“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
“Timothy was great! Very nice and easy to communicate with. Took care of our two large dogs and was able to give them their medicine as prescribed. Gave us peace of mind while we were out of town that our animals and house were well taken care of. He left the house in a cleaner state than when we left which is hard to do with a shedding husky. We will be using him again whenever we’re out of town.”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of owning many different kinds of dogs and a few cats, and caring for animals has always been something I enjoy. I also work at Pet Supplies Plus, which gives me an opportunity to be around pets and learn more about their needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to older pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I believe in treating every pet with the same love, kindness, and respect I would give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or simply some extra company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also understand how important it is to follow your instructions and keep you updated while you’re apart. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐾❤️ My schedule offers some flexibility throughout the week, and I’m usually available on Thursdays. I typically work Mondays and Saturdays, but I’m available for pet care after my shifts. I’m also available after 7:30 p.m. on evenings when my wife takes over with our daughter. Since my availability can vary depending on my work schedule and family commitments, I communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure we find a time that works for everyone. I want to provide dependable, loving care while making sure every pet gets the attention and time they deserve. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my priorities. As someone who has owned different kinds of dogs and cats and works at Pet Supplies Plus, I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine.

I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and a safe space to relax. I’m also happy to provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashes, and keeping a close eye on your pet and their surroundings.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Getzville
Madison was great. She checked in the day before to confirm the details of the booking to ensure she was there as scheduled. She kept us updated throughout the 2 days leaving us with a sense of confidence that our “Dug” was well cared for. She stayed overnight and maintained a tidy home. We are looking forward to having her again.
I’m so glad Kelly was available to dog sit Cloud and Milo again. She is very responsive and gives lots of cute updates. I feel like she took even better care of my dogs than I do which is really saying something. You’d be lucky to have Kelly watch your pets! Thanks Kelly!

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 Getzville 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 Getzville 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 Getzville 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!

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.
