“Gabrielle was a great caregiver for our dog, Walker. She made sure to keep us updated throughout her care and was able to change plans on the fly if needed. Would highly recommend her to any pet parent in need of care.”
About: I would love to take care of your babies while you are away. I will talk to them , cuddle them, feed and walk them. I’m am currently retired and looking forward to pet sitting. I have another friend that enjoys this so much, and I think I will like it just as much as she does. I will make sure there is always clean water, feed in the morning and evenings, or as often as you like. I wash the bowls about every other day. I have 3 beds for my chihuahua, one in the living room, bedroom and dining room where my computer sits. She sits in my lap when she wants, she lets me know when she needs to go out and I keep pee pads down for her just in case, and keep the area clean.
“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”
“Lori was amazing with our fur babies! She was incredibly responsive, keeping us updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages, which put our minds at ease. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for under her watch. Lori went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and loved. We’re so grateful for her care and will book her again soon! I highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter to stay at your house.”
“Laura did an amazing job with our boys! She sent updates and pictures and all of them were happy and well cared for when we got home. She also left the house clean! We will be using her again very soon!”
“Candace stayed at my house while I was gone for 4-5 days and took excellent care of my dog and my cat! Both of them are on meds and she was very willing & able to give them. My dog has anxiety, and she was so patient and good with him. He loved her! I highly recommend Candace and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Katherine has been amazing! She is kind and considerate. She has always kept me in the loop while house sitting and taking exceptional care of my 2 fur babies. She spoils them and loves on them like they are her own. I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: hello there, I’ve worked in Animal control for over 5 years now. I started off as a shelter technician and I’m currently a vet technician. I can say I know my way of understanding an animals need/wants. Animals are very precious to me, this is my passion and I love being around all kinds of animals! I’m a full time vet technician working Wednesday-Saturday from 6am-5pm! On my days off I normally go out to find new adventures/activities with my animals, or I make sure I get important things completed. I currently live in a cottage with my own fenced backyard as well as shareable park with my neighbors. I love taking my dogs on walks to socialize with other dogs and people as well as getting exercise.
About: I am new to professional pet sitting. I’ve always owned my own pets and care for them very well. I look forward to meeting you. I’m currently working full time from home. I’m more flexible at the end of the week during the day than the beginning of the week. I prefer specific instructions on how to properly care for your pet. Tell me what they need and I’ll get it done. Feel free to trust me.
About: Always comforting and a joy being around dogs. Easy to gain trust while maintaining a safe and playful environment for all breeds and ages :) I’m currently between jobs, so I have a very open schedule and can give your dog my full attention throughout the day. Drop-offs, pick-ups, and any special timing needs are easy to accommodate. Pet care is my main focus right now. Dogs stay in a calm, low-stress home with a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I closely follow your care instructions, keep constant eyes on your pet, and send regular photo updates so you always know how things are going.
“When we traveled to attend an out-of-state wedding, Jennifer took *excellent* care of our two Aussies across the 4-day weekend. Her ease with animals was evident from our initial meet and greet. Our pups—even the skittish one—engaged with her right away. She was super reliable and responsible, always where she was needed and did a great job of communicating with us throughout our trip. We could really relax and enjoy ourselves knowing she was looking after our home and our babies. She gave them the same level of attention and lovins as we would and that was so appreciated. Can’t wait to travel next time—we will DEFINITELY be requesting Jennifer again!”
About: I feel living on a farm, I can offer a dog plenty of exercise and play. I have owned dogs most of my life. I don't have any dogs as of now, so I feel this would be a great time to become a sitter/walker. I try and walk at least 3 miles a day myself, so I would also be able to walk the dog on a leash if that is needed. I am a reliable and compassionate person and love all animals, I own horses as well. I will play with the dogs outside as long as weather permits. I will have fresh water for them and a clean place to lay down. Please consider me when looking for a reliable dog sitter. I am retired, I have a ranch with my own animals, and I think pet sitting would be amazing to get me out of my house. I take care of client's animals in their homes. I will walk, feed, give supplements. I can also stay in the home if needed. It is up to the client's needs.

About: I have worked with animals a majority of my life. Whether it be dogs, cats, or even exotics, I have worked with a wide variety of creatures. This includes pet sitting, diet management, some training, daycare, and more. I also have 2 years of veterinary experience giving me an insight to recognize behaviors of all sorts of pets alike along with understanding how to work with them. I absolutely love pets, after all I love my own. I have about 7 of them myself including fur and scaled babies alike. My mornings usually start with them, and my nights end with them as well. With my two years of veterinary experience, I can recognize patterns that are out of the ordinary or are strange to the particular animal. This allows me to have proper knowledge of what to alert the pet parent to and ask if the behavior is normal for their babies while also keeping them updated to ensure that they are safe and taken care of.
About: As a healthcare professional, providing attentive, compassionate care comes naturally to me. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to follow routines and instructions closely. I'm a dog mom myself, so I know every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, enrichment, or just a calm companion while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, as well as administering oral medications when needed. I also have experience with high-energy dogs and understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. As a business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled visits, walks, and drop-ins while making sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, so I’ll work with you to maintain your pet’s normal routine and keep them comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I know pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where their routine, smells, and favorite spots are familiar. That's why I strive to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines, while giving your pet plenty of love and attention. My goal is to earn your trust by treating your home with respect and caring for your pets as if they were my own. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your sweet babies are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Kimari did great with my pets, she was very respectful of my home and patient with my dog who sometimes barks at strangers. I got photo updates daily and came home to a happy dog and cat!”

Remington took care of our three small dogs while we were gone for the weekend. She did a great job with their feeding requirements and the medication that our older dog needed. She made sure to spend some time outside with our miniature aussies who get the zoomies everyday. We will be reaching out to Remington to doggie sit for future vacations.
Jesailis stayed at our house with our two Yorkies while we were on vacation . She was very attentive and took great care of them. Her communication was excellent and she sent lots of photos and some videos, which assured us they were being taken care of. We definitely plan to use her again in the near future.

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 Keene 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 Keene 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 Keene 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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
