“Amy is amazing! Our little dog Henry instantly bonded with her. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and even came to meet Henry ahead of time. We felt confident and secure leaving our little guy with her.”
“Lisa stayed with my dogs while we went out today town for a wedding. She did a great job and we will be hiring her again. She stayed with our dogs the whole time, sent pictures to update us and the dogs were happy to hang out with her.”
“Cara was so considerate and amazing when our original sitter cancelled last minute. I really appreciate it - she went above and beyond for us and Luna. Thank you and we’d love to book again!”
“Cassie did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 labs and 1 cat while we were away on vacation and made sure the house stayed in good working order! Her schedule was flexable enough to house sit Thursday through Sunday which allowed us to travel out of state and the primary reason we went with her. She stayed in constant communication and was swift with her reply! She gave us peace of mind knowing our pets where being well taken care for which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
“Penny was great! Easy to communicate and very low stress. She watched out dog and 2 cats while we were away for the weekend. She’s local and very responsive. I’m sure that we will be using her again!”
“Shayla did an amazing job with our 2 dogs. Our youngest is a challenge and she managed her wonderfully. We communicated daily and she sent photos of them. We’ve never had to leave our pups for 8 days before and were quite anxious about it. But Shayla was very responsive to our needs and we came home to 2 happy and healthy pups. I would certainly recommend Shayla.”
“Spencer is fantastic! He took excellent care of our dog, Windell. He was responsible, sent pictures every day and did everything he was supposed to do, and the place was in good order when we returned. I would highly recommend Spencer for the care of your pet. Thanks, Spencer!”
About: I have had fur babies my whole life often had others babies in my home as well. Animals are family and are treated as such I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to love and play with your babes. Will treat them as if they are mine they are my own. I have a little pug to keep your babe company and will follow whatever rules you have set in place. I will kennel them if that's your preference.
“Cely and Jordan took amazing care of Ruby and our house while we were out of the country for a week. We appreciated their regular communication through the app because we didn't have cell service, and when we got back Ruby was clearly comfortable with them and being her playful self. They also watered our yard to keep our plants alive and left the house tidy. We'd recommend them to anyone and would definitely work with them again!”
“Ashanta was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures of Arthur and kept me informed of things at all times. I have a senior dog and worry a lot, but did not worry at all and was able to concentrate on my work. She is very responsible and conscientious too!”
About: I have been pet sitting professionally for three years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and lizards. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes from 130+ lb livestock guardian breeds to 5 lb chihuahuas. I have experience working with dogs with behavioral challenges like resource guarding and anxiety. I have over three years of experience with positive reinforcement training and I am currently working on a certification program to become a horse trainer. I would love to keep up your dog's training while you are gone and work with you to support any current training or management plans. I am patient and I love to work with puppies (and kittens) and adolescent dogs. I have 9 years of experience volunteering at a horse barn. I am comfortable working with horses and other livestock animals. I have experience giving oral medication and all the day to day care a horse requires. I am currently pet sitting full time. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Let me know how much alone time your pet is comfortable with. I always follow instructions and management plans to the letter. I don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or clarifications as needed. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority.
“This was our first time using Rover/Hannah and she did a wonderful job! We had her stay at our place with our 3 month puppy and 8 year told dog. Both dogs seemed to really enjoy their time with her. Her communication was wonderful, we will certainly use her again and recommend to others!”
“Jordan was great. She communicated with detailed texts and pictures. Which the other sitters I used had not. She paid attention to our needs and our detailed lists of notes. She kept our house very clean and even washed the bedding she used and put it back on before she left. (Which she did not have to do) She was also thoughtful enough to want to buy us a new coffee creamer that she used. But I told her there was no need to do that. We’ll ask her to sit for us again for sure!”
“Jesper handled Pirate with such care! There were some issues with our neighbors and Jesper was excellent at defusing the situation, (probably better than we would have). We highly recommend him for any pet sit and will request his skills and help again!”
