“Emily was just wonderful! Our birds took to her right away. She provided excellent care, sent tons of pictures and communicated frequently. She was so attentive and caring, provided a lot of interaction and took care of them so well. They just loved her. We will definitely use Emily again!”
“I had such a great experience with Katelyn watching Oakley! She stayed at my house for the weekend and took such great care of her. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Oakley was in good hands. I came home to a happy pup and everything in the house was just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch Oakley again! ❤️”
“Anna was so good with my dogs and followed all instructions. She was super respectful of my home, and left without a trace. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my two dogs, and upon my return home they were relaxed and happy. I will definitely be hiring Anna again! Wonderful!”
“Jocelyn was great with my kitties! It was nice having her help with the cats to give me peace of mind. She gave updates and was attentive to them. I definitely recommend her, and will use her again in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am SO GLAD I found Tess. She was incredibly prompt when we were booking and was very professional. When she watched my pets, without fail, she sent me daily photos and was very transparent about problems that arose while I was gone. She made me feel very confident that my pets were being watched and cared for! Two of my pets take daily meds and she was meticulous about their routine and sending me photos of that as well. I highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She communicated pictures to us, and Kylo loved her. I will use her again, and I recommend her to anyone needing someone to stay with their fur babies. Thank you so much, Taylor.”
“Madelynn is absolutely fantastic. She is responsive, attentive, and a great communicator. I really appreciated her proactively checking-in and sharing photos of my dog throughout the day. It really put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was so well taken care of. I am pretty sure she is my dog’s new BFF! I will definitely be booking her again and would highly recommend to anyone who needs a Rover.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for four years. I started just letting dogs out, walking, and feeding, but now I do overnight stays! I have multiple repeat clients both for walking and overnights. I sit all types of pets from dogs to cats to rabbits or even fish! I am going off to college in fall of 2029 at the University of Arkansas where I will reside August-November and January-May. I will be available in Louisville, KY, Jeffersonville, IN, and surrounding areas May-August. I work part-time as a barista and lifeguard, generally with shifts from 10:45am-3:30pm in the summer months. I spend most of my free time with the pets I sit! I am able to walk dogs for as long as needed (mine go for 3 miles)!! I am able to play with them in a fenced in yard as well and can follow any other safety instructions provided (crating, etc.).
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands on experience in pet care. I currently have two cats, Bogey & Baby, and growing up, we had a dog, cats, turtles, and chickens. I’ve even helped care for llamas! I have experience administering medications including liquids, pills, and injections. I treat every pet like family and pride myself on providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. I know firsthand what it’s like to leave an animal home while you're away, so I’ll ensure they are comfortable and cared for in the best way possible. Whether that means playing with toys and going for walks, relaxing together, or giving them their space when they need it. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to house sit over long weekends and provide reliable drop in visits on those days and weekends as well. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I focus on consistent feeding schedules (if they are on one), medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and love to help pets feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
“Mila was wonderful with our dog. She exceeded our expectations. She walked our dog daily and helped train her on the leash as she pulls bad. Our dog felt so loved while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Mila and can’t wait to use her next time”
“She goes above and beyond. Very respectful of my house and dog. Sends a bunch of pictures and made my puppy a happy boiii while I was gone. Would love to use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 95 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
“Kelsey took the time to get to know my dogs (one elderly Catahoula, one very shy and nervous Catahoula, and a very bouncy one-year-old Retriever) before we booked, and she was incredibly kind and patient. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Wow!! I wish I could give her more stars!!! Clare was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our dogs, and we trusted her to be unattended in our house. Our dogs grew to love her, and trust her (which is huge for our dogs with trust issues.) Not only did she do a great job with the dogs, she also did a great job communicating with us, and sending us photos of the dogs, and frequent updates to give us peace of mind. Can not recommend her enough!! We will definitely use her again!! :)”
“Quinnley was amazing with my dog, Penny! She took her on walks, gave her lots of love, and treated my home with care. I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Johnson
I had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of my cats and dog while I was away for several days. She was always easy to reach, kept everything clean, and came to check on my pets exactly as often as we had agreed. She sent me updates and photos during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, my pets absolutely loved her and seemed very comfortable and happy with her. She is reliable, caring, and attentive, and I would absolutely trust her with my pets again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful and responsible pet sitter! ❤️
Megan went above and beyond for our dogs! She easily cared for our puppy after a spay with special instructions for her incision. Our older dog loved every minute of her cuddles and we cannot wait to have her back! We appreciate her photos, updates, and clarifying questions to make sure our babies were well cared for. It was wonderful to have a night away with Megan in charge and we highly recommend her!!
Miranda and Joey are absolutely wonderful!! I truly truly felt at peace with them watching my pup for the weekend at my house! They send multiple updates that are thorough and with pictures throughout the whole stay. They really go above and beyond while taking such good care of your pet! I highly recommend them!!

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 Johnson 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 Johnson 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 Johnson 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!

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 .
