“Kaitlyn did an excellent job watching our dog Lula! She was a great communicator, prompt and let me know what to expect each step of the way as this was my first time using Rover. Our communications were easy, she sent pics and was very professional. Our house was left spotless and our puppy was happy! Would definitely love to use her again when we travel!”
“Natalia was incredible! She took amazing overnight care of our rescue pup with separation anxiety. Throughout the booking process and the period our dog was in Natalia’s care, she was warm, responsive, and accommodating. I can’t recommend Natalia enough!!”
“This was the first time Kat watched our 3 guys, she was wonderful. I would receive a few pictures every day so I could see how well my dogs were doing. She was at our place during Hurricane Ida and while we did not lose power we did lose water. She had to deal with all of this until my husband left our vacation early to deal with the fallout of the storm. Through all of that everyone at the house were safe and healthy. The next time I need someone to watch the guys I will be contacting Kat.”
“Crystal was awesome with our little feline critter, Lola, when she cat/house sat for us recently. She kept us updated with photos & helped Lola emotionally while we traveled. So lovely to be able to have a trusted sitter … peace of mind embodied in a very kind animal loving pet sitter. Thanks Crystal! Hope you’re still available for when we travel again.”
About: Dogs are family, and that is how I treat every visit. I have spent 12 years caring for my family dog and now my own, along with regular walks, drop-ins, and overnight care for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I am comfortable with dogs of every size. Millie, the Bernese Mountain Dog in my photos, is my boyfriend's dog and lives at his house, but I walk and care for her often. At over 100 pounds, so I can handle larger dogs who may pull on walls. I am experienced with administering oral medications, managing leash-reactive dogs on walks, and handling standard crate and feeding routines. I keep detailed notes on each pet's needs and quirks, and I always have your vet's information on hand in case of an emergency. You will never have to wonder how your dog is doing, because I am happy to send updates throughout a visit. I am available for early morning visits and again toward the end of the workday and into the evening, which suits pet parents who need care before or after their own workday. Midday visits may be possible with advance notice. I have some weekend availability as well; just message me and we will coordinate. Safety Your pet's safety comes first. Dogs stay leashed and harnessed any time we are outside, including in shared hallways, elevators, and lobbies, since neighbors and other dogs can appear around a corner without warning. I check the weather before every walk and adjust: short routes and shaded paths in the heat, and less time outside in the cold. Before the first visit, I make sure your vet's information, any medications, and other specifics are written down or saved in the Rover app for easy reference. We can go over detailed instructions at the meet and greet or by message beforehand. If anything seems wrong, you will hear from me immediately. Trust I work full time in HR, so confidentiality and the careful handling of sensitive information are things I take seriously. I treat your keys, door codes, and home with that same standard of care. Keys are never labeled with an address or unit number, and they are stored securely in my home when not in use. You will receive photos and an update with every visit. I never bring anyone along, and I never share photos of your pet publicly without asking first. If my plans change, you will hear about it early rather than at the last minute. Environment In your home, I stick to the areas you tell me to use and leave everything as I found it, including lights, doors, and the thermostat. I also pick up after your pet and tidy anything we have used before I leave.
“We found our perfect match on Rover to watch our Charley girl while we were away for my daughter's wedding. Susan communicates well and is very responsive. She put our anxiety at ease about leaving Charley for 4 days for the first time. She kept us informed everyday and sent pics during her stay. A huge thank you to Susan and we will be using her for all our Charley babysitting needs in the future!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! Our pets absolutely loved her, she shared plenty of photos and updates during the short stayl Couldn't ask for more and we'll definitely be using her again.”
About: A former doggie dad, I am a responsible, attentive adult who will provide top care for your family. A fenced-in yard and open space in my home are perfect for your dog to relax and have fun. Also active I will enjoy taking your dog for guided walks, runs and plenty of outdoor time. Your home or mine, I will think of your dog like they are family and will respect your privacy and provide the love and affection I would have wanted for my own dog. A teacher during the non-summer months, I am home all day and can work around your schedule to make things a good fit for you and your family. I look forward to hearing from you about making this a match.
“Andrew took very good care of my fur babies! He was courteous, caring and communicative! I had no worries with leaving Scooch and Tank in his knowledgeable care. My senior pup has mobility issues and it was great knowing he was in very good hands!”
