“Renee took fantastic care of my dog while I was away and clearly loved on him totally! She sent great videos of their walking adventures and him playing. The house was in terrific condition when I got home. I look forward to booking with Renee again when I travel. I trust her to keep my fur child safe and happy. Thanks Renee!”
“We booked Joshua pretty last minute to house/dog sit for us over Christmas week, and we could not have asked for a better experience. He took exceptional care of our dog, Haru... sending tons of photos and updates throughout the day, every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Haru was truly loved and well cared for. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. He vacuumed, stripped the bed, and cleaned the counters -- such a thoughtful and appreciated touch after traveling. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your dog (and your home) with care, attention, and kindness.”
“Veronica took great care of our pups and home while we were away! She provided regular updates and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. And she very graciously tidied up the house before she left. Our pups can be a handful, especially our puppy Leo who is very energetic and mouthy. But Veronica took it all in stride and was very patient with them. We returned to three very happy pups! We will definitely be booking with Veronica again!”
“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”
“Kaylie is great at communicating and sending pictures of the gang while she is watching them. When I come home the animals are not anxious or upset, so I know they got lots of great attention and love while I was away. This gives me such peace of mind while we are away.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Deloris! She took such great care of Holly and our home, and from day one her communication made everything so easy and stress-free.”
“Svitlana was great talking care of our house, plants, one dog and one cat. Things went really well overall, just a few little miscommunications but some of those were 100% our fault. Everything was left super clean, and she managed medications for both pets as necessary. Would definitely book her again if schedules align.”
“Olena took such good care of our two kitties! Always have anxiety when we both travel together but Olena made everything so easy and communicated throughout our trip. She also sent the cutest pics and great updates on how they were doing. Highly recommend her for your fur babies! She was terrific!”
“Robin and Ahmed are truly amazing people!! We are so blessed to have found them on Rover. They took exceptional care of our dog Bandit. They sent pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing…they even picked us up from the airport when we returned! We highly recommend them to take care of your pet!!!”
“Kari was a fabulous caretaker for Wren and our home. Our dog enjoyed multiple long walks and we came back to happy and healthy pup. She kept our home tidy and even cleaned up some small fallen branches in the backyard. Thank you for going by the extra mile with photos, reassurances, and checking on our flight status to ensure we traveled back safely. You’re fabulous!”
“Tara did an excellent job caring for our two senior dogs. They both take medication and she followed the directions exactly, making sure they both got what they needed and on time. She also sent us lots of videos and photos which was super helpful. We were gone for 3 weeks and we were able to relax knowing that our dogs were in good hands. I think she actually took better care of them than we do. Don't hesitate to book Tara for your next trip, especially if you have special needs or older dogs. Communication was great and she left the house in good shape for our return. I recommend Tara without reservation and I would definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Molly did such a lovely job with our Bailey! She was super communicative and on top of everything Bailey needed for the weekend. I’d absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have a senior dog and cat, and have always had multiple cats and foster dogs in my home. I will walk, play, and snuggle your pets like they are my own!

I also have experience with giving medication and taking care of older animals. I will snuggle them and give them lots of love while you're gone!
“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs. It really made us feel that our dogs were in good hands and being well taken care of. Would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend.”
“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”
“Had a sitter cancel the evening before sitting. Madeline totally stepped up and took great care of my pup and gave me plenty of cute pics and updates through the day.”
“Iuliia Watched our two boys at our home while we were on vacation. It was our first time using her and at our meet and greet both dogs gravitated to her so quickly. The dogs seemed very at ease when we got home and the house was exactly how we left it. She sent regular updates on both boys and tended to some of the specific needs of our elderly dog. We would definitely love to use her again.”

Auntie Angie as we call her is an outstanding dog sitter. We cannot give her enough praise. She stayed in our home for a three night stay with our crazy fun sweet 9 yo Boston Terrier Buster whom has really bad separation anxiety. But because Auntie Angie is so good at pup sitting and her love toward animals Buster did great while we were away. Buster loves Auntie too!! Which is one big thing we look at when we do a meet and greet. She kept us up to date each day. Sent pictures often and let us know how he was doing. If we reached out she immediately responded as to how he was doing and with pictures. Would highly recommend Auntie Angie to everyone. We will definitely be booking Auntie Angje again when we need to go out of town. Thank you again Auntie Angie. We look forward to working with again soon.
Nathalie was extremely helpful in responding to a last-minute request to watch my dog. He has separation anxiety, and I felt safe leaving him with her. She was very attentive to him and kept me updated throughout. I'm very grateful for her help and will definitely be reaching out to her again.
Eric was amazing to work with on our very first Rover booking. He was incredibly communicative throughout our time away and due to that, we felt at ease with him watching our dog and staying at our house. We definitely recommend Eric and would reach out to him again in the future.
Tara was wonderful! She went at Kevin's pace & established trust with him over the course of the days. I got lots of pictures & replies when I reached out to see how he was doing. The house was left exactly as it was when she arrived. We will absolutely have Tara watch our pup again.
Kaiya was amazing with my 2 dogs. She stayed in our home and made sure they felt comfortable with her and gave them an endless supply of belly rubs, pats, and attention which I know they loved. We would definitely have her and Charles take care of our pups again.
A+++ Sitter We loved Gem. She sat for our Buster all weekend. And Buster is a challenge actually Buster and myself is a challenge both us are nervous. Buster has separation anxiety and I have it too. But Gem was calm and worked through both of our issues like a champ. I was very impressed and Buster ended up loving his Auntie Gem and we will be reaching out to her in the future if she will have us. 😉😄😄😄Thank you so much for all you did for us Gem. You were amazing!! ~Rachel Drew and Buster

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 Franconia 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 Franconia 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 Franconia 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!

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 .

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.
