“Sarah was great watching Jenny. Spoiled her by bringing treats which Jenny loved. She even handed out Halloween candy to the children in the neighborhood. Jenny told us she would enjoy having Sarah watch her again, we told her that sounds like a good idea! Thank you Sarah.”
“Livvi is very good with the Rush, Poppy, and Charlie. The pets were glad I came home but were very comfortable with Livvi when I was away. I will hire her again when I plan another trip. I am comfortable with her. She was extremely good with daily pictures and messages with me.”
“Mary was so sweet and great with our Dane. She took good care of her. She cares about your animals and we trusted her with our baby. Will definitely go with her again!”
“Laura is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our pups and cat while we were out of town. Kept us updated with pictures which I loved!! Will definitely book again. Highly recommend Laura!”
“Jessica was great! Very communicative and went the extra mile with check out - started the dishwasher, took the trash cans out for pickup, picked up dog poop, and the house was super clean when we came back! The dogs were calm and we felt they did great with house sitting versus boarding them. Will 100% book again very soon! Thank you again, this was a great experience for us.”
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
“Joy did a wonderful job on watching our little senior pug! She sent pictures and communication was fabulous! We had a happy little dog when we got home and she was respectful to our home! Definitely would recommend her! We will use her again for future trips! Thank you again for the great care!💓”
About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life. We mainly have Angora goats, chickens, ducks, and guardian dogs. However, we’ve also had the occasional sheep, dairy goat, guinea hen and even a llama. In the house we have a Vizsla, four cats, and salt water fish. In the past I have also had a gecko and a hedgehog. I am available from 11am to 2pm and after 5pm. My weekend availability varies as I have tournaments most weekends, but I am usually available all day on Sundays. I also am available full time during holiday breaks. I do not offer care at my house because I don’t want to risk any problems with my pets, but I am happy to come to your house or take your pets for walks!
“Stephanie is great with communication about our cats. Both our cats immediately went to her at greeting. We will have Stephanie watch our four-legged family again! She is genuine, honest and trustworthy.”
About: Hi! I’m Morgan, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas/ Jack Russells to Great Danes, and I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for cats and would be happy to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I currently have three dogs of my own, but they will be kept separate from your pet and crated when appropriate to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I have two children, ages 13 and 8, who have grown up around animals and love them just as much as I do. We understand that every pet has different needs and boundaries, and we’ll respect their space while making them feel welcome and loved. When your pet stays with us, my goal is for them to feel like they’re at a home away from home. They’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to spoil your pet with lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ A Little About Me 🐾 I work part-time, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone home throughout the week to give your pet plenty of attention and care. We love having animals around and want every pet who stays with us to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We are available to care for pets throughout the week. Due to our religious observance, we do not offer pick-up or drop-off from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. We’re happy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times around this schedule. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home! ❤️🐶🐱 We live on 5 beautiful acres with plenty of room for your pet to explore and enjoy walks. Our property is not fenced, so pets will always be supervised outside and kept safely on a leash. We also live on a quiet gravel road, which gives us a great opportunity to take pets on walks. Our goal is to provide your pet with lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Tell us about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions, and we will do our best to keep their routine as familiar as possible. My husband does need to pick up and drop off our children from school during the day. For your pet’s safety, they will be securely crated during those brief times when no one is home. Otherwise, we are home frequently and able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention. We want you to feel confident knowing your pet is staying with a family who will treat them like one of our own! ❤️🐶🐱
About: Hello! My name is Emma Brown and I work in the outdoor field hoping to work with wildlife in the future. I have always had dogs in my household growing up. Ever since I was young, I made it my job to teach my dogs tricks, make sure they don’t get into trouble, and give them the best home. At one point, my childhood dog had a litter of 11 chocolate lab puppies. I helped to raise them up all the way until they left for their new homes. I also watched other people’s dogs growing up. I have always made it my priority to understand each pet owners request and stick to that schedule. Prioritizing each dog’s safety and health has always been my biggest strength as well. This is what I love to do and I can’t wait to get to know your pets! I’m currently in between jobs right now and will have a lot of time to be with your pets. Depending on what you ask, I can take out your pets on walks, to be let out, or to just be around however long you may ask for. Just let me know what schedule you’d like me to fit into. I unfortunately can’t house your dog in my home. I can pet and house sit to make sure to keep their schedule as normal as possible. I always try my best to prioritize their safety and health, so only giving them their own food and treats is how I do so. I don’t feed my own pets my extra food scraps so don’t worry about that. Once you let me know of their schedule, I’ll follow it to the best of my ability. I would also love to know their mannerisms and quirks so I can best approach them and their care.
