“Xena was great! We just moved into town and she made it so easy and stress free to know our fur kiddo was well taken care of when going out of town. She was forgiving of the chaos of our house due to the unpacking and was able to support Levi as a senior. Will be booking again when we need a dog sitter!”
“We had such a great experience with Jade! She stayed at our home with Fig while we were away and took such wonderful care of him. She was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy pup and our house just as we left it. We would absolutely have her watch Fig again and highly recommend her!”
“Riku loves his walks with Aaliyah and I loved the regular updates I got throughout the weekend. She handled him well when he got nippy and followed all the instructions I gave. She’s wonderful!”
“Eileen has been doing drop-in visits with our puppy for a few months now and the care she has shown him has been wonderful! We rest assured knowing that she is dropping in to look after him and he absolutely loves her visits. Recently we had to go out of town and Eileen house sat our dog for about a week. Not only did she provide excellent care, she left the house cleaner than it's ever been! Whether it's for drop-in visits or house sitting with your pups, we highly recommend Eileen.”

About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.
About: I love dogs, cats and other fur-babies that enrich our lives with so much joy and love! I am an educator and mother of three college-aged kids, one labradoodle, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other fur-babies. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on pet sitting and house-sitting during weekdays, evenings and weekends. I am available on some holidays. I do this because I love animals and the cash flow helps pay for college for my kids. I am available for care in your home where your fur-baby is most comfortable! Establishing good trust for loving care and safety is my priority.
“Julianne stayed with our two high maintenance (emotionally not medically) cats while we were away. Our one cat behaves like a dog and was her companion the whole time judging by the pictures and updates :) Came home to super well adjusted and happy cats… as if we never left.. which was exactly what we wanted! Would highly recommend!”
“Danny did a great job caring for my little pack. He has a kind and calm demeanor and was especially patient with my special needs cat. My dogs loved him and I know he gave them lots of love and attention while I was away.”
“This was my dogs first experience with Zach. My dog cried when he realized Zach had left! Zach was on time, very attentive to all he was asked to do for a needy greyhound and a lively macaw. I received regular updates and pictures. Zach was great and I will have him again! Thank you Zach!”
“I was out of town for 10 days I believe she did a great job with my dog except I came home my brand new coach bag was chewed up by the dog my dog cage was messed up the hinges are bent and twisted my furniture was scratched she put my plant outside and fried it 😢 I am not sure why she put my plant there its a house plant. I was very clear that the puppy should be caged and watched if not bc she is a chewer. I came back disappointed and now not only I have to replace a brand new bag and the dog cage and my planr. Im not sure what to say i don't understand happened she didnt let me know i just got home to discover it. I dont know what to do about the damaged stuff. She wasn't terrible but with these things I think id look for someone else.”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid, and as soon as I was able to, started walking dogs in my neighborhood in middle school. My family ended up owning 4 dogs at one point and I’ve been one of their primary caregivers for the past 10 years! Between jobs at the moment, so I’m available any night for dog-sitting. I’m also able to pop in to walk dogs throughout the day, as my days are mostly free. I can prepare food, get fresh water, give medications, brush teeth if needed. Happy to follow any particular instructions needed for your pet to keep them happy, calm, and healthy!

“Belinda was an amazing sitter for our Ralphie! I knew from her initial responsiveness and kindness and her superlative reviews on Rover that Ralphie would be in great hands. Belinda really does check all the boxes. She is a wonderful communicator, sharing updates at a perfect frequency. I appreciated all the photos and videos capturing great interactions between her and Ralphie. In addition, Belinda left the house spotless, laundered the towels that she used, and washed Ralph's plates before leaving. It was an easy, pleasant, and stress-free experience that I hope to be able to repeat in the near future. Thank you sincerely, Bel!”
About: I grew up with Rottweilers and started helping my dad care for our family dog from a young age, including as he got older. I also have a two-year-old dog of my own, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. Altogether, I have around six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I recently moved from Sweden to Bethesda and currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving your dog the attention they need. I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s normal routine, whether that means long walks and lots of exercise, shorter walks, playing with their favorite toys, or just keeping them company and giving them plenty of cuddles. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and house rules so your dog can feel as comfortable as possible. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs. My wife always jokes that dogs seem to come say hello to me before they greet her. If there’s a dog at a party, that’s usually where you’ll find me! I recently moved to Bethesda from Sweden and have a very flexible schedule as I’m settling into my new life here. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and different routines throughout the day. I live in an apartment in Bethesda and have plenty of great areas nearby for both long and short walks. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m happy to follow your usual routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any house rules you have. I’ll also make sure you receive regular updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.
“Trisha was great! Very attentive and loving towards sweet Barley ? before, during, and after her weekend stay in our home. We got lots of pictures and videos of Barley having fun and loving life. Will definitely book Trisha again.”
“Gabby was wonderful! Our dog is an easy-going guy in our apartment but has a lot of anxiety around strangers and new things. Gabby was patient and attentive with him, extremely communicative, and respectful of our house. She went above and beyond to give our dog plenty of walks and love while we were gone. Highly recommend Gabby to care for your pet while you're away! :)”