About: I've volunteered at animal shelters along with having my own family pets. I am used to bigger breeds of dogs but I do adore smaller breeds as well. I’ve trained my own dog! Currently I can do a daily or weekly routine! If things were to change I would let people know a week ahead of time along with prioritizing clients and working my schedule around them! First thing I do when I’m taking care of my or anyone’s dog is to take them outside and then refresh their water bowl.
“Kelsey was responsive and responsible, and we were so happy with her. We had a dog and two cats and she was able to make the time on short notice. When we left I felt very confident our pets and house would be in good hands. Highly recommended.”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. From a young age, my parents taught me how to raise, train, and care for dogs, including training wilderness search & rescue dogs. Over the years, I've cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic young puppies to beloved senior pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they're away from home. Our own dog, Merlin, gets two walks every day, rain or shine, and we believe every dog deserves that same level of attention and care. When your dog stays with us, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. We treat every dog in our care the way we'd want someone to treat a member of our own family. I work from home on a contract basis and take care of our daughter throughout the day so I can devote as much time as needed to ensuring your pet gets all the love and attention to their needs as they deserve. I have a small fenced yard and some extra dog crates if needed. Merlin and I need two walks a day through baseball fields and forest near our house and I will bring your dog along too. I can also do more walks with them if needed. I can also visit or stay in your home. Your dog will be our guest and we pride ourselves in keeping a clean home for pets.
“Sarah was fantastic and I will absolutely request her services again! I was nervous to leave about leaving my dogs for the first time; they are both rescue dogs with separation anxiety and used to a very consistent routine. She took the time to come meet them ahead of time and go over their needs with me. She was very communicative, sent multiple check-ins and photos, and was quick to clarify details if she was unsure about something. They both took to her right away. She was the perfect fill in for "mom" while I was away. Thank you so much! We will definitely reach out again in the future!”

Jason is a wonderful house sitter. He took amazing care of our home, our 2 dogs and pet fish. Great communication from start to finish, getting regular photos and check ins really made us feel at ease. I’ve had some nightmare pet sitter experiences in the past, and I’m thrilled to say that is all behind me. My family and I will book trips knowing we have an awesome, trusted person who treats our dogs as his own. We took a 10 day trip to see family and I didn’t spend one second worrying, it was fantastic! Highly recommend and will definitely book again. Thank you Jason!!!
Amy took great care of our two dogs! Bella got lots of ball catching time, and Henry enjoyed all the pets. Amy checked in prior to the scheduled dates, and stayed in touch proactively regarding departure and arrival times. Great communication, and great with our dogs.
Gabrielle was wonderful and took great care of our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She was a great communicator, treated our home with care and sent daily updates. We were so appreciative of her help and would definitely use her pet sitting services again in the future!
Wendy was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was very caring and understanding about our anxiety ridden dog. She was available on such short notice when our plans changed last minute for our upcoming vacation. Kaylee surprised all of us by warming up to Wendy almost immediately at the meet and greet we did and from what it sounds like, happy to see Wendy and her little pup Honeypie show up on the first day. She sent pictures throughout our trip and was great at sending us updates. We will definitely be booking with Wendy again on any future trips we take! Hopefully well in advance next time 😉
Joseph was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets. He provided regular photo updates throughout my trip, which gave me peace of mind, and his rates were very reasonable. My pets seemed calm and comfortable around him, which speaks highly of how he interacted with them. There were a couple of areas where clearer communication would have helped. I had shared that my dog shouldn’t be left alone for more than 8 hours, but there was a day she was alone longer than that due to a change in plans. I wasn’t aware ahead of time, and with earlier notice I would have been able to arrange additional support. Similarly, on the first day, the arrival time shifted from the expected 8am to closer to 11am without prior notice, which made it difficult to adjust plans on my end. Overall, Joseph is kind, affordable, and attentive with animals. With more proactive communication around schedule changes, he could provide an even better experience.

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 Johansons Corner 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 Johansons Corner 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 Johansons Corner 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.
