“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.”
“Remington is an all star pet sitter! She expertly watched my 130lb mastiff who is a little shy. But in just a short while they were best buds! He waits for her to arrive in the morning and they have a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to contact her to pet sit for me again, she's awesome!”
About: We love iur 4 legged babies and treat them like family members. We have threebabies and they are spoiled rotten. I make homemade treats for them which they get a morning and nite time treat. We gave a feeding schedule which is 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. They all sleep with us and settle in with us for tv time in the evening. . One of our girls even has a car seat because she loves going with me when u can take her. As u can see like I said earlier we live dogs. I would have more if I had room and lots if land.. we donate when we can to the spca. Anyone u ask would tell u that we are great with animals and trust us with their fur babies. I am retired and have no children living at home. I love animals and treat them like family. I’m also available to set with your babies at your home or mine. I try to have a set schedule for walking. Playing. Feeding and rest times. I believe all pets need lots of love and attention. I request proof of vaccinations. The dogs will never be left alone.
About: Hello, I have been raised with and cared for dog almost my entire life. I have had friends and family rely on me for dog care for periods of time. I am currently a PhD student at Texas Tech studying animal science. I also have dog of my own I love and care for. I love to take my dog on walks and play fetch in the evenings and during the day on weekends. I can care for your animal at your home and take care of all needs. I do not keep other pets at my home, but I can take your pet on walks and play outside of owners house.
“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.”
About: Hello! My name is Hannah, I, have worked with dogs and cats for 5 years now, 3 years as a manager at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, the only reason i left was to pursue my career (a hairstylist ) but now on my off days i miss taking care of dogs and cats 😁. I love animals so much, I have owned animals as well. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them and I keep an eye on them to make sure they are okay. I have taken care of many dogs in all different stages of life. I have a soft heart for furry friends and want my clients to feel comfortable and relaxed knowing that I am there to watch their dogs. I am a great communicator as well. I have also rescued a puppy when i was in a foreign country and took him to a humane society. My boyfriend has a German Shepard andI work with a lot of German Shepard’s, huskies as well as tiny dogs like chihuahuas, spaniel mixes etc If you are also in need of a stylist 👀 (HannahAbbyHair) I’m a hairstylist, some weeks are busy some aren’t. My schedule currently that works is Monday-Thursday available. But you can always message me and work something out I’m very flexible!! I enjoy being goofy and having fun while also making sure they know the limits and guidelines! I worked at a daycare and would manage 15-30 dogs at a time so you learn the ropes pretty quick! I love cats as well but i don’t pressure them for attention. If they want to they will is my logic (:
About: I’m a big dog lover and truly enjoy giving dogs all the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m kind, patient, loving, and reliable, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their individual routines and needs. I’m also very good at communicating and will keep you updated about how your dog is doing, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like family! I work part-time and attend college, but I take time management very seriously and maintain a flexible schedule with plenty of free time. I also care for my own fur baby at home, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and consistency when it comes to pet care. I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I care for every pet with the same love, attention, and responsibility that I give my own fur baby. At home, I take her on walks every morning, make sure she always has fresh water, and give her treats and her favorite peanut butter. My family and I give her plenty of attention, including cuddles, affection, and companionship. She especially loves sunbathing and relaxing in her favorite chair with me! When caring for a client’s pet, I’m very open to learning and following their individual routine, preferences, and needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I want to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care.
“Kat is amazing! Our great dane loves her and she is so sweet with him. She is flexible extremely responsible, responsive and just a great human! We will be using her in the future for drop in and dog sitting for sure!!!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to dogs! I grew up in a 5-dog household, so chaos, cuddles, and constant tail wags have always been normal for me. I’ve also been dog sitting for my grandma since I was about 12 (22 now) whenever she travels, helping with feeding, walks, and general care. Now I live on a ranch with 3 dogs, plus horses & other animals. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a business owner with a flexible schedule, I have the ability to adjust my routine to accommodate pet care on my days off. I take Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off, and I’m available after 3 PM on Saturdays sometimes earlier upon request. This gives me plenty of time to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I prioritize ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need during my available hours. When I’m watching pets at their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just hanging out, I keep them busy and happy while giving them some love and attention. I also take care to keep their space tidy and make sure everything is safe for the pets. My goal is to make them feel like they’re getting all the love and care they need while their owner is away.
“Paula is a doggie rockstar! She house sat for our Winston while we were out of town last weekend. Not only was she flexible in scheduling, she came extremely prepared to our meet-and-greet with a questionnaire. Paula sent us photos/updates from her stay and even left a handwritten thank you note at the end. Will definitely be booking Paula again!”
“Stop! You have found the right house/dog/cat sitter for you. My wife and I planned an extended vacation and certain circumstances led us to Rover and finding Kayla H. From the very beginning, Kayla responded promptly and was very helpful guiding us through the process. From our initial messages, to the meet and greet, through her entire stay in our home, Kayla never said no to any request, and did things above, and beyond. Kayla was respectful in our home and most importantly she treated our two dogs and two cats in the same manner that we care and love them. Kayla’s attitude, personality, and most importantly her actions provided us with ease to go on vacation carefree. We cannot provide a strong enough recommendation for you to use Kayla for your sitting needs. My only hope is that Kayla is available for our next vacation.”
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: I’ve had dogs all my life (of all ages) and enjoy working with them. I currently have 3 dogs that require lots of attention! Most dogs take an instant liking and trust with me and so do cats. I have no allergies to pets either. I have 2 years of exotics professionally with birds, amphibians, and reptiles. I also have my bachelors in environmental science with a concentration in animal sciences. Senior dogs, especially hounds, have my heart! I’m currently job-hunting and am looking for income to raise money for law school. I am free most days and can do weekends and overnight stays. I have a full fenced backyard as well as a dog door for emergencies. I feed my dogs separately. Room doors are always open if animals need anything and a doggie door to go outside. At your home you can expect respect and cleanliness. I appreciate written instructions on how you like things at your home. Additionally, please let me know rules on eating in the house, guests, etc.
“Jenny was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It was obvious that our pets loved spending time with her. She treated them like they were her own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care! Coming home to happy, relaxed pets gave us complete peace of mind and showed us just how amazing she is! We are beyond pleased with Jenny’s services and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter! She did everything right, and we will absolutely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Jenny, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!”
About: I have my own two dogs, a lab and a golden retriever who I love to take care of. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, and playtime. I love giving dogs the fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m available for dog walks in the afternoon and evening, and I’m flexible with timing depending on your pup’s needs. Whether it’s a midday break or an evening stroll, I’m happy to help! I have my own dogs, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I make sure mine get plenty of exercise, healthy meals, and lots of love every day.

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 , 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.
