About: Hi! I’m KeLeigh, and I’m passionate about providing loving, dependable care for both people and pets. After years of working in caregiving and pet care, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many wonderful animals and building lasting relationships with their families. My two dogs, Abby (a 5-year-old Brittany Spaniel-Lab mix) and Burrow (a 12-year-old Border Collie-Lab mix), are friendly, playful, and love making new friends. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, walks, or simply relaxing together, they help create a welcoming environment for visiting pets. I am dedicated to providing every pet in my care with a safe, loving, and enriching experience—treating them as if they were part of my own family. In addition to pet care, I have been providing professional caregiving services since 2021. Through my work caring for others, I have developed strong skills in patience, attentiveness, reliability, communication, and individualized care. I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and supervision they deserve. For in-home visits, I help pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or extended care, I provide regular updates and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. This service is especially beneficial for pets who experience anxiety in new environments or simply do best staying in the comfort of their own home. As a self-employed professional working from home, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. This allows me to dedicate the time and attention necessary to ensure that each pet receives personalized care and supervision throughout the day. My schedule enables me to cater to the specific needs of your pet, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or providing comfort while you’re away. Being at home allows me to maintain a consistent presence, ensuring your pet feels secure and well-cared for in a safe, nurturing environment. Caring for Pets in Your Home: For in-home visits, we ensure your pet remains comfortable in their familiar surroundings while receiving the same level of care. We follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care requirements. Whether it’s a brief drop-in or an extended stay, we provide consistent updates and communication so you can feel assured your pet is well cared for. This service is ideal for pets who may experience anxiety in new environments or for those who do better in their own home.
“I hired Crystal to take care of my 3 dogs so I could finally take my daughter on vacation. It was “trust at first sight” and I knew she would be amazing to my 3 weirdo doggies! She took great care of them and I didn’t have a panic attack once thinking my dogs were not getting the attention they needed. They got all the attention and love they needed. When I came back home, my house was clean and my dogs were happy! They missed me, but they were not stressed at all. If you need someone that you can fully trust to take amazing care of your dogs and home, then Crystal is the person for you! I can’t begin to put into words how much I appreciate her. I absolutely adore her and so do my dogs! She is great at communicating. She is just wonderful human being!”
“Graham was AWESOME! I have a senior dog, who has a special diet, meds, needs... Graham came twice before his actual stay to get to know Parker and get familiar with his needs and my home. I have a person who rents a room from me and she said Graham was very patient with Parker. I got regular photos. And when I came home Parker looked great and so did my home. My main concern was that he kept up with his meds and that my dog was safe. I would definitely recommend Graham.”

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had a major soft spot for animals big and small. I am the designated pet sitter for all of my friends and family, and have experience with everything from hamsters to newfoundlands. I’ve taken care of senior dogs, puppies, and am able to administer medications if necessary. As a dog owner myself, I understand the pressure of finding a good sitter and I would love to give you peace of mind! I am currently working events part time, and I pick my own schedule, so I have most days available for around the clock care. If I do leave the house it is generally only for short periods for appointments or quick outings. I am very present for the animals I care for and will spend time with them as well as feeding, walking, and playing with them. I’ve had sitters in the past for my own dogs who only came briefly for feeding and left, so I value quality time and understand they need more than the bare minimum.
“Cat was wonderful! Our pets loved her from the moment she came for the meet and greet. She took great care of them while we were gone and provided daily updates. Cat is very trustworthy, punctual, and we plan on booking her again for the next time we travel. Highly recommend hiring Cat to take care of your fur babies!”
“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”
About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.
About: I've been a petsitter for 5 years, helping family and friends' fur babies while they were out of town. I am experienced with dogs and cats, small and large. I am very energetic and bubbly, but can match any animals personality to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals, I love making new fur friends! I have had pets throughout my whole life. I have three pets of my own that I take care of daily. Two dogs and one cat. I take care of my friends and family's pets when they need help as well. I have two dogs and one cat that I feed, walk, bathe, and play with daily. Regarding clients it depends on their needs, wants and the comfort of their pets.
“Yessica is absolutely amazing with our dogs. She was incredibly kind, reliable and made us feel completely at ease leaving them with her. She kept us updated, took great care of everything and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be booking her again. Highly recommend Yessica to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pets and home!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 10 years! I volunteered at my local shelters, pet-sat for neighbours and friends, and dog-walked for all 4 years of college! I have experience with small and big dogs as well as cats and reptiles! I will love your pet just as much as you do while they are in my care! I'm currently part-time in school, so I am free all afternoon and night! If you need an energetic dog walker, I am your gal! I have lots of experience walking big dogs as well as small dogs. If your dog can walk the distance I can keep up with them! My home is a cat or dog's dream. There is an endless amount of toys and abundant yard space for the doggos. Dogs are allowed to chill on the couch with me and I take them frequently to the dog park nearby to give them some good exercise.
“We will definitely hire Caitlyn again. She handled 4 senior dogs and 1 energetic five year old dog beautifully. The seniors all require medications, one needs insulin injections, so ya, she handled a lot, reported on how they were, walked them. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 14 years old for neighbors, family, etc. I've always had several pups in my home at a time because they're my little babies. All of my dogs have been very well trained and follow directions extremely well! I'm currently a full time student but all my classes are scheduled for Tue/Thurs, and I work part time from home on my off days as a lash tech. I make my own schedule so I have PLENTY of free time to care for your pups! Because I am home all week for the most part I hang out with the dogs all day everyday so no need to worry about your fur baby getting lonely! We'll cuddle and watch tv. Regular potty breaks are taken, my two dogs are on a bathroom schedule, they go first thing in the morning, once or twice in the afternoon, and once before bed. Other pups that I have taken care of seem to catch on to our schedule very quickly and have no problems with it! If there is a time where I do need to leave to go do a grocery pick up or anything like that I let the dogs sleep on the couch while I'm gone, but I do have a crate present just in case I do need to put the pup up if they don't do well being left out of the crate with no supervision.
“Brigette was WONDERFUL housesitting our older dog, Floyd. He takes three medications at different times, is heat sensitive, and needs to go out frequently. Brigette handled it all masterfully in the middle of a heatwave! While Floyd was happy to see us when we got home, it was clear he was well taken care of!”
About: I’m an animal communicator with a deep, intuitive connection to animals — I don’t just care for your pets, I actually listen to them. I’ve spent my life alongside dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and needs, including my own two girls, Daisy and Chloe. I understand animal behavior, body language, and emotional wellbeing on a level that goes beyond feeding and walks. Senior pets, anxious dogs, and strong-willed characters are my specialty. Your fur family will be safe, seen, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full time through mid-September, making this a great time to book! After that I take on seasonal evening work Thursday through Sunday, so I’m still available for daytime care and drop-ins year round. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so you can plan with confidence. My home is warm, relaxed, and animal-friendly with a fenced yard. We did hospice for a number of dogs and cats from 2014 to 2025, so we installed Life Proof floors and have furniture to accommodate the older ones. My two dogs, Daisy and Chloe, are social, dog-park regulars who welcome new friends easily. I have crates available for large dogs if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,279 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Martins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Martins 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 Martins 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 Martins 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Martins. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
