“Stephanie is so thoughtful and caring. She showed our dogs loads of love and sent regular updates during her stay at our house. We love her and will definitely have her again!”

About: I have had several different pets in my life , including mainly dogs and cats. I currently have 3 cats who I love so much ! I’m currently In college and I’m not working at the moment , so my schedule is really flexible and I have plenty of time to take care of animals ! I have three friendly cats who would be able to keep other animals company that come into my home ! I always make sure to feed my animals and take care of them in the best way possible
“Daniela was excellent with communication and updates. Our dogs loved her immediately. She kept them excellent company and went above what was asked. Will book again for sure.”
“Brittany is an amazing dog sitter!! She’s so sweet and put my mind at ease right away. Brittany loves animals, she took great care of my pup and my house. She also took pics and videos so I could see what my baby was up to. Don’t hesitate, you can trust her with your fur baby! My vaca was stress free knowing my dog was in great hands with Brittany.”


“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”

“Kylie was fantastic.our dog suffers from separation anxiety and tends not to eat. I let her know about this and on the first night she told me that Mara ate. She doesn't usually do that...ever. We got several pictures of Mara being a solar powered puppy on our deck and Kylie even took our cat Zephyr out with her because she also loves going outside. Kylie truly is an animal whisperer and is very observant and patient. All of our animals were nice and calm when we retuened home and no where near as axious as they usually are when we return after a long trip. Would definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and recently discovered a love for cats, thanks to my girlfriend, an animal lover who shares my passion and helps care for the pets we sit. Together, we bring a calm, caring, and experienced presence to every pet we meet. I’ve cared for animals as young as 1 week old and as senior as 19 years. I offer basic training for both dogs and cats (sit, lay, paw) and have experience administering pills and liquid medication when needed. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet with special needs, I provide trustworthy, loving care tailored to each animal’s age and personality. I’m a full-time Computer Science student, so I’m home pretty much all the time, working on school. My girlfriend is also home a lot, so your pet will always have someone around to keep them company. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just chilling together, your furry friend will get all the attention they need! I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your pets while you're away. I live in a cozy 2 bedroom apartment, and I’m home most of the time, so your pets will always be under supervision in a safe, clean, and loving environment. Whether you prefer care in my home, yours, or a mix of both, I offer flexible options to fit your needs. I can stay at your house to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings, or if you'd like them to have a change of scenery, they’re welcome to come to my home for a stay. If you're looking for something more short-term, I can also do drop-in visits to feed, play, and check in on them. Rest assured, your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care, just like they would at home.
“Natalia was truly the BEST Rover sitter we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and caring — and she treated our home and fur babies like they were her own. We have three dogs and a cat, and every single one of them was so loved and well cared for while we were away. One of our pups ended up having an unexpected flea issue and was super itchy while she was staying with them, and Natalia immediately stepped in and handled everything with so much care and compassion. She bathed all three dogs, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated every step of the way. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. On top of taking amazing care of the animals, she went completely above and beyond with our home. She did laundry, swept, cleaned, remade the bed, and left the house better than we left it. You can genuinely tell she is the kind of person who respects and cares for other people’s space. Natalia is kind, trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable having her in our home and caring for the members of our family we love most. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pets deeply, communicate wonderfully, and care for your home with incredible respect should book her immediately. She is an absolute gem and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I currently work a free lance job that takes me all over. Please let me know what your regular schedule is like so we can make a good plan for your pets care while you are away. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”


“This was the first time we used rover for our dog and we were very impressed how well Carla took care of Spooky for 3 days she stayed with him and gave him all his proper pills, feed him, walked him, and slept over with him. I would highly recommend Carla! Thanks again!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs that need long walks and playtime, as well as more relaxed pets that just want companionship and attention. My experience includes feeding routines, administering basic care, walking dogs on leash, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I always pay attention to each pet’s personality and adjust my care to match their needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own keeping them on their routine as much as possible and making sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in responsible, caring hands. I’m currently working full time but i’m available all day on my days off which are Wednesday & Thursdays. Im available after 6 on weekends When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any specific care guidelines for the pet. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well supervised at all times. For dogs, I provide structured walks, potty breaks, and playtime based on their energy level and needs. For cats or other pets, I ensure they are fed on time, have clean water, a clean environment, and receive attention and interaction based on their personality. I also respect the client’s home by keeping everything clean and organized, cleaning up after pets, and making sure doors and entry points are secure when I arrive and leave. I pay attention to any changes in behavior or health and communicate immediately with the owner if anything seems off. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and cared for while they’re away.
“We’re so happy we found Ashland. She watched our dogs overnight and did an amazing job following all of our instructions. She was caring and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pup absolutely loved her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jesica saved our lives when the person we had booked cancelled at 8 pm the night before we were leaving! I am eternally grateful to Jesica and the wonderful job she did watching my precious puppy. She kept me updated the entire time and handled his high energy craziness like a real professional. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone and everyone.”

“Xanthe was the absolute sweetest and best to our pup scout! Even with last minute scheduling changes on our part she came over and comforted our pup during the holiday fireworks! Our family and her new friend scout recommends her for your own pup! <3”

“Serena was great with willow! Very patient and learned her weakness very fast. She sent lots of pics and gave details on willows day. I am a very happy doggo mom and will be using Serena in the future!”

About: I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience both as a dog trainer and in boarding. Over the years, I've worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring more specialized care. My background in dog training allows me to work with your dog on behavioral issues or reinforce good habits while they're under my care. Additionally, my experience in boarding means I'm accustomed to managing multiple pets at once and ensuring each gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s administering medications, keeping them on a consistent schedule, or providing enrichment activities, I always ensure that pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. With a deep understanding of canine behavior and a compassionate approach, I can offer more than just basic pet-sitting—I can be an extension of your dog’s family and contribute to their well-being, whether they're staying with me for a day or an extended period. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and my experience allows me to seamlessly incorporate it into my schedule. As a dog trainer, I’m accustomed to spending time with dogs throughout the day, whether it’s for training sessions, walks, or general care. I prioritize regular exercise and mental stimulation for pets, which fits well with my structured daily plan. In addition to my training work, I also have experience with boarding, which means I’m used to managing the care of multiple dogs at once. I make sure to set aside specific times each day for feeding, walks, and attention, while also balancing the other tasks of my day. Whether I’m working with puppies, senior dogs, or dogs in need of more specialized care, I structure my routine to ensure each pet gets the individual care and attention they deserve. This flexible yet organized routine allows me to manage pet care efficiently, while maintaining a balanced schedule. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home. I respect the pet’s routine and environment, ensuring that everything stays consistent with what they’re used to. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules, while also incorporating any necessary training or enrichment activities. For pets that need additional care—like senior dogs or those with anxiety—I create a calm, structured environment to help them feel comfortable. I also make sure the home is safe and secure, checking for any potential hazards like open windows, toxic plants, or unsecured doors. Trust is key, and I keep an open line of communication with pet owners, offering updates and photos so they feel reassured their pets are in good hands. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and familiar environment where pets feel cared for, relaxed, and happy.

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 Geneva 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 Geneva 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 Geneva 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.
