“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 did a great job caring for our pups. Very responsive to check ins and sent photos throughout the week to keep us updated. I would recommend Livvi to anyone looking for pet and/or housesitting with a pet.”
“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!”
“Angelina took good care of our girls. They were very happy puppies when we returned. They even looked for her for a couple days after we returned. She also looked after our chinchillas and snake and took good care of them all. Will ask her to watch them all again!”
“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!”
“Jessica stayed with our babies during the holiday and made sure they felt save and secure during the fireworks by snuggling with them in the bed. We came home to a clean home and happy girls!!”

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: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young 🐶💗 Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love animals, so your pet will always feel safe, happy, and loved in my care ✨🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. My baby loves animals, and we enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’ll care for your pets like they’re part of my family. I’ll follow your routine, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, give lots of love and playtime, and send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. I have a fenced yard as well!
About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. I don’t currently work because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, four cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.
About: I have taken care of animals including dogs of all sizes as well as cats since I was young. I grew up with 7 dogs at one point and now we have a cat as well. I am a stay at home mother, so my availability is open often during the week and weekends and would love to help when I can :) I will treat your animals as well as I do my own. Making sure they had food, water, and had outside time frequently to use the bathroom and play if allowed.
“First time user of the Rover app and we had Rachel over to our house for 6 days to watch our 2 goldens. It was a perfect match. She brought her Golden with her and they all got along so well. 2 swimming trips to the river and lots of play time at our house. She treated our dogs like they were her own. Lots of daily communication, videos and pictures made us feel at ease with having someone that we barely knew, watch over our house and dogs. There was even a new dog toy and chews left behind for the boys. Do no hesitate to book Rachel for any of your pet sitting needs. We will definitely reach out to her again when the time comes for another booking.”
“We contacted Molly last minute as another sitter canceled and she was wonderful with immediate contact and initial meeting set up. Our dogs loved her and everything went very well. She stayed in contact with us during our time away. I will definitely be asking for her help again as needed. It was so great to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were so well cared for.”
“Rachel was amazing! She had great communication the entire time and we loved the updates she sent us. Sadie (my dog) was well taken care of and we would definitely have Rachel dogsit again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly believe pets are part of the family! Growing up, I regularly pet sat and walked dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve also cared for cats and understand that they each have their own routines, personalities, and comfort levels. While in college, I worked as a Wag! walker and absolutely loved getting to know different dogs and their individual personalities. I now have a Mini Schnauzer of my own who is very much part of the family. I’ve also traveled with dogs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m friendly, active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, your cat prefers some quiet company and attention, or your pet just needs someone to keep their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so walks and playtime fit naturally into my day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention. I know consistency is important for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised play and potty breaks, as well as a friendly Mini Schnauzer of our own. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them the space or attention they need. We also have a basement area that can be completely blocked off if your pet prefers their own quiet space or needs some time away from our dog. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Tierra was wonderful! Our dog Hank loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet 😊 She did an amazing job watching him, she sent great updates and pictures and Hank had so much fun with her! We came back to a very happy guy after his time with her 😊 we will definitely use Tierra again”

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.
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 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.
