“Anna was great. Our older dog was having some bladder issues, and my younger dog vomited on the bed. Anna took it in stride and did the laundry as needed, taking care of everything. She has cared for older dogs before, and dogs with disabilities, so we knew our two were in good hands!”
“Chelsea was amazing! During our meet and greet she asked how often I would like updates which I found very thoughtful, and I got both pictures and videos each update! Chelsea was so kind and even put sheets and towels in the wash before leaving. I’d love to book with Chelsea again!”
“Great at keeping in touch and sending pictures with updates. No worries leaving our girls in his hands!! He did everything we asked him to do. We will request for him again”

About: I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and my first job was walking my neighbor's dogs! Since I am in college I can't have a dog of my own, but I am ready to make fast friends with yours! I am a student and work nights as a server so I have most mornings and afternoons to spend wherever is needed to care for your pet. I also am good at staying the night and making a quality connection with your pets. Although I cannot house your pets in my apartment, I am comfortable staying at your house and taking them to a local park. I will give your pets detailed and attentive care, as often as possible.
About: I have many years of experience taking care of a variety of different dog and cat breeds as I grew up traveling all over the world. I have a lot of online classes so only my mornings are decently busy. I don’t currently have another job right now so my afternoons are very open. I am very good at keeping a schedule and making sure they are fed on time, have plenty of fresh water and exercise, and feel comfortable and safe. I make an effort to follow the pets usual routine. I also am very happy to provide regular updates and pictures.

About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around animals all my life. Family and friends have trusted me for all of their pet-sitting needs for years. I currently have two dogs. I’ve dog sat dogs of all ages in my home and in the owners’ homes. Last fall, I witnessed a man dumping two dogs near my home. One of them was pregnant. We were able to raise the puppies and give them and the mom to loving homes. We kept the other dog and now her and the chiweenie that we already owned are best friends. I also have experience with special needs dogs. My chiweenie recently lost his left eye after another dog jumped on him. I've learned to be patient with him as he regains confidence and navigates everyday life with one eye. I am a full-time student at college. I do not have a job but I am looking for a part-time gig to do along with pet care. My classes aren't all day so I would be able to care for pets in the morning and as needed in the later afternoon/night. In the client’s home, I can feed, water, play with and follow whatever specific instructions I’m given. I can walk your dog on a leash and make sure they always have water.
About: I've taken care of dogs, horses, and cattle since I was very little! I am currently in vet school learning how to take care of them even more I am currently in vet school, so my time is unfortunately limited, I would be able to walk and tend to your pet after my class hours! My plan is to be able to tend to your pet at your home! This will allow me to go and walk them around and feed/water them as needed
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of different ages and energy levels, including puppies and senior pets. I can help maintain feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and other routines your pet is used to. I also love spending extra time playing, giving pets plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾💕 I am currently a full-time student with classes from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. I can walk, feed, and care for your pets before and/or after my classes! I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, which allows me to keep your pet in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special instructions before you leave. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕
“Thank you for taking such great care of Coco! Coco became ill right before our trip. Linda gave Coco her medication and special dietary needs to help heal Coco’s gut. We are very appreciative and allowed us to enjoy our trip by knowing Coco was in such capable hands. Our home was well cared for too! Thank you so much. I will totally recommend you to friends and will be rebooking as our travel needs arise.”

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 Loachapoka 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 Loachapoka 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 Loachapoka 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
