About: You can call me Ellie for short! I’ve taken care of friends and family pets, from puppies to senior pets! I can pretty much match the dogs energy whether they are high energy or low energy! I have open weekends, and I’m very flexible. During the week my schedule is a little strict but I can always make adjustments if needed to! I go based off what your pets routine is, Im there to make them happy and as comfortable as possible. I go off their routines, eating schedules, etc. I work with it and do my best to make sure the pets are fed, napped and happy!
“Tracey did a wonderful job taking care of all my animals. My trip was last minute and I feel very lucky to have found such a great sitter. My dog Lily appears to have had a wonderful time in my absence! I would recommend her highly.”
“Kathy is great! I felt completely comfortable leaving my precious babies in her care and really got to enjoy my trip away. Not only did Kathy take excellent care of the dogs, she helped my boy (Merle) manage through fireworks! I came home and braced myself during more fireworks following the holiday, only to find, Merle was not stressed over them at all. Not only that, he didn't bark as he usually does! What a surprise! I am so thankful!”
“Emilie was very responsive and took good care of our cat Lenny! I felt confident he was in good hands. Emilie left the place neat and tidy and was easy to reach and communicate with. I would use Emilie again!”
“Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana”
“Our dogs loved Roselle! We came home to very happy dogs. Most importantly, the dogs were not stressed at all after we were gone a few days. After their initial excitement when we got home, they settled right in like we had never left. She gave them their medications and did everything according to our instructions with taking care of all three dogs as well as our house.”
“Dan and Allison were great sitters! They took my last minute request and had great communication from the start. They took great care of my mini frenchie Scarlet. They sent photo updates and left the house spotlessly clean exactly how I left it. Would definitely hire them again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.
About: I have been caring for animals all of my life. I have pet/house sat for many friends, family members and neighbors throughout my life. I am told that I bring a soothing, calm presence that puts both humans and animals at ease. I deeply love animals. I am a naturally neat person so I will also keep your home clean and bring in mail, water plants, etc. I am highly responsible and retired from doing hospice work. I do grief support remote work on a part time basis. I am in great health, a meditator since high school and highly experienced in caring for all types of pets. If you choose me to care for your beloved pets and home, I will make sure that they feel safe, comfortable and nurtured and will give them all the play, exercise and attention they desire. I am local so am able to meet with you beforehand to ensure it is a good fit. I work remotely using my own phone on a part time basis providing grief support to people so I can accept pet/house sitting gigs. I can physically be there to help your animal companions feel safe and secure while you are away. I am specifically looking for housesitting/petsitting gigs. In a client's home, I make sure that I adhere to the schedule already set by the owners. I find that this helps animals with anxiety about their human companions being away. I also provide calm, loving presence which helps them feel comfortable and secure. I take them for walks, play, snuggle, basically whatever they do regularly with their humans. But I also respect boundaries, for instance, I snuggle with pets only if they initiate it and/or are into it. I deeply love animals and can easily tune into their needs and wants.
“Alison did a great job stepping in on short notice for a holiday weekend housesitting; she provided excellent care for my dog, has good communication, and everything in the house was well taken care of. She sent nice photos of my dog to keep me updated. She’s knowledgeable about dogs and asked great questions to get an accurate picture of my dog’s particular needs. Reliable and timely, I’d hire her again.”
“Shirley did an amazing job at our house with our dog Rocky and 2 cats. We will definitely be coming back to her in the future as our first choice when we travel. Thank you Shirley.”
“Rachel has such a calming energy which was perfect for our pups who get a little anxious while we are away. Was great to have piece of mind knowing she was there while I was away for the full day. Appreciated the updates and picts as well. Thank you!!”
“Seth watched our dog Blue in our home for four nights, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. He was professional, respectful, and easy to communicate with the entire time. What stood out most was how much genuine time he spent with Blue. He didn’t just cover the basics, he played all of Blue’s favorite games, like chasing him around the couch and playing with his favorite toys. It was clear he really cared about making sure Blue was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. When we got home, Blue was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for which is exactly what you hope for when you leave your dog with someone. We could tell he hadn’t been stressed at all while we were gone. Seth also took great care of our home and left everything clean and in excellent condition. We’d absolutely work with him again and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter.”

About: I love dogs and I love taking them out and about on walks! I have taken care of many dogs from the age of 2 to 16. My most recent experience includes taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time on my hands to dog sit and take dogs on walks! I take care of pets in clients homes by ensuring the dog has all of its needs met. I always make sure to spend extra quality time with the dog if I noticed that it is feeling sad that its owners are away.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve the same patience, attention, and care we would give our own family. As a dog walker and pet sitter, I focus on making every walk and visit a positive, comfortable experience while keeping your pet’s safety and routine a top priority. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, energy level, favorite activities, and specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs extra cuddles, or simply wants a calm companion, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, loved, and excited to see me again! 🐾 I currently not employed and have alot of flexibility. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love throughout the day. I’m also flexible and understand that every pet has a different routine. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedules so they feel comfortable and at home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. 🐾

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Freedom
I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Ashley to care for Coco. Coco usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but she was comfortable with Ashley right away—which says everything. Ashley was warm, communicative, and clearly a natural with dogs. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear Coco wasn’t just being “watched”—she was genuinely cared for, loved, and engaged. Ashley paid close attention to Coco’s routines and personality, which made a big difference. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a house just as I left it. That level of care and professionalism is rare. I would absolutely trust Ashley again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pet. Coco already misses her!

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 Freedom 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 Freedom 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 Freedom 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.
