tip: 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 Duncan 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.
