“Marlin stayed with Alyssa for the weekend and had such a good time! She sent multiple photos during his stay and took great care of him. Would definitely book again with her again. Thank you!”
“Julianna took great care of our two dogs in our home for several nights. She was especially good with our skittish dog, taking things slow and moving at our nervous dog's pace. We also got plenty of pictures while we were away and came home to a clean house and two happy dogs.”
“Kelsey was great! She drove out to visit us and our dog prior to booking so we could make sure it was a good fit. She was proactive in confirming arrival and departure times, and kept us up to date over the weekend. We will be reaching out to Kelsey again in the future, for sure!”
“Jennifer did a great job staying in our home and taking care of our dog. She communicated very clearly, gave good updates (with photos), and our dog seemed happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when we returned home. We would absolutely book here again to dog and house sit”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14 years old. I’ve had both large and small dogs, and have trained puppies and taken care of senior cats and dogs. My friends and family refer to me as a “Disney princess” because of how well animals respond to me. I work from home, but cannot board in my home. That being said, my equipment is portable, which means I am able to stay at your home to give your pets a constant presence if needed. It also allows me some flexibility in visiting times. I am capable of crating dogs if needed, maintaining puppy training, and walking all sizes and temperaments. For cats I ensure fresh food, water, and litter daily, as well as some pets and scritches if they accept them (we all know how picky cats can be!)
About: I’ve lived and worked with dogs my whole life; big and small, young and old, and a variety of breeds. I started walking friends’ and neighbors’ dogs on my own as a teenager, and I first stayed over as a dog sitter not long after that. Over the years, I’ve gotten quick at reading what a dog needs in the moment, whether that’s more physical activity, some quiet space, or just reassurance and time, and giving them exactly that. I’m comfortable handling the messier and more unpredictable parts of the job too, from accidents to nervous or anxious behavior, without missing a beat. More than anything, I love spending time with animals, and I can’t wait to build a real connection with every animal I work with. - Dog walker for 14+ years (more than 20 dogs, all sizes/ages) -Dog sitter for 10+ years (More than 12 dogs, including households with multiple pets, multiple night stays, familiar and first-time clients) I currently work part-time in a remote role, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day/week to walk, feed, and play with dogs without any sense of time limitations. I’m available across weekdays and weekends, and almost any time of day, whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening stay. I care for your pets as if they are my own. My promise is to engage with your pet on your terms and with the utmost transparency and communication. I’ll follow the expectations you set (feeding time, walks, medications) so your dog’s routine is as normal as possible while you’re away. I will keep you in the loop throughout with updates, photos, and check-ins. This same care extends to your home, tidy, undisturbed, and just as you left it.
“Chloe was great! She was reliable and on time. Our pup loved hanging out with her. She sent picture and viseo updates so we knew what our dog got up to while in Chloe’s care. We will book her again for future stays!”
About: I treat every dog like family-with love, patience, and attetion. I make sure each pyp feels safe, happy, loved and cared for while you're away. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I set aside time every day for walks, feeding and playtime. i enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they are well cared for. During walks, I focus on the dog's safety and wellbeing. I choose quiet routes when possible, bring water if it's hot, and make sure they get exercise and simulation. I always treat them withcare and respect
About: I have a Rotty. Prior to her, I had a basset hound. Your dog will be a piece of cake, trust me! Due to the dangerous nature of my dog breed, I am naturally more cautious to every dogs needs and can handle them accordingly. I walk my reactive dog daily. She is also very active and slightly territorial. She is well trained and obedient with a good response time. I come prepared with toys and treats, depending on dogs sensitivity. I allow dogs time to sense my aura before approaching their spaces. I have years of training experience from other trusted dog owners.
“Jess was fantastic and showed Clay a lot of attention while we were away. She was very quick to respond when we had questions and sent lots of pictures during her time with Clay. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their fur child while away from home.”
“Jonathan did an outstanding job taking care of our Sophie and our home. Sophie, our lab, did not want Jonathan to leave. He took great care of Sophie and we would definitely use him again. We highly recommend Jonathan.”
“Nora is great! She came by to meet Mac ahead of booking and we could tell she had a really kind energy. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated and even drew us a wonderful picture of him.”

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 Fayville 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 Fayville 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 Fayville 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.
