About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have years of hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including seniors, anxious pets, and animals with disabilities or medical conditions. Have a pet other than a dog or cat? Send me a message! Chances are, I have experience with them. I’ve also volunteered at a wildlife rescue caring for a wide variety of wildlife. I’m experienced with oral medications, insulin injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and I have a disabled cat of my own. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine closely. I’ll also tidy up after your pets, sweep or vacuum as needed, bring in mail, put out the trash, and even care for your houseplants! Looking for someone who will care for your pets and home like they’re my own? Send me a message. I’d love to meet them! I don’t work a full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a homebody, so I don’t have a busy schedule either. I try to give your pets the calmest and happiest experience while you’re not home. My goal is to help them forget you’re gone, by following the same routine they are used to and giving them all the love, attention and playtime they need. I’m also judgement free and will follow your house rules, religious or otherwise. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.
About: I've been a pet lover my whole life! I've lived with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and birds. As a pet parent, I know how stressful it can be to find a good pet sitter or walker. Let me meet with your furry or scaley babies and see that I'm a great match! Currently, I have two large dogs, three fish tanks, and an ever-growing indoor plant collection. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am very flexible and will work with you to meet all your pet needs! I consider watching someone else's pet to be a major responsibility to be taken seriously. My pets' needs come first, always. Pets often need or expect routine and consistency. I'm more than happy to provide your pets and you with reassurance their needs will be met.
About: As a pet owner for 20+ years (15+ years pet sitting for friends, family and word of mouth), I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. I can assure that I will provide the highest degree of professionalism and genuine care for your pet(s). With the experience of a variety of pets and breeds, I follow their own unique characteristics that deserve undivided attention. After recently losing my last dog I can’t get myself to get another one just yet so I am always looking forward to meeting and interacting with new pets! I am an energetic young adult who loves walking and hiking with a flexible schedule. Whether it is only for a moment or a few weeks I will always make sure that your pet feels comfortable and loved with a full healthy belly :) Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services! Thank you, Hannah I work remote with flexible hours that don’t take up a lot of my day. I maintain an active and adventurous lifestyle that fits with your pup getting the proper exercise and needing to let the zoomies out of the energetic ones. I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure in their own home or while away. I prioritize their routines, well-being, and happiness while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their pets are in reliable, responsible, and caring hands.
“James is such a stellar person and catsitter! We left our two cats for the first time ever, and James kept them so safe and happy. He sent regular updates and wonderful photos. We can't say enough good things about him. I hope everyone is lucky enough to hire him. Thanks again, James. We look forward to working with you again. You're simply the best!”
About: My name is Keri and I have been around animals since I was a baby. I live in a two bedroom house with my husband. Every animal has their own unique character and I know they are like family. So, I will give them love and care as if I were taking care of your child because I know how much they mean to you. All types of animals are welcome in my home. I care for people and animals, so I will be there if you want someone as your regular walker or sitter. I believe in honesty and kindness, there's enough chaos in this world. Why add to it? My schedule is wide open most days. If there is anything that I am not able to do, I will let you know. I am currently starting 2024 fall classes. I make sure doors are closed and they are always outside with a leash. They will get plenty of attention and treats from me !
“Emily is dependable and skilled in taking care of pets. This was our first visit, yet it felt like we had known each other for longer. She communicated well with me and so I was confident I could enjoy my time away. Emily is mature and pleasant and I would definitely have her back again.”

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.
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 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.
