“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pets! We had a two week trip to Europe and it was so nice to be so far away and not have to worry. Charity even handled our AC dying during our trip and sorting out a repair man and keeping everyone cool and comfortable in the summer heat. Can’t recommend highly enough!”

“Our third time having Emily & Mari look after our Sunny boy was a success! They kept us updated when we were out of the country for two weeks with daily photos, and gave us so much peace of mind as always. They are honest and communicative which we always appreciate. Sunny was cozy in his own home with them and his usual self when we arrived to our clean home, which is priceless. Thank you Emily and Mari!”
About: I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”
“My pups had a great day with Nicole! I had a long day out of town - too long for my dogs to be alone all day. Nicole spent time playing with and loving on them. They’ve been snooza poloza since I got home! Nicole’s interactions with both of my dogs - even anxious Dexter - meant I could spend the day away with confidence because she’s so great with them. Thank you!”
About: I grew up around furry friends and adore them. At the family house we dog sit all the time. I am honored with any amount of time I get to spend with animals! I am looking to do this full time. I have a mostly empty schedule and I am available almost all around the clock at almost all times. Your furry friends are safe with me. They will be treated like family (because they are) and will be treated with the upmost respect because that is what they deserve.
About: I have over 6 years of personal and professional experience with dogs and cats. I’m a groomer in training which means I have experience with handling dogs and making them comfortable. I’m able to provide baths , ear cleanings and nail trimmings for an additional low fee. I also have experience as a kennel technician which means I have taken care of dogs and cats in boarding spaces. I have experience administering oral medication (including to cats) and know pet CPR. I currently work full-time and have open availability on weekends. I would be more than happy to coordinate our schedules to find what works best for you. I will follow all provided instructions. I am very aware that every pet has their own routine, and I would hate to disrupt that. I can take them for long walks around your neighborhood or even take them to a nearby park. If we prefer to stay at home, I will ensure they have a good time and feel comfortable in my presence. Tengo más de 6 años de experiencia personal y profesional con perros y gatos.

About: Experience & Philosophy With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a diverse array of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and small exotics—I bring a deep, foundational understanding of animal behavior and needs to every walk. This extensive background, enriched by my work with animal foster groups, has honed my ability to read subtle cues and adapt to each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I don't just see a walk as a routine task; I view it as a vital opportunity for enrichment, exercise, and building a positive connection. My Approach: Patience & Partnership My core focus is on fostering trust—both with your pet and with you. I believe patience is the cornerstone of a great relationship, so I take the time to let shy or anxious dogs warm up at their own pace, using calm, positive reinforcement. For you, the owner, this means consistent, clear communication and detailed updates, so you always feel confident and connected while you're apart. Your peace of mind and your pet's genuine comfort are my top priorities, ensuring every outing is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your specific expectations. I am self-employed and work from home. Because of this I maintain my own schedule, which means your pets can be my priority when I am with them. My home is an active and engaging space, perfectly suited for dogs who thrive with plenty of stimulation and exercise. As the proud owner of a high-energy herding dog, I have firsthand experience in meeting the needs of active breeds. Our daily life is built around structured enrichment and ample physical activity, from puzzle games and training sessions to long, adventurous walks and play. Your dog won't just be staying with me—they’ll be joining a fun, dynamic routine that keeps their body and mind happily engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are paramount. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proofed home to ensure a stress-free environment. With a resident expert in canine energy, I am exceptionally attentive to reading play styles and ensuring all interactions are positive and supervised. If your dog loves to play and learn, they will fit right into our active and loving household.
“Milka is an amazing sitter, she took great care of our dog while we were away and made us feel connected to our dog through photos and updates even when we were away. Would highly recommend!”
“Brooke was great with Noodles, I'm pretty sure Noodles had her wrapped around her tail... lol ?. Brooke stayed over night to ensure Noodles had company and didn't get anxiety. She cleaned up after herself and Noodles ?. We will definitely be booking Brooke for future stays with Noodles.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other pets since I was 9 years old, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I also have experience working at a pet hotel, which helped me develop even more skills in pet care and handling. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your availability. Just send me a message with the days you need care for your pet, and we can go over the next steps together! 😊 I organize my week around the pets I’m caring for and always prioritize the needs and preferences of their owners. I also like to learn each pet’s daily routine so I can follow it as closely as possible this helps ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own giving them lots of love, attention, and comfort. They’re with me throughout the day, and most even sleep by my side at night. I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Linnville 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 Linnville 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 Linnville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
