“Brigid was extremely professional and thorough taking care of our dog. She made sure he had everything he needed, from walks, food, and attention (most importantly). She provided regular updates along with pictures to us and it was apparent that our dog felt safe and sound. Highly recommended.”
“10/10 would recommend! Jessica and Guillermo were so amazing at taking care of Zip. Zip is a reactive dog and we were quite anxious leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Jessica made us feel so comfortable for the entire week she stayed with Zip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures that made us know he was in great care. She respected all the instructions we gave for taking Zip on walks and was very comforting knowing we were a little nervous to leave him. We had some travel delays getting home and Jessica made accommodation to stay extra time so we didn’t have to worry about Zip. Jessica and Guillermo stayed at our apartment for the week as well and were incredible guest. They were clean and gracious and even cleaned up before leaving. Safe to say Zip has new best friends and we will absolutely be booking again!”
“Trista came and helped out with a last minute request to watch my 3 Pom’s (including one with pretty bad separation anxiety 😬) while I was at a wedding. She was very responsive, on time, and flexible! If I’m ever in the area, I will definitely reach out again if I need a sitter! 😊”
“Antonia was outstanding! We knew ahead of time our fur babies were in great hands and we were not disappointed. Antonia was in contact with us, sending photos and updating us along the way. Vacation was much more relaxing knowing our dogs were happily in their home being loved on. Such a great find for our family!”
About: I have been around animals all my life, especially dogs. Growing up we always owned a dog. I grew up in an apartment around dogs, birds, rabbits, chicks, ducks, hamsters and turtles. Over the years, my main connections were and are dogs. They are so unique in their own way. Their personalities are very special to me. Dogs can talk for those who listen. I currently work full time. I am home by 4pm. I take my dogs out for long walks or to the doggie park when I arrive. My husband is our pets caretaker during the day since he works nights. He gets to play with them in the yard, walk them and feed our fur babies. I live in a corner lot house and it is partially fenced. Our dogs play in the yard. They also take long walks three times per day. We also have a dog park five minutes from the house and they enjoy going there.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals all the time. From taking care of the dogs to the cats in the house and even the ducks and chickens. My family had always been a big animal lovers. I have two big dogs one is a golden retriever and the other is a German shepherd, and two cats named Lucky and Oreo. They are all the babies of our big family. I’ve house sitter before from young dogs to senior dogs, as well as kittens to adult cats. I’ve taken care of neighbors companion friends before and they’ve always trusted me with making sure their dogs were well taken care of and happy. I know how to do CPR on both cats and dogs and how to train them on a basic level. I currently have a part time job with a very flexible schedule that I can manage. So more then enough time for pet care. I’m very flexible. I will do accordingly to what the owner of the house usually does. If they have a back yard I can have them go outside and play or if they prefer walks or even both. It is depends on what the client wants.
“Jaylynn was wonderful, she watched our dog at our house for 8 days and everything went great. My dog gets anxious being alone and I was nervous leaving her however Jaylynn was great with her. She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and Phobee warmed up to her quickly. I would highly recommend and I even plan to reach out again! Thank you Jaylynn!!!!”
“MaKenna took excellent care of our furry family while we were out of the country. She was great at communicating and providing photos. She was thorough with providing our Daisy her meds and getting to know Daisy, even though she's a bit shy. And Winnie and MaKenna seemed to click right away. It was clear by the photos that both animals had a great time!”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets professionally for 5 years, and I’ve loved every moment of it! :) I first started pet sitting during the summers while I was in college and have continued ever since, including after completing my undergrad last year. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. My most regular client is a big, sweet Pitbull, so I’m very comfortable and confident caring for larger pups! I’m also experienced with administering medications, including pills and insulin. I’ve always been an animal lover and find that I bond easily with just about every pet I care for. I take pride in providing loving, attentive, and reliable care for your fur babies and I absolutely love sending lots of photos and updates along the way! I’m currently working part-time, so I’m typically available anytime after 1 PM Monday–Friday. I’m also available on weekends as needed! I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible :) I have years of experience caring for pets and making their safety my top priority! I believe the best way to keep every pet happy and safe is to carefully review each owner’s instructions and reach out with any questions or concerns. Clear communication is always key, and I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands :)
“Jake is wonderful. We went on a trip for a week and he stayed with our older dogs. We got pictures and updates from Jake, he took them on walks and outside. The dogs are happy and the house was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jake. We never leave our dogs with anyone so this was a big deal and we can’t thank Jake enough for making this a great experience.”
About: Hi! I’m Yunhan and I also go by Riley. I am certified by the American Red Cross in cat and dog first aid, and I have experience administering oral, optical, and topical medications to pets. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of three cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to the little things and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I can provide morning, midday, and evening visits, administer meals or medications, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time playing with or comforting your fur babies. My remote work also makes it easy to accommodate last-minute check-ins or longer visits. Caring for my own three cats has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Every day I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their litter boxes clean, monitor their health and behavior, and spend time playing and giving them attention. I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems off, whether it’s changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits. Since each of my cats has a different personality, I’ve learned to adapt my care to what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Absolutely amazing job with my two dogs. Always showed up on time and gave them the love they needed. Followed all the instructions I left for her perfectly. Couldn't be happier, will definitely rebook!”
“Natalia was so great! She kept us updated every step of the way. We had some complications and needed to change some travel plans and Natalia was flexible and every easy to communicate with. Our pups loved her & we would happily work with her again! :)”
“We have a very nervous dog with separation anxiety, so it made me feel so comfortable that he felt quickly at ease with Amy. He took to her instantly during our meet and greet, and when she came to pet sit, he didn’t even follow us to the door when we left which is something he always does! He clearly loves hanging out with her. Amy has a nice, calm demeanor and I think she’s a great pet-sitter. We enjoyed the photos she sent and definitely plan to use her services again.”
About: Hey Pup Parents! If you want your pride and joy to be cared for just like you would look no further. I have 2+ years Dog-sitting and pride myself on my dog walking skills.

