“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Bev was great with my dogs. You could tell she genuinely enjoyed being with the dogs and sent me pictures and updates daily. She also took great care of the house, brought in my mail, washed her sheets and is all around just a very nice person!”
“Alex was great. The dogs had a few minor medical things which she communicated to me and we worked out a plan-she even cooked for them to calm Martha’s upset tummy The animals were happy and comfortable when we got home. The house was in good order. We got so many great pics too!!!! She also offered to stay later if needed (we had some traffic delays) which was nice (we didn’t need it in the end but the offer was appreciated). Thanks Alex!!!!”
“Devyn was over and beyond with my dog Teddy! She was prompt, answered my texts in a timely manner and most of all was so kind to Teddy!! Devyn left my home better than I left it! When I got home Teddy was content, happy to see me but not stressed at all. We are so grateful to find Devyn as a pet sitter💖”
About: While I've had dogs for 8+ years, I have learned the importance of training and instructing animals. In the past, I have trained dogs to understand commands such as sit, stand, lie down, paw, and many more. Not only have I focused on training, but I also recognize the importance of exerting energy in which I can play fetch with dogs or even run with them. While I am in classes, I will have plenty of time throughout the days and most nights to watch, walk, and care for your animal. When it comes to hours or even a few minutes, there is always a way to work taking care of your pet into my schedule. The middle of the days are usually harder for me since I am in class, but other than that, I have pretty much open availability. In my own personal home, It would be hard for me to house an animal considering my roommates have both a dog and a cat. I wouldn't want any animal to be reactive so I would have to visit rather than bring to my home. I am more than willing to travel to a destination to care for your animal. I am also able to walk your animal in any area deemed fit and safe for both the animal and myself.
“Lindsey is reliable and responsible, sharing photos and updates while we were away. Easy to work with and our animals love her! Feel totally at ease having Linsey watch our pets and house. Will be asking her to help us again.”
“The whole experience with Amy was fantastic! I was nervous about leaving our dog with someone new as he is very attached to us and did not fare well in a previous out-of-home setting. But Amy was great and Raven was at ease almost immediately. Her house sitting option was perfect for us and we didn't worry about a thing during our time away.”
“Kim took very good care of my two dogs while we were away for 7 days. I’m thankful to be able to leave for a vacation and not have to worry that my dogs being cared for appropriately.”
About: I am a woman of faith. I was raised around pets and have several years of experience pet sitting. I currently dogsit for clients, friends, and family. I've cared for dogs with disabilities and special medication requirements. I am particular about the clients I accept. If you’re a multi-dog owner, please note I will accept clients with 1 or 2 dogs. I require an initial phone consultation and in-person meet and greet prior to booking to ensure we are a good fit. My clients understand I work full-time in Warminster and am happy to accommodate their needs outside of my work hours. I only dogsit in my clients' homes and required reasonable sleeping accommodations for the duration of my stay. Contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to speaking with you. Have a blessed day! I work a full-time job in Central Bucks County 9 AM-5:30 PM. Outside of these hours, I am happy to accommodate your pet and home care needs. I am permitted a 30-minute lunch that can be utilized for a midday visit if you are local. When I sit overnight, I stay in my clients' home to accommodate their pets' schedule. I require a place to sleep and shower. When I stay in a client's home, I treat it respectfully as if it were my own home. I am happy to accommodate any additional housekeeping requests, within reason.
About: I have been taking care of animals for all of my life. I have been fostering dogs since I was 14 years old. I also am currently in school for zoology working towards my goal of going to vet school. I intern at a vet clinic where I work closely with a variety of different personalities of animals. I have gone abroad and work with a multitude of vets to gain more animal experience. I am also a hard worker I have been working since I was 14 as an amusement park as an animal caretaker while taking side jobs dog sitting. Your animals will be in great hands with me I will make sure they are well taken care of. I am a college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Between just letting out or staying the night, I only have a one class on Mondays and Fridays, none on Wednesdays, and three in the morning on Tuesdays, and Thursdays so I will be able to be flexible to your pet's schedule. Depending on your situation, I am able to adapt to your home environment, whether it be a pet on leash, fenced in yard, or crating your pet. I am able to adapt to whatever, you know your pet best so I will listen to whatever safety regulations you have implemented.
