“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we were a bit nervous considering it’s 6 barking Schnauzers- but Kamy exceeded our expectations! From the start, she was very presentable and professional, super friendly, and very attentive to all our pups needs. We received regular updates, pictures, and messages- which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to our pups very happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She was very trustworthy, responsive, and caring. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and we WILL be using her services again.”
About: I have taken care of all kinda of animals, I have a husky and pitbul mixed, I had a German Shepard and a golden doodle before, I pet sat all my friends dogs from boxers to chihuahuas, I just love them all!!!! I had dogs all my life ever since I was little, they are so precious to me. As long as your pet fur bay is with me I will treat them like the are my own ❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time with the pups. I can take them during the week or weekend or pet sit at your place or do drop ins, whatever you need I’m here for it! I have a back porch they can relax on, my dog love it he’s out there all the time. and I have a pup of my own to keep your baby company. If needed I can easily crate my dog. I also have time to walk them too. If pups needed to be separated I can close off half my house if needed. I have doors in the middle I’m able to close and they will still have tons of space!
About: I’ve been loving and caring for dogs since I was young, and am currently raising my own three: Jax, Chihiro, & Delta. I’m also experienced with cats through informal care of outdoor/community cats. I’m known to be attentive & reliable, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and daily routines. I’m currently working full-time, (9-4:30 Mon-Fri), but I have availability from 6-8:30am & 5-11:30pm Mon-Fri, and 5am-11:30pm on the weekends. I listen to every pet parent, noting down important information that’ll help me provide the best care to their pets. I ensure that the environment is clean and safe to roam, food is provided correctly, and that the pet is given enough love and attention.
“Rachel was extremely communicative!!! She kept me up to date every visit, lots of pictures and videos and she loved my boys the same way I would!! Very appreciative of her service and will use her for future visits!”
“Melissa was wonderful helping me with a last minute in-house booking! She was very quick to respond, kept me updated on my fur babies, and sent me pictures throughout the stay. I know my boys were in great hands!”
About: I’ve had many animals throughout my life and know that caring for them is my passion. I recently lost my Australian shepherd so this will be filling the void! I’m currently going out for maternity leave at work so my schedule is very open to all the fur babies. Size and breed are not an issue I have a fenced in back yard if that’s what your baby is needing. If they are inside then they are welcome to be a furry couch potato!
About: I’ve welcomed all dogs and or cats with open arms since I was around 10 years old I love all kinds of animals but cats and dogs are my favorites I’m currently job searching so that gives me more than enough time for professionally caring for animals as a side hustle for some income to get me started I feed them, if I’m not busy I’ll play with them, I will make them comfortable whenever and wherever I am taking care of them
“Marianne is the best! She watched our two dogs while we were at the beach and we never had to worry about them. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated each day. One of our dogs is very old and the other has to take medicine daily which she handled with ease. We will be using her for our pet sitting needs from now on!”
“Always grateful when she watches my dogs. She is great at communicating and when I come home I know there aren’t going to be any unexpected surprises. My dogs are always very happy when we have this sitter. Cannot thank her enough.”
“Destiny was Fantastic. I will be leaving a RAVE REVIEW. The fact that my dog was playing with another dog. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌. I will be using your services in the future. Thank you for being so loving and caring while attending to my dog. He lost his sister in March, so seeing him excited & playing again was heartwarming. Thank you again.”
About: I've had pets since I was little. We got our first dog when I was in about 4th grade. At the moment I have a Guinea pig. I've been to obedience school with my dog before so I think that might come in handy. Other than that. I just want to enjoy their company. And also keep an eye on your bundle of joy for you. I've had pitbulls, pinkingneses, and a beagle before but I mostly know about smaller dogs. I've read a plethora of dog books from my local library during my early teenage years to get a good understanding of most species. I also am constantly researching anything I need to, on more than just Google and wikipedia but multiple sources. I hope I can be of service to anyone who would have me. I work two part time jobs and am looking to fill my time with some fur babies. The time spend at both jobs is equal to less than 40 hours. I have a crate trained dog in my home and plenty of yard to run around. I live on a dirt road so it is not traveled often.
About: I have loved dogs all of my life and have always had one. I connect with any and every dog that I come across. When you are away I want you to have the peace of mind that someone that cares is taking care of your dog. Your dog is apart of your family, and I will treat it like that! I am able to walk all sizes of dogs, and have experience with many large breed dogs. I prefer to take care of bigger dogs, because that is what I love to do. I have experience with labs all the way up to Great Danes (my favorite)!! I currently own a Great Dane who gets along with any dog. I work full time during the week, but am home most weekends. When I am home, 100% of my times will be devoted to your pets. I have a fenced in yard that is .5 acre. Dogs will have plenty of room to run out energy. Dogs are allowed on furniture.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since forever. I have multiple animals of my own seeing as I have a farm and love to add animals to it. I’m currently in school get my bachelors in health science and associates in business, but luckily as of right now I am online so free all the time when im not babysitting/nannying. I’m looking for more opportunities to pet sit since I love animals and have all summer completely free. I am able to take your fur babies on long walks and fun trips to the park to play. I will love and treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I have a very secure environment as I live in a house on my parents property with them. It’s 30 acres so lots of land to take walks on with the pets. I have experience with all animals aging from young to senior animals. I also have experience with other animals if you have any including rabbits, chickens, and ducks of all ages.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and owned 4 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to pet sit for them throughout high school. I used to only be a dog-person but recently became a cat-person as well, adopting my new kitten named Milo. I'm currently a full-time engineering student at Auburn University but have availability in the mornings and nights on Monday and Friday and available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I live in a studio apartment near Auburn University's campus. I live with just my kitten, Milo, but can come to your house to pet sit. I would be able to take dogs on walks whether they stay at my place or I come to you.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Girard
Kisten is very informative and understanding! She sent me pictures of the dogs and let me know how they were doing. For such a last minute booking, she made me feel like I was leaving my dogs with someone who is safe and secure. Thank you kindly- I would definitely recommend and rebook!
Ashley spent her days off of work to house and dog sit for us in our home. I received picture updates and she followed my 3 dogs routines to a T. I have never left my dogs home before (in 8 years) but meeting her helped ease my fears. I just knew they would be in good hands with her! While we were away, we got caught in an ice storm and couldn't travel home on-time but she was more than willing to extend the booking. It was all such an easy process and I will definitely be using her again in the future!
Lindsay took excellent care of Henry! We will definitely use her again and appreciate all of the love, attention and care he received while we were traveling. She was also very communicative and we enjoyed receiving multiple updates and photos/videos each day.
We are so pleased Nadtali He did an excellent job watching our picky little maltese named Pookie. He was very attentive and she liked him a lot. He played with her and adhered to all our instructions. I would highly recommend him and look forward to hiring him again in the near future,

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 Girard 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 Girard 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 Girard 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.
