About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and many years of looking after small dogs for family and friends. Whether your pet is a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a professional nap enthusiast, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day—whether that means playtime, cuddle time, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I have extensive experience with cats and am comfortable caring for multiple pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and become their new favorite sitter! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I’m used to planning my days around a schedule. I’m happy to work with your routine and find times that fit both of our schedules. I’m available outside of my work hours and on weekends, and I’m flexible when it comes to coordinating drop-ins, walks, or stays. Just let me know what your pets are used to and what you need, and we can figure out what works! Since I work full-time Monday through Friday, I know how important it is to have someone reliable who can fit into your pets’ normal routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it and keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone.
“Sara showed up promptly for the drop-in visit at exactly the time she said she'd arrive, gave attention to both our dogs and texted photos and a "report" when she left. We'll be contacting her again.”
“Ella did an amazing job house and animal sitting for me while I was on vacation! She sent lots of photos and updates every day which I appreciated. She also took care of my plants in the house while she stayed and when I got home everyone was happy and healthy! She even went above and beyond and tossed all the bedding she used in the guest room in the wash so it was one less thing I had to do when I got home. I would highly recommend her for any of your animal/house needs, she is very trustworthy and I'll be hiring her for all my future vacations!”
About: Growing up, I owned 4-5 dogs at a time, ranging in sizes from 8 pounds to 50 pounds! I also worked for a Dogtopia dog daycare and boarding! I have owned and cared for dogs from all ages, from 8 weeks puppies to 17 year old doggies! I currently work part time remotely, so I am very flexible with days and time. I work just from my computer, so my eye won’t be far! I live very close to trails, public parks, and my apartments offer a dog park as well! I live in a very walkable apartment complex as well!
About: Hi! I’m Madi — a lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a senior cat and a dog, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities, routines, and care needs that pets can have.I’m especially comfortable with cats (including shy or senior cats), but I also enjoy spending time with dogs who love walks, playtime, and outdoor time. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend meaningful time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines — whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more time with your pets I’m caring for rather than rushing through visits. It also means I’m able to check in during the day and be attentive to routines, feeding times, and any changes in behavior. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and environment. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules closely, keep litter boxes clean, and spend time observing behavior to make sure cats are relaxed and healthy while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details like secure doors, safe spaces, and minimizing stress. I also work remotely, which gives me flexibility to spend meaningful time with pets during visits rather than rushing through tasks. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.
“Tara was great with Evie. She provided updates and photos, which we really appreciated. She was very flexible with her schedule. Super nice and trustworthy. We would highly recommend Tara to anyone!”
“It's always a challenge finding someone to stay in my home that I can fully trust to not only care for my animals, but also respect my property and belongings. Paige took ALL those worries away and we are so extremely grateful to have found her! She is responsible, clean, and most importantly - Caring, loving and kind. She immediately bonded with my dogs upon arrival, sent daily updates of what they were up to and left a clean house for us to come home to after a long day of traveling. If you want to take a vacation and not have to stress over who's taking care of your life - Paige is your girl!”
“This is the first time I have used Rover for house sitting and dog sitting. Michelle was great. She sent me photos of my 2 dogs and 2 cats throughout the 2 days I was gone to let me know everyone was okay. She even washed the bedding before she left. Great experience!”
“Absolutey fantastic! Hannah was truly the BEST! Henry was well cared for, happy and comfortable the entire time. I also appreciated all the updates, photos, and attention given to his needs. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She was Awesome! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life (currently a mom of a dog and a cat) and love taking care of animals with all my heart! I’m currently home from college and thought that this would be a good way to make money on the side while I job hunt! I’m very experienced with senior pets (currently own a 17 year old cat). I’ve put a lot of time learning how to gain trust of animals and how to understand their body language and emotions, so stressed pets aren’t common with me! Every day is a good day to play with animals for me ! Currently looking for a part time job, but nothing that will take up too much of my time to visit your animals and take care of your pets. My weekends are entirely open as well! I’m very communicative on the status of your pet and how they’re doing, and I always give lots of pets if they like them! Your house will appear just as you left it, and your pet will be happy, walked, fed, and not lonely at all!

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 Hunter 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 Hunter 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 Hunter 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.
