About: Hi everyone 👋 my name is Jenni and my experience with animals started when I was young. I grew up with dogs all my life and had a Lhasa Apso and Pitbull/Akita mix as my first dogs but now have 2 cats. My boyfriend has his own pet sitting/pet boarding business where I regularly help out. I have 19 years of experience taking care of all kinds of dogs and cats, including, young and senior pets, and bunnies/rabbits. I have experience in administering oral, ear, and eye medication. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Looking forward to working with you and building long lasting friendships and partnerships with you and your pet. 🌞 Pet care fits into my schedule very well as I work locally which gives me the option to work remotely or in person. Therefore, I have a flexible schedule to adjust to the times you need help with. The care I provide for the animals that I will be watching while in their house is following the same schedule routine and safety plans the owners have for their own pet. During the meet & greet I love to learn about the owners pets so I can make sure to give the same quality of care that the owners give☺️
“Erica did once again a superb job with my bunnies staying overnight in my house and I can highly recommend her as a wonderful, caring, attentive and professional petsitter.”
“Karachi took outstanding care of my two pups in my home while we were away. She sent regular updates with adorable pics and videos, which put my mind at ease that all was well. One of my dogs was getting over an ear infection and she dutifully administered his meds and ear wash. Not only did we return home to happy dogs, but Karachi left the house spotlessly clean. We will definitely plan to book again with Karachi and would recommend her completely!”
“Summar is warm, patient, and clearly a natural with animals. She understood our sometimes quirky dog, sent regular updates and photos, and handled everything with calm, reliable confidence including when our alarm randomly went off and the housekeepers showed up unexpectedly (she also speaks Spanish!). We never once worried while she was with Oz and we will be asking her back again and again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter.”
“Once again, we entrusted our energetic pooch, Truman, to Kevin's care, and once again, we couldn't be happier! Kevin's professionalism, patience, and genuine dedication to Truman shone through, just like the first time. Despite Truman's slight behavioral quirks, Kevin expertly managed him, ensuring he received the exercise and attention he needed. Returning home to find Truman relaxed and content speaks volumes about Kevin's dedication and skill as a pet sitter. Regular updates and photos kept us reassured throughout our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks, Kevin, for another fantastic experience!”
“We hired Lesly for a two week house sitting for our dog Junie. Since this was a long stay we needed someone that we felt we could trust and Lesly did a great job! She sent us photos almost everyday and was very fast with her communication. Despite the long stay our house was clean and organized when we returned. We would highly recommend Lesly for looking after your pets.”
“Melissa took great care of my senior dog and the house while I was on a long trip. She communicated daily with photos, watered my plants and was very easy to work with. I would recommend her highly!”
“Juna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She pet sat for our 2 dogs and 2 cats… 3 out of the 4 are seniors and take medication and one special needs dog who went blind 6 months ago. She handled our “motley crew” with such care and grace and communicated with us regularly making sure we knew they were doing fine. We will definitely be using Juna again to care for our animals.”
“Michaela watched our nervous chihuahua while we were in town. She was great with our dog, sent lots of pictures and was great to work with. We will be using her again!”
“Andrea went over and beyond. Kaya was well cared for and happy, the house was left in great shape, and when bad weather threatened to delay our return home, Andrea worked with us to be sure Kaya care was covered! Highly recommend!”
“Lizabethe did a great job taking care of my Cupid. She kept me updated daily and stayed at the house to keep him company. I came home to a happy pup. I would highly recommend using her as your dog sitter!”
“Ixchel stepped in at the last minute to watch our dog, Rue. Rue can be shy and anxious around new people, and Ixchel knew exactly how to approach her. She provided regular updates and we felt relieved knowing Rue was in good hands. Would recommend her services!”
“Vana was incredibly friendly, communicative, and caring for her stay in our home with our (huge) pup, Wrigley. She checked in as requested and made sure to ask questions to provide him the best care. Not only that, but the house was exactly as we left it on return. We would book with Vana again in the future (and Wrigley seems like he would be a fan, too).”
“Catherine stayed at our house taking care of our young cats Lyle and Vienna, and the house, for 9 days. She did a terrific job. The cats were in wonderful shape and so was our house. We hope to use her services again.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”
“Lauren is reliable and has great communication. She is very sweet with our senior dog and takes excellent care of her. She is also a clean and respectful house guest. We really appreciate her and highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs, and a few cats, for many years. Friends and family know how much I love animals, so most of my past sitting experience has fallen into my lap. Once, a family friend who had moved to California flew me out to take care of her Hungarian Vizsla while she was away. I have experience with senior animals, including understanding mobility issues and giving supplements along with meals I currently work part-time and remote, so I am very flexible with my schedule. I occasionally have scheduled calls, but they aren't usually long, and I can work around them pretty easily. I'm always happy to play games with pets, whether that's throwing a ball to be retrieved, or exploring something else in the toy collection. But I'm also happy to let the dog or cat lie down and rest, while checking in regularly to make sure that they don't need an outdoor break or water refill, etc.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Friendship Village is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Friendship Village
Annah and Meara were absolutely fantastic! They handled my anxious boy Boomer like pros, and the four night stay could not have gone smoother. They provided updates and photos and communicated regularly, which was incredibly reassuring. They also stayed late with Boomer when my return flight was delayed. Could not recommend them more highly!
Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog! We could quickly tell she was trustworthy and dependable. She was proactive, made sure he had his medication, was fed, and got plenty of love. We appreciated the pics and updates, and Jennifer left our home in sparkling condition. We'll definitely be working with Jennifer again!
Noah was great! He spent the weekend in my apartment with my Labrador retriever. Noah kept me updated and sent pictures of the many walks he took Benny out on during his stay. I arrived home to a happy dog and a tidy apartment! I will definitely book with Noah again.
Jessica is our go-to dog sitter when we leave town! She is so good with our high energy Aussie and takes great care of our home, always leaving it better than she found it. It’s not easy to leave your dog with a sitter, so trust me Jessica is the BEST and we trust her completely with ours!
Erica took amazing care of our 3 dogs, including our senior dog who has health issues (needs medications and wears a diaper). Erica was extremely professional and a great communicator during her stay (lots of pictures). She clearly loves dogs and our dogs loved her. We highly recommend!
My pups and cat love when Deniz house sits them! On her last stay most of my pets ended up getting sick and she took great care of them cleaning up and even going out of her way to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy for one of them. My senior is on several meds and she is able to follow the complicated schedule including last-minute updates when we needed to add in a new prescription.
Kenneth was absolutely amazing with Bella! From the moment we met him, he was polite, professional, and clearly had a natural way with her. It was so reassuring to know Bella was in such capable and caring hands. I truly cannot recommend Kenneth enough, if you're looking for a sitter, look no further!
Gabriela did a wonderful job housesitting and taking care of my cat Bob. He’s an only cat and really thrives off of human love and attention. Because of this, I often get nervous and guilty leaving town. But Gabriela gave Bob tons of love and did an excellent job making sure he got plenty of exercise and stimulation.
Victoria was so great! She was very responsive and wonderful with communication. We had a somewhat last minute out of trip plan and she made time to come over to meet our pets before the weekend. She was prepared and had all of their info at her fingertips. Over the weekend we were away she kept in contact and sent the cutest pictures. We had a better time knowing our pets were in such good and caring hands with Victoria.

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 Friendship Village 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 Friendship Village 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 Friendship Village 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.
