Sydney is a very personable lady. She listens well to instructions, and communicates with understanding, acceptance and flexibility. She was available last minute( same day) which was such a relief to us. We look forward to having her be our “go to person” when we need a pup sitter.

Alyssa is truly amazing!!! We are on a mini vacation and due to anxiety issues with one of our two dogs, we were unable to leave our room due to this. Alyssa stepped up to the plate last minute and saved the day. Our dogs instantly fell in love with her. We will without a doubt be using her again.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from guinea pigs to elderly dogs. I am a graduate from the University of Michigan and am studying at Tufts for the next two years. I dog sat after school for a while and took care of puppies, elderly pets, and bunnies. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am busy on Wednesdays, but my weekends and others days of the week are much more flexible. Afternoons are always best but I can make things work! I cannot provide pet care in my home, but I can come to you! I have experience helping older dogs, active, large dogs, giving dogs and cats medication, trimming claws, and going on runs or walks.

Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!

Maddy was really great at communicating and giving updates. She was very easy to work with and was great with Emma. This was our first time using rover and we were a little nervous but Maddy made it very easy and comfortable for us and we were able to have a great time with zero worries!

Heather was a delight to meet. She was responsive, sent several pet photos, and left an update note. she took Bijou on a couple of walks and played with the kitties. The house was in good shape and the pets seemed happy when I returned. I would definitely ask Heather to watch my furry kids again.

Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.

About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.

About: I use to work for my grandmother who would raise dogs, take care of them, and then give someone a dog. I would clean up after dogs in all ways. Take care of the puppies with the moms. I would bathe all the dogs and get them groomed up to go to their new home! I am available after 4:30 P.M. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. After 3:30 P.M. on Wednesdays. And available most times and nights on the weekends! At this moment in time I do not have the ability or place to actually house sit at my home but, I can come to you!

About: I've taken care of several types of species since the age of 10! I treat every animal as my own. I want to keep them happy & healthy while sticking with there daily routine. I am currently a babysitter from 6am-3pm Monday-Friday. My weekends are usually open. I can be flexible! I will make my schedule fit yours!

Lucilla was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and courteous with us, but more importantly she made our nervous and strong-willed dogs feel at ease. She has a calm confidence that dogs will really align with. We look forward to using her to care for our fur babies in the future and would highly recommend her.

About: I have taken care of a few puppies and helped them grow up, stay clean, stay fed and watered, and most importantly stayed entertained. A well entertained puppy/dog stays out of trouble. I currently don't have job so I can be available almost any time of the day. I tend to be a night owl so I can stay as late as need. Your pups will be taken out one at a time (if you have 2 or more), will be exercising and walked, I will follow your feeding schedule and amount per meal, and I am give meds if they are dosed beforehand.

FAQs for House Sitting - Galloway

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 190 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Galloway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Galloway 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 Galloway 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 Galloway 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Galloway. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
