“This was the first time we have used Rover, and our selected dog-sitter was wonderful with our one year old border collie mix rescue—Boots. She came over for a meet and greet, kept Boots happy with walks, fetch games and companionship, and kept the house neat. We would happily engage her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Martin took great care of my dog and cat, I got regular updates including adorable pictures. He left my place perfect and very flexible and great communication. Definitely recommend.”
“August provided great weekend care for our two large breed dogs and two indoor cats. He was proactive with communication and always followed up quickly. He provided several updates during his stay and was willing to go above and beyond normal pet sitting duties. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend August to others, or to have him sit for us again. Thank you, August!”
“Laurie was excellent to work with! She house sat and took care of our dog, Luna, while we were away on an international vacation. Laurie was incredibly communicative, caring, and exercised such consideration when caring after Luna and our home. We highly recommend working with her for any housesitting and pet care needs!”
“Our first time using Christina L. and it was a joy. She came and stayed at our home and took care of our two fur babies and our home as if they were her own. She made us feel so comfortable that we will be booking again. It has been awhile since we felt so at ease leaving them behind. Would highly recommend”
About: I’ve had a strong bond with animals since I was young. I grew up with cats and dogs but dont have any pets right now. I walk dogs at the shelter and would love to meet and help care for animals who need the love and attention. I have a somewhat inconsistent schedule with lots of flexibility. I can work remotely from different locations and am able to take breaks throughout the day to love on your pets I cannot have animals in my home but I can easily tend to them in their usual environment. I am happy to follow any instructions on kenneling, walks, food, play, and routine and will follow your animal's lead if needed.
“Abigail took excellent care of Simba during our time away. She sent us picture updates and was communicative. We returned to a clean home and a happy pup. Would definitely have her again to watch our sweet Simba. Thank you Abigail!”
“Lilah was amazing! Lilah went above and beyond in their care for my dog. They were transparent about not having experience with reactive dogs like mine, but eneded up handling my dog SO WELL!! I think my Frannie might like her more than me now lol. My expectations were low since my dog is high maintenence & usually sitters act like they're doing me a favor by watching my dog. But Lilah took Fran on multiple potty breaks, played with her, engaged with her, sent photos and videos of play time, and even got my dog to poop which I struggle with profoundly, and Lilah communicated with me before during and after visits. My dog can't have normal walks with Rover sitters since she is reactive, so Lilah got creative and engaged with her in other ways. I can't reccomend Lilah enough! 🫶🎃”

“It was the first time using Eliza for overnight sitting and she was fantastic! She kept us updated with pictures and left our house clean after the visit was done. 5/5 and will be using her again :)”
About: I combine reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I keep you updated, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, like you never left! I’m a last semester nursing student doing my capstone! That means I have lots of time during the day, most of my shifts are nights! Please let me cuddle your pets, I need the dopamine! I have no other pets in my home, more time to focus on yours! I love walking, hiking and playing fetch! I used to be an urban park ranger, I know all the best parks!
About: I'm an avid thru-hiker who completed the 2,192-mile Appalachian Trail, and a lifelong dog lover. I'm active every day with hiking, walking, and yoga, so your dog will never be under-exercised. I currently feed and care for six semi-feral backyard cats, so I'm comfortable with animals of all temperaments. Reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet's routine exactly. I've also hiked Spain's Camino del Norte and run a small hiking YouTube channel (Dundee Hikes). Two drafts for you: I am retired, my days are flexible and built around staying active — morning yoga, daily walks or hikes, and plenty of time at home. Pet care fits naturally into that: I'm around most of the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and company, and I can adapt to your pet's existing routine.

Pet care fits naturally into that: I'm around most of the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and company, and I can adapt to your pet's existing routine." In my home, your pet gets a calm, clean space with no indoor pets competing for attention — just six semi-feral backyard cats who keep to themselves outside. I'm careful with routines, medications, and house rules, and I'll send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. In your home, I follow your instructions exactly and treat your space with respect.

I am currently a full time house sitter. I work part time online and part time delivering food and groceries. I make sure any dogs I watch are well cared for and I balance my time accordingly. I take them on walks. I can brush their fur. Play with them with their toys and throw balls in the backyard. I feed them accordingly and follow all instructions. I give them lots of attention and love.
“Bryant did a fantastic job taking care of our Milo! He was super responsive, sent us lots of pictures and videos, and really took the time to get to know Milo. It’s obvious how great Bryant is with animals and how much he cares about making his jobs a great experience for the pets and owners alike. Thank you for such great service, Bryant!”
“Sarah is absolutely terrific! She is very attentive and plays with our two dogs daily when she took care of them. After we returned from our week long trip, the house was clean and the dogs were very mellow indicating they had a good time with her stay. The dogs really liked her. Sara is A+. We plan to have her watch our dogs often when we travel.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have dogs of my own, and I come from a family with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also volunteer at Animal Humane, where I regularly walk and spend time with dogs. This has given me experience handling and caring for a variety of dogs, including those who may need a little extra patience, attention, or encouragement. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work Monday–Thursday from 8 AM–5 PM and Fridays from 8 AM–12 PM, so I’m primarily available for pet care in the evenings, Friday afternoons, and throughout the weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. I’m also able to plan ahead for bookings so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve! 🐾💕 I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive and responsible when caring for pets, and I always follow their owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, my priority is always their safety and well-being. 🐾❤️

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 Edgewood 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 Edgewood 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 Edgewood 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!

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 .
