“Rachel was amazing for her first stay with Oscar (dog) & Mimi (cat). Excellent, consistent communication and very caring service for my babies. Oscar is a shy little boy, and she took lots of time allowing him to feel comfortable and showed great patience and understanding. Left the house clean and well cared for, I would welcome her back anytime to care for my pets!”
“Jenna is awesome and very professional! Great communication, above and beyond in general and my pets loved her. They were relaxed when we got home from our 4 day long trip. 10/10 recommend!!”
About: Hi, welcome! My name is Grace and I would be honored to care for your beloved pet while you are away! I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Most notably, I’ve been a consistent caretaker for two energetic black labs for the past 8 years. I’ve also cared for fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. If you think I’d be a good fit for your furry (or scaly!) family please reach out! Since I have a full time job, I’m able to provide care anytime in the evenings and on weekends, and if your pet is able to do longer stretches alone in the home I would be a great fit for you! I work 7:30-4 Monday-Friday in Urbandale (if you’re close to that area I am more than willing to spend my lunch breaks with your pet). Once I’m back from work for the day I am ready to play! Coming home to an animal friend is one of the best feelings, and I want to give your pet all the love possible! I feel very comfortable being away from home. I love getting to help families keep their animal loved ones in a place they are familiar with. Whether you have a fenced in yard or no yard at all, I always get play time in every day. I love watching pets’ personalities blossom in their own space.
“Sophia was great! She stayed with Tiffany while we Al were out of town for the holidays and when we got home Tiffany was so happy and calm. I’m always nervous leaving our senior girl with anyone, but Sophia sent us updates and pictures and made sure everything went smoothly.”
“Yasmin took such good care of my elderly special needs Frenchie! She was very attentive in monitoring his breathing. Contacted the vet with any breathing concerns. Took him to acupuncture and fed him in his Baileys chair. She sent tons of pics and videos. Also took care of my Boston who demands just as much attention. Both my boys loved her. It was such relief having her take such good care of them while I was out of town.”
“We've adopted Allison as ours! We appreciate her greatly and Sadie about pushes her over with 'love leans' when she shows up for a dog/house sitting stint. Allison is a great communicator, reliable, and we trust her to stay in our home and to care for our 100 lb. fur ball. We've already got Allison pre-reserved for our next two needs. We highly recommend Allison if you are looking for someone to care for your 4 legged family member.”
“Meg is simply the best! This was her second time staying at our house with Benji, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s so kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. Benji absolutely lights up when he sees her. She kept us updated with photos and check-ins, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. We came home to a happy pup, a tidy house, and zero stress. It honestly feels like leaving Benji with family. Meg, thank you for loving on our boy and taking such great care of him (and our home!). We’re so grateful for you and can’t wait to have you back!”
About: I used to walk a Yellow Lab when her owner broke her arm. I have volunteered at the ARL and was in the "walking the pavement" program. I am currently looking for a PT job so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I love walking dogs and playing catch with them My cat is very friendly and loves everyone! She makes friends with other animals easily. She was best friends with my Boxer until her passing. I live in a Condo so I don't have a private backyard but am willing to stay in your home
“Meghan was amazing with our boy. Followed instructions very well and made our baby so happy! Worked with us on a missed connecting flight, I appreciate her so much! Will be booking again next time we travel!”
“Jocelyn took such good care of our fur babies and we got so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely entrust her with our fur babies again. Would recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Nancy is fabulous! Our little Buster took to her like she was family! She took such good care of him while we were gone for a long weekend. So thankful for her and felt grateful to have someone as loving and caring as her to stay with our little 3 month old Shih Tzu.”
“Brianna was great with my dog. She responded quickly, sent me photos, and did everything I asked. She made it easy for me to relax while I was away from my home and my dog because I knew he was well taken care of.”
“Madison was great with my dog and house. Very responsive. Good communication and did me a favor unrelated to petsitting. Would gladly have her pet sit again. Thanks, Madison!!!”
“Kenrda was fantastic! She offered to come by and meet the pups a few days before the booking to make sure all things were comfortable. We really appreciated that so the pups could meet her and we could get a feel for how they were with her and for my wife and I to meet her as well. When she was here she paid close attention to feeding instructions and other details etc. and took notes. Kendra is very professional, kind, a relaxed vibe, on-time and great with the pups. She sent us updates on potty breaks, food intake and pictures when the pups were chilling out, with great response times anytime we reached out to her to check in. We could not tell someone was at our house when we returned. We appreciated her being very clean and respectful of our home and of course our pups. Will will re-book with her again for sure. Thanks Kendra :-)”
“I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

Another wonderful experience with Rachel and Leigh. I was provided with ongoing communication, not only with updates about the pets, but with some seriously cute photos and stories about them as well! Being away from my cat and dog is always hard… But knowing that they are in the best hands ever makes it easier. I have recommended Rachel and Leigh to many people and will continue to do so.
Shaylen was so amazing. It was our first time booking through an in-home pet sitter and we couldn’t have asked for someone better. She sent us daily updates on the pets, took the time to get to know them before we actually left them in her care, and our house and pets were in great hands. Thank you Shay!
Angela did such a great job watching my three pups over the Fourth of July weekend! My weimareiner has anxiety, and Angela pulled out all the tricks to keep her calm with picture updates. She was also kind enough to bring our packages in, (they weren’t small..) and she cleaned up the house before our arrival back. Her attention to detail in the home, communication skills, and seeing how my three pups warmed up to her are all the reasons we would recommend her to anyone else. We will definitely be booking with Angela in the future!
Nadine was great! She stayed with our dogs while we were away and made sure they felt comfortable. She sent updates every couple of hours, including pictures, so we could see how relaxed and happy they were. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!
Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨

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 Lovington 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 Lovington 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 Lovington 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.
