About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes including a 30lb beagle and a 105lb black lab. I lived on a farm with horses, cows, goats, and chickens so I know how to work with animals. My black lab was a rescue who loved to pull on walks, lunge at cars, and be reactive around dogs and I enjoy the process of teaching dogs how to walk properly and safely, especially near vehicles. I also enjoy training basic commands like sit, stay, paw, spin, and recall. I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule where I am able to play, train, and walk the dogs before work, during lunch break, and after work. My Wife and I live in a 4 bedroom house with plenty of room and no other pets. We live on a private HOA dirt road with minimal traffic. Typically when doing doggy-daycare, I will do a short walk in the morning, and longer walk at lunch 30-60min, and another short walk in the afternoon.
“Krystina was the best and we will definitely be using her again!!! She stayed at our place with our boys and the house was spotless when we returned. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed! She followed all of our instructions to the T! It was obvious she really cared. We highly recommend Krystina!”
“Rebekah did a great job house sitting for us! She watered plants, brought in mail and newspapers as well as caring for our two dogs. Rebekah sent pictures and communicated daily with me which really helped me feel comfortable that my fur kids were in good hands. I will certainly use her again!”
“Skyler was an excellent house sitter. He took good care of our pets and took ZeeBee for a long walk that we know she thoroughly enjoyed. He left the house clean. We would gladly have Skyler back to house sit for us!”
“Victoria was amazing. Jax had better care with her than he normally gets when we are home. Victoria sent regular updates with pictures and videos. She was completely trustworthy staying at our house. I can't say enough good things about the care she have to Jax.”
“Esther was amazing! Prompt to respond, sent us photos and updates daily while we were gone, and left our home just as clean (if not better) than before we left. We could tell that our pups were well cared for - even our high energy boy was exhausted when we got back! We had an interesting time with our trip and had to cut the booking short and she was more than flexible and all with a positive attitude. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
About: I offer personalized love and attention while you are away. My profile was inactive for a few years while my son was young but I have missed taking care of animals so am back at it. My reviews have also gone away so can provide references if needed while I build those back up. We treat your pets like family so you can enjoy your time away. I currently work part time and remotely and my son will be doing online school. Due to my flexible work I am open to days/times you need and can give your animals the attention they deserve. I care about and respect your instructions and space. I will treat your pets like family and your home as if it were my own.
“Ms. Chris was great with our two dogs! They can be anxious but when she came for the meet and greet they could feel her good energy and were comfortable with her. She did a quick overnight stay for us, and I would hire her again in the future. Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies, Chris!”
“Gigi was wonderful! Excellent communication throughout the entire process and she was so sweet and patient with our slightly neurotic, high-energy little guy. We will definitely be reaching out to Gigi again in the future!”
“Trisha was great with our dogs. She is intuitive about what the dogs need and how to manage them. She was also good with communication and super flexible on working with us to accommodate logistics. Would definitely rebook.”
“Denise was wonderful. She was flexible with me when things were not working out as planned. She was suppose to come to our house to care for our dogs but due to some floor problems, we asked her if she would watch them at her house. She made that happen, which was a blessing. See sent pictures everyday sometimes twice a day. It was wonderful not to worry about our babies they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Denise and I will use her again. Donna”

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 Garo 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 Garo 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 Garo 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.
