About: Several years of experience raising and training various breeds from energetic aussies to calm and collected toy poodles. Puppies to senior dogs, and plenty of experience getting their energy out. I work full time during the week, but complelty free on the weekends and major holidays. I have full availability for lunch break stops during the week, and more extensive care during the weekend Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I take care to keep pets secure, supervise outdoor time, and remain mindful of potential hazards. I also respect your home and ensure doors and gates are secured before leaving. I believe communication is key, so I’m happy to provide photo updates and keep you informed during visits. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands.
“Britney was the best sitter I could ever ask for! She was on top of any issues that came up acting promptly when my pup wasn’t eating while I was away. She gave me peace of mind while on vacation which was exactly what I needed! Thank you, Britney!!”
About: I am comfortable caring for any dog - no matter the age, breed, disability, or size. I have 3 years of experience at various doggy daycares, and my responsibilities have ranged from watching 1 dog to a group of 60+ dogs; from small dogs to big dogs; from puppies with lots of energy to senior dogs who need specialized care and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I would love to spend my extra time in the day caring for your pup! I would be available in the evenings most days. I have had experience with injuries and other medical needs for dogs. I also have experience with different feeding routines, so no matter how complicated your dog’s meals are, I can figure them out. With my own dog, I typically enjoy a laid-back day full of cuddles, fetch, and playtime. But I can adapt to any dog’s lifestyle!
“Shelby did an incredible job watching both of our pups while we were away. She kept us updated and we were never once worried about being away from Booker & Sassy. She treated our pups like her own, and we returned to happy, relaxed pups. I will absolutely be booking Shelby again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 52 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mayhew. 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 Mayhew 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 Mayhew 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 Mayhew 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.