About: While growing up, we always had dogs, living with my best friend, i was her dogs' training instructor, and I have almost always lived with dogs' myself. I love them, despite them being much more needy than cats, but alike, we've always had cats too- even some households where cats and dogs weren't allowed to intermingle. I'm quick to catch a runaway and I've got an open schedule most the time. Our animals are like our children, they need attentive love and care, they sleep a lot, but their bedtimes food schedules and habits are as much of their nature as habit, and breaking their habits, never results in good endings. I operate my own business as SeansServices.Com, I do several tasks like landscaping, cleaning, moving or hauling. My schedule is pretty open until i have a job, then after my job, I am wide open again. There are times I'll do a long distance move, but I do know others on Rover I can recommend or refer if I am unavailable. I will always be up front. I currently cannot offer at home care, but I play with, work with and ask for or look up schedules every time they're given, with screen shots and alarms just like any job, I take my jobs seriously and my attentive and alertness on high. I never know what an animal is capable of until they show me, so I treat them all fairly with common warnings in mind, while addressing and watching for new concerns.
About: I have been caring for animals since childhood. Im great with dogs, cats and other pets. I have experience as a certified caregiver. I am a gourmet chef. I can groom animals if needed. I LOVE spending time with animals, I speak 'dog' and 'cat' fluently. I will take great care of your beloved pets. I have included photos of my lovely clients :) I am going to school for Music and do caregiving, pet sitting, and house-sitting. I have a flexible schedule and love to travel. Can do short or long term stays depending on the assignment. Can give discount for extended stay I will keep your home tidy. I can cook for and groom your pets if needed. I enjoy being active and taking dogs on walks
About: I lived on a small farm growing up and fell in love with animals. I took 4H when I was little putting rabbits in the fair. One thing to know about 4H Rabbits is at the Fair is that they are the tamest rabbit there, because of the time and love we give the rabbits. At the fair we got the opportunity to present the open class rabbits to the judges since we where train to handle them. I also worked with our family dog, (a collie at the time), on training him for 4H. Since them, in my teenage years, I bread and hand raise parkettes. I sold them to people once they where old enough to leave there moms. I know have two dogs I rescued, and a cat. I am always walking my dogs come rain, snow. Or sunshine. If you find yourself unable to walk your dogs because of work or weather, I am more then willing to walk them for you. Just give me a shout! I have three friendly dogs and a cat to keep your dogs, or cat company. I always leash the pets up before we go out for walks or whatever to keep them safe.
“Lori was great with my dog Emma! She was very attentive to Emma's schedule, routine and needs. Lori was on time and sent pictures of Emma each day. The feedback was great. Also, Lori did a great job of taking the sheets of the bed and straightening up the house even though this was not expected. Would definitely hire Lori again to house sit and watch my dog, Emma!”
“Tierra provided excellent care for our 14 month old mini dachshund who is a velcro pup! I will definitely want to book Tierra again in the future and highly recommend her.”
About: My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - English Point
Helen did a fabulous job with my dog, Trixie. She was super flexible when I changed the date at the last minute. Trixie was immediately taken with Helen and felt comfortable right away. I appreciated that she was able to spend the night at my home because Trixie needs to be let out late at night and early in the morning. I hope to book her again and again! Thanks again Helen!
Helen did an outstanding job taking care of my 3 dogs! She went above and beyond normal expectations to insure their comfort and happiness, every step of the way. She played ball with them for exercise and even played an outdoor game of hide and seek for treats! She was great at communicating with me about how the dogs were doing and sent lots of pics. She is friendly and professional and was very conscientious about following the care instructions. i would highly recommend Helen and hope to use her again when needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 English Point 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 English Point 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 English Point 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
