“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”


“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”


“Kylie has been an outstanding sitter- I have felt so relaxed knowing my babies are cared for. She’s provided regular updates and photos so I know how things are going. I can tell from the images my pets are relaxed and enjoying her!”

“Meghan took such wonderful care of our 3 high energy Aussies! I know they loved every minute she was there with them. We highly recommend her for your pet’s care and will certainly use her again when the need arises!!”

“I have so many great things to say about Analia and I probably won’t fit them all in this review, but I’m going to try. My partner and I were going on a cross country road trip for two weeks and found ourselves in need of a sitter for our two dogs the day we were supposed to leave for our trip. Before we even met, Analia left an incredible impression. She was compassionate, understanding, and flexible. She agreed to watch our dogs and stop by less than 12 hours before we had to leave. Our dogs are still young and in training, and for some people they can be a bit overwhelming. Analia was not phased at all by this, and from our first interactions, I could tell she was going to give just as much love and attention as we would. She had already looked over our care instructions and remembered facts about them, but she really took it a step further by asking how she could continue their training (something that means a lot to us, but we don’t always expect of others because it can be challenging; we were floored by her thoughtfulness and generosity). We left town feeling so secure having Analia taking care of our dogs. Analia continued to exceed expectations throughout our trip. She very intentionally sent updates, photos, and videos nearly every day, was super flexible when we ran out of food because our shipment didn’t come in, and went out of her way to bring our dogs new toys. When our arrival back home was delayed, Analia was incredibly accommodating and watched the dogs for a couple extra days despite it being last minute and her already having other plans. I feel so lucky to have been connected with Analia, not only because she was a great sitter for our dogs, but because she is such a kind and compassionate person, and was someone I thoroughly enjoyed talking to throughout our trip. She truly is a gem, and someone we will continue to trust our dogs with. If you take anything away from this review, it is that you should end your search here and choose Analia, because you will not regret it.”

“Andrew is a very conscientious sitter and we recommend him to anyone. He stayed with our very young toy maltipoo for an evening in our home. Our dog immediately loved him, and ran to the window and cried when he left. From my experience and reading his other reviews, he seems to have a natural way with animals. We will absolutely hire him again in the future.”

About: Everyone who knows me knows I am a dog lover, therefore I have been responsible for taking care of many dogs in my community! I love to take my dogs to trails for lots of exercise! My personal dog is a rescue with a strong hunting instinct; therefore, I have experience with strong dogs who are tough to walk. I am a college student with classes in the morning. My schedule varies day to day, but my love for dogs will make me help out whenever I can! Dogs in my care will get plenty of exercise and love. At home, me and my dog stay very active. I miss her very much while in college and would love to further the fun with dogs here!

“Cabria is by far and away the BEST pet sitter we have EVER had!! I am so glad we found her on rover, and I cannot recommend her enough as a pet sitter. She sat for our Golden Retriever and 4 cats, and sent constant updates with pics and videos. She is the sweetest, also and our fur babies absolutely LOVE her as much as we do. And to top it off, she leaves the house squeaky clean....Honestly, I have never come home to a cleaner house after being away!! And wait, that is not all, she baked and left us chocolate chip cookies to welcome us home! I really cannot even describe in this review how wonderful and amazing Cambria is!! We will be booking her for every trip we have that she is available for, love, love, love her!!!!!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for the last 8 years, on and off. Neighbors, friends from school, and family have trusted me to take care of their furry friends, and I'm excited to start using Rover! I specialize in dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and lots of playtime! I'm a junior at Florida State University, with a flexible school schedule. I have availability on days where I don't have classes to tend to your pet care needs! I live in a smoke free, clean 2x2 apartment. I care for pets in my home by making sure they are safe from any dangerous objects, feeding consistently at a certain schedule, and making sure pets are monitored.

