About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked as a pet sitter for three different families. During that time, I cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, providing companionship, administering basic care, and following each family’s specific routines and instructions. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep the environment clean, provide fresh water, monitor their well-being, and give them attention. I believe clear communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit.
“Kaelyn has been great for our little Shih-Tzu. She is calm and super easy going. Besides being good with our pet, she has been prompt to respond to requests, punctual and helpful.”
“Vicki was thorough in the process of getting to know my fur babies before she stayed with them, which I appreciated. She was patient with my anxious pup, too. She brought in several packages that were delivered during her stay! I would definitely have her stay with my babies again!”

“Kerrie is a blessing to take care of your pups. She takes extra special care of making sure that each pup gets the attention that they need. She took extra care and love with my german shepherd who apparently didn't like that I was gone. She is so patient and her attention to the pups needs are amazing. She does an amazing job of keeping me up to date on the pups day and she takes pictures of them as well. Kerrie is wonderful and she made my trip away from the pups easier so that I didn't have to worry about their care. Thank you so much Kerrie! You are the best and I know the pups loved having you take care of them.”
“My husband and I just went on a 6 night trip and it was my first time leaving my pups with someone other than my mom. Our dogs LOVED her from the first meeting and she did great with them the whole time we were gone. Super communicative and she took good care of our home and our dogs while were gone. Sent daily updates and pictures. Highly recommend Savannah!”
“I am so happy my first choice for a dog sitter was Stephine and Jon. I had never left my fur babies with a sitter before, so I was nervous but Jon and Stephine put me at ease right away with pictures and text messages. They stayed in our home and left it like we never left. Lucy and Molly kept looking for them when we got home!”
“Anthony did a wonderful job caring for our two one-year-old puppies. He was very communicative and kept us updated with great photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He has a fantastic personality—friendly, reliable, and professional. We’d be happy to book with him again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds for over 21 years. My wife and I have been lucky to have been parents to 5 dogs. We currently have two but we have had up to 4 at one time 🤗. They've all lived long lives even though 2 passed from cancer. We still take in strays and make every effort to get them back to their homes. I ensure our pets have regular visits to the vet, eat good food, and are groomed regularly. I gently train them to be well behaved members of our pack. I love all animals and believe they should be treated well. I am retired and have plenty of time to walk and play with them on a daily basis basis. I look forward to making sure your fur babies get plenty of exercise and fun. I have a fenced yard on almost an acre of land with plenty of room to play and explore. Our two dogs are friendly while one is laid back and the other is a little more active and curious.
“How wonderful to be able to leave my 14 year old Boston for a weekend without worry! Bella was patient and kind with my old dogs quirky behavior, she made sure Goodie stayed warm and comfy during her stay, Bella was even gracious enough to deliver my old girl to my home! Service that was above and beyond what Goodie would have experienced at a ”regular”boarding facility. Thank you Bella!”

I can promise your animals will be safe with me, i also get along very well with cats, i have one of my own. I’ve understood that cats take very long to get used to and comfortable around new people and i am patient enough for that. Every morning before work, i let my aunts 4 dogs outside. i fill their food and water bowls as i take them out around 9 am. i bring in my aunts Argentinian dogo’s food bowl at 5pm (very big dog btw LOL) and throw in extra boiled chicken that they have made for him already.

I always make sure I create a safe, comfortable environment for my clients pet it is a top priority.

Alex watched our two dogs for three nights and did a fantastic job. He was respectful, kept everything super clean, and followed our care instructions exactly. He sent photos throughout so we always knew the pups were happy and doing well, which gave us peace of mind. We felt completely comfortable leaving them with him and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!
Darian was exceptional, he thought of everything with my two big dogs that could be very intimidating. My one dog is very reserved and shy and he even won him over. They were sleeping in his bed by the end of the trip. I can’t recommend Darian enough And anytime I need a sitter. I will be calling him first.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,198 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homeland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Homeland 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 Homeland 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 Homeland 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.
