“Great experience! Jennifer took such good care of my dogs and sent daily updates. She even did a couple of favors for me while I was away. The dogs clearly enjoyed their time with Jennifer. We will book with her again for sure!”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of my Mazie girl. Mazie is a newish rescue and she is nervous at first. Julie has a very calming presence and Mazie seemed comfortable with her right away. She also took great care of my home during her stay. I highly recommend Julie for your pet sitting needs.”
“Melissa was great to work with. She made me feel very comfortable and she took great care of my puppy. She was very attentive to my specifications for my pup. She messaged with timely & detailed updates which helped ease my new dog mom nerves. Thanks Melissa!”
“I can't say enough how much I appreciate and love Ashten & Shelby! They did amazing with my pup as always and even earned some kitty cuddles which is very rare for my cats when they're around strangers. as an employee of Rover, this is the experience i hope for all Rover users”
“Elias was very professional and a great communicator! He was so good with our animals and we could tell they warmed up to him right away. We’d definitely book again!”
“Annaclare is an excellent house sitter and dog sitter! She was very thoughtful and thorough in her care. She showed so much love to our boy during her stay, and was very proactive in asking any clarifying questions. She sent us excellent photos and updates which was so nice to have all these since it was our first time working with her. She spent such quality time with our boy during our time away…and I am so grateful. I highly recommend Annaclare.”
About: I am a retired elementary school teacher and I have owned multiple pets for the past 30 years including dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I have also done paid pet sitting and housesitting during my college years. I have a great love for all animals and am experienced in caring for puppies, elderly dogs and every age in between. I would love to take care of your furry friend! I will treat your dog as I would my own. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe and caring environment for your dog and give you peace of mind while you are away. I currently work very part time at home on a flexible schedule so I would have plenty of time to either drop in on or walk your dog(s). I would be very diligent about following your directions when I care for your dog(s) in your home. I would take your dog(s) for walks, play their favorite games and give them an abundance of pets and love.
“Alexandra has proved herself to be a great cat-sitter. She followed our cat care instructions very well. She spent time with them in the evening/night when they get the most lonely(they sleep most of the day), gave them wet food on schedule, checked their water fountains, dry food dispensers and litter robot to make sure they were in order, and cleaned up after Boo when he puked. When we came home, the cats seemed emotionally very well and cared for. I could tell she had spent the right amount of time with them and given them enough attention, because they were not upset, stressed or angry at me for leaving them as they would be if they had not been attended to sufficiently. Alexandra was also very kind to our apartment while she was over, leaving it very clean. Best of all, she was easy to communicate with while we were away. I definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: I can’t remember a time i haven’t had animals in the home from dogs and cats to fish and birds i’ve handled them all. Growing up it was my responsibility to handle dog chores from daily feedings and watering to potty pick up. I had to help raise a litter of puppies including things like feedings, training, playtime, vaccine administration. I consider myself a pro at hiding medicine and assuring the pups actually take it hahah. Animals mean the world to me, my goal is making sure THEY know that. I am very flexible with scheduling, please feel free to ask about scheduling for ANY day. I do have a part time job however my days off (wednesday-saturday) i am available nearly all day including overnights. The days i do work i will be available for walks, check ins and possibly overnight stays depending on location. I am very flexible and willing to accommodate to most things. As i do not offer service in my home i am very open with needs and requests. Whether you prefer your dog crated or free roam i can accommodate either. Open to whatever methods make you and your pets comfortable. Available to play in fenced yards, dog parks and go for walks.
“Megan did a fantastic job of caring for our two Chihuahua mix dogs and our cat. Our house was in order and our pets happy when we returned home. . We will not hesitate to use Megan’s services again when we go out of town.”
“Brean is timely, kind, professional to work with, covers her bases with meeting the animals and going over things before committing. Will definitely work with her again. Thank you Brean!”
About: When I was a kid and up to my late teens my family had two dogs. They were great dogs and I have fond memories of them. We made sure they were fed twice a day, had clean water, and picked up their poop in the yard. Of course if a medical situation came up, they were taken to the vet. Currently I don't have a dog, however, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy dogs. Other than I have scheduled activities throughout the week I can easily drop by and check on your beloved pet(s). (May have appointments so will need to adjust times.) Sundays: after 12pm, Mondays: free all day, Tuesday: after 12pm, Wednesday: free all day until 6pm, Thursday: free all day, Friday: free all day, Saturday: free after 1:30pm. I'm currently residing with family so I can easily house sit. I just need a list of details that need to be done for your house and your pet(s). My cats and my family's get many pets and are loved on very much. They love being let outside in the backyard. They get snacks at certain times of the day. They always have food and fresh water, even one from a water fountain bowl. Their litter boxes are cleaned out weekly. I'm a tidy person. I'm usually good about checking mail, turning the outdoor lights on at night, and locking doors when coming and going. I live a quiet life so this gives me time to stay longer at drop offs to play and give extra care to your pet(s).
