“Jennifer was great with our two little guys. They can be challenging, we have a 3 month old pup and and 2 yr old pit that love to play and need lots of attention and Jennifer handled it like a pro. Very professional, great communication and followed specifics for each of our guys to a T. Would highly recommend and will definitely book with her again next time our little guys need care.”
“Dawn was so sweet and very attentive to Max’s need and personality. We were were so comfortable leaving him in her care. We will definitely be contacting Dawn again!! Thank you?❤️”
“Kelley was fantastic with my pups and took into account all their quirks! She even got my really picky eater to eat all his meals. The house was even cleaner than I left it when we got back!”
“Mackenzie was amazing with the puppies. Didn’t hesitate to reach out to me if she had questions about anything and sent me some cute photos. She also went above and beyond in helping my husband and I out by dropping us off/ picking us up from the airport. Already booked her again for when we go out of town next month!”
About: We are a close family of all adult children who together breed and train emotional support animals. I am someone you can trust last minute or with extensive planning to make sure your vacation or time away goes off without a hitch. Reliability and Integrity are crucial when it comes to caring for your fur babies and I know how important these qualities are and how rare it is to find. I prefer to housesit in the comfort of your own home and have years of experience in doing so with our local veterinarians. I have cared for aggressive dogs that are very protective of their owner, the ones that attack when you are around, but once you leave cuddle in my lap. Busy pups and dogs that need to play, go on walks, learn tricks, and play ball to lap dogs or those who a little old and slow. I know tiny teacups need you to watch them uber carefully in every way to Large Bernese Mountain Dogs that seem super loud and scary but only require a bit more strength. I am changing my career focus from occupation to avocation. I am focusing on moving my business from the service industry to retail where I will be a delegative manager. My children are all in college in different cities where I spend time away with each one. I keep my schedule updated and flexible so that same day care is available when I am home while allowing me to change my plans to fit your required needs. I prefer to keep pets your pets at home where they are comfortable and to prevent separation anxiety. From my personal experience as a breeder and trainer and having very special fur babies of my own this is my personal preference. My pets do not need to share in the experience and they are kept at home and do not interfere with our arrangement. However, I have a 2200 square foot home with 3 acres that are mostly fenced in. I usually walk pets around the property and those that are well trained are able to stay close by where I can unleash and play. Those that need extra care will be walked for their daily duties. I actively work online and am able to keep busy while hanging our at your home keeping everything nice and tidy just as your left it.
“Where to begin? Jenn is awesome. She is very kind and attentive to my fur baby. My pup Lucy Goosey loves her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She even helped me find an alternative sitter when she was unavailable for Lucy due to another booking. It’s nice to leave home and know my baby and home are well cared for with Jenn there. She also sends tons of updates and videos/pics! We love her and hope to stay as one of her regular clients :) Thank you Jenn!!! :)”
“Caitlin was fantastic! This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our pups for five days. She kept us informed the entire time, sending updates and pictures of our dogs. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned, just as we left it. Our pups got along wonderfully with her, and we will definitely be booking her again for dog sitting.”
About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!
“Javel took great care of our Nina and updated us with video and pictures of her while we were away! This was the first time we used a dog sitting service and we're so glad that we found Javel! Highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again in the future! 😁”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. Taking care of pets is already a natural part of my everyday life. I have 5 pets of my own, so I’m used to making time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and don’t see pet care as a chore. I’m happy to work their routine into my day and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I like to learn their personality and what makes them comfortable so I can give them the care and attention they’re used to. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they have plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of love.
About: I am an experienced pet parent with two rescue pups, a special needs senior husky, and an anxious, high-energy pit mix. I understand dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs! Whether it’s senior care, puppy training, or calming anxious pups, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve!" I am currently self-employed and I get to set my own schedule, so I have a lot of flexibility in my days at this time. "Whether it's checking in, going for a walk, or just spending time, I will treat your pup like my own. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dog, a high-energy pit mix with anxiety, and recently lost my senior husky who had a lot of medical needs, I understand that every dog has unique needs, personalities, and quirks. I have experience with everything from managing medical care for senior pups to helping anxious dogs feel safe and secure. Whether your dog needs extra patience, plenty of playtime, or just a comforting presence, I’m here to provide the same love, care, and attention I give my own furry family."
“Cortney was awesome. She did a great job taking care of my apt and Winnie. She sent me soooo many great pictures that I’m so grateful to have. She kept me up to date on how Winnie was doing, let me know when she got her medicine, and ate her food. It was like I was still at home seeing it all. Super appreciate for her special care. I will definitely book with Cortney again.”
About: I have experience in specialty puppy care, and I have managment experience in a boarding/daycare center. I have a lot experience with all varieties of pets!! I love animal care, I am making this my primary income! I plan to go back to school in the fall to finish my degree. I have all essentials needed for the care of both a pup or kitty! I have kennels, leashes, toys, etc. all items needed for a great day/ weekend spent.(:
About: I spent a few years working at an animal hospital. I am able to administer both oral medication and insulin. I had a diabetic dog myself and gave him insulin shots twice a day for four years. I am also very good with cats and know how to take care of chickens. Animals are my passion. My life revolves around animals. Taking care of my animals is basically what my life is about. I am big in to animal activism; animals are my life. They will be treated like family! I know how to take care of animals properly and keep them safe. I always feed dogs separately and watch them when they go outside.
“Lucilla was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and courteous with us, but more importantly she made our nervous and strong-willed dogs feel at ease. She has a calm confidence that dogs will really align with. We look forward to using her to care for our fur babies in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Jaden was amazing. Took great care of my furbabies which gave me peace of mind. She answered all my questions and sent me updates throughout her stay. Definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
“Bryce was amazing. Our dogs loved him. He took good care of our place and our fur babies and we will be booking him again. We recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! He left us a cute Polaroid of our furbabies and we thought it was very endearing and thoughtful. 😍”
About: I am a dog loving patient person who enjoys long walks. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have been around teacup Chihuahuas to big and active dogs such as Shepherds, Great Danes, and high energy Greyhounds and Catahoulas. I have owned and taken care of several big dogs most of my life to include: a Shepherd, Black Labs, a couple Dachshunds and a full-blooded Catahoula; so I understand the rigours of the exercise that they need. I am available almost anytime, except for the hours of church. Give me a shout and if you would prefer to meet me before entrusting your faithful companion or baby to my care, I would be happy to meet up with you and rover to see how we click.

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 Goshen 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 Goshen 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 Goshen 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!

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 .

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.
