“Aicha has been so great with our dog. He has had some special needs at times and she is always accommodating and responsive with updates. We have had both last minute done drop requests and in-home stays and she has been awesome to work with. Highly recommend.”
“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”
“Trinity did a great job with my temperamental chihuahua terrier mix. He doesn’t like many people but he took a liking to her right away. She was very responsive in her communication and flexible for our specific needs.”
“Janessa & John were amazing and I had no concerns about leaving my Littles (2) in their good hands. I would definitely recommend their services and will have them back again.”
“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”
“She took very good care of our black Shepherd and our Cairin terrier. The terrier was the needy one not the shepherd, but she took special care with the Shepherd to the shed him. He looks like he lost 10 pounds Thank you, Alma for everything you did while we were gone”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful! She stayed overnight with my kitties and took excellent care of them and my home. It was so nice to get away and not have to worry about anything. I’m so happy I found her! I will definitely book her again next time I’m out of town. Thank you Olivia!”
“Keishla is such a sweetheart! I booked with her for housesitting and taking care of my dogs. She was VERY good with both my dogs. One is a 12 year old maltipoo, and the other is a 2 year old working line German shepherd. She walked them, fed them according to their schedules, played with them and spoke to them, gave them cuddles. She was very gentle, but knew how to be firm with commands as needed (my German shepherd needs a firmer command). She also watered the plants, and cleaned after herself and the doggies before she left. She kept me updated daily with detail and photos. 10/10 recommend her!”
“Mel did great with sitting our three dogs, including a ten month old puppy! She was very communicative and sent a ton of adorable pictures. They were very happy at the end of her stay, as were my partner and I. We can't wait to book with her again.”
“My 200 pound mastiff was being as uncooperative as he could be when Christina was meeting his twice daily medical needs. She remained calm, patient and caring the entire time. I could not ask for more diligent and loving care for my dogs.”
“Jenna was absolutely wonderful! Extremely communicative and kept us updated which I really appreciated. She left our home in tip top shape and our pets were very well taken care of. We’ve already rebooked her for her services! 11/10 recommend”
“Noel took great care of our puppy Tito! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again.”

“The best! This was Zeus’s first overnight without me, and he was so well taken care of, and so happy to see me when I got home! Dustin even took him for a long walk in the morning before I arrived! Can’t wait to have him back! One million stars ⭐️”
“Marina is a great pet sitter and our two golden retrievers adore her. She has a nice calm manner around them and we would ask her to pet sit again without hesitation.”
“Claudia was great! Sent photos throughout the day and responded quickly when I checked in. Also made my dogs their picky/spoiled lunch and sent photos afterward. Also sent me updates as to how much they ate. I’ll use Claudia again whenever needed - you should too. They’re in good hands.”
“Alayna was excellent with Lolo, and sent us photos regularly. It was really easy to communicate and set up a meet and greet too. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we go out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Freeport
Brandon was great! From the minute he introduced himself, Max treated him like he belonged there. Brandon knew what Max was doing when he pushed himsef through his legs and grabbed his wrist to take him somewhere. The dogs were relaxed when I came home, unlike their visit to the doggie hotel. Brandon is polite and responsible. I will reach out to him again when I travel.
Sarah is incredible and if you have the chance to book her, you will not regret it! She’s beyond reliable and absolutely understands pets and pet care. I’ve never felt as confident with a pet sitter as I do with her. Whether it’s house sitting or drop-ins, she goes above and beyond. If you’re wondering if she’s the right fit— just book it! You won’t find better!
Susan was absolutely amazing! She is loving, professional, extremely trustworthy, and respectful. Our dog Sadie and our cat Lily fell in love with her immediately. It was obvious from all the photos she sent us while we were gone. She has become a friend to both my husband and I, and of course Sadie and Lily.

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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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 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.
