About: Hi! I’m Andrew. I grew up with dogs and now care for them through Rover because I genuinely miss having one around every day. I provide a safe, clean home with a fenced yard, lots of playtime, walks, and plenty of updates while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Im currently working 3-11pm 5 days a week but I’m switching to mornings on 8/30/26 and those shifts will be 5am-1pm or 6am-2pm. Most of the time I’m off Sundays and Mondays but my schedule does occasionally change. I have a fenced yard, an upstairs and downstairs with a doggy gate leftover from our last dog, plenty of waste bags and dog leashes and some leftover toys. It is a very comfortable clean house.
“Stephanie stayed overnight at our house with our two dogs and they loved every minute! They got extra snuggles and comfort during a thunderstorm. She’s definitely the best!”
“Olivia was great with both of our dogs. She kept us well informed and the dogs were happy when we returned home. Olivia stayed overnight and was super responsible and respectful of our home. We highly recommend Olivia and will certainly reach out in the future!”
“Amelia stayed in our home and looked after our geriatric small dog recently. (This was our first experience with Rover). On a previous trip when she’d been boarded, our dog hadn’t eaten and had lost several lbs, so we needed help. Amelia was perfect! My dog was able to stay home with no change to her routine. I received pics, texts and had an stress-less trip thanks to Amelia!”
“Megan was great! Super sweet and our pups just loved her. Recieved updates throughout her stay to help us feel more at ease. We would recommend her to anyone who needs services!!!”
“Amanda is amazing! She was so caring with my two dogs, that I believe they miss her already! I never had to worry for a moment about them being lonely. She went above and beyond anything I could ever have expected in the attention that she gave them… and my home. She and her boys gave my pups the love and attention they crave. Even my neighbors commented about how friendly she is and how the dogs enjoyed their walks with her. I highly recommend!”
About: I started my pet sitting business once I graduated high school in 2012. I did brief pet sitting while in high school and that’s what made me realize I wanted to have a career that involved being around animals. I’ve watched from the age of 8 weeks old puppies to 15 year old dogs. I’ve also watched cats, ducks, and peacocks. I do currently work full time as a receptionist but I plan on quitting that to make my pet sitting business a full time gig for me. I usually pet sit in the clients home due to me having to move back in with my parents. I either stay at their house or do visits. Whichever makes the clients more comfortable.
About: I have been around family pets from the age of 5 years old. At 17, I raised my own dog from a puppy as well as participated in obedience training up to the advanced level. I have worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes through house sitting and volunteering, and I have experience with dogs of all ages from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have also had pet cats and enjoy caring for them and their needs. PLEASE NOTE: New clients must book a minimum of 5 nights for the first stay. My job allows me to work fully remote, meaning that my place of work allows me to be flexible for extended stays as well as have pauses throughout each day for the ideal at-home pet care schedule. I strive to maintain a routine as close to each pet's home life as possible. I set clear and simple boundaries for clients' pets that reflect those of their owner and allow them to feel at home with me as their sitter.
“Do not hesitate to book with Madison! She is super communicative and sends regular photos & updates during her stay. I used her for house sitting while I was out of town on business. She kept my mind at ease that my old fur baby was being super well taken care of and I only have Madison to thank!”
About: I've had furry family in my life for as long as I can remember. From having my own pups to watching pets for friends and family, I love all animals and it would be my pleasure to love yours. My schedule is currently open for whatever you and your pet needs. Let me know your pet's schedule and I will be happy to accommodate. It is my pleasure to spend time with your pet/pets. Great care is taken to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and happy.
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
About: I've owned dogs all my life and always had a role in taking care of them. I have always owned German Shepherds, so I have lots of experience with very large dogs. I have formal obedience training experience and was able to get my first dog her Canine Good Citizen certificate. I have been officially dog sitting for 10 years, and have cared for all types of dogs, including weimeraners, pitbulls, labs, doodles, shepherds, goldens, basset hounds and terriers. I have also been cat sitting since age 8 and have experience with cats of all sizes and ages. I recently graduated from UNC Law School and took the bar exam, and I am looking for some work in the interim while I wait for exam results and search for a legal job. I am living with family in the Wilmington area! I love animals of all kinds. I am most looking forward to taking jobs on rover because I'll get to meet so many pets! As well as feeding and playing with your pets at home, I would love to take them on walks, jogs or maybe car rides to the park (whatever you are comfortable with)! I have lots of experience walking bigger, stronger dogs on a leash so I'd be comfortable doing this with your pets if you'd like!
“Alissa has been so accomodating, and so willing to work with us to try to help our anxious rescue dog get more comfortable with her. It's so important to us to feel like our dogs are safe and in kind and caring hands, and Alissa definitely made us feel comfortable!”
“Very punctual, communication and timing were excellent and above all else my pup absolutely Loved Gavin! Highly recommend using Gavin for walks/out of town trips requiring a sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hampstead
Natalie did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our pets! She sent us pictures and checked in with us every day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, the house was left in great condition, and it was obvious that our pets had been well loved and cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Natalie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets and home!
Elizabeth was a great sitter - her calm, friendly personality was a perfect fit for our pup! We appreciated her reliability and communication throughout the process. We returned to a happy pup and a tidy house. We'd recommend her to others - Thank you, Elizabeth!

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 Hampstead 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 Hampstead 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 Hampstead 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.
