“5 stars for Ethan! He stayed in our home to watch our two corgis for a week, both of whom require daily medication. He proactively updated us daily on how the stay was going and how the dogs were doing. He adjusted his care for our senior dog based on his temperament/activity level. He also proactively vacuumed up after the dogs, brought in mail/packages for us, and washed his sheets and towels before leaving. Will book again!”
“Katie was amazing! We have 2 large dogs, and she was willing to work with our recently adopted mastiff who is sweet but still struggling with some anxiety. Both dogs immediately loved her, and they had a great time while we were away. It wasn’t easy for sure, but she was patient and kind and kept in constant communication-adjusting to support Odin as needed! We are so lucky to have found her!”
About: I understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to leave your beloved pets with someone new. That’s why I’ll make it my priority to maintain their usual routine and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also send daily updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in good hands! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young kid! I have always loved animals and was always eager to take care of neighbors pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own which I adore. I currently live at home with my 2 dogs as my sister is taking care of the cats. I am a new graduate physician assistant currently applying to jobs and have time off at the moment! Have tons of availability to take care of your lovely pets:) Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, secure environment and always supervise pets appropriately.
“Leoni was a great sitter for our Goldendoodle! We could see her love for animals as soon as she walked in and made friends with our little guy in no time. She was on time and had good communication through the day. She even sent pictures with her updates! Would highly recommend her!!!”
“Christa stayed at my home and took great care of my dog while I was gone for a long weekend!! She was very responsive to my messages, sent daily updates with pictures and was respectful of my home. Hawthorne was tired when I got back which is always a sign of a good time!! Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up with a grandfather who owns his own clinic and is a veterinarian, I have had a lot of animals cats, dogs, and even a snake at one point. From these experiences, I have the ability and desire to take care of your pet and will do so with love and care. I’m a current college student home for the summer and holiday breaks and work part time at a local restaurant. This gives me ample amount of time to care for your little ones. I treat pets as members of the family.I personalize care according to the pets personality and the owners wishes, with safety as a top priority. I find out as much as I can about the pet beforehand so that I can foster a good connection from the start.
“Anna was great with our sometimes nervous, easily excitable, reactive 15 month old black lab, Gus and our 2 cats. She house sat for us and Gus made friends with her right away. He was happy and well taken care of the whole week. We would definitely recommend Anna to anyone!”
About: I feel very comfortable around animals. I will Also give cuddles. Giving them a moment of joy gives me happiness. I Love the tag wagging I do not have a full time job and I thought this would be a wonderful experience until I figure out what’s next. Life is good. I have 2 indoor Siamese cats that are actual sisters. Before that we had two dogs. They lived until Their teen years. It was devastating when we lost them.
About: I have had the honor of raising my dog for 10 years. I understand the responsibilities involved with taking care of a dog from birth to old age. I have also owned other pets which I have broadened my scope on how to take care of animals in general. Along with this, I have previously dog-sat for a neighbor with 2 dogs for 2 years, and love learning how to adapt to the needs of different dogs! In addition to this, I am a pre-med individual with hands-on experience taking care of people, so I understand the basic principles of being empathetic and caring towards others. I’m currently a student with classes strictly in the mornings, so I have a substantial amount of availability to care for your dogs! I am also open to any weekends (with the exception of Sunday mornings for church) and am extremely flexible! Regarding taking care of my own dog, I have been hands-on for the entirety of her life. I regularly take her for walks, play dates, I feed her, bathe her, and know what is required to take care of a dog. I have also dog-sat for others in the past
About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!
“Cindy stayed at our house for 4 days with our beagles She was caring and attentive; she sent pictures and updates. And she was a great house guest! The dogs loved being at home and all of the extra attention that came with it. We would definitely have her take care of our pets again and we would recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or the occasional bunny, I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need a reliable sitter. I have hands-on experience walking energetic pups, keeping older dogs comfy and calm, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I’m patient, nurturing, and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs slow walks, playful fetch sessions, or just a cuddle buddy, I’m here for it all. I’m also super dependable, quick to communicate, and will always treat your pets (and your home!) with respect and care. I’m currently home from college and have tons of free time, which means your pet will get my full attention! My schedule is super flexible, whether you need morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet. Since I’m not juggling classes or a packed routine right now, I can be reliable, consistent, and fully present for your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I always follow your specific instructions closely, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, and I keep everything clean and calm for your cat’s comfort. I’m extra mindful about doors, windows, and anything that could be a hazard, especially for curious pets! I also believe communication is key to building trust, so I’ll happily send photo updates and check-ins to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I always aim to leave your home just as I found it.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for years, including my own cat, Spot. Through daily care, I’ve learned to understand feline behavior, respect each cat’s unique personality, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering oral medications when needed, and making sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I’ll do my best to accommodate your cat’s routine and your scheduling needs. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, respectful environment, carefully follow your care instructions, and treat your home with the same care I would my own.

“Aidan stayed at our home and watched our 4 dogs for 10 days--not the easiest job. He was amazing. I think our house was neater than we left it and dogs were well loved and well cared for. He was very flexible and completely trustworthy.”
“Lexi did a very good job of caring for our for babies! We asked her to do several extra things and she did so willingly and did a very good job. I would highly recommend Lexi for pet sitting your for babies!”

About: I've been caring for dogs for the past 7 years, beginning when my former boss asked me to care for his dogs while he and his family were away on vacation. Since then, my experience has grown through caring for dogs from more than 25 families. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ranging from 10 pounds to over 100 pounds, as well as dogs who require medications or have special needs. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's individual routine, personality, and care requirements. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00AM to 3:30PM at the local state prison. Outside of my regular work hours, I am able to provide dedicated care for your dogs. When dog sitting, I stay at the client's home, allowing me to provide companionship and supervision throughout the evening and overnight. Depending on the location of the home, I may also be able to stop in during my lunch break to let the dogs outside and check on them. After work, I return to the client's home and spend the remainder of the evening there, providing plenty of attentions, playtime, and care. I'm a huge dog lover, and I've always enjoyed spending time with them. I've very attentive and enjoy playing with dogs, giving them plenty of affection, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When the weather is nice, I'm happy to take them outside for walks or playtime. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while they're in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Houserville
Ruth cares about the dogs she watches which is why she does an excellent job with them. She took care of Jeter's Diapers and all the mess that comes with that . Jeter looked great where the diaper wears. This means she put rash medicine on her and did a great job with feeding her and taking her out. Very Nice Job by Ruth and we will be looking to use her again in the future. Very responsible and caring person.
Milo was the perfect pet sitter for two pet parents who were nervous about leaving our dog with someone for the first time. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he had the compassion, patience, and attentiveness our sometimes-needy girl needs. He went above and beyond with the little details, including regular updates and photos, which helped us feel completely at ease, even hundreds of miles away from our beloved girl. When we came home, Mooshi was happily tired from all the playing and looked completely comfortable and relaxed. We would 100% recommend Milo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. He gave us complete peace of mind and took wonderful care of our girl. We will absolutely be reaching out to him again the next time we need someone to watch Mooshi. Thank you, Milo!
Jana was a lifesaver once again - she is so willing to work with you to assist during the times when life gets chaotic! She does a wonderful job giving oral meds to one of our kitties and providing them both with love and attention. I highly recommend booking Jana for your cat sitting needs!

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 Houserville 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 Houserville 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 Houserville 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.
