About: Currently a dog owner of 4. One of my babies has seizures so I am experienced with administering meds whether they are liquid, pill form, shot and ones that need to be given on a schedule. A true animal lover. I work full time 8-5. I am able to leave during lunch to let out furry friends or go for a quick walk. I would never leave them home alone more than 4 hours if that’s what is requested. We walk every morning and night as well. At home I work on whatever the client wants. If they aren’t allowed on furniture and such It will stay that way. I want you to come home and have It feel like you never left.
“Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned! Krista came over in advance to meet the pets and learn the routines - we left detailed notes but it helps to be able to talk and answer questions in person. She sent daily pics and came to do extra checks a couple of times. Our trip plans came together quickly and depended on finding a reliable sitter during spring break week, so also really appreciated that she stepped in to help us out. Would love to book her again.”
About: I have had my own cat since I was 4 years old and I grew up caring and watching over her and she is still by my side to this day. Throughout the years I have taken care of other animals within my family and my friends. I have more knowledge and experience with cats but I would love to watch over dogs more often. I have a job at Starbucks and my schedule fluctuates but I get my schedule three weeks prior and I am willing to work with anyone to be sure I can give their animals the care they need. Currently, I am treating my cat of her hyperthyroidism and early signs of kidney disease. I give her her medicine on a set schedule, a full dosage in the morning and a half-dosage at night. And even if work overlaps with that time I am sure to be flexible so I can get to her in time for her medication.
“Jaycee took excellent care of our dogs and cat. All the animals enjoyed her company and are all in good health and good spirits when we arrived home. She provided constant updates and followed all care instructions perfectly. I would recommend Jaycee to anyone needing a reliable caring sitter!”
“Makenna left the dogs happy and well taken care of! I would have loved more updates but that isn’t as big of a deal as making sure my babies are happy and they are! Would book again!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I know just how much our pets mean to us. They’re not just animals, they’re family! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your fur babies while you’re away. I’m a loving, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals of all personalities, sizes, and ages. Whether your pet loves playing, going on walks, getting belly rubs, or just cuddling up and relaxing, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve! I love spending time with animals, so making time for your fur babies is something I genuinely enjoy! I do work during the week, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I want to make sure your babies get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priorities! I understand that trusting someone else with your fur baby is a big deal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, respect their boundaries, and make sure they’re comfortable in their environment. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I’ll treat them like one of my own! I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates for your peace of mind. ❤️
“Sarah S. was fantastic! She showed up on time and immediately held our toy poodle mix who gravitated to her right away. She listened to his care instructions and did what we asked while we were gone. When I would text her to check on him, she quickly replied also sending photos of him. He stresses very easily but he didn't feel a moment of stress with Sarah! If we ever need a pet sitter again we won't hesitate to contact her.”
About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.
“I really appreciate the time and care. Emily took with taking care of my babies. Being able to watch them in my home meant so much to me with me traveling it keeps the dogs feeling comfortable and I really appreciated that from her. I can tell that the dogs really enjoyed her and the time they were able to spend they were just as happy when I left as when I got home. I think her so much will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Katie H. sent only relevant messages, arrived on time and was gracious above and beyond expectations. I first booked two dogs, Mandy and Clarice. At the last minute she agreed to my adding a third dog, Winnie. Clarice was old, was diabetic and was not friendly due to her condition. Mandy was a normal, active 3-year old and Winnie was a 5-month old puppy. Katie sent us a couple of photos, and all three dogs were perfectly calm when we arrived after our event. This was my first experience with Rover.com, and I am truly impressed thanks to Katie.”

“Beyond what I could have ever imagined as a first time user of Rover! Lisa was absolutely amazing and I felt totally at peace with her in charge of our pup. She made sure to understand all of his needs ahead of the booking. She kept me updated with pictures every day and make sure he got plenty of playtime ❤️ If I have a choice, I won’t ever be using anyone but Lisa. I’m totally spoiled now 😂”
“Bridget is fantastic! She was a tremendous help when another sitter canceled last minute, offering options to ensure my kitties were taken care of. She sent regular feedback letting me know how they were doing. So grateful knowing my trio was well cared for!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life, and I gained a lot of experience from a three year stint when I was younger and had seven at once ! The two I currently have are potty trained by me, and they respond to basic commands like ‘sit’, ‘drop it’, ‘come’, and ‘quiet’. I have also taken care of two senior, as well as groomed a goldendoodle named Moose! I’m very good with dogs, and I love just being around them! I’m currently a college student, but my weekends and afternoons are free. Early early mornings (5:15-7 am) are also free, though my availability at those times would be distance based. I do not have a place at my dorm to entertain dogs, but I have my own car in which there is plenty of space to transfer a dog to a park or even to the vet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Gladewood Addition 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 Gladewood Addition 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 Gladewood Addition 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
