“Andrea was a delight to work with. Bailey loved having her and Chris take care of her. They were polite, took care of our girl and our home. We would certainly use them again.”
“We’ve used Dominic twice now and know our dogs are in great hands!! She’s responsive, sends lots of photos and updates, and is respectful of our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”
“Sean is professional and dependable! We have Three dogs, small, medium and large with varied personalities and he took great care of each one. We were gone 4 nights, it was so nice to receive photos and updates each day, something we never got from boarding with a kennel or vet! Communication was great! We highly recommend Sean and we will definitely be calling him again the next time we go out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a dedicated animal lover and an experienced veterinary technician who understands that your pets are family. Working in veterinary medicine has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, puppies, kittens, and pets with medical needs. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply someone to give them extra love while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and behavior, and I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and handling unexpected situations calmly. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members with someone you can trust. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I can stop by before 8:00 am and after 3:00 pm on Saturday. I don’t work a set schedule so my availability will stay up to date. I will always try to work you in. I have a super friendly dogs and 3 cats that been around dogs many times. Your dog will get lots of outside time and walks at a trail near my house. Also will be able to provide enrichment for other animals.
About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
About: Hi there! I’m Krystal — a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent who has cared for animals of all kinds since I was young. From dogs and cats to small critters, I’ve always had a natural connection with pets and a genuine passion for their well-being. I attended Michigan State University’s pre-veterinary program, where I gained a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, and care. That background, combined with hands-on experience as a pet owner, gives me a calm, confident approach to handling pets with different personalities and needs. Whether I’m providing overnight boarding, drop-in visits, or daily walks, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and compassionate, ensuring your pets get the attention, affection, and structure they deserve. You can always count on me for open communication and updates, so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and loved. ❤️ I am a current pet owner so pet care is always a part of my daily schedule. This is possible with planning and consistency. By viewing pet care as a necessary and enjoyable part of my schedule, I can assure pets receive the attention and care they need without overwhelming my professional life. I treat every pet as an individual and every client's home with the same respect and attention to detail that I would expect for my own.
“Owein was amazing! He came ahead of time to meet the pups and talk through all the care stuff in person which I really appreciated! Owein was so thorough, thoughtful, and took extra care to make me feel confident with their care. I was sent regular updates a couple of photos which was great! Overall, the care my dogs received was fantastic and I would definitely like to have Owein watch my dogs in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have always loved being around them. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and enjoy playing, going on walks, giving lots of attention, and snuggling with them. I currently work part-time, and my schedule varies from week to week. I receive my work schedule about two weeks in advance, so I’m able to plan pet care ahead of time. Even on days I work, I may still be available for visits depending on my shift. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and your instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether they need walks, playtime, meals, medication reminders, crate time, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to provide the care they’re used to.
“Chloe was great! She was able to help us out on short notice and make adjustments as needed. We have a dog that is slightly aggressive with people entering the home and she handled it perfectly even when he gave her some issues. She kept us updated throughout the stay and wasn’t afraid to ask questions when needed. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend Chloe to friends!!”
“Courtney was great! She followed all of our instructions, left the house as she found it, and the dogs were happy when we came home. Would definitely leave my pups with her again. Thank you!”
“Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.”
“Carlee took good care of our old man Gus while we were gone. She provided updates when necessary and left the house in great condition. We will definitely use Carlee again!”
“We were very happy with how things went with Danielle! It was my first time hiring a stranger to watch my dogs but she was kind and instantly made me feel better. I would definitely recommend!”
“Stephanie was amazing! My oldest dog Bucky is very particular about people and can get stressed easily if his routine changes. Stephanie stayed with my animals for two nights and three days and I have never come home to Bucky being so un stressed out! She made sure to visit two times before her stay so they would get to know her. Watching her talk and interact with them on those visit helped ease the stress I felt about using a Rover for the first time.”
“Our fur babies were well loved and cared for by Angel. They were happy and calm when we arrived back home. Our house was clean and neat, just like we left it. Angel kept in touch and sent pictures and videos daily; picked up our mail amd even watered our plants 💝Bed was stripped and towels put in the laundry room...thank you😊. We have already requested a "rebooking" for October. 5 🌟 👍”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’m currently a registered nurse. I love when the therapy animals come by, probably more than the patients do! I am mostly available on weekends and some days during the week! I am an RN so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m off on weekends and holidays! On days that I do work, I’m off usually around 5pm. I am able to spend as much time needed on drop-in days as your pet needs. I will not rush them to eat or go outside.
“Lisa is a very dependable and loving dog sitter. She showed up on time and patiently went over the details on how to care for our two pups overnight. She asked great questions so that everything was covered, including things I didn't remember like medicine and keys! Our pups were calm and happy on our return. Could not ask for a better caregiver than Lisa! We are so fortunate to have connected with her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As a biology student who hopes to become a veterinarian, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I’ll always communicate with you and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep them in a safe environment, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Killian
This was my first time having a sitter stay in my house and take care of our two dogs. I was very, very nervous but Ruth is wonderful and so sweet. She was very respectful of our home and made sure to let our dogs out throughout day even though she was at school/working (she is quite the hard worker!). She was understanding of all their little quirks lol She was a great communicator and guest in our home. I would definitely book with 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 Killian 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 Killian 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 Killian 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.
