About: I bring more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through pet ownership, fostering, rescue work and helping operate a local pet-care business. I’m also a former co-owner of Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming and currently share my home with Hank, a therapy dog, and Howard, our rescue. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, rescue dogs and multi-dog households.

Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. I limit the number of clients I accept so I can provide dependable, attentive care and follow each pet’s established routine without rushing. I provide care in the client’s home, where pets are usually most comfortable and can maintain their familiar routine. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking and household instructions, keep doors and gates secured, and never allow off-leash activity unless specifically authorized in a safely enclosed area. I also take pride in providing top notch, clear updates and photos so pet parents know how their pets are doing.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hufsmith
I had such a wonderful experience with Susan! She was incredibly sweet and welcoming. I really appreciated that she took the time to arrange a personalized meet and greet to get to know me and my pet. The notes and pictures every visit were personalized and made me feel very comfortable while gone. You can tell she genuinely cares and wants to provide the best experience possible. I felt at ease from the very beginning and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!
Marie and her husband were able to help with our two cats for over two weeks. They usually help with our two dogs as well but we sent our dogs to grandmas this time. They went the extra mile as always. Our breaker turned off while away so they turned back on so our home and cats would not be hot, checked the mail and brought in all my packages that were supposed to be here before we left, and made sure our cats were safe and sound every morning and evening. We are always happy with the service and will not call anyone else.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hufsmith is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,465 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hufsmith. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
