“This was the first time I’d left my cat for this long. I’m glad Ella was his sitter to take care of and spend time with him. She was consistent and took the extra time and effort to pay attention to him and watch the house. Ella is very reliable and I definitely feel comfortable having her watch Gordon again if I go on another longer trip.”
“Brittany is a gem and we are so grateful we found her. She treats your pets like her own. Dependable, trustworthy and just a nice human. We are so happy we have a sitter for our “not so easy to handle” dog. He loves her and so do we!”
“Ariadne was a fabulous sitter for Thor! She’s super communicative, sent lots of photos and videos, and never let the little man get lonely. I didn’t have one moment of worry for him while we were out of town. It was so lovely having her in our home to keep our sweet boy company. I’ll definitely have her back for future sits!”
About: I really like to meet animals where they are. If they are high energy and love to play then that is what we will be doing. If they are a lounge on the couch kind of dog then I will lay with them. I currently have one dog and I have been able to teach him many tricks like roll and high five! I also have 3 cats who keep me busy but in a good way! I have dog sat before many times but I am excited to meet new animals on Rover. I work full time on the weekdays from 7:45-4. I would also be able to be at your home for a few minutes during my lunch break depending on the location. I have full availability Friday night - Sunday night I always make sure that I am following their routine and doing things the way that you would do them! I will ask any questions if I have them to make sure I am doing everything right. The animals would never be able to escape as I am very careful with doors and I always wrap leashed around my wrist for a second layer of protection
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about the dog sitter, Sydney! Leaving your pets and home behind while traveling can be stressful, but from the moment we left, I knew everything was in great hands. Our dogs were incredibly well cared for, loved, and treated like family during our entire trip. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our sitter genuinely cared about our pets’ happiness, routines, and well-being. Reliable, trustworthy, professional, and caring are just a few words I would use to describe the experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and home. We will absolutely be using them again in the future!”
About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up, my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house; so throughout my life I have gained experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way up to seniors. I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. Helping people care for pets on here seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
“Maura stayed with my dog and cat for 11 days while I traveled abroad. She was easy to communicate with, and I could tell she treated my animals as if they were her own. I highly recommend Maura for your pet sitting needs!”
“This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience it was. Mallory was able to help us out in a pinch. We needed a sitter for about three days/nights and were easily able to put together a schedule that worked for the both of us. Mallory was so attentive to not only Jesper’s needs, but ours and made us feel nothing but comfortable throughout the entire experience. We received photos and updates several times a day. Will 100% be booking again, couldn’t recommend Mallory enough!”
“My pups loved having Kayla look after them. She was very organized and kept track of specific details with them. I got lots of updates, and felt very confident they were in good hands.”
“Kristin did a great job looking after our two cats and the house. She kept us informed about how the cats were doing while we were away, and it was clear she gave them plenty of love and attention. We’ll gladly have her back again to kitty-sit.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have pet sat for family and friends since I was a teenager. I have done a little of everything from potty breaks, walks, to over night stays. I do have a full-time job 9-5:30 but have time in the morning, evenings, and weekends. Also my job will have a remote option in 2027 give me more flexibility. I take the time to ask the best way to keep your pet safe and what a typical day looks like for your family. I can walk dogs, let them out into a yard, and crate them if needed. Nothing is too much for me I have been around a lot of pets with different needs.

Im am very patient and loving when it comes to pets in my home, our family dog is going on almost 3 years old now and just a fun, happy, loving affectionate, caring dog as am I. I have no problem training pets with commands as I have taught my dog using treats, I have a dog park in my community that your pet can have plenty of fun and space for excersize and fun play. I have absolutely no problem taking pets baths, feeding, playing or walking as well. I live in a very large town home so there is plenty of space for pets to stretch out there legs, I also have 3 children and the pet is more then able to hang out with them and play in there rooms as well.

About: Ever since I was a very little girl, animals have been the object of my attention. My parents still love to tell stories about how as soon as I could walk, as little as 2, I would walk into pet shops and ask to hold snakes and other “scary” animals. I love them all and have had the luxury of either owning or taking care of every kind of pet. I truly mean every— dogs, cats, fish, turtles, lizards, birds (ducks, rescues, etc), tarantulas, frogs, newts, axolotls, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, moles, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and I’m sure I’m missing some. I’ve also taken care of an extensive array of bugs. Just ask! While I mainly and primarily care for furry friends— I have lots of experience with other pets. :^) I’m currently only working with Rover and with Wag Caregiver, so I am always at home! I spend all of my time at home with other’s people pets. I am almost exclusively at home. I leave to go to the store and run errands, but otherwise, I’m a complete home body. I have a fenced in yard, paired with a very safe and pet friendly neighborhood to walk your dogs. Aside from that, my home is perfectly equipped for your furry (or maybe not so furry!) companions. I work from home as a stay at home parent, so I am always with your loved one(s) and they have my undivided attention and love!
About: Hi, I’ve been around dogs all my life and love to care for them 😊 I was born on a military base so we moved around a lot, my care for dogs has tremendously grown over the years since Ive met so many of them lol I currently work from home so I’m very flexible on times needed to walk your dog. I’m available early morning hours to late at night. Making sure your dog feels safe is the most important thing to build trust. I can help make them feel loved and cared for as well as reduce their anxiety
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
About: Ive had dogs since I was growing up with two of my own now. They are like my children. We love when our friends visit and bring their dogs too! I like dogs more than people I work full time in a school district so I would be available for evening walks and/or stop ins (anytime after 3:15pm) with your 4 legged friends. I treat everyone's dogs like family. My own dogs are my kids. I am confident in my ability to watch and care for your sweet babies.
“Emily was a fabulous dog/house sitter. She took great care of Sage and he was happy and calm when we returned home! Emily followed our instructions and communicated with us when we were away. I will definitely ask her to help us out again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hogestown
Aria came highly recommended and did not disappoint! She was highly communicative and dependable. It’s clear that she is a “pet person” first and foremost, which was a must for me. I was concerned, having a challenging dog with behavior issues, but Aria was understanding and patient. Will definitely be hiring her again.
Stephanie was wonderful with our pups - this was the first time using her and for a week long trip, so we were a little apprehensive with a new sitter, but she was very responsible with the dogs; communicative with daily updates and photos; accommodated our two dogs of pretty varying ages and needs, working well with both; and left the house in good order. We will definitely use her again!
We had a great experience with Haley. Communication was excellent from start to finish — she responded quickly and was always easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. She kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our pets were clearly well cared for and in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!
How is this instead? This was our first time using the Rover app and we were so grateful to find Karen!! She was extremely responsive during for our week away from our dogs. Returning home our flight was delayed 3 times for being back and she was very supportive and understanding in taking care of the dogs. Our kiddos were very well taken care of and hit it off with Karen right away. Karen is very knowledgeable and trustworthy in taking care of the dogs in our home. We highly recommend Karen and she will be our go to next time we need any kind of dog services!!!
Christie took good care of our two pups while we were out of town celebrating Thanksgiving with our family. One of our dogs is suffering from a medical condition and Christie administered scheduled medication and physically assisted our little guy up and down the stairs. Christie sent pictures each day and the doggies were well taken care of.

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 Hogestown 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 Hogestown 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 Hogestown 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.
