“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kristen is amazing! Punctual, friendly, calm. Great communication. Best of all, Teddy seemed to love her and be extremely comfortable with her. It was the fastest I have ever seen him settle down with someone even with meds. Will definitely be booking with Kristen again when someone is needed. Thank you!”
“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: We have a great fenced back yard, it is divided in two different areas providing a better environment according to your pet's need, where your dog can enjoy a sand box, trampoline and even swim in the pool like our dog does(if he is used to it). If he enjoys to run and play our half acre yard should be a great option. In our home your pet will sleep with our dog and have the same attention we provide her. We also have a nice basement where Molly plays when raining and 2 dog kennels outside that she uses to take naps when she wants(door stays open all the time) with plenty space and all the comfort necessary, but she usually prefers to run free and play in the yard the entire day. One thing is for sure: your pet will be loved and treated as part of our family, having lots of fun with our kids, something he will not be able to get at a regular "dog hotel". We do ask the owner's that all dogs are groomed prior to the boarding/daycare. We also board other pets like birds, turtles, guinea pig, etc. Because we do not have a huge house eventually, depending on the number of dogs we may have on a certain day, we cannot accept big dogs like German Shepherd or dogs around the same size and weight. We do require a MEET AND GREET for new dogs. I have been a trainer for over 30 years. My kids do homeschool so your pet will not be alone. There's always someone around. Also my wife only leaves to work if Iam home. I have a friendly dog, Molly, that will play with your dog the entire day and besides that my two kids love to interact with all the pets we have around. I have been a dog trainer for over 30 years and I am happy I have been able to be around them my entire life. My entire family loves dogs.
“Michelle was punctual, friendly and seemed comfortable with Teddy. He was fed and medicated on schedule and seemed content when we got home. Will definitely call Michelle again when needed. Thank you!”
About: I have been a pet owner for my whole life. I have had bunnys, dogs and cats. I love all animals and they love me. I am currently not working as of now for a little bit while I transition to something else so your dogs will have my full undivided attention. I have a fenced in big back yard where my dogs run and play. I also take them on walks and have beds for them.
“Pat has been incredibly flexible, nice and patient!! My cat absolutely loved her stay and the love she got from Pat! I was so worried at first about her adjusting to a new place but she ended up loving being with Pat so much that when i picked her up she was treating her house as it if it was her own😂 She also became super comfortable around Pat in an incredibly fast period, which tells me she really trusted her!!”
“Jenna was awesome! It was the first time leaving our pup for the night and I missed him as soon as I left but Jenna sent a picture right away of her and him playing outside together. He looked so happy and it made me feel so much better! Throughout the night she continued to send me several pictures and keep me updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend booking with Jenna!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle!!! From the very beginning, communication was seamless and reassuring. They took the time to get to know my pet’s routine, quirks, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much love and attention my pet was getting. It was clear that Danielle treated them like family. When my husband came home, my boys were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which speaks volumes. The extra touches like tidying up water bowls, talking to my chickens and birds, really showed how much they go above and beyond. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly caring. I will absolutely be booking with them again! For my first experience on Rover…..absolutely amazing! Thank you Danielle!”
“Julie is THE VERY BEST! We have three older dogs who can be challenging. She gave them such loving attention and care. Julie always kept us abreast of their status with updates and photos. When we got home, our dogs were happy to see us, but they didn’t seem as jubilant as they normally do. THAT’S A TESTAMENT to Julie. THEY LOVED HER!!! And that’s what every family should want for their pups. Have no reservations about hiring Julie. We will be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Julie!”
“Laura was AMAZING!! We were so blessed to have found her!! Many thanks for the great communication, pictures and fabulous gifts she left for Julian! So thoughtful and kind!! Just cannot say enough great things about this beautiful young lady!! Definitely a keeper!!!”
“I 100% recommend Kathleen! She really saved us! Our pet sitter canceled the morning we were supposed to leave for a seven-day vacation. I posted a job on Rover and she responded immediately, and very kindly stepped in to help, even though she had just finished another pet sitting gig. She took care of our beloved older dog, Dewey and our nine chickens. She was thoughtful, loving, reliable, and responsible. She texted with us almost daily, which we had asked her to do, and which set our minds at ease. She went above and beyond by giving our chickens daily treats and giving our dog LOTS of love. She is warm, respectful, and a good communicator. She also left the house in immaculate condition--in some ways cleaner than we left it. An ideal house and pet sitter in every way!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.

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 East Templeton 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 East Templeton 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 East Templeton 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.
