“Michelle did a fantastic job caring for both my Frenchies. She followed every instruction given, she stayed in close contact sending me pics and updates on things my silly dogs were doing. Best of all, I came home to happy dogs and a clean home! Thank you Michelle!”
“We have had multiple sitters and Reily is truly the best. She is professional, thoughtful, communicates, and is respectful of our space and home. She will be our go-to from now on!”
“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Leah is the first person to watch our pets (out of many) with whom I felt completely comfortable and didn’t worry about my pets constantly. She was communicative and made it clear that she takes care of our pets like she would her own!”
“Christian was a great sitter for my 3 dogs! He is dependable, filled instructions and communicated well. My dogs seemed pleased😊 I will refer you to my friends thank you!!”
“Dora was absolutely wonderful. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them. Left our house as she found it - maybe cleaner!- and sent lots of videos and texts. Will definitely have her back!”
“Will was very attentive to Penny. Checked in on her, fed her at same time everyday and stayed overnight with her. When I came back on Sunday, she was very content, and not stressed at all. I will use Will again.”
“Jean-Paul was an excellent sitter for our two English Bulldogs. He provided lots of pictures and updates, which was great! He’s gone above and beyond to make sure our dogs are loved and cared for while we’re away.”
“Gabriella was an amazing pet sitter! She sent tons of photos and kept us updated while we were away!! Thank you so much and I hope you will be able to watch our fur baby again soon!”
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
“Rebekah was a great house / dog sitter! My dog was in a cone and had some meds he had to take and she handled it all great, especially since it took him a moment to warm up and settle in. She was patient with him, very communicative and had the sweetest things to say about him! I will definitely book Rebekah again in the future.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for animals through pet sitting (dogs, puppies not yet potty trained, birds, and cats), as well as fostering puppies and bunnies (not currently available for fostering), dog walking, and volunteer work with humane societies in multiple states. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and house sitting. I also have nearly two years of professional and independent home-care experience, including cleaning private homes and Airbnbs and house sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in someone else’s home and treating their space with respect. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and weekend care, and can often accommodate different routines and schedules with advance notice. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and following each owner’s specific routine and instructions. I have experience pet sitting, house sitting, and professionally cleaning private homes and Airbnbs, so I understand the trust involved in being in someone else’s home. I’m attentive to doors, gates, feeding instructions, medications, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety.
“Bryanna was great with George! She followed all directions without issue and sent many pics. Always keeping me updated on how she was doing. Arrived early and was flexible when I needed a little extra time. I will use her again if I have to come back to San Antonio! Really great job.”
“Ally watched our older cat Chingie over the holidays and was amazing. She made sure to give him everything he needed and lots of love and sent lots of pictures and video. This let us enjoy our time away from home instead of being worried. Would definitely recommend and would love for her to watch him anytime we are away.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond our expectations. This is the first time we've used someone we didn't know to watch our dog. Nervous about being gone for a week. Jennifer sent pictures, went on walks, played with our dog and much more. Jennifer was texting us each day with updates. Would highly recommend Jennifer and Rover service if you need someone to watch your dog.”
“As a first time Rover user, I didn’t know what to expect. Tiffany went out of her way to make our two dogs her own. She put my mind at ease with pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing. It makes a difference when someone loves your dogs as much as you do!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grey Forest
Reily is simply amazing! The love and care she showed our pups was like they were her own. Not is she amazing with Aspen and Sterling, but she took amazing care of our home. We came home and it looked like we never had left. Our home was spotless! To top it off there were fresh baked cookies that were still warm when we got home. We will never book anyone else!

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 Grey Forest 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 Grey Forest 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 Grey Forest 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.