About: I am observant and attentive to animal needs. I’ve worked as a barn hand for 40 horses, volunteered with wildlife rescue, and completed pet & equine first aid training. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll provide reliable, loving care and plenty of attention. I’ve recently relocated to Tallahassee from Oregon. I plan to attend school part-time in the fall 2026. I’m not seeking other employment at this time. My willingness & availability are open and my car is dependable! I’m willing to check in on your pet or stay the night. Either way I can be trusted to treat your home respectfully and follow routine care for your pet.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had both dogs and cats since I was a young child. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of providing consistent care, patience, and love. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors. My responsibilities have included feeding, refreshing water, administering oral medications when needed, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, picking up after pets, playing with them, providing companionship, and making sure they stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. A few months ago, my boyfriend and I found an 8-year-old dog who was a stray in the woods. He lives with my boyfriend so you won’t have to worry about your pet in case they do not do well with other dogs. Welcoming him into our lives has been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me even more about earning a dog’s trust, being patient, and understanding that every pet has unique needs and a different personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work full-time, but I’m off all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, which gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I’m also available after 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I keep the home clean by cleaning up after pets and making sure food and water areas stay tidy. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. I follow all care instructions carefully and respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home.
“Lacy and Tally took wonderful care of our fur babies for a long stay over Christmas and NYE! They sent regular updates and photos that made us feel like the babies were getting lots of snuggles and being well taken care of. It was great to have that peace of mind over such a long trip. And the house was in great condition when we got back. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lacy and Tally or to book them again.”

About: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I've been dog sitting for over a year and had my own dogs for more than 7 years. Caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I don't see Rover as just a job, it's more like a hobby that I really enjoy. Since I can't have a dog of my own right now, caring for other people's dogs allows me to enjoy their company and give them lots of love and attention I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy multiple walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of companionship. I live in a spacious home with a large backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. Since I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow each pet's routine and owner's instructions carefully to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care ❤️🐶
About: I’ve grown up with pets. My parents also used to be breeders. I’ve watched pets. I have a bunch of pets. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve been around pets. I’ve changed pets specifically I’ve had between one dog to six at a time. I’m very used to cats and dogs. Pet care I do it every single day when I get home from school like washing our dogs weekly, feeding them and doing just things on a weekly monthly or daily scheduled based on each of our pets needs and what animal it is. Like if it is our cats, dogs, or our turtle I treat all animals with care as if they’re like children. I think it’s very important to treat animals with care or like they’re another human because they cannot communicate and I believe showing trust in an animal is extremely important. I will always have treats on me just in case All of the pets in my home experience constant love and they’re always around people and very social.

About: I’ve taken in dogs that didn’t have a home to go to and we’re facing being put down. I was housing 5 large dogs at one point, found great homes for all of them. I own two dogs myself at Home. I’m a solo business owner for a small business, I’m able to set my own schedule meaning nothing will get in the way of me providing proper care for customers pets. I house sit cats a handful of times each year, mainly when people go on vacation and need somebody to stop by and feed and clean litter. I own two dogs at home now and care for them everyday.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always had a natural love for animals. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including puppies, and have taught many of my own dogs basic commands like sit, lay down, shake, spin, and roll over. I’m also comfortable helping puppies learn potty routines and providing lots of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. I love keeping dogs active and happy! Whether it’s a long walk, a nature trail, a hike, or a fun day by the lake, I enjoy giving dogs plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and cared for when you’re away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and extended stays. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can give your pets plenty of one-on-one attention rather than simply checking in and leaving. I’m happy to work around your routine and your pet’s individual needs, whether they need a quick potty break or lots of exercise and companionship. 🐾❤️ Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. My home has a fenced-in area where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I always supervise outdoor time. I also love keeping dogs active and engaged through walks, nature trails, and trips to the lake when appropriate. I’m happy to follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any house rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home and belongings with the same respect I would want for my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone requires trust, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾❤️
About: I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles, your dog is always in good hands with me. Since I’m not currently working a full-time job, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. I’m able to be fully present and make sure each pet gets plenty of care, playtime, and companionship. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised at all times. In a client’s home, I respect their space while giving their pet the same level of care, attention, and affection they’re used to. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and right at home.
About: My background as a Pre-Vet student with 400+ hours of volunteer experience in shelters and therapeutic programs helps me daily in this field . I'm calm and confident with all temperaments—skilled in easing anxious pets, entertaining energetic pups, and providing gentle care for animals of all . Animal care is my passion, and I display that dedicated, high-level attention to every pet I sit. As a college student, my schedule includes flexible breaks between classes and labs, making it easy to fit in regular drop ins, walks, and playtime. Evenings and weekends are more likely to be open for extended care and house sitting. When caring for pets in your home, safety and respect are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and house rules while keeping your space clean and secure, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Braden 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 Braden 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 Fort Braden 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
