About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits throughout my life. I currently have two cats and have experience with multi-pet households, including having five cats and a dog at one time. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for pet care. I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care according to their normal routine. I’m available for daytime visits and overnight house sitting. I provide calm, attentive care in your pet’s home, following their normal routines and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I’m respectful of your home and understand the trust involved in caring for your pets while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small, for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. I work well with routine. Most animals love me from the moment we meet, willing to stay with the animals all day. Currently working part time so can stay with animals for long periods of time. Can work most days of the week. Not in school and my other job is for whenever I can. Unfortunately I cannot have other animals at the apartment complex I live in so I wouldn’t be available to watch them here. Also I only have unsociable cats at home so I wouldn’t be able to bring them over for play dates either.

“Cadence took great care of Cheddar. She sent daily updates and photos, which is always appreciated. She took good care of my apartment as well while I was gone. I would definitely have her come watch Cheddar again. She will take amazing care of your pets.”

About: Hello, and welcome. We are excited to host your furry family member! My husband and I have been caring for animals all of our lives and enjoy the company. I also have over a year of experience working as a vet tec assistant as well so your four legged friend is in wonderful hands. While here they will have run of the house, or enjoy time outside in one of our two dog yards. One is connected to our living room and has access to the garage. The other is separate incase your pooch likes thier own space. We take your pooches on walks ans if they would like they can visit the animals on the ranch ( on leash of course) We like to keep busy and understand that our fur babies do as well! I am an entrepreneur and work on my own schedule. This allows me to adjust my hours as needed when I have animal guests in my home. We are set up to provide a variety of options from fenced in yards, dog runs for extra play time or private spaces for those who need more specialized care.

“William was a fantastic pet sitter. During a CrowdStrike issue delaying my flight, he remained flexible to starting at a later date. He even reduced the cost by one day. Couldn't thank him enough for watching my buddy.”

I loved knowing my pups were in their own environment while I was away. Came home to happy, healthy pups. Joslin was quick to respond to any questions I had and sent pictures throughout my trip. Will definitely use again.

Felicity is a delightful pet sitter with excellent experience. She took care of our 2 cats for three weeks and kept us well informed on their status. Hopefully she will be available for our next trip. We will not have a worry about them as long as she is there.

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 Ellsworth Air Force Base 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 Ellsworth Air Force Base 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 Ellsworth Air Force Base 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.

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.

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 .

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.