Toni spent three days in our apartment with our aging cavachon and it was a great success. Our dog is usually standoffish with strangers but she was very comfortable with Toni, who sent us photos and texts on how things were going, including daily medications. I would enthusiastically recommend Toni.
Juliette did a wonderful job caring for Phoebe and Addy. She is great at communicating, sent lots of pictures, and adapted to our care schedule with enthusiasm. Her extensive pet care experience set our minds at ease, we knew she could handle anything that may arise. Trustworthy, kind, passionate about animals, Juliette is our dream dog sitter!
Everything was perfect start to finish. Good communication with our booking request. Sabria took the time to meet our dog Mandy and get to know the lay of the land. Reached out often while we were away to check in and send photos. Clearly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Our dog has a few issues on both behavior and medical fronts. Zero issues on her watch. We’re super relieved to have Sabria in our midst.
Leidy was great! She was responsive and helped us out several weekends in a row. She sent cute pictures and updated us each day. We could tell how comfortable our dog and kitty were with her. It's so nice to know our pets were in such good hands! We'll definitely contact Leidy for petsitting again.
Alexander did a great job while catsitting and housesitting! He was appropriately communicative -- not too much, not too little -- and my cat looked very relaxed and at ease in all of the photos he sent. I appreciated that he asked appropriate questions during our meet and greet, helping me to fill in details of my cat's care and where to find things in the house that I might have otherwise forgotten to mention. I returned home to a tidy place and a happy cat!
Vitali B is the best Pet & Home Sitter we have ever hired. He's responsible, trustworthy, and our pets love having him around. How do we know this? When we return they are unphased by our presence. I think they actually miss Vitali! We are very lucky to find Vitali. You will be too. Send him an email. He is communicative and reliable. You're pets are in good hands w Vitali. And so is your home.
Ashira is just wonderful. My 13 year old blind dog isn’t always keen on new people - but the moment Ashira walked in the door, Tracker went right to her! Tracker has special needs with respect to walking and medication and Ashira handled that all perfectly. Tracker was happy and so well cared for it has really eased our mind about going away and we will be booking with Ashira again! Also, my house was cleaner than when I left it!
Allison is the perfect dog sitter! She was wonderful and kind with our dog Blaze, taking him for long walks and taking very good care for him, while also being excellent with communication and looking after our house perfectly. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her. Thanks so much!
Pam took very good care of our two cats. Unfortunately our rambunctiou 10-month old kitten injured his leg (not her fault) shortly after we left for two weeks and she ended up taking him to the vet twice, administering his meds, and looking after him while he was confined to one room on vet's orders to help him heal. Through it all she was very caring and concerned and kept us fully informed on what was going on. Knowing she had trained as a vet tech reassured us that the cats were in good hands and let us enjoy the rest of our vacation.
DJ is AMAZING!!! We have two French bulldogs. One can be a bit feisty DJ knows and understands dogs so well that he warmed up to her almost immediately. She took care of our dogs for a week and we came home to new and improved dogs - they are better behaved, not barking as much, being much better behaved on walks and overall the dogs seem happier. We are SO lucky that we found DJ - she is truly the BEST dog sitter/home sitter you will find. She goes way above and beyond!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 Lone Oak 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 Lone Oak 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 Lone Oak 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.
