About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. Also, I have been trusted to check on my neighbor's pets. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter where I fed cats and dogs. Also I walked the dogs. I'm currently taking college classes part time, so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your pets. Also, helping others always makes my day. I keep track of how often a pet needs to be feed and always check their water. Also, I pet them and say hi if they are friendly or give them space if they are shy. When walking a dog I make sure their leash is secure and their collar comfortable. Safety and organization is my priority. I keep notes on an individual pet's needs.
“Eliza was an amazing sitter for our elderly dog, cat, and rabbit! I can't imagine a better choice - her loving care and attention to detail made us feel so much better leaving them. She went above and beyond dealing with muscle aches in our dog, applying heat and ice. Great communication with lots of updates, photos and videos. I highly recommend Eliza!”
“Alejandra has watched our two Corgis twice now and is fabulous! They are so excited when she arrived they adore her. She walks them regularly and sends us updates as well. She is always our first choice for watching our dogs.”
“Christina was very great with our anxious pup. She was very attentive and was quick to get our dog very comfortable with her. She even used a few techniques to calm her down when needed.”
“Best rover we’ve ever had! Extremely communicative, sends multiple photos and updates daily. Has no problem playing with our high energy dog multiple times a day or snuggling with our anxious cat. We recommend him without reservation.”
“Allison was the absolute sweetest! I felt so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for our two dogs. She checked in with adorable photos several times over the weekend, the house was just as we left it, and I could tell she just really loved being with our dogs which is the best feeling. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“We love Jess!!! She’s an amazing communicator and loves our fur babies as if they were her own. They love her! Jess is respectful of your space and we are just so grateful to have found her.💜”
“Lee took fantastic care of our pets and home! I knew we were in excellent hands at the initial meet and greet — our dog is very friendly, but she’s not usually affectionate with new people. But the moment Lee arrived, Paprika greeted her like an old friend. And it was obvious in all the photo updates we received that both pets were enjoying themselves and seemed to really like and trust Lee (our cat even allowed Lee to pet her belly fluff, truly the highest honor). Lee stayed in touch throughout our trip, with lots of photos and reassurances that our girls were doing well, we came home to a clean house and two very happy pets — what more could we ask for? I would absolutely recommend Lee as a sitter, and would rebook with her anytime!”
“Bryan did such an amazing job with my two pups, a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog. He sent me multiple updates, walked them a ton and sent me photos. I’d highly recommend him!!”
“Ryleigh took such great care of Ruby and was great about sending multiple pictures every day while I was gone. This is the second I’ve worked with Ryleigh and I’ll definitely have her stay with Ruby again in the future.”
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
“Chardonay and Ben are officially added to my list of dependable house and dog sitters! They took care of my two dogs, Fernando and Dolly, at my house while I was away for 4 days and I could not be more pleased. First and foremost, both the dogs were obviously well cared for and I received photo updates. From the get-go, Nando and Dolly took to Chardonay and Ben right away, and I felt reassured and could tell they were at ease with caring for dogs. Second, the house and yard were in immaculate condition when I returned. Seriously, spotless. Third, they are just super nice and great communicators both off- and online. Highly recommended!!!”

“Ayalene was great! I have a high energy Australian shepherd that has some separation anxiety and can be reactive on leash. She handled everything with ease and followed all my instructions! My dog and cats were super happy, the house was clean when returning, and it felt great knowing my pets and house were safe! Thank you Ayalene for all your help! I would absolutely recommend her and book her again”
“Allyson stayed at our house for a week and watched our dog cam. She was beyond amazing at taking care of Cam and went above and beyond washing the sheets in the house before she left. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Bangyun did an amazing job caring for our senior dogs for the week with tons of special instructions around feeding. The house was perfectly clean when we arrived home and the dogs very happy.”
About: I've been regularly pet sitting for nearly 15 years. As a kid I started letting my neighbors pets out, then moved on to dog walking, then began doing over-night care. I've also lived with dogs and cats since the day I was born! I have experience with both puppies and kittens along with elderly pets, pets who require medications and special attention, and pets with behavioral issues. I am calm, loving, and find caring for animals very rewarding. I currently work part-time from home, so I have lots of free time to spend focus on caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule, and already plan my day around being able to care for my dog. I live in a single-story home with a fully fenced in back yard. I always make sure that cleaning materials and food are kept fully out of reach, and keep my house clean and tidy!
About: Hi, I’m Marci, and I’m your dog’s second best friend! I'm a licensed massage therapist for people, horses and dogs. I'm very intuitive, nurturing and compassionate, and I have been a dog owner for the past 20 years. I work from home part time so I'm home every day, which means I can hang out with your dog all day! I love just about everything about dogs, from the way they curiously sniff the air during walks, to when they eagerly nudge my hand for a pet or massage. I treat all animals like family, and make sure they have what they need and want. If you leave your dog with me, you can rest assured they will be pampered with plenty of love, affection, and patience. I also know canine CPR and have basic medical skills. My goal is to provide a safe, trusted and loving environment for your pet so you wont have to worry while you're away. For additional peace of mind all dogs in our care will wear a GPS collar that can be tracked at all times. I truly feel that dogs are like people -- they are each unique and special in their own way! I would love to know what makes your dog different and unique, down to those hidden quirks and personality traits. Dogs bring out the best in me: my compassion, empathy, love, and encouragement all improve when I spend time with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I promise to shower your dog with all these things, and more! If your dog loves the outdoors, exploration, and long walks, then I’m the right sitter for your! I love to hike and horseback ride on my horse. I love to take my dogs to new places and introduce them to new experiences. One of my favorite seasons is summer, just because I can spend more time outside. However, the cold fall and winter weather means I get to snuggle up with your dog indoors -- either way, it’s a win! In addition to dogs, I have experience with horses, cats, gerbils, rats, hamsters, and birds. I am here to make whatever pet you have feel comfortable, but you’re my client, too! Let me know what you need to feel comfortable leaving your pet with me, including how many updates you would like. I’d love to meet you and your pet, so please contact me to set up a Meet and Greet. I’m sure we’ll be fast friends in no time.

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 Folkenberg 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 Folkenberg 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 Folkenberg 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.
