“Isabel was great! She stayed overnight with our two pups. Sent pictures and updates and the home (and bed) were left just as we left it. Would love to have her back again any time. Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience with Lilly! She took wonderful care of our dogs while staying at our house and kept us updated with photos. She took them to the dog park, gave them plenty of cuddles and attention, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and safe! Especially when the storm came through. One of our dogs can be a little intimidating at first, so we were especially impressed by how quickly she gained his trust. She understood his personality, gave him the space he needed, and before long he was comfortable with her. Which is the sort of peace of mind that can be hard to come by, so that was greatly appreciated! It was obvious that she genuinely cared about them, and we came home to happy, stress free, well loved pups. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: My unique combination of experience, training, personality, and approach to pet care can set them apart from other sitters and make them a preferred choice for pet owners. Pet care can include feeding, providing water, exercise, grooming, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with pets, and can be incorporated into a daily or weekly routine.

But my family has always been big on dogs I've been around them ever since I can remember.🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, timely feedings, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I make pet care a priority and am committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow feeding schedules, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, administer medications if needed, and give plenty of affection and supervision. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: I’m Mark. I live in Manhattan with my wife, dog, and 16 year-old cat. I’ve had Dalmatians (high energy, stubborn) since I was a kid. I have experience with companion dogs, working dogs, elderly dogs, and have even helped my wife train our current pup (Pepper) as a registered therapy dog. I’ll make sure to take good care of your four-legged friends whether it’s on walks, drop-ins, or house sitting if needed! I recently left the Army and am figuring out what I want to do next. This means I’m free in the mornings and afternoons (9-3) weekdays and weekends for walks and drop-ins. I can accommodate house sitting on weekends with some advance notice. I take my own dog on hour-long walks most days, and she gets plenty of extra exercise playing in my fenced backyard and helping me dig holes in my garden. I understand all pets may not be up for that much activity and can adjust based on your needs!
About: Since I was 20 years old, family neighbors, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, water, and pet sit their dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs that are older and require meds as well as younger dogs. I don’t have a dog of my own yet but hopefully Rover will get me one step closer and be the final push I need! I am currently a full time student with a part time job but have Wednesday’s and Friday’s off and usually work mornings anyway. I will try my hardest to make most times for walks or drop in visits work but if I can’t I will let you know ASAP! I can feed and water your dogs, keep up with a possibly complicated night time routine, and take them out whenever they need to when I’m with them. I’m also able to take them to specific places if needed to go on walks, whether that be a fenced in park, a dog specific park, or just around your neighborhood!

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 Riley 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 Riley 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 Riley 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.

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.

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
