“Betty loves Kaleigh so much and Kaleigh is a trooper for taking our girl out in the cold to make sure she gets her walks in!!! I have such peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands while we travel”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing!! She spent quality time with Millie and kept me posted throughout the sitting on how Millie was doing. She went above and beyond to accommodate our sitting needs and last minute booking. I was able to enjoy my trip with absolutely no worries!!! 🥰 Millie and I have definitely made a great friend and will ask Nancy to care for Millie many more times!! Thank you so much for loving our Millie as much as we do !! 💞”
“An excelent review! She was amazing in every way. She took very good care of the dogs with updates constantly. I felt really good about having her in my house. She left it cleaner than I left it for her. My elderly dog left a mess on the floor and she cleaned up which I thought was above what she needed to do. She also made sure my dog had her meds and followed all of my requests and let me know all details. Thank you Mary, next time I need a sitter, callin ya up!”
“Christina was excellent! She took genuine loving care of our three pups and cat. She was on time, with prompt clear communication, nice updates with pics of the “herd” and activities. We would definitely use Christina again when the need arises. High recommend you do too!”
“Ann did a great job watching my pups over a 4 day trip! She sent frequent updates and photos which helped me feel at ease being away from them. I highly recommend Ann to anybody needing reliable pet care!”
About: I have over ten years of animal care experience. From senior dogs and cats to puppies and kittens, I am patient, responsible, and fun. I would love to give your fur baby some love and appreciate your trust in me. I am free on all weekends and holidays. I do work an 8 hour shift monday through friday, 6:45am to 3:15pm. I walk daily so having a companion with me fits in perfectly. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat. I go on daily walks myself so having a fur companion with me would be something I would love!
“Alana was a top notch dog sitter! She stayed with our pups for a week while we were out of town for a family wedding. She took very good care of our husky and pug! Ollie is a young mischievous husky and Rosebud is an elderly blind pug with diabetes. She handled the insulin injections with ease and loved and cared for them as if they were her own. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you Alana!”
“Thanks so much for all you did to keep my furbabies happy! I appreciate you going out of your way to do all that I asked plus the thoughtful little extras like setting out the garbage bag. We had a wonderful time knowing our pups and Bella were having the best care!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!
“Rebecca is a sweet and caring person who loves animals and puts their care first and foremost! We knew from seeing her around town working over the years that she is friendly and very responsible. I have to say that we were not worried leaving our pets in her hands. While, we were away and needed to ask her to take care of a matter for us, she did so with total grace and patience. If, you want to feel totally secure when leaving your pets while your away, please, consider booking Rebecca. You'll thank yourself, later!!!”
“Plachette is amazing. She did a fantastic job staying at our house for a week and watching our bernedoodle, Stormy. They really bonded and I can’t wait for her to watch Stormy again, as I know she will have the best care possible.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Allen
Kaleigh housesat for us and cared for our 2 dogs and cat. We were nervous to leave our dogs with anyone because we have both an ornery puppy and an older dog. Kaleigh took great care of everything including our older dog’s medications and the daily care of our parrot. She sent us lots of photos and made us feel comfortable being away. I would definitely rebook Kaleigh!
Nancy was exceptional. We have a very unique and rigid routine with our dog due to her history, which requires a sitter to remain in our home overnight with limited time out of the home. We have had varying experiences with sitters following her care guidance and took a chance on Nancy after a wonderful meet and greet. Nancy was extremely attentive to all the details of her stay and maintained our routines beautifully. Kova was cared for just as well as she would have been if we were home. Being away for a week and trusting another person to care for your pets can be a challenge, and Nancy was not hesitant to step in to meet this challenge head on. She communicated with us each day and let us know if Kova was feeling unwell or if she had any questions about our care. She quelled our anxieties by keeping us informed of changes. She was flexible as needed and we had no concerns about our girls wellbeing. Nancy cares for our cat as well, who is relatively shy but warmed up quickly! Nancy left our home clean, washed up bedding despite being our guest, and brought in all our mail and deliveries. I would recommend anyone who needs an attentive sitter to meet with Nancy. We will happily have her back again!
I truly can't express how lucky and grateful we are to have found Laurwn. As pet parents, leaving Maple and Hemlock behind when we travel is one of the hardest parts of being away, but she has given us something priceless, complete peace of mind. The biggest testament to how wonderful she is isn't even what we think of her, it's how much Maple and Hemlock love her. They are genuinely excited to see her, comfortable with her, and completely trust her. As dog owners, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your pups aren't just being cared for, but are being loved. It's obvious that she treats them like family, and they adore her right back. She is incredibly responsible, dependable, and always goes above and beyond. During our recent vacation, she was faced with an unexpected situation when our front door wouldn't open. While it was undoubtedly a stressful circumstance, she handled it thoughtfully and responsibly, communicated with us every step of the way, and did what was best for Maple and Hemlock. We were so impressed by her judgment, resourcefulness, and dedication in a situation that no one could have anticipated. Finding someone you trust with your pets is rare. Finding someone your pets love as much as you do is even rarer. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Maple and Hemlock would probably give her ten stars if they could!
Beatriz and Hayden were wonderful with our 14.5 y/o goldendoodle while we were away. They housesat so that Shiloh could be most comfortable in his surroundings. I really appreciated the notes, pictures, and videos that they sent throughout the week. They were comfortable directing Shiloh on the ramp that gets him in and out of the house and did well getting him all of his medicines morning, noon, and night! The house looked perfect when we returned. Great experience all around; I would highly recommend Beatriz and Hayden as house sitters! Shiloh was in great hands! Thank you!
Maddy is amazing! We knew right away that she truly cares about animals and making sure our Girls would have a wonderful day. Three girls .. three personalities! Everything went perfectly! Excellent communication and awesome pics! We have to plan a getaway soon! 😄 The Girls really loved their time together! Cannot say ‘thank you’ enough!

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 Fort Allen 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 Fort Allen 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 Fort Allen 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.
