“Blanca was amazing! She was very attentive with my dogs and was very communicative with me! She was a lifesaver with a last minute cancellation and really put my mind at ease. My dogs loved her and she even worked on training while I was away. I am very appreciative for her!”

“An amazing sitter. I would recommend her to pet sit more. For a beginner, she's sweet and understanding. And ask me questions about my dog and cat. Takes good pictures of my pets.”
“Alejandra was amazing, our dogs olly and isla loved her!! She was very patient with them and she cuddled and played with them alot (they’re puppies) + isla really warmed up to her which is rare because she is usually very picky about the people she’s around with. thank you so much alejandra for taking care of our kids! ◡̈ they loved you alot!! til next time!”

“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”

About: I've lived with pets my entire life (mostly dogs). Have experience with cats as well. No matter the animal it's one of God's creatures and is deserving of love and respect. I have a fairly set schedule so anything outside of that I'm always looking to fill with time meeting and helping people. Pets are always an added bonus! I care for them as if they were my actual human children, because that's what they are to me: children that never fully grow up. And all children are deserving of love and attention. I don't really believe in crates, unless the owner wants that. I like to go on walks, play and just hang out on the couch or the bed. It's whatever the owner and the pet want!
“Erika was great. Lainey took right to her! Erika went over any beyond what was expected. I appreciated her taking Lainey to the park to explore new things. The house was just like we left it and she even did the towels. I appreciated her taking such good care and playing with Lainey while we were away. Will definitely be using her again. Fabulous dog/house sitter.”

About: Veterinary assistant and lifelong dog enthusiast offering premier sitting services. Skilled in dedicating to your pet's happiness. Trust in my expertise as I pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian! My main job schedule is typically 7:15 AM–6:00 PM, but I do get a 1-hour lunch break and occasionally half-days, which I can sometimes work around. I plan pet visits around my shifts and make sure they’re consistent and reliable. For longer trips or multiple daily check-ins, I’m usually able to coordinate timing in advance so your pet’s routine stays on track. I’m also flexible where possible and do my best to accommodate clients who travel or have changing schedules I care for pets by following their routine closely—feeding, water, cleaning, and bathroom breaks when needed. I check in on their overall behavior and comfort, and I pay attention to any changes in health or stress, such as skin issues, appetite changes, or unusual behavior. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine while owners are away
About: For 15 years, I've been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—and I believe every pet deserves a little VIP treatment! Think of my approach as a mix of loving home, pet spa, and adventure camp. Whether your pet loves belly rubs, puppy massages, squeaky toys, long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I've cared for energetic puppies, helped reinforce basic puppy training over an extended stay, and provided gentle, compassionate care for a senior dog during his final days. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels. My home is pet-ready with a toy box, cozy orthopedic dog bed, treats (with your approval!), and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for fresh air and people-watching. There's even a dog park just a short walk from my back door! I also enjoy taking pets on adventures—from neighborhood walks and nearby trails to scenic car rides when the weather isn't ideal, always with your permission. Need a special meal prepared, a bath, medication administered according to your instructions, or extra TLC? Let's talk about your pet's needs and what I can comfortably accommodate. My goal is simple: Your pet should feel like they're on vacation while you're away—and you should feel confident they're in loving hands. I primarily work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. I typically plan walks, potty breaks, and playtime every 3–4 hours, but I'm happy to adjust based on your pet's age, energy level, health, and established routine. My days can include morning walks, afternoon play sessions, cuddle breaks, enrichment activities, and evening wind-down time. For pets who enjoy exploring, I'm always up for an approved outdoor adventure or scenic car ride! Because I'm home much of the day, your pet won't just be waiting around for attention. They'll be part of my daily routine, with plenty of opportunities for interaction, exercise, rest, and affection. Whether your pet is a high-energy explorer or a professional couch companion, I'll work to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and fun. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved family member in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. In my home: Pets enjoy a comfortable, welcoming apartment with toys, an orthopedic dog bed, cozy resting spots, and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for enjoying fresh air. There's a dog park just outside my building, and I provide regular walks and outdoor play based on your pet's needs and comfort level. I follow your instructions regarding feeding, treats, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and routines. I always ask about allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral considerations, and anything that might make your pet anxious or uncomfortable. In your home: I respect your space and your pet's established routine. My goal is to keep their environment familiar and minimize disruption while providing reliable, attentive care. I never assume that every pet enjoys the same activities. Dog parks, trail walks, car rides, interactions with other animals, and special treats are always discussed with you first. I'm also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and affection—as though they're part of my own family.
“Sierra was amazing at watching my senior dog. She kept me posted on his activities, and feeding along with photos. She gave me peace of knowing he was well taken care of while we were away! I would highly recommended Sierra and will absolutely be using her services again!”


