About: I have always taken care for friends family and neighbors since a child. All animals are good even reptiles. Love all animals.Want to earn extra income. Empty nester with only one cat at home.Right now I sit for my grand dogs when my adult kids go out of town.m My son has 2 medium mixed dogs and my daughter has an Aussie doodle. I live with elderly Mom and work from home 9 to 5. I have extra time on my hands . My kids are grown and pets have aged out. Can work nights weekends and middle of day breaks if close enough. I can come for visits or stay over as I have someone at my house for my cat. I can give weekday morning noon and evening visits and open all weekends.
“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life, I love animals and love taking care of them. I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I can remember. And I like to think I’ve always been their favorite family member!! I work 12-4 at a school district and sometimes early morning shifts at a coffee shop, but not often. Looking to make some money loving on some cute pets! I will make sure to protect your animal and always make sure they’re are safe. That means keeping and eye on them at all times :)
About: I have fostered Bichons thru Bichon Fur Kids Rescue in addition to previous dog sitting. I have also shown in AKC dog shows. Love dogs ! I am available 7 days a week. I prefer over-nights at my home. I am retired and have one 15 year old Bichon that loves playmates. I have a fenced yard and an unused tennis court to let the dogs run in. Walking on leash in the park is fun too.
“Adam and Alexis were phenomenal. They took amazing care of our boys. Above and beyond. You can tell they are big animal lovers. Our puppy got sick and they fed him chicken and rice and helped him feel better. They walked our dogs and played with them and sent us so many photos while we were out of town. We will definitely be using them again!!”
“Allison did an amazing job taking care of our puppy dog while we were away for Thanksgiving. She sent us lots of photos and our baby girl clearly adored her. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.”
About: I'm so excited to start Rover and meet all of the sweet babies! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and had my own dog for 15 years, giving me years of hands-on experience with the everyday care, companionship, and responsibility that comes with having a dog. I also have a year of experience walking dogs for others and genuinely love getting outside and spending time with pups. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, and needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra attention and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and patience I would give my own dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and active, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and become someone you can trust! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to providing attentive, reliable pet care. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine! I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages!
“Vannessa and Jason stayed in our home to watch our 2 dogs for 4 nights. They did an amazing job! They were very communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates and kept our home spotless. In fact, they left the house cleaner than when we had left. I highly recommend Vannessa and Jason!”
“Stella took care of my German Shepherd overnight stays for 2 weeks. She was responsible, responded to my texts, contacted me everyday with a text and photo and asked questions to make Maximus feel more comfortable and have more variety with me gone. She even cleaned my floors! My home was left as it was and I would highly recommend her.”
“Josette took such great care of our boys during our wedding weekend! We have one very shy and anxious boy, but he warmed up to Josette in hours and his tail was wagging. It really warmed my heart to see our dogs so comfortable with her. Thank you, Josette!!”
About: I’m an active, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals! I have a lot of experience caring for others and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I love being outdoors, going on walks, and giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m patient, attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and happy to stick to their usual routines. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part-time and receive my schedule on a weekly basis, so my dog-walking availability after 10 AM depends on my work schedule. I’m available every morning before 10 AM and can coordinate additional walks throughout the week as my schedule allows. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance to ensure we can find a time that works! Beyond that I have a pretty flexible schedule and can give them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely love being around animals and would treat every pet as if they were my own. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are getting all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I provide pet care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and stick to their normal routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. I always prioritize safety, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and make sure they feel loved and secure. I’ll also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands!
“We were so lucky to have found Emily. Our pup, Junie, takes a long time to warm up to new people and it takes a while to earn her trust. Emily was endlessly patient in the drop-ins we had her do before having her stay with Junie for a week. In addition to being a kind and calm person, she knows a lot about being around a reactive dog and earning their trust. We felt totally at ease with Junie in Emily’s care and we loved how Emily put together a shared album to see how Junie was doing throughout the week.”
About: Hi my name is Ash! I currently don’t have a job so I’m available for all services at any time. I’ve been around different types of dogs my entire life. I love to keep dogs entertained and happy by playing with them, walking with them, letting them run around the house, feeding them yummy treats and food, and give lots of cuddles! I’m very good at keeping an eye on dogs when they are wearing a cone or if they are sick. I have experience on giving antibiotics to dogs. I usually let dogs out to go pee every 2-3 hours. I love all animals and am so excited to take care of your dog! I have an apartment but I live close to plenty of dog parks! My schedule is open I don’t work at a physical place right now so I have more than enough time to care for my dogs and yours! I have a nice spacious apartment your dog can run around in and I will always keep an eye on what they are doing. I always make sure there isn’t anything they could get into that would hurt them. Any mess that is made will also always be cleaned up.
“Wonderful sitter! She took great care of our pets, came over for a meet and greet beforehand, listened patiently as I explained my older dogs needs, and was communicative while we’re gone. She left the house clean and tidy and was a pleasure to get to know.”

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 Hulburd Grove 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 Hulburd Grove 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 Hulburd Grove 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.
