“Elizabeth has stayed the weekend at our house 3 or 4 times to watch our pup Carter and we highly recommend her to anyone! She is very kind, professional, and loving to our dog. It gives us peace of mind knowing Carter is safe and comfortable at our house with Elizabeth. She regularly keeps us updated on how Carter is doing and sends pics. We are grateful that she takes such good care of Carter. Carter is now 11 and requires supplements, special food, and specific exercise instructions and Elizabeth has been terrific at helping us with all of this. We will continue to have her watch Carter when she is available!”
“Zach was a hero for us when a sitter canceled last minute. He took the time to understand and love on our big, shy dog and was able to get good morning cuddles from her by the end of his stay. I would highly recommend him, great communicator, wonderful pictures, and I do believe the house was cleaner than when I left! Yay ZACH!”
“Nicole was wonderful to our pups! This was the first time we’ve left them overnight since adopting them so we were a little nervous at first. But she completely calmed our nerves!! I cannot thank her enough for treats them like they are hers. We will for sure be using her again! Thank you, Nicole!!”
About: My family over the years have had dogs as pets. This is the extent of my experience with dogs. I am very willing to learn how others take care of their dogs. I am currently working every Weekend and would like to have a part time job during the week. I am a lover of all animals. Mix the two together and here I am to take care of your pets. I am a very cautious person especially with my pets. When I love something so dearly I make sure I do everything in my power to take care of it. I am this way with my two cats. They are also solely fed wet food. I try to do research on whats best for them.
About: I have professional experience working at a veterinary kennel and am trained in proper medication and subcutaneous fluid administration. I also know how to work with anxious, elderly, and disabled pets. I love getting to know each pet’s personal needs and quirks in order to give them the best care possible! I am a recent college graduate and am doing pet sitting full time! This means I will be able to schedule my days around your pet‘s needs. My care includes feeding, walking, continuation of training, and giving pets all the love they deserve! I will be at your house as much as I can to give your pet the best experience. I am willing to help pets that need assistance getting around the house or that have other special needs. Overall, I want to create as safe, comforting, and loving of a space as possible for your pets while you’re away.
About: Even as a kid, I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog, Zoey. I took responsibility for making sure she was fed and watered, taking her for long walks and playing with her in our backyard. I knew that when I grew up, I would adopt a dog as soon as I could. A few months before I was discharged from the Marine Corps, I reached out to my hometown's local animal shelter about Baron. Baron was a 2-year-old, Boxer/Pit mix and from the moment I saw his picture, I knew he was going to be my boy. I called the shelter regularly to see if he was still there and let them know the day I could pick him up. I drove from my base in California to my Mom's house in Florida, dropped my stuff off, and immediately went to the shelter to adopt Baron. For the first few months I took him everywhere I went. All my friends and family knew that if Dan was coming, so was Baron. A few years after adopting Baron, I shared pictures of him with a girl I was talking to, and she immediately wanted to meet him. I took him for a walk with her and, as they say, the rest is history, she’s my wife. She brought two cats to the relationship, Teyla and Cara, and I eventually adopted a third cat, Ahsoka, with her. I cared for Baron together for 10 years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw, and we decided to try surgery, chemo and radiation. My wife and I got another 3 years with him, when the vet had told us he had 6 months to live. In 2025, his cancer returned, and he passed away just a few months before I got married. I spread some of his ashes at our wedding ceremony at one of the purest lakes in New Zealand and his name is engraved on our wedding bands. Shortly after saying goodbye to Baron, my wife and I adopted our fourth cat, Leia. I like to say she is Baron reincarnated because she follows me everywhere and has taken his place begging for food at the dinner table. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and have never met a dog that doesn't like me (I think everyone knows that cats aren't always that easy to win over!). As the caregiver for your pet, I bring years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am experienced with delivering oral and topical medications, and hand feeding. I am experienced with obedience training and basic commands, crate training, walking on a lead, different types of dog collars, and off leash e-collar use. I understand how to safely have dogs meet, and what signs to look for to signal aggression, discomfort, fear, or playfulness when around other dogs. I understand that pets have routines and schedules, and I will adjust my day to make sure your pet can keep their routine. I know what it's like to have another person care for my pets, and I will make sure to send photos and messages with updates to let you know your pet is safe and happy. As a stay-at-home trophy husband and cat dad, my day is flexible and I can ensure your pet's care and comfort is my top priority. I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule to acommodate your pet's routine. Your pet will get a considerable amount of attention and care while I'm with them. I have used Rover in the past for my own dog so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, whether it's reinforcing good behavior or just giving lots of care and love, your pet's well being is my top priority. I'm available when you need me. From checking in on your pets while you are on vacation, taking your dog for a nice stimulating walk, or staying the night with your pets, let me know what works best for you! I will care for your pet in your home so they feel safe and comfortable. I will always have your dog on a leash and check the immediate area for other people/animals before leaving the house. I will respect your home like it's my own house, and I will follow your pet's schedule and house rules.
