“Megan was amazing and so communicative — she went above and beyond. When we had an issue with ants she even went to the store to grab some traps. She offered lots of pictures, and I felt so comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again!”

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.
“Courtney is an excellent, caring, and attentive dog sitter. During our meet and greet, it was clear she is highly experienced and skilled at caring for pets and animals in general. She watched my two rescue Yorkies in our home for over a week. My two dogs are not easy, as they have behavioral issues and often have tummy issues when I’m away traveling. Courtney was so great about communicating with me, keeping me posted on how the dogs were doing, and would ask thoughtful questions if something seemed potentially off with one of the dogs or if they may not be feeling well. It was also clear that Courtney treated our house like her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet sitting care for their pet!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m great with routines and can follow any specific instructions you have—because I know every pet is different. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with time built in for play, feeding, and companionship. I do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time through regular walks and supervised potty breaks. Safety is my top priority—I always keep dogs on a leash outside and stay aware of our surroundings. Inside, pets have a calm, secure space to relax, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and any special needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels at home.
“Olivia was amazing with our two dogs! One of them can be a bit timid and nervous but he took too Olivia right away! She followed all the instructions we left her and gave them lots of love! We couldn’t recommend her more we would definitely use her again moving forward!”

Ive taken care of animals for as long as I can remember from all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas to Border Collies to Greats Danes and all their little puppies. As well as Tabby Cats and more maintenance longed haired cats like Maine Coones! I do well with exotic animal as well and a fast learning to your animal's needs.

About: I’ve been house sitting on and off for almost two years! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life (I’ve had dogs, cats, and even a lizard!) I absolutely love animals, and growing up I was taught that our pets were part of the family, and I live by that sentiment now as an adult. Currently, I am a full-time student and I also work a part-time job, which can make it hard to be available for extensive periods of time. However, I am extremely flexible in going back and forth from multiple responsibilities, and have no issue sitting overnight! I think as much as it is important to meet all of your pets basic needs, it is equally as important to make sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. In the past, I’ve spent any time I could playing with my pets and keeping them company as they await the return of their owners.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has a 14-year-old poodle mix named Snowy back home in Houston, so I’m very comfortable providing patient, gentle, and attentive care for senior dogs. I also have experience with younger dogs through my cousin’s puppy, who is now a large Goldendoodle, such a cutie and still a baby at heart! ❤️ I also live with my roommate’s three Chihuahuas, who are 2, 8, and 13 years old, which has given me experience with dogs at different stages of life. My friends and family regularly trust me to take care of their pets when they travel or go out of town, so I’m used to being responsible for their routines and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me some flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m generally available in the mornings, afternoons between classes, and evenings. I have flexibility to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep up with their usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any other special care. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they’re in a safe environment where they can feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated and communicate with them if I have any questions or concerns. I want to make sure their owners don’t have to worry while they’re away having fun or busy with whatever they have planned.
About: I always make sure my pet babies are well fed and clean water everyday. Cages or areas well cleaned and tidy. Organize their space well. Take the time to hold/pet each one individually one on one time with me. Its a daily,weekly,nightly routine. I have to make sure my babies are looking good, feeling good. I take my time to clean and feed and hold each pet so they know I love them dearly. I would treat a clients pet just as I would my own with love and understanding. Patient is very important when caring for any pet. I would love it as it was my own.

“We had Brooke and Steven stay at our house for about 10 days with our dogs and rabbits while we were away on vacation. They kept the house picked up and most importantly cared about our animals. They kept in contact with me the whole time sending me messages and pictures. I felt very confident that our pets were being taken care of very well. I would have them stay at our house again and take care of our animals.”


“Chase is very sweet, and absolutely amazing with both of our dogs. We have an anxious rescue and it seemed that he took to her immediately. They both seemed very comfortable with chase and got lots of love and attention. I would 100% recommend, and we will continue to book with her. Thank you chase!!!”

About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.
About: As a veterinary technician at an ER clinic, I care for hundreds of dogs and cats each year and have hands-on experience with medication administration, injections, diabetic pets, seizure disorders, special-needs animals, post-operative care, anxious or fearful pets, training staff on protocols, and teaching fellow fosters as well as adopters on animal care and behavior. I am also an accomplished foster who has hosted everything from queen cats nursing kittens to weaned kittens, puppies, dogs, and senior animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities and I approach every animal with fear-free handling! Lifelong animal lover and former small business owner, I've spent years working with animals of all kinds through veterinary medicine, 4-H, fostering, and therapeutic horseback riding programs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, and Blink cameras throughout my home help me monitor pets whenever I'm away briefly. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, enrichment, exercise, and individualized attention. Located near nature trails and a large enclosed outdoor area, I offer a safe, comfortable environment where your furry family members can relax, play, and feel right at home. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to take breaks as needed throughout my work days. I do not work on weekends, so I am always at home to attend to the critters! I am also available holidays. With experience caring for orphaned animals daily, including those requiring medications and specialized care, I prioritize your pet's health, safety, and happiness. My flexible schedule, attentive monitoring, and pet-friendly space with enrichment activities, cozy resting areas, and nearby outdoor access ensure your beloved companion receives compassionate, professional care while you're away. 🐾
“Joely was so amazing with our pets! Super communicative and sent a lot of photos and updates! I felt 100% comfortable with her watching them. I will definitely have her watch them next time we need a sitter.”

“Michelle was fantastic!! She sent us updates and photos every day and our dogs looked very happy and at ease. She walked them consistently and was very positive with every interaction. Plus, she washed and dried the bed linens before she left, so the house was fully recovered from her stay. We'll definitely be hiring her again, and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, caring pet sitter.”

“Tess was amazing with my 3 babies. She was very communicative, and provided so many pictures. I would rebook with her without any hesitations. She made leaving my babies for the first time stress free. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.

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 Fentress 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 Fentress 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 Fentress 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.
