“Julie was once again wonderful with my crazy pups. She takes the extra time to ensure their comfort and safety. Bubba was much more comfortable with her for this visit and I truly appreciate her slow and steady approach with him. And Nala was thrilled to have a willing snuggle buddy!”
“Brianna is a star! After moving Zora from the only home she had ever known less than a year ago, I was very unhappy about leaving her for a whole month, but I needed have worried. Zora and Brianna quickly formed an enduring bond and did SO well together. It was infinitely reassuring to receive regular texts, photos and videos of their days together. Brianna also took amazing care of my home and my plants. When I got home, everything was immaculate. Zora had obviously been content, well cared for and exercised during my absence. Definite five stars!! Thanks, Brianna!”
“Lilit went above and beyond for my anxious little chihuahua, who ADORED her. She spent so much time with my animals and was in constant contact with videos and photos. She was an excellent sitter and immediately won over a pretty neurotic pup. Will definitely hire again!”

“James was so wonderful, I was so nervous having to leave my dogs usually my son will stay home while I travel but this time we were able to travel together which we haven’t been able to, due to my fear of dog kennels and strangers . My dogs loved James so much. The meet and greet went so well. He was attentive, paid attention to the feeding instructions, medications, snacks and daily walks. My flight was delayed coming home and James offered to help put longer until I got home. We received lots of photos and videos also. I can say I now feel great and can travel more Thanks to James!!! I will be using him most definitely and recommend others to reach out to him as well.”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
“Matt has taken such good care of Max. This pi particular visit he went above and beyond to protect him from am off-leash aggressive dog. So grateful for his dedication to Max’s well-being.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, as well as other pets like snakes, and I’ve usually been the one in my family to train them. With great pets comes great responsibility. After all, they are more than just pets- they’re family too. Right now my schedule is quite fluid! I work remotely and do a lot of freelance work, so I’m able to be available most days of the week & most times. Aside from providing them with their basic needs, I assess how they behave- their tendencies, preferences, any special needs they may have, etc.- and try to care for them accordingly. I also pay attention to them both emotionally and physically to see if anything is troubling them
About: Raised in a big dog household, comfortable with all shapes and sizes. Always happy to spend time with the most genuine creatures on earth and I'm never afraid of the poop bag. During the week I like to walk early mornings before 8am and after 4pm when I get out of work. On the weekends I'm available all day long! All animals are deserving of genuine care and respect, I will treat yours like my own. While walking I know it's my responsibility to avoid dangerous situation before they happen.
“Shea is very reliable and responsive. I’m an anxious dog mom with a dog that has serious health issues that require daily meds and I was able to go away for 5 nights with minimal cell service and had piece of mind that my dog and cat were both well cared for!”
“Annika was wonderful! She took great care of our dog Ace and provided frequent updates, which we appreciated. She also left our house very clean and brought our mail in, etc. I will 1000% book with her again.”
“Anais took great care of our crew so we could have a relaxing day out! Truly appreciate her punctuality and how she sent updates to put my nervous-pet-mom mind at ease! So glad to have connected through Rover!”
About: Although I have less experience in dog care in comparison to taking care of cats, I live an active lifestyle and am fully capable of going on walks with any dog’s typical walk regime. As a student who’s home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule I dedicate to spending time with my or any of my friends’ pets. I care for pets by referring to the owners and following any procedures based on the pet’s needs. I’m capable of basic maintenance and problem solving.
“I asked Jesse if he had a minute to stop by the house, just to meet the dogs and get familiar with our schedule and the medication one of the dogs needs for seizures. Jesse was very accommodating and very comfortable with the dogs. We felt very comfortable leaving Jesse in charge of our dogs and our home. He did check in with us during our absence and was at the house with our guys when we got home. We would not hesitate to contact Jesse again.”
“Drew is a highly recommendable house and pet sitter. My cat and dog liked them from the first minute on. And so did we: Drew is professional and courteous, highly intelligent, reliable, flexible and organized. At the same time, they have a m genuinely friendly and sweet personality, a wide range of interests, and a good dry humor. They left the pets happy and the household spotless. We will hire them any time and recommend them full heartedly. 🌸”
“Hailey is so sweet and took excellent care of our home and two cats while we were away this week. We got updates and pictures of Cyrus and Suki and can tell they were well taken care of and the house was in great order when we returned. We definitely recommend Hailey for all of your house and pet sitting needs!”
“Isabella did a great job feeding our kitties while my husband and I were out of state on separate work trips. She was easy to coordinate with and accommodated our unplanned schedule change without issue. I love that she sent pictures every morning and evening and made sure to get both cats :3”
About: I’ve spent plenty of time around my neighbor’s dog walking, feeding, and cleaning up after him. I’m comfortable with strong pullers and I’m not fazed by mud, rain, or a dog who needs a minute to warm up to me. After every visit you’ll get a photo and a short recap: how the walk went, whether they ate, anything that seemed off. I’m new to Rover, so I’ll be upfront: no training certifications yet. What I do have is wide open availability, a phone I actually answer, and a free meet and greet before any first booking so you can see how your dog reacts to me first. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins, plus weekend mornings — Saturdays and Sundays before noon are always open. My part-time work schedule comes out on the weekend, so once I have it I update my Rover calendar and can tell you exactly which days I’m free for the week ahead. If you need something regular, message me and we’ll lock in the days that work. I care for pets in the client’s home, so my goal is to keep your dog’s normal routine intact and leave everything exactly as I found it. For walks: I confirm the leash and harness setup with you first, stick to the route and pace your dog is used to, keep them leashed the entire time, and always clean up. I bring water on warm days and check paws before we head back in. For drop-in visits: fresh water, food or treats exactly as you’ve instructed, potty break, and some play or company depending on what your dog likes. I’ll also do the small things bringing in mail, turning a light on if you ask. Either way, you’ll get a photo and a short recap after every visit, and I’ll text you right away if anything seems off. I follow your instructions on doors, locks, and keys exactly, and I don’t have anyone else with me on a booking.
About: I’m such a animal lover as I have animals myself! I enjoy spending time with my dog outside on walks and hikes and bringing her out to run around the yard! Most of my time spent is caring for animals as I help others out with their pets as well! I’m currently in school but I have a very open schedule! On weekends I’m available all day, and throughout the week I’m available early morning and late afternoon. I love spending time with my dog as well as meeting other animals and spending time with them as well. I will bring the animals on walks or even just to play around in the yard if asked for! I usually like to follow with what the owner asks of me for their animals walk.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Indian Orchard
James and Reichel were awesome! We’re new to the house / overnight sitting so we were apprehensive about our pet with strangers but James and Reichel were so accommodating, professional and incredibly responsive. The initial meet and greet with our pet was so helpful and definitely put us at ease before we left for vacation. Woody loved them! We received pictures and videos daily for updates and they responded immediately with any questions we had! We would highly recommend them to anyone that needs them!
Alissa came as advertised! She house sat with my two dogs and was just wonderful in her care and communication while I was gone. She is a very positive person who I know Lucy and Luna enjoyed very much. I wouldn't hesitate to have Alissa agin when the need arises

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 Indian Orchard 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 Indian Orchard 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 Indian Orchard 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.
