About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. At 13, I started a neighborhood dog-walking business for owners who were “too pooped to walk their dogs,” which quickly grew into in-home and overnight dog sitting. I got my first dog at age ten and trained her myself, and I’ve since attended multiple dog training classes because I genuinely enjoy working with dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for pugs, golden doodles, pit bulls, and more for families that I have worked with through high school and college. Now that I have my own home (next to a park) I’m excited to start again with plenty of space, structure, and love for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an emergency nurse and work three days a week (every other weekend). This gives me most weekdays free and flexible for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. On my off days, I enjoy staying active with walking, running, and hiking, and I love including dogs in those activities for both exercise and enrichment. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives consistent attention, timely care, and plenty of love. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As an emergency nurse, I have strong medical training and stay calm and attentive in all situations, including emergencies. I closely follow pet parents’ instructions and routines in both my home and theirs, ensuring a low-stress, loving environment. I provide supervised play, secure walks, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Living next to a park gives dogs safe space to explore, exercise, and enjoy structured outdoor time while always being carefully monitored.
“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“She did an excellent job. Her watching my dogs at my home was very convenient. She followed my instructions and kept me up to date with how they were doing. I’ve already recommended her to my cousin. Thank you again”
About: working at a dog grooming salon, i've had hands-on experience with every breed imaginable, learning their unique temperaments, energy levels, and specific needs. this means I'm not just a sitter; I'm equipped to handle any dog, from tiny chihuahuas to giant great danes, with confidence, patience & gentleness 💞 pet care is a central part of my daily routine, where I prioritize consistent feeding schedules, dedicated playtime, and regular exercise to ensure every pet stays happy, healthy, and on track. i pay attention to detail, our animals are family, i can assure you they will be watched like a hawk and handled with care & plenty of love
About: I am the owner of a 6 year old Belgian Malinois and an almost 11 year old minature Daushund. Being the owner of a Belgian, I have been opened to a whole new world of dogs. I love to take them for walks, teach them, and find a confidence with dogs. I love cats as well. Senior pets are the best. They need gentle care at times, a bit more patience and a little more time from point A to point B. I am new to being a dog walker/ cat care giver, but my love of animals will shine through. I have taken care of my sisters cats, dogs, bunnies for over 20 years. Just getting started publically, but I will love you pet as if you are still at home! I do not have a fixed work schedule at this time to limit visitations. I am available for most times during the morning or afternoon. I will be glad to clean the litter box as needed and accidents made by the doggos, provide food and fresh water and other reasonable requests pertaining to your cats and dogs. And of course take your fur friends out for walks when needed. At this time, owning a Belgian Malinois, I do not offer home services to be provided in my home.
About: I am begining my pet care journey and desire to build long lasting relationships with families who value a having peace of mind knowing their dog is safe, excited, and loved while you are way. Pet sitting is much more than feeding and taking them to potty. Your dogs should have play time, snuggles, and great naps with someone who loves cares for them like their owners would. Thank you for considering me to take care of your pets, keeping their routines, and following all your instructions. I am looking forward to caring for your furry companions. I am a junior physical education major at Southern Wesleyan University. I am dependable, detail oriented, and compassionate. I have had many pets in my life and love each one of their personalities and loving hearts. I want to gain experience in this field to not only earn money for my education, but to gain understanding of the animals that make me forget the worries of this life. My schedule changes every semester, but I can consistently be available from 7pm to 7am on the weekdays and can stay at your house. While you are away I will also take care of house keeping duties like taking out the trash, washing the dishes, and keeping the house tidy. I will be more available on the weekends to play, walk, and entertain your furry family. I will not be available to board animals, but I will keep your pets safe in their home. All dogs need exercise, but keeping them safe is very important. I will walk dogs on leashes only and will never take your dog to a dog park. The environment may be great for socialization, but their is also a potential for dog on dog violence. I would also like to pet sit in neighborhoods, subdivisions, or gated communities so I can walk your pet in a safe place while also having neighbors to call in case of an emergency. I take your pets safety seriously. I would rather limit their play to a few places than to put them in danger. Your pet cannot be happy if they sense danger or are placed in an environment than increase their anxiety.
“Laycie was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Loki! She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay and sent us daily pictures, which made our day to see how much fun he was having! Laycie was also respectful of our space and left everything incredibly clean and tidy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter—we would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, I’ve had multiple dogs and have provided pet sitting services for countless dogs and cats over the years. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. The most I’ve cared for at one time is two dogs and two cats, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets while ensuring each one receives the care and attention they deserve. I genuinely love animals and have the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your pets while you’re away. Over the next few months, I’ll be out of school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep a clean environment, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Colleen was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd. She was so sweet and attentive with him, and she kept us updated throughout her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! I would recommend Colleen 10 out of 10 times and will definitely be using her again! 🐾❤️”
About: I've taken care of multiple rescue bunnies since I was 15 and gained experience looking after pregnant rabbits and newborn litters. In addition to rabbits, I also have a golden retriever named Bluey, who I've had fun training and taking care of since she was a puppy. I am also a college student majoring in Animal & Veterinary Sciences and am currently working at a veterinary clinic! Pet care fits into my daily routine and weekly routine because I already take care of my bunnies daily. Additionally, I aspire to become a veterinarian, therefore I hope to interact with and care for animals on a daily basis. I care for pets in my client's homes in a variety of ways. This can include feeding them, taking care of litter and waste disposal, grooming them, or just playing and spending time with your furry companions! My grooming services can range from bathing to brushing their fur and nail trimming. My purpose is to ensure that your furry loved ones are comfortable in their home and still feels loved and happy while you are away!

“Lee took excellent care of our pets and home for a week! We have an elderly lab, older cat, young cat, and a bearded dragon. His calm and caring presence helped our pets feel at ease in our absence. The communication was consistent and timely. We definitely would select him again for housesitting and pet care! He even took our trash down on trash day and vacuumed without being asked to do it.”
“Riley did a fantastic job with our dog. Not only did she keep us constantly updated with pictures, but she treated him so well and gave him a great week with her. She also kept our house in wonderful shape. We will absolutely book with Riley again!”

“It was wonderful to have Kyle take care of Stormie, we knew when we got home & Stormie was so happy that Kyle had done a great job. Kyle is great at communicating and following care instructions for Stormie. He is also a very compassionate care giver and it shows when he meets your pet. When Kyle would leave for an errand he would let us know and always checked in during the day to let us know that everything was fine. Stormie and I would definitely hire Kyle again”
“Kerstin had a nice overnight stay with Sadie. The house was immaculate when I returned home, and Sadie was a happy girl. I know she had lots of attention and snuggles! I would definitely use Kerstin again.”

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 Green Acres 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 Green Acres 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 Green Acres 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.
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.
