“Katherine was great with my dog! My dog has separation anxiety and she enjoyed her time while Katherine looked after her :) She came by in advance to meet my dog, which was greatly appreciated.”
“We absolutely loved having Norah stay with our pup! She was very communicative, very thorough and our house looked cleaner than when we left when we got home! Lots of pictures and updates as well, which we loved. We can't wait to have Norah watch our pup again!”
“Lauren did an excellent job watching our senior dog! He requires several medications throughout the day and she took wonderful care of his needs! She was great at communicating with us and she sent pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when we arrived home! We would highly recommend her to any pet parent!!”
“This was our first time booking with Joel and he did an amazing job watching our senior lab dog and staying at our house. He also fed our bearded dragon for us which was appreciated! He was great at communicating and left everything so clean and spotless! We could tell our dog was well cared for 🥰”
About: My friends know me as the dog lover! What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive and genuinely care about making each pet feel comfortable and loved. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, likes, and dislikes rather than treating every visit the same. I’m also big on communication—I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m not at church or Bible study you can find me at the dog park! 🐶🦮🦴🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so I love having a dog to walk and explore with! I treat every pet and home like they’re my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and give them lots of love while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep you updated with pictures and messages throughout my visit. ❤️🐶
“Emily spent two weeks at our house with our three dogs and loved them like they were her own. We requested daily photo updates and she obliged with more than 150 pics during our time abroad. She had to help us process the unexpected loss of one of our pups during this time and was an absolute godsend to us. We would recommend her 1000 times over.”
“I highly recommend Olivia as a sitter. She was great with my dog Ash. She communicates often and is quick to reply to messages and is very professional. She sent photos and multiple daily updates. Thanks for taking care of my dog!”
“This was our first time with having Jackie sit for Abbey and Winnie. We very much appreciated her flexibility with being able to stay an extra 30 minutes longer than planned. We look forward to having her sit in the near future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and shapes! I love animals large and small and I have dog sat for my neighbors since middle school. My dog is 7 years old now and is my heart. My family and friends call me a dog whisperer because all dogs love me!! I work during weekdays and can move my schedule depending on the needs of the dog. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than during weekdays. I follow the instructions of pet parent requests. Closing bathroom doors, crating, and feeding per instructions given to me for the safety of the animal. Any special requests I am more than able to provide.
“Denise is amazing! We reached out with hopes to find a sitter for our wedding. We wanted a pet sitter who could bring our dogs to the wedding so they could be apart of our ceremony and photos, but also hangout with them back the hotel after the ceremony was over. Denise was wonderful during the meet and greet and I had no worries at all. She sent the cutest photos of our pups. We knew they were in good hands. She is very kind and professional. We had a dress / color code for our wedding and she even followed it and looked amazing! All our family loved her and appreciated everything she did to help our day run smoothly.”
“The pups came home happily tuckered. Samantha went above and beyond to help make our weekend away so much smoother. I know that the doggos we were well taken care of while we were gone. 😊”
“Izabella was very communicative while she pet sit our two cats over a long weekend. She sent photos and gave updates on how they were doing each visit. She even did an extra visit during the day once since she was so close to us! While staying overnight in our home, she was very respectful and left it just as clean as she found it! Would definitely hire her again.”
“Michelle was fantastic with my pup, who has a few quirks and can be reactive on walks. She truly put my mind at ease and was patient, confident, and communicative the whole time. My pup clearly felt comfortable and happy with her - I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and capable sitter!”
“Very sweet and fabulous with our dog who has a lot of separation anxiety. Our dog loved her and when I came home, she didn’t go crazy like usual if I leave the house for a bit, which means she wasn’t feeling aa anxious. I really appreciate the care for our dog and look forward to booking 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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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.
