“This was our first time traveling without our dog and Katelyn made the experience so much less stressful! She stayed in our home, gave updates with pictures and took such good care of our dog! We are grateful!”
“Makala is everything you want in a pet-sitter. Prompt to respond, extremely accommodating on hours and way underpriced given her experience and expertise. More importantly than all these things, however, is that Rover is not a side hustle for her so much as a natural extension of her every day. She's professionally trained to care for others' pets and so clearly enjoys doing so. Speaking from my experience, she's very good at it, too.”
“Highly recommended! Elayna was wonderful. She made sure to keep us updated on when she got to our place, walked and fed our puppy, and even our puppy’s naps. She sent us photos and even in the pictures it looked like our puppy, Lima was smiling with her there. Elayna was flexible, communicative, and very kind. We will definitely be booking her in the future for Lima.”
“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”
“Our boys love people.. so we were happy to find Molly who could house sit with them. (normally people think cats can be left alone but our boys are social!) While we were gone we received updates and photos to let us know how they were doing. We came home to a cleaned up house and happy kitties. Will definitely reach out to Molly if we need sitting in the future.”
“Buddy and Gracie were happy to see us. Our plane was delayed, so we reached home at 6:30. The house was good and so were Buddy and Gracie. The girls did a fine job and everything was in order. Except for the wifi problem everything was perfect. I did not receive any daily up-dates because of the wifi problem. I communicated with the girls by phone. Thak you so much for keeping our kids safe while we were away!”
“Obi can be anxious but he was well cared for. Plenty of communication and updates, lots of play time, and he made a new dog friend with Astrid! 10/10 will rebook with Richard!”
“Kennedy was awesome. She was there for us when we had to book last minute because the person who was supposed to watch our dog bailed unexpectedly. She was receptive, considerate, kind, and communicative. I should mention that our baby is an English Bulldog. Kennedy understands the different needs of brachiocephalic breeds. And she was able to go that extra mile for us to properly care for our fur baby!”
“Nikki was the best and I felt so comfortable with her watching my fur babies. She sent wonderful pictures and I could see my dogs very happy. We will book with her on the next trip.”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Kacy is wonderful with our shy and quirky dog! She provides regular pictures and updates about how things are going, so I never worry. She also takes great care of our home while we're away.”
“Bre was very good at communicating. Being a nervous dog mom gets the best of me sometimes. She was very quick to respond with any question I had. She was very understanding with my great danes anxiety towards new people and men. She just blended right in with them 😊”
“Good communication, kind, considerate. She went above and beyond to make sure my "non-traditional" pets also had water in addition to my cat. She was respectful of my house, and I will be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Alivia was great and took wonderful care of our Nomar! We were gone for 8 days and she stayed at our house the whole time… and sent updates on him! We really appreciated her!! 🤍”
“Stellar! Sydney took very great care of my two dogs, including the diabetes dog/shots on while staying in my home while I was away! She communicated with me daily-even sent cute pics! House was just the way I left it! Great communication! Very capable young woman! Definitely booking her again, and gives me a lot more freedom knowing that I can trust someone with my pets!”
“We can't say enough great things about Brittany. She's very caring,friendly,knowledgeable about pets (she's a Vet Tech!), thorough,and really communicative. Giving us numerous updates while we were away. She's forward thinking, asking us questions that we hadn't given thought to. Anyone using her is lucky to have watch their pets!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!”

Alyssa took such great care of our dog Koa! She was very reliable and communicative and we really appreciated the frequent updates and photos while we were away. She also took great care of our home. We felt completely comfortable knowing Koa and our home were in good hands. We look forward to having Alyssa dog sit for us again in the future.
I had a wonderful experience! I particularly like that I received so many pictures. They went above and beyond and truly loved my dogs like my own. One of my dogs is anxious and they knew exactly how to handle that. I was able to not worry on vacation because of the care I received.
Jeremy stayed in our home for a week with our Husky and two elderly cats - one cat requires both an oral and a topical medication and our Husky requires an oral medication. Jeremy provided excellent care and at least daily check ins with photos. Our home was super clean when we returned home and could tell that Jeremy tends to both the pets and home he is caring for like his own. Jeremy also handled more bizarre situations that were encountered (like a dead possum in our backyard) super well. Communication from the start of our request for a meet and greet was exemplary. Quick responses and always right on time at the agreed upon time even when using public transportation as the primary mode of transit. We would love to welcome Jeremy back into our home and would be so grateful to have him care for our animals and house again in the future.
Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!
Hannah did a fantastic job taking care of our Boston Terrier and our house (and plants!) while we were gone for two weeks. She kept us informed everyday. He gets very anxious on walks, but she even got him out for a couple walks and gave us some tips on how to make walks more enjoyable for him. We would definitely recommend Hannah!
Mackenzie watched our two dogs from 12/29-1/4. We have nothing but positive feedback. She stayed in our home and kept everything in order and our new puppy Penny is only 4 months old and I did not feel that I needed to worry about anything while on vacation. We loved seeing all of the pictures that were sent to us and would highly recommend d Makenzie for all dog sitting needs.
Tanner was the best sitter we've ever had. We've used Rover a few times, and we've never gotten this lucky. We explained to Tanner that we've had some less-than-ideal experiences before, so we explained what we were looking for to see if you could meet our needs. Without hesitation, he said yes. We never once had to worry that Gus was being taken care of. We got videos and photos showing Tanner and Gus having a great time together. We honestly were a little worried that Gus wouldn't want us to come back! On top of that, we had a lot of packages being delivered and one big one that needed to be signed for, and Tanner took care of all of that. Gus was reactive to the doorbell, so Tanner even chased down the delivery driver to get the package that Gus kept him from. The real cherry on top. We came home to framed photos of our boy during Tanner's stay with him—such a sweet and thoughtful gift to leave us. We will be using Tanner for all our dog/house-sitting needs going forward.

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 Kennedy Township 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 Kennedy Township 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 Kennedy Township 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.
