“Christina took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town getting married! We have never had someone stay in our home to take care of our animals besides family and there were no issues.”
“We’re so grateful for Analisa. She agreed to watch our boys at the very last minute and was excellent in communicating with us her entire stay. We will definitely be using her for our future needs.”
“Wow—we absolutely love Christina! From the very first message, her communication was outstanding. She took the time to come over for a meet-and-greet, and our furry family adored her immediately. Christina has such a calm, kind, and friendly presence, and we felt completely at ease welcoming her into our home. The daily photo updates were such a joy to receive and showed our crew happy, relaxed, and comfortably settled in all their favorite spots—exactly what every pet parent hopes for while traveling. Our home was left clean, tidy, and just as we had left it, which we truly appreciated. Christina is a gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and truly wonderful pet sitter. We’ve already booked her for another sit! Thank you Christina!”
“Grace was amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated and they were well cared for. She reached out with any questions. She also took great care of our house and kept everything tidy for us. We would absolutely use her services again!”
“Cheryl was great with my little pups and worked around their schedule- they are early risers. House was clean when I came home and most importantly, the dogs were safe.”
“I cannot say enough good things. Aichav is amazing. She took such great care of my dogs and house. They were looking for her this morning. Absolutely highly recommend and will be using her going forward”
“We recently had Christopher stay with our two French bulldogs for 7 days, and he did a great job. It looks like he followed our guidelines; he sent just enough pictures, and when we were quiet for a few days, I reached out, and he always responded quickly. The pups seemed good when we got home. Even the mail lady said he was really nice. We would definitely invite him back.”
“Amazing with dogs and you cannot tell Tyler stayed in your home. Retuned to a tired, happy dog and clean house. Spot on communication if needed and very nurturing to Jasper. See you next visit”
About: Hello! Thank you for considering my profile. I am a compassionate and dedicated Veterinary Assistant with a deep love for animals. I graduated from UCD, where I gained the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the veterinary field. With a strong sense of empathy and a natural ability to care for creatures of all kinds, I play a vital role in supporting veterinary teams to provide high-quality care. From administering medications to assisting in diagnostic procedures, I ensure that animals receive the best possible treatment. My responsibilities extend beyond routine care, including managing medication schedules, monitoring animal health, and offering comforting support to pet owners during difficult times. Whether it's providing post-operative care or preparing animals for their exams, my hands-on approach ensures that every animal is treated with the utmost respect and kindness. My attention to detail and dedication to improving the well-being of every animal I encounter make me an invaluable part of any team.

“Jasmine stayed one night in our house while we were away for the weekend, to feed and care for our mostly outdoor cat. She is a friendly, personable young woman who loves cats, and she was sweet and sensitive with our shy cat. She communicated well over the weekend, sending several photos and keeping us updated about when Maggie was in and out. We’d be happy to have her stay again; she’s even willing to be “on-call” to come over on short notice when our daughter goes into labor!”
“Wonderful! We couldn’t be happier! Hans communicated regularly with pictures and stories about Bailey’s day. He was great with our perky girl. Additionally, he took great care of our home. We look forward to having him for another sit. Thank you!”

My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years My schedule is open for full availability, everyday of the week, early morning and late nights. I have a passion for caring and loving on pets. To be successful as a pet sitter, you should be knowledgeable of animal behavior and adept at caring for all kinds of pets. Ultimately, an outstanding pet sitter should be able to perform animal CPR as well as demonstrate excellent communication, problem-solving, and customer service skills. Make sure the environment is clean without any things on the floor for them to chew on or pick up. Have a schedule for eating sleeping and play time. I love taking dogs to prospect park I live about 15 mins away.

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 Harrington 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 Harrington 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 Harrington 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
