“Mikki was the best! Our pets were well taken care of, our house was cleaner than we left it, and we received communication and updates daily. Absolutely would recommend and will book with again!”

We are so thankful to have such a kind sitter taking care of our pups and will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
About: I’ve had animal companions since I was 6 months old. I was raised with my black lab, who passed of old age when we were both 16. I don’t feel like we own them, they’re family members. I now have two great cats and are hoping to soon have a pup in our mix. I’ve had lizards, aquariums, and lots of pet beds. We’re animal people at my home. I work part time, so I’m happy to provide care over the weekend. I work nights, so I’m happy to work out whatever is needed for morning potty breaks or litter box cleaning during the week. I’m happy to clean as I go caring for your pet. I would love to learn how your kitty likes to play, or play with your pups however gets them running. I volunteered at shelters in other states, my favorite part aside from helping was playing with the dogs. Because cats love to shed, I vacuum frequently at home for their health and ours. We have one automatic litter box and one ‘manual’. I prefer natural litter for dust however whatever your preference is, is my preference for your buddy. I would be happy to clean up accidents and clean up food, and cleaning food and water bowls after use for their happiness. I use enzyme cleaner for accidents because of how thorough it is. After the mess is cleaned, I use a disinfectant if applicable. Please set aside cleaning supplies you would like for me to use.
About: I have been around pets all of my life, dogs and cats alike. I have also had my own pets that I’ve taken care of. I have 3 years of experience privately sitting for friends and acquaintances. I strive to follow the pets routine and respect all boundaries your pat may have. I am available after before 8 am and after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends I am available all day. I do not board in my own home as. I have cats who like their space. When I am taking care of pets I always make sure they have a clean environment including food and water bowls. I speak softly and kindly to pet and show them the attention they need or give them space when they need it due to nerves.
“Jolie is awesome! As soon as my dogs met her they loved her. She stayed in contact throughout stay and sent pictures! Will def rebook again if we ever leave town. Thank you again Jolie!”
“Jill has become our regular dog sitter. She is so great with our senior dog and is the best sitter we’ve ever had. She sends beautiful pictures and is great about updating on how he’s doing each day. We love her!”
“Our giant doofus of a dog loved her. She took care of not only the dog and cat but also two dramatic pigs and two stubborn goats. When we had last-minute scheduling hiccups she was flexible and understanding. We're grateful we found her!”
“Mary was great. She came by our house prior to watching our 2 dogs to meet and see the dogs and house. She was on time and professional. She stayed overnight at our house and watched the pups for 4 days. She sent us pictures of the dogs each day we were gone and when we came home she had a nice note on the counter and left homemade dog treats in the fridge. I will for sure be using Mary again.”
About: Grew up with all sorts of animals, mainly cats and dogs of all sizes. Currently have one of my own and live with 5 other dogs in a house. Just moved to Nashville so hoping to meet all the new doggie faces. Currently working part-time monday through friday and weekends will usually be open to spend as much time as needed with the pets. Just let me know in advance and i can usually make time to help you out. Im living in an apartment with some friends so i would mainly prefer in home dog watching or walking. My roommates have a dog so boarding at my apartment wouldnt be the best option as well.
“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”
About: I have worked with a variety of different animals my entire life large and small with a variety of different needs. I look to provide the care that you expect for your fur babies. I currently own my own business so it allows me to have a flexible schedule in being able to help out others. My schedule allows me to be there when I am most needed. Creating a safe enviroment and fostering trust is important to me as it can help build a working relationship with others and make sure you are feeling secure when finding a pet sitter.
“Doris took such great care of our 12 week old puppy, Gobi! We needed a last minute dog sitter at our house and we are so happy we found Doris. The house was left clean and Gobi was so happy when we came home, so we know he had the best time with her. Thank you, Doris!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child and have spent my life around pets. Through years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing daily care and companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup! My availability is open 7 days a week! I have a dog park in my community. Plenty of time for walks & playtime(indoors and outdoors) I can also crate your baby if needed.
“Highly recommend!! We absolutely loved Jaiden! First time ever using Rover. We were apprehensive about having a stranger come stay at our home while we were out of town. Jaiden was a great communicator, came over to our house and spent some time meeting with us and our pets and came back one more time to get the key. Our dogs immediately loved him and we did too. Jaiden is a wonderful young man, and we will absolutely use him again.”
About: My patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality so I can make them feel safe and comfortable. I also have two of my own dogs back at home so, Im good at taking care of them. I am currently in school during the week. On weekends, I have plenty of flexibility to spend extra time with dogs—going on longer walks, hanging out at home, or keeping them company while their owners are away. I live in a apartment complex, which has designated walking paths, grassy areas, and a calm environment that helps dogs feel comfortable. I keep a tidy, safe space indoors and make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time.”
“Tyler was absolutely amazing. We have a dog who is has bad separation anxiety and him and Tyler connected instantly. He was great with sending pictures and kept the house so clean, so when we came back it looked better than when we left. Will definitely use him again and highly recommended.”
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”

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 Fosterville 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 Fosterville 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 Fosterville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
