“Professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs- even nervous little Yorkies who bark a lot :) I returned from vacation to find my house cleaner than I left it. Highly recommend!”
“Jasmine took such good care of our two cats! She was referred to us when we learned about a last-minute trip we needed to take over the weekend, and we were so glad that Jasmine was available to cat sit in our home while we were away. The kitties seemed as happy as always when we returned, so we know Jasmine took great care of them, including food, play, and outside time. Jasmine also checked-in with us when she had questions, and we were so glad for that. Thank you, Jasmine!”
About: I have been trusted to watch several of my neighbors, family friends, and even teachers houses and pets. Playing, walking, and taking care of animals is one of my passions and I adapt to every personality and type of dog to make sure they are happy. I work minimal hours away from home so I will be there for most of the day every day. I work part time (usually from 4-7:30) so I will be home with your pets very frequently! On top of that, I also have full availability on weekends. I am able to walk, play, cuddle, and do anything that your pets enjoy! I am adaptable to each animal and take care of them in ways that creates a stress free, happy environment for them.
“Sherry came to the rescue at the last minute to stay for 4 days with my pups after my dogsitter cancelled. I was unable to meet her but she graciously met my best friend to be introduced to Finn and Charlie. She played ball with them and gave them lots of snuggles as well as sent photos and stayed in communication with us while we were gone. Will be calling Sherry in the future.”
“Kathleen (Kathy) was excellent! The "boys" were well taken care of by Kathy. She was very attentive to one dog's medicines and making sure that they both went out regularly. I would definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting/house-sitting needs.”
“Absolutely wonderful. This was my first occasion having a sitter. She was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, prompt and followed all instructions to the letter. 5 STARS!”
“Tammy is our favorite go to person!! My 3 babies loves when she comes and enjoys when she stays with them. She’s flexible and helps this momma out in a jam. Being with the airline I need someone flexible.”
“Jada was amazing with our three fur babies while staying in our home. This was the first time in a long time that we trusted someone outside of family or friends, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She was fantastic with our dogs, kept us updated with texts, and was always responsive to our messages. When we returned home, our dogs were happy, and their routines remained unchanged. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.”
“We had such a great experience! We were spending the day at Lake Conroe and needed someone we could trust with our little doggies so we could get out and enjoy some activities without worrying about them. She did an amazing job, kept us updated, and most importantly made us feel completely comfortable knowing our babies were being taken care of. That peace of mind meant a lot to us and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our day. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their pets. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guys! 🐾❤️”
“Our dogs LOVED Kelli! She was sweet and gentle with our fur babies and won them over right away. She was always on time, followed the schedule and directions perfectly and was a great communicator. She sent plenty of photos and made us feel that our dogs were in good hands. We can’t wait to book her again.”
About: I have seven years of experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I provide patient, attentive, and loving care while making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility in my daily schedule to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available most days and can easily fit pet care into my routine. The only exception is Tuesdays and Thursdays, when I’m available before 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. When caring for dogs in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any other care they’re used to. I’ll give them plenty of attention and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I’ve worked with and owned many different breeds of dogs, along with cats and reptiles etc. I love all animals and have helped with a family member’s boarding facility over the past few years. As I currently have a work from home job, I’m easily able to care for and play with all of the furry babies as they need it! I have a fenced in yard with a lock, and make sure to sure keep all things put away that your four legged baby might not need to have access to.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters? My commitment to provide the best possible care for each and every pet that comes my way. I understand that each pet is unique and has different needs, and I take the time to get to know each one in order to provide the best possible care. I work from home so my eyes are always on. This makes early mornings and late evenings available Monday through Friday and all weekends open for more flexible hours. Let me take the work out of “pet care” so you can just CARE! I can come to you so your baby feels safe and knows their surroundings. Taking on the “work” part for you, like walking at 6am or staying in my clients home for the weekend while they enjoy time away! Enjoy your time w/your baby and I’ll do the rest!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience looking after dogs, cats, and other small animals. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I treat every animal like they’re my own 🤍 I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate focused time to caring for pets. Most days I’m home during the day, so I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, or just company I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust for every pet I care for. I follow any special instructions, and provide plenty of attention and reassurance so they feel comfortable and happy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Karen
Viviana was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs, Hazel and Ziion, as well as our home while we were away. She was sweet, attentive, responsible, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She made sure the dogs had fresh water, took them outside, and left everything clean, secure, and in great shape. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our dogs were happy and well cared for and that our home was in good hands. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was throughout her stay. We would absolutely recommend Viviana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to watch Hazel and Ziion! 🐾🤍

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 Karen 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 Karen 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 Karen 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