About: I am a dogsitter and dogwalker that has been working with dogs for a third of my life I was always surrounded by dogs growing up and would love to keep it that way :) Currently working remote so I’d love to help out with any dogsitting needs you have and be with your pup or cat! Extremely flexible schedule :) When dogsitting, I am always hanging out with the dog. I walk them a little extra sometimes. And will play with them as much as their heart desires :)
About: Unique qualities that set me apart from other sitters: Individualized Approach: I understand that each pet is unique. I can adapt to their needs, whether it’s a little one, a senior pet, or a pet with special requirements. Love and Care: I genuinely care for each pet as if they were my own. I’m ready to provide them with all the necessary care and attention. If you have any additional questions or requests, feel free to ask! Daily Routine: Morning Walks and Feeding: I start the day with a brisk walk and feeding. This helps my pet get some energy and nourishment to kickstart the day. Playtime and Training: I incorporate time for play and training to keep my pet physically and mentally fit. Midday Breaks: If possible, I take a break during the day to let my pet out for a bathroom break and some fresh air. Evening Walks and Feeding: Another walk in the evening followed by dinner. This helps my pet burn off any excess energy and prepare for a restful night. In My Home Comfortable Environment: I ensure my home is pet-friendly, with safe spaces for pets to explore and relax. Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to help pets feel secure and comfortable. Socialization: Pets have the opportunity to interact with other animals, which can be beneficial for their social skills. Monitoring: I keep a close eye on pets to ensure they are healthy and happy, addressing any issues promptly.

Communication: I keep the pet owner updated with regular reports and photos, so they can feel reassured about their pet’s well-being. Safety and Security: I ensure the home is secure and that pets are safe, following any specific instructions provided by the owner.
“Maggie had a great time with Alex! He was very attentive, kept me updated and made my very anxious girl relaxed. We will definitely use him again to keep Maggie company!”
“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”
About: I have extensive experience pet sitting cats, dogs, fish, and birds. I always think that animals are a part of ones families and should be treated so. I am a reliable pet sitter, and love animals. I have watched a range of animal ages and have experience with puppies and kittens all the way to senior animals. I also have watched diabetic pets so have experience with providing insulin and also can provide medications. I have worked with families who have multiple animals up to 7 for dogs, and 9 for cats. I love taking dogs on walks and having play time with them. I bring a loving and caring attitude to work, and you can rest assured that while you are away, your pets are in good hands.
“Mikaela arrived on time to watch our two dogs and seemed to enjoy spending time with Ruby and Fergie. She sent a few photos, fed our dogs and gave medication to one. We would definitely book with Mikaela again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eureka
Sarah recently cared for my dog Bo while I was on vacation. She was very efficient and left detailed notes, not only regarding Bo’s care, but also my home while she stayed there. Bo is recovering from surgery, and as such requires an extra gentle touch as well as some added patience. She was communicative about any out of the norm behavior or concerns she had and updated me daily. I know my dog was in good hands and well taken care of
Amy has been our go-to dog and house sitter for years. She is fantastic! One of our dogs can be a little quirky with new people but he warmed up to Amy right away. On our recent vacay, she took care of our dogs, feeding the fish in our pond, and the stray cat that comes round twice a day for meals. She is the best!
We had a great experience with Daisy. As a first time user of Rover services, we weren’t sure what to expect but Daisy put us as ease right away. She was responsive, punctual, and detailed in her questions. She took good care of our pets and home. Thank you, Daisy!
We are so grateful to have found Mallory to help with our pup! I can’t recommend her enough! She was so wonderful and attentive with our dog and kept us updated the whole time we were away with photos, videos, and messages. We will definitely be booking her again 😊🐶 thank you so much!
Tracy is amazing! We had to go to West Virginia for the weekend and I didn’t have to worry one bit about our pups getting the best care! Not only did she feed them and let them out, she took time to do some training / games with them and even taught them new things! She was very attentive; sent lots of pictures and videos! Also, when the girls were playing one of them got hurt. She took super good care of her by keeping an eye on it and washed her face daily to ensure no infection! Not only did she take super good care of the pups, we came home to a perfectly maintained home! She did all of the dishes, mopped the floors (since it was snowing and there was salt and marks all over) and even replaced our milk because she used it! We didn't even require any of these things! To say Tracy is awesome is an understatement! We will definitely be using her again!

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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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.
