“This was our first time using Brittney we needed a dog sitter on short notice. We had two meet and greets and felt very comfortable with her. While we were away, she did a great job taking care of all three dogs sending us updates and photos. The dog seemed to enjoy having her around and seemed to be very comfortable with her. We will definitely be using Brittney in the future.”
“Ari did a great job with our pups! She sent me multiple "check in" texts with pictures, letting us know how everyone was doing. I appreciated that very much. Our house was left exactly as we left it for her, which I also appreciated. 🤪 We're looking forward to more House Sitting stays by Ari.”
“This is the second time using Rebecca. She was very prompt, responsive, provided updates including pictures and most of all took great care of my dog. She can be a nervous dog and she feels comfortable with Rebecca.”
“We had Chris house sit and watch our dogs for the first time, and we could not have been happier with the experience! From our initial meet and greet through the very last day, Chris was incredibly professional, kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Most importantly, it was clear how loving and caring he was with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was a fantastic communicator and sent us photos and a daily update, so we always knew how the pups were doing. We also ended up needing some last-minute flexibility toward the end of our trip, and Chris was so accommodating and easygoing about it, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. We’re so pleased to have found Chris and will absolutely be using him as our go to dog sitter from now on. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, communicative, professional, and genuinely caring with their pets!”
“So grateful for Damica during our time away. She always sends pictures and took our boys out on walks and visits to the dog park. We never have to worry about being away and our boys not being taken care of! 💜”
About: Having had dogs and cats all my life, I have had such a fond experience with pets. I currently care for my elderly and blind family dog and he is very much my baby. I love being able to spread the love and help care for others’ fur babies as well :) I work full time, so pet care would take place mostly on weekends or after my work day. My work schedule is typically 7-3 or 4. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am a homeowner with one dog, so I have plenty of space for your furry friend! I am mindful of clients’ homes and requests and am happy to follow directions for special care (such as administering medication or going on walks/throwing the ball, etc.)
“Marek stepped up to the plate and accepted a last minute day care request. My dog had a riotous day playing with his dogs and got more than his share of exercise. Marek's rates are very low and don't reflect the care that he gave to my grateful pet.”
“This is the first time I've used Rover.com. I was a bit nervous having a perfect stranger staying in my house. I shouldn't have worried. Shelly was great. My dog is healthy and happy and my house is fine. I was surprised to find she had washed the bedding and towels she used and remade the bed. Thanks, Shelly.”
About: Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care as if they were my own. I've been taking care of dogs since a young age. I am an animal lover. Growing up I've owned over 10 dogs. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I love to cuddle, play walk etc. I love animals! I will take care of your fur babies as if they are my own! We will play and go for walks! They will be comfortable and in a safe space until you return! I have had dogs of my own all my life! They just want be loved like we do! So why not love them! I take great joy in walking with them and playing catch! Most dogs are like little humans that can't talk! But they will definitely get their point across. We will be on a schedule of eating and go outside to play and potty. My drop off and pick up times are from 6am-7:25am, 12pm-1pm and any time after 5 Monday-Friday. (can be flexible just let me know the time ahead of time) Saturday and Sunday pick up and drop off anytime. we will play and have fun. As far as eating if they have a certain eating schedule let me know and I can follow by that. Majority of my front yard is fenced. I will go outside to let your dog to use the potty. I also have a big field not far from my home for then to run and be walked around.
“We are always scared to leave our dog with a stranger, but Sammy did great!! She updated me each time she went over and sat with him for a while so he wasn’t alone for so long. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Chandler was awesome. Very kind and considerate and managed all my animals well. I have 1 cane corso and 1 pitty and with them being bigger dogs, I was concerned about them being too much for one person. But Chandler handled it like a real pro and was great with our senior cat as well!”
“Kelly did a great job taking care of our senior dachshund Daisy (and our home). She put us at ease with a meet and greet prior to our night away. Kelly is a great communicator and sent several pictures of Daisy while we were gone. We will definitely have Kelly back to stay with Daisy again!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. From dogs and cats, to reptiles, fish and rodents! I’m very good at training. I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, starting with an elderly ladies puppy cocker spaniel. I’m also very patient, and I love activities like walking, and playing. I currently have mornings from 6am-4pm available. I have night classes from 5pm-11pm Monday-Thursday. My weekends are available with open availability being Friday-Sunday I have a fenced in yard, with one dog, one cat, and one Betta! We have a feeding schedule, we take walks, and so mentally stimulating activities such as training and puzzles
“Needed some last minute help watching my Dog Catie. Thank goodness Heather came to my rescue. Very responsible willing to go above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable with her even offered to stop and get treats for her on her way. Send pictures of our pup so we knew she was happy. Very nice and communicative. I would recommend”
About: Since I was little I've always had a dog to care for. Not a moment goes by where I’m not thinking of an animal . I have experience with puppy potty training, and elderly dogs. I’m comfortable with walks and park time :) Pet care fits right into my routine because I am home a lot with my son. But we also love hiking and adventure. So the dogs can join us! This allows lot of outdoor time and exercise. I live with my so there are always extra hands. My mom doesn’t work right now so there is always someone in the house to keep your animal company if I have to work. Which is only a few hours a few days a week. My mom is Mia and is an approved rover sitter on my profile :) I love keeping the dogs active and letting them play. I have a large fenced in yard with a doggy door so they can always feel free to use the potty or get some fresh air. Plus park visits! I treat my dogs like guests. They can join me to cuddle on the couch or bed ❤️ their comfort is my top priority so they feel safe while you’re out of town .

Brittany was an amazing dog sitter for our 3 year bernadoodle Tucker! She sent us several updates and communicated extensively while we were out of town. It gave us peace of mind to know that Tucker was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Brittany again in the future! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative dog sitter.
Kaelyn did an amazing job with our dog. He recently had back surgery and she made me feel very comfortable leaving him at home with her. She was quick to communicate with me and sending me updates/pictures of him while I was gone. I will definitely be using her services again.
Jasmine was a great house sitter for our 2 older dogs and cat! She was prompt in responding to our messages and asked questions when issues came up. She also sent lots of pictures and updates so we weren’t wondering how our pets were faring during the our trip. Our pets aren’t the easiest but she did an exceptional job taking care of them and we will absolutely book with her 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 Homecroft 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 Homecroft 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 Homecroft 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.
