“Laine was amazing, she made sure my shy cat felt not only at ease but happy. My cat is usually shy but he is completely in love with her to the point that after I came back he kept looking for her!! She is the best pet sitter I've had far best, definitely will ask her to pet sit again in a second.”
“Love was absolutely incredible! This was my first time ever using Rover or trusting someone with my dog, and she made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She sent daily photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind and showed just how happy and well cared for my dog was. On top of that, I came home to a house that was somehow even cleaner than when I left it—such a thoughtful and above-and-beyond touch. You can truly tell she cares, not just about the pets, but about her clients too. I would 1000% trust Love again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely amazing sitter!”
“Casey is such a great pet sitter. She took Holly for walks and on car rides and sent pictures so I knew she was getting love and cuddles. Holly is diabetic and Casey was a champ at making sure she got her insulin. I will definitely call her again. She was very responsible and left the house in good order. Thank you, Casey!”
“This went great. He came over and learned the house as well as my cat beforehand. She liked him immediately. And I noticed that he automatically uses distraction when n an animal does something wrong. (I used to be a certified dog trainer and do consults and the behavior hotline for an SPCA.) He sent pictures during. Best of all, she wasn't frantic when we got home like when we have just a visit each day. Then in the evening she went yowling around the guest room looking for him! Other things, the house was at least as clean when we got home as when we left. And he left us banana bread!”
“Mary was awesome!! This was my first time ever using this app or anything like this to watch my dogs. The experience was so great that this is the only way I will do it going forward and it will be Mary that I use. I loved the fact that she would send me pics so I could see them having fun! Thank you Mary you did an awesome job!!!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was 8 years old and I began dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 12. I completed animal behavior training at Kansas Humane Society where I volunteered as a dog walker, played with a wide array of rescue dogs of all sizes and personalities, and also snuggled rescue cats and kittens. I take special interest in understanding dog training and behavior and read and watch videos on these topics often. I'm the type of person at the social gathering that lingers around the dog or cat and pets them as long as they let me. I currently work a normal 8am-5pm office job with a lunch break midday which I can use for a visit. I am completely available on weekends. I am happy to do overnight stays if needed. I have cats in my home and currently do not have a fence so I don't offer in home boarding for dogs. I am extremely attentive and detail oriented. I maintain tidy homes and happy pets. I truly enjoy cuddling and playing so your furry friends are in good hands with me. I am experienced with a wide variety of dispositions and will tailor my care depending on the pets needs.
“Mandy watched our two cats and two dogs for the holiday weekend and did a great job! Our dogs are very playful and she understood their needs and gave them lots of attention. Communication was excellent and I appreciated the photos while we were gone.”
“We had Kayla stay with our pup as well as our daughter’s 2 pups while we were out of town for a couple of days. We received lots of pictures as well as updates throughout the day. She even took them on walks! Everything was as expected when we returned, and our puggle, who has separation anxiety, greeted us without her usual scolding and throwing a fit. Thank you Kayla for taking such good care of them. ❤️”
“Ingrid is truly heaven-sent. I’ve hired several dog sitters through Rover in the past — some good, some not so great — but I never felt fully at peace leaving my pups behind. That all changed when I found Ingrid. From our very first interaction, I knew she was exceptional. She was prompt in her responses, punctual, warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in meeting both my needs and the needs of my fur babies. When you hire Ingrid, you’re not just getting a sitter — you’re gaining someone who will care for your pets like her own. She’s a true blessing, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“This was my first time using Rover but I needed a way to find a house sitter that knew what they were doing. I booked Arianna because she had good reviews, available for the booking, and cheaper. I have 4 dogs so I needed someone with a lower “additional dog fee”. She watched them about 10 days. When returning home, I didn’t find any bathroom accidents or tore up furniture. She fed them twice a day and gave my pit an allergy pill each day. I did not require any dog walking. When going out of town, I will use her again.”
“Kyelene got a 5 star rating from our household! The girls, (2 dogs and a cat) were in very good hands. After meeting Kyelene, I knew our dogs would be in very good hands. We got pictures sent to us which was nice. The house was as clean as I left it which I appreciated. I would highly recommend Kyelene for your houesitting/dogsitting needs.”
About: I have taken care of small, medium, and large dogs! I have also taken care of cats! I have had animals in my home for as long as I can remember. I love being playful with them and try to always keep them feeling loved and entertained! I’m very active and love walks. I’m currently working part-time and am available Mondays after 4pm, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 5pm, Thursdays after 3:30, all day Friday, and some weekends depending on travel! My schedule also depends on traveling due to family being out of town! I let them out as frequently as I can and I do love taking the time to play with them! They deserve to burn off their energy! When I come to your home I will leave it better than I found and make sure to follow the routine that you request to the best of my abilities! I want to make you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable during the service!
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they deserve to be treated like family. I’ve owned dogs throughout my entire adult life and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you can’t be there. I’m a reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented person who will take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits in your home, and boarding for one dog at a time in my home. I provide personalized, one-on-one care and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and a detailed report after each visit or boarding stay so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is simple: when you’re not home, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Now that I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week, with only occasional appointments to work around. I have three dogs of my own who are a huge part of our family, and my 1-year-old daughter absolutely adores her dog sisters. She loves helping give them their daily treats and showering them with pets! Our days are already filled with lots of love for animals, and I’d love to extend that same care, attention, and affection to your pets. I can be flexible with scheduling and will always prioritize making sure your pets receive reliable, loving, and individualized care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. My three friendly dogs are part of our family and can provide companionship for pups who enjoy furry friends, with introductions and interactions always handled carefully and supervised. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pup is staying in our home, joining me for walks, or receiving care in the comfort of their own home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, cuddles, and rest while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking for local families, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medication when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat both with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own family, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around almost every kind of dog in my life, from little small wiener dogs to Great Danes and pits. I enjoy dogs with a passion, I truly love their loyalty towards their owner. No matter how hard your day is once you come home it’s the best greeting you’ll ever get. Can’t say that about to many things nor people now can you. So I’m getting ready to head to the airforce very soon and I need to find a way to have money coming in before I leave. I thought what’s the best way to do that and the first thing that came to mind was my dogs. So I want to provide others with a solid person to trust around their loved ones no matter what. So i got a small morkie mix as the little brother and an American bully for the big brother. We establish walks,food,water is given 24/7,treats when a task or a good dog is listening. The most important of all, attention and love.
About: I spent all day at home to take care my cat. Feed, wash their hair every week, and some time take them go outside to hangout I'm a student. I have a plenty of time to play with cat. I go to school from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Sometime I learn at home I have a friendly cat at my home. She is very friendly and maybe shy a litte bit. I can stop by at your home to take care of your pets.
About: I have owned 4 dogs and treat each one like family. My little one goes with me about everywhere I go. I love to walk dogs for good exercise. I'm currently working from home so I have my own schedule. Weekends are great too. You're furry friend will have plenty of good loving fun. I have a fenced area and dog run to let your beloved dog run and play. I also like taking my own dog to the dog park to meet and greet other pets.

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 Goddard 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 Goddard 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 Goddard 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
