“We used Rover for the first time and couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our pet sitter arrived on time and did an excellent job following all of our instructions, including giving Manny his medication and bringing in the mail. She stayed for four days and went above and beyond by stripping the beds and cleaning up after herself before leaving. What impressed us most was how well she interacted with both of our pets, especially since neither of them is particularly friendly with strangers. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, caring hands while we were away. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again. She made our first experience with Rover a great one!”
“If I could give Aaron 10 Stars it wouldn't be enough!! I don't think I can find the right words to say how amazing he is. He cared for my babies as well as I do. The respect he showed for my home along with the many ways he went above and beyond, makes him not only an outstanding pet and house sitter but an exceptional person. In the future, I will probably schedule my vacations around his availability. He's that amazing. Thank you Aaron!”
“We were so happy with Leslie. She sat with our two dogs over the holiday weekend. She sent updates and checked in on a regular basis . When one pup had runny stool she even offered to make a special food to help her tummy. Leslie left the house as nice as she found it and was super respectful of our things but most importantly our dogs enjoyed her company and we trusted her through this first experience of leaving them behind. If she’d have us again we’d love to have her sit for us again sometime !”
About: Ever since I was little I had always animals near me whether that be dogs, cats or even farm animals, I knew/know how to take care of them! I love teaching dogs treats, my fav ones are speak and play dead!! I’m currently working part-time as a server, so when I get off around 2/3 I will have plenty of time to run and play or even cuddle with your pets! My attention will always be your pet at times to ensure their safety and well being in my care! I will always message you if I notice something off and even a quick picture of what we’re doing!:)
“Michelle was amazing! She took such great care of our baby! She have lots of updates throughout and she even took the time to check on our dog on her lunch. Will be definitely rebooking her again!”
“Another great sitting by Nina. My Sadie is 14 and recently had dental surgery. Nina handled it like a pro and was happy to chop up Sadie's food until her gums are doing better. I left my house is fairly good shape and came home to a house better shape! I am totally stress free when having Nina stay at my house. It makes my time away more enjoyable knowing my dog is in good hands!”
“Adriana is a very nice young girl. We would use her again. She sent regular updates on the cats and pictures. She was very conscientious about knowing where the cats were as they are indoor-outdoor kitties.”
“We are so thankful for Katie! We were gone all day for a wedding and we were able to enjoy that without having to worry about our dogs. She sent check ins and was super flexible. Our dogs loved her!”

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 Keyes 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 Keyes 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 Keyes 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.