About: As a Pacific Northwest native, I’ve always loved the outdoors, exploring nature, and the animals who make life a little better. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave yours in someone else’s care, you want to know they’re safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. I work remotely in nonprofit project coordination, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be present and attentive while caring for your pets. Whether your furry companion loves outdoor adventures, leisurely walks, backyard lounging, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m comfortable caring for different personalities, from independent pets who enjoy their own space to affectionate, high-energy companions who need extra attention and activity. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, respect your instructions, and make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment. My goal is to make your time away easier, knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, follow their usual routine, and treat your home and your animals with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, or a trusted companion for your pet while you travel, I want you to feel confident that they’re getting more than the basics. They’re getting genuine attention, patience, and care. 🌿 I work remotely in nonprofit project coordination, so I have real flexibility to care for your pet properly, whether you need local sitting or someone reliable while you travel. I’m equally good with the laid back companion or the high maintenance pet who needs constant attention. You can trust me with your animal. I work remotely which means I show up for your pet with real attention instead of a quick check in. Whether it’s a local sit or you need someone for a road trip, I’m flexible and reliable. Your animal will actually be cared for, not just kept alive until you get back.
“Tierra was very good to work with and the dogs just loved her. We will use her again. She stayed at our home and sent pictures and updates on the dogs. She also let us know if she had a concern.”
“Catherine did an exceptional job caring for my puppy, Ruby, while I was gone. She took Ruby to the park, played with her in the yard and had hang out cuddle time. Ruby and the house were in great shape when I returned. Thanks, Catherine!”
“Sydney was great!! I have huskies, so they are very active, plus they are spoiled rotten, and she was kind and loving. First time I have ever left my boys with a house sitter and when we got back they saw us, got their movies and went back to letting her pet them. They were well taken care of. She did send one Pic, to let me know how they were doing. But in fairness, I did text her daily asking for updates. So, she even put up with the overprotective dog mom. I will absolutely be inviting her back.”
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience with animals of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities. My professional background includes working in kennels, doggy daycare, grooming, dog training, and veterinary assisting, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from playful puppies to seniors and pets with special needs. Safety is always my priority, but I also want your pet to feel like they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I’m comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, providing frequent potty breaks, following detailed feeding or medication routines, and caring for pets who may need a little extra patience. I also have dog and cat first aid/CPR experience and am comfortable with large breeds, multiple-pet households, and pets with different activity levels. I send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, medications, cuddles, and whatever routine your pet is used to at home. For boarding, I have a house with a fenced yard and plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and make themselves comfortable. I keep care personalized and follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, exercise needs, and sleeping preferences. Because I have dogs and young children in my home, I’m careful about making sure boarding dogs are a good fit before their stay. Meet-and-greets are always welcome! My goal is for you to leave feeling completely comfortable and for your pet to feel like they’re having their own little vacation. ❤️ I have a fenced in yard and and a dog park in walking distance! My home also has room for pups to run and play!
“Emily took good care of our 2 dogs and turtle while we were gone for an 8 day trip. Although I would have loved to have more updates and a bit more dog walks, our animals were well cared for and seemed very happy. She administered meds to my old dog as requested and brought in the mail. She seems to love animals and communicated very well.”
About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for 10 years now. I have had dogs of my own, and I currently live with two lovely golden retrievers. I enjoy helping others in this way by alleviating stress and making sure their pet(s) are well cared for while they’re away! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time with your pets! I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays before 10am for a morning walk, and Wednesdays-Fridays any time for walks, play and quality time. Im available for pet and house sitting weekdays and weekends! When you provide the details of your pet’s routine, I’ll make sure they will be well cared for, and the routine consistent! They’ll get lots of active time and attention.

Shalene took wonderful care of my little dog. He was happy and healthy when I returned. My house was perfect. Kitchen and baths looked like they had just been cleaned. All was perfect. She is the best I have ever had. I will use her for sure in the future. Kudos Shalene!!

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 Geiger Heights 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 Geiger Heights 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 Geiger Heights 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.