I am available most weekdays before 6 a.m. and after 5 p.m. I am available all weekend, if you have a trip you can't take your furry friends on. Know they will be safe and happy while you are away! Communication is a must and you will always know how your pet is doing. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and am open to all breeds. ☮️❤️?
About: Pet care has been part of my life for over 15 years! I grew up with multiple dogs (from tiny to large breeds) and even rescued a cat of my own! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at ease while you're away because to me, they deserve nothing less. Pet care fits right into my routine! I work part-time babysitting and have tons of free time since I’m graduating in May. This means I can offer flexible hours for walks, playtime, and cuddles whenever your pet needs them. I’m excited to fill that extra time with fun and care for your furry friend! When caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure to maintain their usual routine to minimize any stress. In my home, I provide a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel safe, relaxed, and at ease, with plenty of space for play, rest, and companionship. In your home, I ensure everything stays just like they’re used to, from feeding and walks to playtime or quiet company. I provide daily updates, whether through messages or pictures, so you’re always in the loop. I also make sure your home stays clean and your pet gets all the attention they need. I treat your pet and home with the utmost respect, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you’re away.
About: I have loved every dog like its my own and cant wait to prove that to you! I love to send as many pictures and updates when I can as well as keep the home in cleaner than how I left it! I am a college student so my schedule its complex but not filled! I have alot of free time especially on the weekends and I have alot of free time during the afternoons on weekdays! I always like to make sure I know the puppers lifestyle before working with them so I can prepare accordingly in my schedule to get them the attention that they need as well giving way too many cuddles and hugs! I like to make sure I can see the pupper as leads every 5 hours or sooner to make sure they are comfortable and plan accordingly to give them the undivided attention they all deserve
“Henri watched our three dogs for a week and did a great job. He was reliable, took good care of them, and we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We would definitely use Henri again!”

Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! They were reliable, caring, and treated my pet like their own. I received regular updates and felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
Ava was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lola! She kept communication open throughout our time away and provided frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She treated Lola like she was her own, making sure she was well cared for, exercised, and loved. We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our pup in Ava's care. We will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations or anytime we need to be away. We highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!
Christine was beyond amazing!!! We attended our son's wedding weekend and did not want to leave our 14 year old dog alone as she gets anxious. Christine readily accommodated our split shifts needs and was very much liked by all of our family staying at the hotel. The true testament to her goodness and her love of pets is when she came to our hotel our dog got so excited, wagged her tail non- stop and jumped with excitement after meeting with her for the third time. Our dog treated Christine like she was family and that is the type of person she is. Christine made us very comfortable and our dog even more. I will highly recommend and will ask Christine again to stqy with our dog. Christine is AWESOME!!!!
Hilal was so great with our dogs. They loved her and we can’t wait to book again! She was patient with out more reactive dog and by the time we got home, they were best friends. She clearly knows how to handle dogs that are super friendly and those that need a little more convincing to settle down. We’re so glad she could accept our booking last minute.

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 Landing 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 Landing 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 Landing 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!

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 .
