About: I’ve had at least 1 dog living with me and my family since I was born, so I grew up helping take care of all our dogs throughout the years. Our current dog is a Pomeranian that acts more human than dog sometimes. I’m a current student at SCAD so classes take up most of my time, but on weekends and nights I am way more available to help out. I love animals so much, whether they be small fluffy little puppies, old yet dignified cats, or even reptilians just vibing in their own little spaces, I never want any animals to be upset or get hurt, so I’ll do whatever I can to make sure your pet receives the best care I can offer.
About: Hi, my name is Katelynn and I have many animals of my own, both big and small, furry and scaley. I have years of experience working with animals. When I was a student, I ran a business through Rover and kept a 5 star rating with over 80 reviews. I have also managed a doggy daycare facility, worked for shelters, and volunteered with many different rescues. Because of this, I have gotten the chance to work with many breeds and different personalities. I understand how to care for both high-energy dogs and the ones that are more timid, like my own. I also have experience with senior and special needs dogs. I know that leaving your best friend(s) with someone else is hard, and I will make sure you stay updated the entire time they are with me. Their happiness, as well as yours, is my number one priority! Your pup will end their vacation exhausted, happy, and clean. What could be better than that? I also understand how difficult it can be to find trustworthy pet care without breaking the bank, especially when you have multiple pets. I will do my best to keep my rates as low as possible without sacrificing quality care. If you have any questions about pricing, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home and will be able to entertain your pets most of the day. The only time I’ll need to leave your house is to take care of my own pets while my husband is at work, which won’t take more than a couple hours. I am able to provide whatever care is best for you and your pet(s). My schedule is extremely flexible and allows me to ensure your pet is well loved during their time with me!
About: Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom of four and a proud dog mom to three wonderful pups. Our home is always full of love, play, and plenty of tail wags! With years of hands-on experience caring for both children and dogs, I’ve mastered the art of patience, nurturing, and staying on top of everyone’s needs—furry or not. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy nap sessions, or sticking to special routines and diets, I’m here to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment while you're away. Let me give your pet a home-away-from-home (or in your home) experience that’s filled with attention, affection, and fun! As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide full attention and care to your pet, while seamlessly fitting it into my daily routine. My schedule is built around the needs of my children and pets, allowing me to offer personalized care for your furry friend—whether that’s for walks, playtime, or just cuddles. With summer break upon us, my time becomes even more flexible. My kids are home and ready to help with extra pet care tasks, making it easy for me to accommodate more visits, longer walks, or additional time for special needs. Whether you need care during the day or overnight stays, I can ensure your pet is well taken care of, while balancing everything with the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they’re staying in my home or yours. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I take extra precautions to ensure your pet is always safe while outside. I supervise all outdoor play and walks closely to prevent any mishaps, creating a secure environment where your pet can enjoy the fresh air without worry. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, ensuring that areas are safe and comfortable for all pets, with a quiet, and peaceful atmosphere when needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow all your guidelines, routines, and instructions to maintain consistency. I respect your home and the trust you place in me, offering daily updates and being fully present to attend to your pet’s needs. I also make sure the environment is secure, keeping your pet safe from potential hazards. You can count on me to provide not just love and attention, but a trustworthy, safe, and reliable experience, so you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in my care.

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 Hope 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 Hope 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 Hope 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
