“Julie was so helpful to us! She took care of our elderly dog and skittish kitty with as much love as we would have. She provided regular updates and photos and even did light housekeeping for us-that we didn’t expect at all!! I highly recommend Julie for your pets and home.”
“Savannah was such an amazing fit for my dog! I felt confident in her abilities to give my dog the care and attention she needed. Savannah would check in multiple times a day with updates and pictures! She gave my dog lots of love and playtime. I will continue to invite her back in the future! She was kind, attentive and communicative.”
“We couldn’t recommend Debbie enough!!!! She was (miraculously) available fairly last minute for our trip and from the word go, she was top notch! Our home and puppy Philomena were so well cared for while we were away. Debbie sent us plenty (but not too many) of snapshots and occasional videos of Phil living her best life while we were away. Thank you Debbie for being Phil’s new friend and we can’t wait to have you back again!. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, ‘no notes’ as the saying goes. 🥰.”
“Thor and Lilac absolutely adore Katjerine, which tells me everything I need to know. They’re always happy and comfortable with her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She’s dependable, caring, and clearly a true dog person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been helping to care for dogs since I was 10. I grew up with golden retrievers in the home and have been around dogs my entire life. Our Rottweiler recently passed away and my daughter and her were best friends! I am not ready to have a dog back in the house full time but have realized, after dog sitting for a friends puppy, this would be a great way to help care for others pets. I work from home so I am able to take frequent breaks for walks and potty breaks. I would not make myself available to care for anyone’s pets if I knew I was going to be out of the house for long periods of time. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood. I do not have a large yard, however; I do have a dog park in my neighborhood that is large and fenced in for great exercise. We would take frequent walks with my daughter around the neighborhood as well.
About: Hi! My name is Alexa and I live in Lebanon with my Fiancé and 3 babies, Medusa, Beau, & Zeus. I have been devoted to animal care taking since a very young age. I grew up with mainly American Bullies, Pitbulls, & Frenchies so I have a deep understanding of their every need. But, I love all dogs as if they are my own! I can assure you that your pet will be in good hands with not only one, but two people in the house who work from home! They will be fed on a schedule just like my babies are, out to potty and for walks, play time with any toy they would like or they can even try the enrichment toys, bath time if they need one, and last but not least they can lay in their doggy bed or on my bed/couch! My fiancé and I currently work from home to be able to fit your pets schedule! With a commitment to you & your furry baby, my schedule is designed to fit their every need. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day treats, or even late night cuddles, I will accommodate their every need. You can be rest assured that your baby is in good hands in with pictures throughout the day and always being able to reach me whether that be a phone call or text message to my phone, I am always available to your every need! In my home, your dogs safety and trust mean the world to my fiancé and I. We have created a secure environment for you baby to feel like they are right at home. I am always available to both you & your pet at your every need. With staying in my home, they will always have a stress free environment to receive the love and attention they deserve.
“Mana took excellent care of our animals! She did an overnight stay for 2 nights. We have a 14 yr old dog & cat - both have special needs and daily medications! We will use Mana again in the future!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I grew up with a dog and got my first cat when I was 7. Since then, I have had many wonderful pets who have greatly enhanced my life. My cat Vinnie was diabetic, so I have experience giving injections. I can also administer oral medication. I have been pet sitting for clients in the West Chester area for years and am happy to provide references. I absolutely love animals, and I will treat your pets as I do my own. I know how hard it is to leave them, and I will provide regular updates so that you have peace of mind. I tutor remotely and can make my own schedule, so I have lots of availability for your pets. I can do overnight stays when needed. I will keep your pets' schedules and routines. We will have plenty of play time and snuggles. I will brush them (if they like that.)
“John was great taking care of our dog, cat, and house while we were away. He was super responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made us very comfortable. He also had a lot of patience dealing with our challenging senior dog who is very wary of strangers. He put in work to make her feel comfortable and begin to relax. Will be booking again for sure.”
“Sheila is an excellent pet sitter. We felt that our pups/kitty were safe and well taken care of while we made a last minute overnight trip. They are a handful / Sheila handled them beautifully!”
About: I’m a very active person and I will return your pup to you worn out from their vacation! I have been taking care of dogs intermittently since I was 10-11, and I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable with big dogs, and I’m not one to let a dog take advantage of me and my treat jar. I’m also very comfortable with little dogs! Lap dogs are always welcome in this home :) With the recent passing of my dog, I am ready to bring a furry friend back into my home while you're away. My job is very flexible, and I am able to work from home or drop in to let the pup out for potty breaks if needed. I love to go on long walks after work, and your pup will enjoy those with me. I love walking to Domino Park, and would love to let your pup run in the dog park if you're comfortable. Otherwise, we will make long loops around the neighborhood. My roommate and I live on the first floor of a beautiful, large apartment. My office/guest room includes a lovely twin bed that your pup can relax on while I work. I have experience with senior dogs as well, and the first floor apartment could be perfect for a pup with mobility issues. We both absolutely love dogs and someone will always be around to give snuggles!
About: I like to be around animals and I have been also working at a doggie daycare that people drop there dogs off at and we watch them while there parent is at work. I like to take dogs on walks and I’ll take them out to go potty Pet care fits into my daily routine as I have a dog at home that fits into my routine and I work at a pet care facility where I am a doggie daycare attendant as well as a bather Take them out to go potty, feed them, play with them and also just watching them making sure there not doing anything there not supposed to be doing
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.
“As always, Hope was an amazing sitter for our dog, Chester. This is the third time we've asked Hope to stay at our house with Ches. We trust her completely and Chester loves her. She is communicative, polite, courteous, and tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Kylie did an awesome job staying with our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. Quick to respond and thorough communication, provided lots of photos and updates. She was fantastic with our almost 16 year old senior dog who wears a diaper and requires more care, and also played fetch in the backyard with our younger dog. She was tidy and left the house spotless. Would book again!”
“Heather was excellent - I would highly recommend her. She stayed overnight with my 15 year old dog and gave him his meds as well. I felt very comfortable with her in the house and Munson, my shitzu, loved her.”
“This was our first time using anyone but family to housesit and watch our dogs. We chose Jeff, and when our dogs met him they opened up to him right away. We have 2 dogs, 1 is a puppy who loves everyone and is still training. The other is 7 and terrified of everyone but she went to Jeff. It made going away a lot easier. Jeff was great, he was good with our dogs and the house was spotless when we returned.”
“Anna was great! Will absolutely be booking again. My two dogs were happy to see me when i got home, but not too happy-- that's how i can tell they got lots of attention and play time. Anna was conscientious and responsible, it was clear the dogs were fed, happy, and loved. And i think my house looked better than how i left it. It was obvious from the meet and greet that Anna is smart, mature, and takes dog care seriously. Can 100% recommend!”

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 Kings Mills 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 Kings Mills 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 Kings Mills 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.