“This was our first time using Rover as well as an in home dog sitter. Our dogs have a hard time staying at boarding facilities so we wanted to find a more comfortable solution for them. I can’t thank Taylor enough for taking care of our girls and allowing them to keep their usual routine while we were away. I appreciated the check ins and photo updates so much! Taylor is kind, professional, & compassionate. All things any pet owner would hope for in their sitter.”
“Jylesha took excellent care of my two dogs and my home while I was away for two weeks. She shared lots of updates and photos which gave me peace of mind, and when I returned home I could tell right away that my fur babies were not stressed as they sometimes are after a long absence. They clearly felt safe and loved. I have an older cattle dog and a young energetic pittie. They both took to Jylesha immediately when she came for a meet and greet, and she was very attentive to their different needs during her stay. I would highly recommend Jylesha for anyone needing a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay with our three dogs over the weekend. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout the weekend, letting us know how each of them was doing. It made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. You can tell Amy genuinely loves animals, and our dogs were clearly comfortable with her. We’ll absolutely be asking her to stay with them again and I know they’ll be excited to see her soon!”
About: I have grown up with cats, dogs, horses, ferrets, reptiles, etc. I own a cat and two leopard geckos. I have a background in healthcare and follow instructions efficiently with direct attention to detail. I am open to caring for pets with specials needs such as medication administration. I look forward to building a relationship with your pet and granting your peace of mind in regards to their care while you’re away. I do work full time but I am available after 4pm on weekdays and have full availability on the weekends. I’m available for overnight stays as well. My cat gets plenty of attention at home with me, and you can expect the same for your pet. Whether they prefer chilling on the couch or intense exercise, I’m your girl!
About: I used to work at an dog and cat boarding facility. I am also a student at Fayettville State University. I absolutly adore animals. I have 3 of my own, They are a german shepherd, austrailian Shepherd, and a chihuahua. So I do have and active life style with the 2 larger dogs. But my little dog is a couch potato, so I tend to slow things down for him. So no matter how big, small, entergetic, or couch potato they are I can always live up to their lifestyle. I am available anytime. If I am not available I’ll message you if it does not work for my schedule. But it is rare for me to be busy. I would be more than happy to take your puppy out on a walk or taking out to go potty. I can also feed them and give them fresh water. If they need time to interact with somebody I can sit and play with them. If there is special request, just ask away I would be more than happy to try.
“Emily was very attentive and caring of our dog! He had some unexpected tummy issues and she was quick to notify us and get everything handled. We know he was in good hands! We really appreciate her taking good care of him and our home - definitely recommend!”
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful while watching our pup Simon in our home! She sent regular updates (with cute photos of Simon), was very responsive, and truly cared for and connected with our little guy. She left our home in great condition. I highly recommend Kayla and hope she can watch Simon again in the future! Thanks, Kayla!”
“Sylvia did an incredible job caring for our fur babies! They were obviously well-cared for during our time away. She kept us informed about how they were doing and sent photos. We had some unexpected issues with our cable while we were gone, and she arranged to have it serviced so it would be working upon our return. If your babies need attention, love and care during your absence, we recommend Sylvia!”
“Ally was WONDERFUL! She came by early for a meet and greet which we always appreciate. She was kind enough to check on our cats and fish all while taking wonderful care of our dog. She left our home in excellent shape and went above and beyond to communicate. I could truly tell my pup was happy with her! 10/10 recommend and we will be grateful to have Ally watch our animals again!”
“Bekah was amazing - she went above and beyond our expectations and even shifted around her work schedule to help us out! Highly recommend - will definitely use her again!”
About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.

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 Katesville 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 Katesville 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 Katesville 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.
