“Noel took great care of our puppy Tito! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kerstin is wonderful! She stayed with our two pups and kept us updated while we were away, and went above and beyond by coming back to check in on our girls and feed them when our flight connections failed and our homecoming was delayed. My husband and I are grateful she looked after our dogs so well, she made us all feel like family.”
“Claudia was EXCELLENT! She was on time, friendly, and sooo good with our old dog and our new puppy! We will definitely book her in the future. Hire her if you want to feel self assured that your pets and house are taken the best care of while you are away.”
About: It is important to me that our furry family members are taken care of and receive the care they deserve. I am extremely detail-oriented and strive to make sure I care for your family just as well as you do. I currently work a consistent part-time schedule along with attending online college so there should be little to no time conflicts. I keep a planner so I have a clear idea of what my schedule looks like. I have experience with giving medication to pets of different temperaments along with handling cases of food aggression. I ask owners to provide detailed lists of what is needed as well as actions I could take in case things go awry. I usually make the effort to contact owners with updates on pets and with questions when necessary.
“Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!”
“We came home to an unusually calm and well-mannered dog. Even after meeting our strong-willed black lab with OCD, Aicha went out of her way to accommodate our lengthy list of requests. We will definitely be rebooking soon. Edit: oh, and she organized our fridge. Nice touch to come home to”
About: Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.
“Ava was very communicative and graciously stayed overnight to hang with my pups. She checked in and sent pictures of their time while I was away. Many thanks to her and would rebook.”
“First time ever booking with Rover or having my dog cared for while I was away. She is a handful!!! But I came back and Dustin had already gotten her used to the "Gentle Leader" leash......where did my crazy dog go that pulled my arms off???!!! She was transformed. Just enough discipline balanced with lots of love. I was super relieved to leave her in his care- he is excellent. (although I dont want too many people to book him so that he has no time for me again....)”
About: I have broad experience for caring for cats/dogs of all ages. I have experience with puppy/kitten care from days old on up. I also have extensive senior care experience. I am currently available Monday through Sunday. I can do overnight care, 24/7 care, check in and feedings and/or play time, play dates, and walking. Currently I have an elderly dog that’s 14 and 3 cats ages ranging from 3 years old to 15 years old. They are indoor pets. I do have a huge fenced in backyard that I allow the pets to roam on occasion.
“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”
“Great experience with Rene! He watched Karma in my home while I was away in Reno, followed all directions, communicated great, and took excellent care of him — all at a very reasonable price. Reliable, attentive, and trustworthy — highly recommend!”
About: All of my life I've grown up with animals. (Dogs, specifically.) Before I went off to college my cousin, whom I'd been living with at the time, adopted a german shepherd. This german shepherd, Bauer, became like my own. I watched him go from tiny little puppy, to this massive energetic and sweet protector. I am experienced in most areas surrounding pet ownership and responsibilities. I am very nurturing and energetic, making me just the person to take care of your cherished. I follow instruction well, and I'm also experienced in cat care as well. Just a few years ago I adopted two kittens, Panther and Jaguar, who both grew up very quickly. Unfortunately, I had to move a few momths ago and could not accommodate for them both. I, then, made the decision to leave them in the good hands of my neighbor at the time. Lastly, I am a Sociology student at Santa Rosa Junior College with an interest in basic needs, equity, and how pets play a vital role in overall health. I'm currently working on research involving these topics! I work from home and I have a 2 year old. With that being said, I’m up early and my schedule is pretty flexible given my toddler keeps me on my toes! My apartment building is indoor so no worries necessarily about your fur baby if they’re escape artists. I don’t have a balcony or yard so we’ll just get that leash on and go explore!
“I’ve never felt so comfortable and anxiety free leaving my beloved animals while on a trip. So grateful for her wonderful care, clear and detailed communication, and the ease all around.”
“We had a great experience working with Jazmin! She stayed in our home for two nights, treated our house with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she truly loved our pups. She sent us frequent photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind and she even surprised the pups with pup cups as a special treat 🐶❤️ We could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My girl was so well loved, cared for, took her ok so many walks and adventures and was such a great communicator. Thank you Janessa for being amazing!”

Sophie was prompt and very patient with our needy pup Delta. Sophie and her husband Xavier stayed over 2 nights in our house with Delta. I was happy to have them both just in case of an emergency. They were busy walking her 3 times a day. Both are animal lovers and even helped Delta with a recent bee sting by applying medication to Delta while we were away. Sophie will be very protective and caring for your fur baby. I highly recommend her. Thanks again Sophie and Xavier ❣️
Domynique, is fantastic she is always responsive and always keeps up with updates. This is the second time she has watched Nanea (2yo pitty mix) I swear I have not seen Nanea so happy with another person as she is with Domynique. I would 100% recommend using Domynique for your pups.
Laura has been the most flexible, understanding, and easiest sitter - my boys love when she stops by. She texts and sends photos, which brings peace of mind at work. I haven’t found the right person to help ever since I moved back to Sacramento, so I’m lucky she and I connected. Trust me y’all, shes the one! Thank you Laura ✨
Julia recently cared for our 16 year old cat, Leaux, over night/s in our home. She did a fantastic job with him, following his frequent meal plan and giving him lots of cuddles. She also took extra care to calm him during the night when he cried out (several times) as he has a little older kitty dementia. She also took extra good care of our home. She sent me pictures and kept excellent communication along the way. It’s been a day since I’ve gotten home and he still keeps going into the guest room to see if she’s still there. He misses her. Don’t hesitate to book Julia for your pet.
This was Haile's first overnight stay with Bob and we are so happy we found her. She sends regular pictures and updates and lets us know when she arrives and leaves. Bob is obviously very happy to snuggle with her on the couch, and she's familiar with his medicines, including giving him an inhaler. We are looking forward to future stays with Haile!
I came home to my pets and household in excellent shape after a week away. My elderly Swissie is no easy chore, with many needs and health concerns, and Nhi handled everything perfectly. I'm grateful for her attention to detail and concern for the animals and my home. I look forward to booking 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 Florin 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 Florin 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 Florin 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.
