“Zoe was fantastic! She took excellent care of our dogs, Thursday and Luna, as well as our plants while we were in Europe for 12 days. We highly recommend her for your in-home pet sitting needs!”
“Betty was amazing with our pack. She sent daily updates and pictures, took care of the house, and cleaned so we wouldn’t have to do anything when we got home. I appreciate knowing that our babies were with someone so caring and attentive and I hope that she will be our sitter for any future trip we need to go on.”
“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”
“Cara was the most amazing dog sitter!!! I was out of town for almost a week and didn’t have to worry for a second about my dogs - she took them on long walks downtown, took them to swim in her pool, and they absolutely loved her! I swear they were hoping she would walk in the door when I got home instead of me. Highly recommend Cara for all your pet sitting needs. Thanks Cara!!”
About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my deep and varied pet care experience, fueled by genuine love and mirroring the dedicated care I provide my own furry family. Beyond standard sitting, I offer an understanding of canine behavior and individual needs through hands-on dog training, certified pet therapy volunteering, shelter and rescue assistance and fostering dogs of all ages and backgrounds. This comprehensive experience allows me to provide specialized care, especially for puppies and senior dogs. My commitment goes beyond simply supervising dogs. I strive to create a comfortable, enriching and safe environment where your dog is family, receiving the individualized attention and understanding they deserve. Pet care is deeply integrated into my daily life; it's my full-time dedication. Daily Routine: Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM): My day often begins with my own pets. This includes: Feeding: Ensuring everyone gets their appropriate breakfast, fresh water and medications Potty Breaks: Taking them outside for their morning elimination. Exercise/Playtime: A walk in the yard, a quick game of fetch, to get their energy levels up. Health Checks: A quick visual assessment to ensure everyone is looking and acting healthy. Mid-Morning/Afternoon (Variable): This is often when I schedule client visits or depending on the day, this might involve: running errands Boarding Care: For dogs staying with me, this includes regular potty breaks, supervised playtime in my yard (often integrated with my own dogs if appropriate and safe), and individual attention. Evening (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM): This mirrors the morning routine for my own pets: Feeding: Dinner time for everyone. Potty Breaks: Evening elimination walks. Relaxation/Affection Time: Cuddling on the couch, gentle petting or quiet playtime. Preparing for the Night: Ensuring fresh water and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Late Evening (Before Bed - 10:00 PM - 10:30 PM)): A final potty break before we all settle in for the night. Mack Pack Pet Services LLC - Where your dog is family here! Licensed & Insured. Caring for your beloved pet is my full-time passion, ensuring they receive dedicated attention and become a happy member of our pack! We ensure a smooth transition with carefully supervised introductions to our resident pack: Marley and Asher (Great Danes) and Mea (Shepherd Mix ). I am unable to board dominant or aggressive dogs. They'll enjoy stimulating playtime in our monitored group setting on our expansive 2.5-acre fenced property. If needed, your dog can retreat to its own secure, comfortable room (with optional crate) for peaceful rest. You can expect a happy and well-exercised dog upon their return.
“Beverly was awesome. This was the first time we were away from our 150lb mastiff puppy and we were worried about him. Bev made us very comfortable during the meet and greet and communicated with us up until the the sit started to ensure she had all the details and care instructions. On the day of the sit she showed up right on time and settled in before we had to leave, so the puppies would get used to her being in the house. During the next few days she took wonderful care of our furbabies. She played with them and cuddled with them when they were moping and was persistent about trying to get them to eat. Pretty soon they were following her around everywhere. She sent us a lot of pictures of them and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. We would love for her to care for our babies again in the future.”
“Tim was great to work with. The puppies seemed to get along great with him from the first meeting and Tim sent pictures while we were away for nearly a week. He was communicative throughout our trip and very accommodating by helping out with the trash and recycling on their pickup days too! I would not hesitate to rebook with Tim in the future!”
“Fantastic job! Fur babies loved her. She gave my cat who has asthma his pills and inhaler twice a day. Arrived early and great with communication/photos. I have 1 dog and two cats and she stayed over for two days, I have zero complaints and will book again!”
“Amelia took such good care of our Husky for the week while we were away. She communicated daily with pictures and videos. We are so lucky to have found her. Raven loves her. I would trust her with my pets and home any day.”
“I don't know who is happier we found Victoria... us or, our dog :) We are so happy to have found Victoria's profile. She was a lifesaver when a different sitter canceled last minute. She is friendly, easy-going, experienced, and handled our high energy pup well! We appreciate how communicative she is; she sent us photos and videos while we were away. When we came home, she had given us text updates, and a written note -- 5 stars, truly!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly detailed and communicative throughout the entire stay, which made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them and their routines. She was always prompt, reliable, and honestly felt more like a friend than just a pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!!”
About: Hello! Aside from growing up around dogs all my life, (a pug and rotties!) I also worked at two animal hospitals as a kennel attendant. Kennel attendants are responsible for taking care of your dogs & cats while you're away! Working in an animal hospital also helped me recognize behaviors that dogs/cats show when they are sick or injured, which helped me be prepared to know when to seek medical assistance. I am also experienced with all personalities of dogs/cats: the anxious, playful, silly, aggressive and pets with attachment anxiety! I am confident with my experience working in hospitals and also hanging around dogs and cats daily that your pets will be safe and happy with me. I treat them as if they are my own! I do work part-time, but my schedule is flexible! Currently, I am off Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. As I gain more clients I would like to have less hours at my current job and be able to pick up more hours pet-sitting! I understand that routine is super important for most animals, (feeding times, going potty, playtime and bedtime) so I always try to keep consistent with what they are used to.
“Ben was absolutely wonderful! He communicated well sent great photos and we felt very good about having him care for our dogs. He asked great questions when he was unsure and to me that is the mark of a great person and a caring pet sitter! We will ask Ben back for sure!”
About: I've always cared for animals, and I'm willing to go above and beyond for animals who need help. Owners need help as much as their animals do! I'm currently out of work, so willing to do anything for animals to make ends meet. If I can help every animal and owner, I will. Inside other's homes I will do everything in my power to keep it as it was when I first enter. There is nothing to deter me from maintaining proper care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,863 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Layfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Layfield 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 Layfield 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 Layfield 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.
