“I hired Caroline to petsit my dog Kobe for seven days. Kobe is special needs as he is four years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of three. He takes anti-seizure meds throughout the day which is one of the reasons I work from home, and I am super overprotective of him. When we did our first meet-and-greet, Caroline came armed with a notepad and questions about Kobe, his likes, dislikes, and his habits. She wanted me to show her where everything was and was very mindful of every thing I told her concerning Kobe and his routine. She is a very kind young lady and seemingly loves animals. I have a camera and was able to check in on Caroline and Kobe throughout the 4.5 hours she'd be at my house. She is really responsive and good about letting me know when she arrives at the house, takes pictures throughout her shift, also videotapes her giving him his meds, and even proof of his poop events. All this is stuff she might have learned in her training with Rover, or just from her own experiences. I didn't ask for all that detail, but am not complaining to get the whole scoop on my dog while I am out. To pass the time while she sits my pooch, Caroline reads, writes, does stuff to keep herself occupied, even takes short naps with my dog, and I appreciate she feels comfortable enough in my home to be relaxed because our pets can sense those types of things. When Kobe first met Caroline he could not stop giving her kisses, and jumping up on her lap, he was so happy and excited he was crying he just could not contain his joy. Our pets are the ultimate judges, so I suggest you do a meet-and-greet with her and take it from there. Do I recommend her? Absolutely, as I will be using her again and again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Sophia! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away! We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book again!”
“Rachel was amazing! She did a great job watching our dog, Bodie. She was incredibly reliable, kept Bodie happy and on schedule, and was very respectful of our home. We loved the updates. Highly recommend Rachel!”
“Sarah was phenomenal! I really appreciated how communicative she was, she took great care of my house, and she loved/cared for our dogs like they were her own. Would absolutely book again! Thanks Sarah!”
“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!”
“Michele is the absolute best dog sitter! I had so much anxiety about leaving my senior dog for ten days, but I felt at ease as soon as I met Michele. It is very apparent that she is a genuine animal lover, and my dog took to her right away. She sent updates, photos, and videos regularly, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that my pup was getting tons of love and attention. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Cate was fantastic! This was my first time using her and won’t be my last! She was very responsive and sent lots of updates. Most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when I got home! Highly recommend Cate!”
“Tatiana was super communicative and attentive with our dog Sullivan! He has been dealing with some health issues and we were very grateful to have someone who could administer his medication and stay with him in our home. We would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be reaching back out to her whenever we need a petsitter again!”
“Shayla has watched Tyson two times, and both times he was taken care of perfectly. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent some great pictures of him. It feels great going out of town and knowing that Shayla is watching Tyson, we know he’s in such good hands with her.”
“Abby did a great job with our Yorkie. This is our second time having Abby babysit our fur baby. She also leaves your house in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend Abby.”
“Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++”
“Emma is a fantastic person to care for your pets and your home. After finding out I needed last minute surgery, I worried about finding the right care for my dogs. Emma flawlessly cared for my two semi-neurotic chihuahuas with love, humor and professionalism while I was gone for multiple nights. I received timely updates, my dogs were happy, their medication schedule was adhered to properly, my home was just as I left it (if not better!), and overall I returned to the feeling that I had worried about my dogs for nothing and everything had worked out in the best way possible. I can’t thank Emma enough for making me and my and pups feel safe and secure that every detail would be handled just as if I was home with them.”
“Andy & Erin were absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. They sent plenty of updates and were easily reachable and responsive while we were traveling. They’re delightful people in general, and Darwin was immediately super comfortable with them. We’re already planning to have them back for our next trip.”

“Lyndi was absolutely amazing!! Our pup loved the long walks and snuggles with her while we were away. She was always sending pics of their adventures and so easy and quick to communicate with! Book book book before we book her again 🤍”
“Shianna was recommended to us by our regular sitter and we could not be more grateful! Shianna scheduled a meet and greet quickly and was super understanding with our girl dog who gets a bit nervous with new people. Shianna was super sweet and receptive to our dogs needs. She was kind, sent regular updates and kept us informed of her schedule during our weekend trip. We came home to a clean home and happy animals! Overall we would absolutely trust Shianna to care for our pups again, and will be reaching out for future needs. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who is in need of a trustworthy person to look after their home and their animals! ✨”
“Ruth is the sitter we have always dreamed of! We’ve been through a few that never quite meet my expectations but Ruth went above and beyond. She is amazingly friendly, clean and very caring with our 3 pups and crazy cat. We felt very comfortable and at peace while she was house sitting. Will definitely be using her again!!”

Hanna was absolutely wonderful with Zoe and Teddie! I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom, but she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured while I was away. She followed all their instructions carefully, kept me updated, and treated them with so much love and patience. I came home to two happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dogs. I’m incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Hanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Andy & Erin were absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. They sent plenty of updates and were easily reachable and responsive while we were traveling. They’re delightful people in general, and Darwin was immediately super comfortable with them. We’re already planning to have them back for our next trip.
We could not have been more pleased with Cate. Her communication was exceptional and she took great care of our sweet dog. We loved getting pictures of.Cookie almost daily and appreciated that she asked questions and took good care of our baby. When we got home, it was evident that our dog was emotionally happy and had had a good time with her. We would highly recommend.Cate for long-term stays!
It was evident within the first few minutes that Dottie was going to enjoy her weekend with Gabrielle. Having rescued Dottie three weeks prior I was a little apprehensive but any concerns I had were immediately gone when I saw Gabrielle's interactions with Dottie.
Grace was an excellent sitter for our dogs and cat. She came to the meet and greet with good questions about their care and sent me frequent updates, including photos and videos. Grace also watered my garden every morning so my plants looked great when we returned. I will definitely be using her services again!

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 Hightsville 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 Hightsville 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 Hightsville 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.