About: I’ve been around animals for all of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I currently have a large friendly Bernedoodle of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs, energetic puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, and lots of playtime! I also have an animal science and equestrian background, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals and paying close attention to their behavior and individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure owners receive plenty of updates and photos while they’re away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability so they receive consistent, reliable care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure pets are secure on walks and comfortable in their environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care. I am also Cat and Dog CPR certified in case of emergency!
“Rachel did wonderfully with our anxious senior pup. She communicated regularly with us about the things we requested to know and provided pictures throughout the stay. She demonstrated advanced understanding of a doggie thinking and beautifully handled our pup's resistance to eating, which had been happening since long before her stay. We came home to a happy, calm, well-cared-for pup. I'd hire her again.”
About: I have a soft spot for animals because I grew up with lots of them and hope to help strays in the future. I’ve helped my mom my entire life with her dog business so I’m very familiar and comfortable with caring for dogs! I have a very flexible schedule so I’m typically available if needed. I am able to do a few drop ins a day and for long term clients, overnight stays. If your pet needs to be let out in a fenced area or walked I can do that along with feeding and providing fresh water when needed. Additionally, I don’t mind a little enrichment such as playing fetch or a little tug of war. All animals should feel safe and comfortable and I provide that feeling.
“Brittany was so kind with Prince; he was his normal self when I arrived home which means he didn’t miss a beat when it came to eating, walking, playing, etc. she sent pictures and went out of her way to make sure everything went great; whenever our schedules align I’ll definitely choose her to stay with my little sleepy guy!”


“Gabe is a nice man with a great heart for your pet(s). He communicates well and delivers on his promises. I feel I can trust him again to take care of my fur family of five.”

About: I have a lifetime of pet care experience. I always go above and beyond, spending enormous amounts of time with your pet(s) so they feel secure, entertained, and loved. I decided to devote more time into Pet Sitting after my sweet sweet Maggie passed away this year. She was 17 years old and the absolute love of my life! I miss her so much every single day. ❤️🐾 I work from home and am fortunate to be able to spend alot of time with your pet(s). We’ll have a great time! I am available 7 days a week, as well as extended periods of time. I will treat your sweet pet as if he/she were my own. I absolutely love animals and will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet(s). We’ll have fun! There will not be any children or other dogs/cats in my home while I am caring for yours. I will always put a leash on your dog when it’s time to go outside. If your dog (or cat) has any special needs, no worries…just let me know.
About: Hi, I’m Hayley! I believe every dog deserves a walk tailored to their own unique pace and personality. With over 8 years of independent pet-care experience, my specialty is bringing a calm, patient, and empathetic energy to your furry friends. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, and horses my whole life, and am comfortable managing anxious or excitable pets. I pride myself on reliability and communication and will send as many update photos as you’d like! Your peace of mind and your dog’s happiness are my top priorities. I work as a freelance artist, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m happy to work with what you and your pets need and adjust to the schedule they’re used to. I’m unable to board pets at my own home, but am more than happy to travel to yours! My care includes daily walks, feeding and medication, house upkeep, and frequent updates.

Fiona was very professional, probably the most pro of any sitter I’ve had on rover! They were great with my dogs and I appreciate the maintenance with their routines and training. Will for sure book again. Even my super independent dog was sitting on the couch and being social, which is a great sign!

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 Ellisboro 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 Ellisboro 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 Ellisboro 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.

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.