“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
“Maria was an amazing dog sitter! She came to our house ahead of watching them to meet our pups and get information about their daily routine. When she watched the dogs, she sent daily photos and updates, providing us with ease of mind while away on our trip. We would love to have Maria back to watch our dogs in the future. :)”
“Jarris was great with our two pups. One of them stops eating when we leave and he did everything possible to make her feel comfortable. He communicated well and often about how they were doing.”
“Erin kept us informed throughout the visit. Made sure my dog had his medicine daily and stopped over mid day to be sure they had potty breaks. I didn’t get a ton of photos of the dogs, but was still aware of how they were doing.”
About: As dog parents with experience in fostering, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, and favorite things so they feel comfortable while you’re away. We understand that every dog is different, some love playtime and long walks, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. We will follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and confident that your dog is being cared for. I work a very flexible hybrid schedule, and my husband works fully remotely, so someone is always home throughout the day. Caring for our own dogs is already part of our daily routine, and we work together to provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. We believe walks and enrichment are important parts of keeping dogs happy and fulfilled. We make time for walks that let dogs set the pace and enjoy plenty of sniffing, along with enrichment activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. We also enjoy visiting local parks and fields for more exploring. At home, we have a tether anchored in the backyard for supervised outdoor time, and we will always follow your dog’s comfort level and preferences when/if you prefer for it to be used. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s needs and usual routine to make sure our schedule and activities are a good fit. Whether your pet stays in our home or I visit them in yours, their safety and comfort are always a priority. Before booking, we’ll discuss their personality, routines, and any special needs so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. For stays in our home, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog gets along with ours and make sure everyone is a good fit. We’ll discuss feeding arrangements, supervision, and any boundaries your dog needs, including having their own space to relax. Outdoor tether time is always supervised and only offered with your approval. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and home security. We’ll also go over any triggers, escape tendencies, or other concerns so I know what to watch for. You’ll receive photos and updates, and your pet will get plenty of attention, patience, and care.
“Katie is fantastic! She was great with our pups over July 4th weekend. She helped keep them relaxed and calm during way too many days in a row of fireworks. Her communication was excellent and you can tell she is a very experienced sitter. She was also flexible at the last minute when I had a change to my schedule and delayed my departure by a day. We look forward to having her watch our pups again!”
About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was 14 years old and have spent years helping care for my own pets as well as family pets. In addition to dogs, I currently care for my own cats and have experience looking after a coworker’s two long-haired cats and a friend’s two cats while they were away. I offer drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water refills, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available after 5:00 PM for visits, walks, and pet care. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to caring for your pets. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your furry family members. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I will ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and that their environment stays clean and safe. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care that both pets and owners can feel good about. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I work full time during the weekdays, but I’m available after 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate even more time to caring for pets and sticking to their normal routines. Since I’m already a pet owner myself, caring for animals is naturally part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide reliable care, communication, and plenty of affection. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all instructions exactly as given, including feeding routines, litter box or potty breaks, medication needs, and any specific care preferences. I also make sure to keep things clean and tidy, and I always double-check doors, gates, and anything needed to keep pets secure. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to learn their behavior, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re gone.
“Angelina took amazing care of Rufus and Ralph while we were away for the week! She was incredibly flexible, reliable, and communicative, sending us daily updates and photos that gave us such peace of mind while we were on vacation. It was clear that our boys were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We came home to two happy Scotties! 🐾❤️ We will absolutely book with Angelina again whenever we need a great sitter for our boys. Highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Earlington
Kat did such an amazing job taking care of our dog Asa. This was our first time using Rover as he normally stays with family but since we were away for our wedding everyone was also there. She was super responsive and sent multiple updates and pictures a day. When we got home Asa was happy and relaxed which is all we could’ve asked for. She also so generously cleaned the house and even got us a card and flowers to celebrate! The extra care and attention to not only Asa but our home also was amazing. I’d happily use Kat again and recommend to anyone needing sitting for their pets!
I cannot imagine anyone being better than Reanna was for our home and fur babies. Her communication and faithfulness were exceptional! Our animals were well taken care of and were comfortable with her. Right from the first day i felt relieved and confident that we left them in such good hands. She sent great pictures and updates. She played with them. And she handled challenges like a pro! She is my first call if I need someone 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 Earlington 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 Earlington 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 Earlington 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.
