“Destiny cat sat our cat while we were out of town for 10 days. She came over daily to feed our cat, play with her, and keep her company. She left our home spotless and even washed the cat bowl and swept up the cat litter that our cat kicks out of her litter box before our return. She also send us videos and pictures regularly so our minds were put to ease that our cat was taken care of back home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable and responsible to come over to petsit their fur baby.”
About: I have several years of experience working in veterinary clinics, as well as having my own fur babies that I look after. To me, our pets are like children and I love every animal that I meet. Whether you just need help from time to time with potty breaks, or need someone dependable to look after your babies for an extended period, I can promise that they will be in caring and amazing hands with me. I grew up on a farm, constantly around animals of all shapes and sizes. Nothing at all makes me happier than coming home to wet noses and the happiness my pups exhibit upon seeing me. I have worked as a veterinary technician for 6+ years so I am experienced in caring for animals in the proper way. I truly believe that every single animal deserves to be healthy and happy and I do my best to achieve that. I am currently a Practice Manager at a veterinary clinic. I work 5 days a week, but have time before, during lunch, and after work to assist with pet care. I am adaptable to any kind of care that is needed for your pets. I am very detailed when it comes to following instructions and guidelines you set forth for your pet’s care.
About: My name is Janet! I’m a student at Berry College! I took care of a lot of pets from people at my church when I was younger and and right now I have a little 2yr old dog of my own who I adore so much🤍 I’ve mainly taken care of small dogs but I’ve been around helping take care of medium and a few large dogs! I love animals so much and I hope to be able to give them the best care! I’m a student at Berry college, and I’m not able to have the time to work a part time job or 8 hour shift, if I think something like this can help me earn more money as well as it’s me being around animals, which I love. It can also help give me some time to destress away from college and be around the most adorable pets!! I have been around many pets, mainly dogs but right now is the first time I have a dog, and she is friendly with pets outside of home but I don’t know how she will react to animals coming into her ‘area’ so I would prefer to care at a clients house! Of course, I will follow the rules that the owner sets, whether it’s how many times the pet needs to be fed, its limit on treats, when and where they potty, what time they go on walks, play/nap time, etc, I’ll take care of them as if they were my own <3
About: I have been raised around animals my whole life. I love all kinds of animals and I treat my animals like my babies. I would love to watch your fur babies. I have two kids ages eight and seven that love animals as well. If I stay at your house they will be coming with me. I will have plenty of time to care for animals and give them lots of walks and love ❤️ I work a part time job from 4 pm to 8 pm and should not conflict with taking care of fur babies. I currently have a fenced in yard and we have a good sized home that an animal could stay. I would to host your furbaby.
“Luisa was amazing with our girls. She took them on so many outings and genuinely enjoyed her time with them. She truly loves animals and I am so thankful she loved mine while I was gone! My husband and I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much, Luisa!”
“Destiny was so amazing!!! She waited longer than the booking so Cassidy wouldn’t be alone at home until I could get there. Would highly recommend her to watch your loved pets anytime!!”
“Janelle was an absolute blessing to our family! She took exceptional care of our three rambunctious mini dachshunds, giving us complete peace of mind so we could fully relax and enjoy our 30th anniversary trip to Mexico. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with thoughtful communication and plenty of photos of our fur babies, which meant so much to us. When we returned home, we were amazed to find the house not only spotless but actually cleaner than when we left. She had even organized my disaster of a pantry—something I had been putting off for far too long! Her attention to detail and willingness to help in every way are truly remarkable. And as if that weren't enough, she welcomed us home with a delicious pasta dish and a loaf of homemade bread. That level of thoughtfulness and generosity is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. Janelle went far beyond anything we could have expected. She served our family with such kindness, care, and grace, and was truly the hands and feet of Jesus during a time when we needed it most. We are incredibly grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough. ❤️”

If your dog stays inside at your house it’s inside at mine. I can keep them in a kennel in the living room with my other 2 dogs.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day filled with cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m also experienced with puppies who need extra patience, consistency, and potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication, or additional comfort and care. Every pet is treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love because I believe they deserve nothing less. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands. As a military veteran, reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with consistent, dependable care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I also believe in clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and regular potty breaks while maintaining a clean environment. You’ll also receive updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in trustworthy hands.

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 Livingston 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 Livingston 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 Livingston 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.
