About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs ranging from small to very large and am confident in providing them a great experience while their owners are away! I am currently student teaching at Lone Rock School district and would be there 8-4. Depending on house set up and location, would be able to let dogs out and be with them in the morning and evening. I love going on walks with dogs and enjoy being outside to get fresh air. Would follow scheduled feedings and have experience giving medicine to pets!
“Leah was absolutely amazing caring for our puppy! Her care put our mind at ease traveling out of state and we will definitely rebooking for all of our other upcoming trips! Highly recommend!!”
“Chloe was awesome with my temperamental cat who is older and not the easiest to get along with. She was extremely flexible and communicative from the first time I messaged her and even went out of her way to return my extra key before the stay when I realized I briefly needed it back. Left my place very clean and my cat relaxed and comfortable during a heat wave. I would recommend her if you also have a cat who needs a lot of patience and personal space.”
“Carlee took excellent care of our two dogs! She was super responsive and thoughtful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would be happy to have her stay with our dogs again - they were living their best lives with her 😊”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. I love all dogs big or small and appreciate getting to know a dogs personality. I have a flexible schedule so I am able to do drop ins frequently. I enjoy spending time with animals if you need longer visits as well. I like to be very respectful and considerate when coming into peoples homes. Respecting someone’s space is important to me personally. Also respecting the animal and their needs and boundaries is also very important to me.
“Georgina is a fantastic dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua. He warmed up quickly to Georgina and she sent me lots of photos and updates, which I appreciated! I could tell he was well taken care of while we were gone! She also kept the house clean and went above and beyond and washed the sheets at the end of her stay. I will definitely book Georgina again in the future!!”
“Holly was absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve used Rover for my pets and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. She sent great updates and pictures during her stay and left my house/yard cleaner than it was before!”
About: I've never pet sit professionally but have helped friends out a lot for many years. I've had my own pet throughout my whole life, including a cat currently. All animals seem to love me as much as I love them. I've been told by many people that their dog usually don't like people, when they come right to me. I'm currently unemployed which gives me plenty of time for your fur babies! I'm able to board, visit or stay with your babies. I have a fenced yard with a dog door into the office. I also have a crate if needed. I love to play fetch and go on walks with the puppers!
“Haley was an absolutely wonderful housesitter! She took exceptional care of all my animals and was incredibly attentive to every detail. She was confident with the horses and patient and respectful with my stand-offish Livestock Guardian Dog, who couldn’t help but warm up to her. I think Haley and my cat are friends for life now:) I felt completely comfortable knowing my animals and home were in such good hands. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.”
“We had a family emergency and Nickolas responded immediately and put us at ease under very short notice. He went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were gone. He sent us photos and genuinely cared for our animals and it gave us huge peace of mind in a difficult situation. We are so thankful.”
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was a kid, growing up in a full home of pets, including some enthusiastic barkers! One of my favorite experiences has been watching my own dog grow from a scared, nervous street pup into a friendly, loving, and confident family pet. I’m comfortable with walks, cuddles, energetic or nervous animals, and more complicated feeding and diet routines. One of my proudest pet-sitting experiences has been my two-week stays at my aunt’s home caring for two very energetic German Shorthaired Pointers, a senior cat, two goats, chickens, ducks, and, in the spring, chicks and ducklings! I’m responsible, observant, and communicative with pet owners. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away, follow your pet’s routine and instructions carefully, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. If I’m staying overnight, you may come home wondering if I was ever there—aside from your happy, well-cared-for pets! I’m a full-time student, and outside of classes, a few hours of lab work, and a very intermittent part-time job, my schedule is quite flexible. I’m available mornings and afternoons throughout the week, with classes generally ending around 2 p.m. Tuesday–Friday and around 6 p.m. Monday. I also love getting outside, so dog walks are a perfect way for me to get some exercise while giving your pet attention and activity. For longer stays, I’m happy to bring my schoolwork and study at your home, while still making sure your pet gets plenty of walks, playtime, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Since I don’t board pets in my home, your pet can stay in the space they’re familiar with while I make sure all of their routines and needs are met. On walks, I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and surroundings, including other dogs, people, and potential hazards. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment while avoiding interactions that could make them uncomfortable or put them at risk. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Quinn was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He was also flexible in setting up a time to do a meet and greet before we left. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was in excellent shape upon our return. Quinn was very thoughtful and tidy and even started laundry for his bedding and towels before we got home.”
About: I grew up with a love of all animals and have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I know have a cat and a rat of my own and study wildlife biology at the University of Montana. I also have experience working with many types of animals I have worked at zoos and animal care facilities providing daily diet, care, and enrichment for a number of animals. I am a student at the University of Montana so my schedule is fairly open and I will be willing to change plans and make time to fit jobs into my daily routine. I have an indoor cat and rat at my home. My rat has her own cage and space but gets along great with my cat when I bring her out for a visit.
“Ben is an excellent “dog” person! And when plans go awry he is highly adaptable to not only hiccups in the house-sitting, but also with the pet-sitting arrangements. I have a very smart, 1/2 aussie shepherd-1/2 black lab”
“Cora was wonderful and Gus was well taken care of all weekend. She made sure to send frequent updates on how he was doing, got his favorite game of fetch in (even with crappy weather), and went out of her way to drop him off at home periodically for some breaks since we lived conveniently close by. This was a last minute request and we were so grateful he was in good hands.”
“This was the first time Natalee stayed with our 2 dogs and one cat. I am always nervous about leaving them! However after meeting Natalee, I felt very comfortable with our pets I her care! She is very capable and responsible. Will definitely book her again. 🌸”
About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved caring for animals! About 5 years ago, I welcomed my lovely cat into my life, and got him a friend about 3 years ago! I’d love to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work full time, but am available any week day after 6pm and before 9am in the mornings and am available full day Saturday and Sundays! I have a small fenced yard and can walk dogs around the neighborhood! Can absolutely dog proof the house and keep your pets safe always!

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 Florence 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 Florence 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 Florence 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
