“Aubrey was fantastic caring for our two pups and watching the house. They were in very good hands and we were excited to have someone stay with them who shares the love of pets and people. Highly recommended.”
“Karson was amazing with our two dogs. We have a big husky mix and a 10 mo old puppy and he did great with both. We were gone for nearly a week, Karson checked in during the day and stayed overnight. He was even able to add on one additional night at the last minute. We came home to two happy dogs. We will certainly be reaching out again next time we need a sitter.”
About: I've taken care of furbabies for over 20 years now. Dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits. My neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to care for their furbaby family members by not only walking and feeding their family member, but boarding, washing and grooming, and lots of fun playtime. I've been trained by a veterinarian to administer Sub Q fluids for emergency needs. I'm knowledgeable in surgery recovery as well. I will care for, and love, your family member just as I do mine. They will be pampered and cherished! I am a homemaker, looking for a bit of extra money, and an enjoyable job. I have flexible hours to help anyone with their pets. I am responsible, courteous, punctual, and a very loving person, and cat owner. I love all animals, and would love to help you out. Ask me questions if you'd like to know more about me. Please consider me for your pet care needs! I am a very careful, and respectful person. I will adhere to any instructions for your pet. I have two available bedrooms that I can make available to your pet when needed during their stay. Crate trained pets are a plus, but not a must. I have been trained by a veterinarian to administer Sub Q fluids in case of an emergency. I've given them to ferrets, and cats of my own. I'm reliable, and always on time.
“Daniela was amazing to have stay in our home and care for our 4 fur-babies while we were away. She was attentive, communicative, and demonstrated great compassion for our animals. I would absolutely recommend Daniela for your pet/house-sitting needs!”
“Christine was very conscientious and kind when caring for our 8 yr old pup. She sent photos every day and always responded to my text messages. I felt that she took her responsibility seriously and spent quality time with our dog. Our house was very tidy when we returned from being away. All in all, a positive experience!”
“Crystal was amazing with our furbabies. She sent pictures throughout the day to us while on vacation and was very responsive on keeping us updated day by day. She made sure our babies were loved and well cared for. Highly recommend her for future clients and definitely will be using her again. Couldn't thank her enough for staying the week and making sure cooper got his insulin injections and meals in time”
“Haylee is a very sweet and reliable person. Lucky loved her and she was very good to him. My neighbors all want to use her since I told them how satisfied I was with her. Hopefully, I can get her again.”
“I would give Julie more than 5 stars if that was possible. This was my first time using Rover and my experience could not have been better. Julie made me feel comfortable letting a stranger (feels like a friend already) into my home, she sent photos and updates, and left the sweetest card and gift for when I got back home. MY ONLY REGRET was not fining Julie sooner! Book her and you won’t regret it. I now found my go to person for all dog watching needs.”
“Shannon is fantastic! The meet and greet was exceptional and her response to a last minute booking was very quick. She is so attentive to our dog’s needs related to medication (scheduled every 6 hours, 3 times a day and a fourth dose of meds at bedtime.) She communicated during the stay with pictures and texts. If I could give her a million stars I would. I HIGHLY recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Alexis was wonderful! Zephy obviously loved her! I came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a neat house. Never once had to ask for an update, because she sent pictures and updates regularly. I will definitely book her again!”
“I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He was professional and kind. When we did our meet and greet my dogs were in love with him from the get go. He went above and beyond while looking after them. He sent me numerous pictures, took them on long walks (even though he didn’t have to) and let me know when one of my dogs meds was starting to run low. Chris is a rockstar and I am looking forward to working with him in the future”
About: I am passionate for dogs, I find there loyalty and love that they give to us is amazing! I love children but never had any, so therefore doggies have always been my babies. I first got my first two chihuahuas about 28 years ago and haven’t been without a furry angel. I would't have any other way-doggies are smart and just amazingly fun. Certainly, they deserve the best possible love and care one can provide, and I love to care and give. That in itself, makes me joyful! I’m a self employed fine artist, so I’m fairly flexible. Other than the gym, appointments,etc, - normal errands. That is pretty much the current extent of my schedule. I travel from time to time, but not regularly.so I am at home a lot. I have a small harmless chihuahua ,”Lilly “, so it’s just her and me. I always am well aware of where the doggies are, inside and outside. They always have water and food if necessary, according to the client’s wishes. That, is primary for me, making certain I am abiding by the client’s needs and requests, while simply using common sense. I’m good at finding a resolution to any situation, if there was one, and being prepared ahead of time. Even just for the simple things. I am an Airforce veteran and just love doing good things for others. For I know, for my Lilly, I make sure if she can’t travel with me, she goes to a “pet resort” or I also use Rover. I have a decent size yard with room to play and I don’t mind if they want to lay on the couch or bed, however they feel comfortable and happy. I also know that doggies can get emotional when their parents drop them off. Lilly gets all kinds of emotions when I have to leave her. These precious 4-leggers are smart too!
“Michelle did an outstanding job taking care of not only my pet but my home. Would recommend and will be contacting her again to take care of my dog which I believe is the highest compliment. Thanks, Michelle!”
“Amber took excellent care of our animals this week. She was easy to communicate with and sent thoughtful updates on everyone as well as sweet pictures. I am so grateful for the care we received from her and will definitely request her services again!”
“Kimberly was amazing! I had her watch my 2 pups while I was on vacation, and was nervous because I’ve never used rover before. She kept me updated the entire time I was away, spent a lot of time with my dogs, and sent many pictures! I was relieved to have someone that truly cares watch them. She also went above and beyond, and made sure my house and sheets were clean for me when I got back. Would 100% recommended her to anyone”
“Cindy is amazing!! She kept me up-to-date on Riley all throughout the weekend and sent the cutest pictures of her. She took such good care of Riley and the house. I felt so good knowing that Riley was in good and loving hands. I highly recommend her and look forward to having Cindy again!”

About: I have lived my whole like with dogs and have learned to properly take care of them. I live with my dog and he is a cuddly and friendly dog. He has taught me well on how to give dogs affection and I think that’s my strong suit! My dog now has bad allergies and frequent medical issues, so I’m well versed in specialized care and treatment as well. I understand leaving your pet with someone can be difficult, and I want to make sure you know the love and care I will give to your fur babies! , I take care of my dog (yellow lab) 24/7 by feeding, caring, bathing him, etc. I always am able to get stay on top of his needs and learn his different body cues. My lab also has medical issues, such as yeast and severe allergies which I do give him medication and provide physical relief through prevention and replacing his biting of himself to me petting the area. I also care for my mom’s dog (boxer mix) when they’re busy or at work. He is very energetic so for him I try to keep engaged. I will follow the instructions from the owner first! Before I do anything that I’m not certain of I will communicate before hand. I am good with household tasks such as cleaning!

On a day as hectic as our wedding day, leaving your loved one with someone they don’t know can be worrisome. I’m here to say after the fact that Riley was amazing. If you happen to come across her profile, don’t hesitate to book her. She was caring and friendly to our furball. Sent pictures that made us smile throughout our big day. Thanks Riley and God bless you. 100/10
Erin is very sweet. Our pets warmed up to her quickly, they know a nice person when they meet one. She is very responsive to communication and sends pics. I leave a ton of info about pets and she was very accommodating to all my pet suggestions :) Feel fortunate to have connected with Erin!

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 Golden Grove 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 Golden Grove 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 Golden Grove 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.
