“Amanda took such great care of our dogs and cat. Amanda communicated lots of fun stories about their behavior and sent plenty of pictures. I'm certain my house was cleaner after her stay as well.”
“Jamie is amazing! I have two elderly dogs with special needs and I felt very comfortable leaving them in Jamie’s care. One of my dogs needs insulin twice a day and she came by before sitting for them to make sure she was giving him the medication correctly. She sent updates and pictures throughout the week. We came home to a welcome home banner with pictures! I highly recommend Jaime for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Since I was young I was entrusted with the keys to several of my neighbors homes and took care of dogs, cats, and even fish. I have owned serveral dogs in my lifetime and enjoy taking care of cats as well as other pets! I understand that every pet is different and many have very specific needs, therefore, I am prepared to receive instruction and tailor my care to each pet accordingly to make sure everyone stays happy and healthy. I currently walk dogs and overnight sit for my neighbors and friends but would love to branch out these services for others as well! I currently do not have a full time job, I have an odd job schedule that would always prioritize your pets care above all else. i care for your home as if it is my own!, I am able to water the garden if requested, and i always take the trash out as i leave to assure you come back to a fresh smelling home. doors remain locked when i am not present on the premises, animals will not be left outside unsupervised.
About: I provide loving care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors, with experience in training, special needs, and making every animal feel safe. As a retiree, my days revolve entirely around the animals in my care. They receive my full attention, love, and time—morning to night, every single day. I live in a safe, animal-friendly waterfront neighborhood with very few cars and plenty of space to play. Pets enjoy walks to nearby parks and, for water-loving “babies,” splashing adventures at the bay—all in a calm, welcoming environment where they’re treated like family.

“Faith did a great job taking care of Pear and the house. Pear was well cared for, and everything was in good shape when we returned. I reached out a couple of times for updates, and she responded promptly. Overall, we appreciated her care and would happily consider working with her again!”

“We are so lucky to have found Snowden on Rover! She house sat for 5 nights over Christmas for our senior rescue dog, Maggie, and everything was perfect. Snowden is quick to respond to all communication and Maggie immediately took to her so we knew she was in good hands. Snowden made sure Maggie took her morning meds, took her for walks, and sent us daily pictures. When we got back, Snowden had done laundry, made the bed, washed all the dog dishes and left the house in great shape. We definitely plan to book her again!”
“Clarke was great! Took the best care of my Hazel girl. She gets some separation anxiety, but Clarke was so sweet and attentive that I was able to relax knowing my pup was in good hands.”
About: I grew up with medium sized dogs and took care of my last dog through the paralyzation of her back legs. I have pet sit for cats and dogs in Charleston, SC and in my neighborhood growing up and recently lived with a sweet one year old golden retriever who I helped train. I currently work part time from home so I have open availability day and night, on weekdays and weekends. I am also available for overnights!

“Absolutely! Here’s a warm, genuine Rover review: Ally was absolutely wonderful with our dog Daisy! She took care of her for a long weekend and was so sweet, communicative, and attentive throughout her stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing Daisy was in such great hands. To top it off, all of our fire alarms unexpectedly went off while we were away, and Ally handled the situation so calmly and responsibly. We really appreciated how she kept us informed and took care of everything. We would absolutely recommend Ally and would love to have her watch Daisy again!”
“Michael did a great job housesitting and watching our dog and two cats. He was very communicative and professional and we really loved the pictures he sent. He really spent time letting the cats warm up to him which we loved. And of course our pitbull mix LOVED him. We’d high recommend and hope to become return customers.”
“We had a great experience with Alexxis. Our dogs absolutely loved her — it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was communicative, kind, and made sure to keep us updated with photos. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house, which we really appreciated. It made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”
“Anh took terrific care of our pups. She was responsive, sending daily updates and getting in touch with any questions she had about dog care. I absolutely recommend her for puppy care and will request her for future needs.”
“Absolutely phenomenal dog sitter. Our dogs get separation anxiety easily and they really took to Joshua quickly and he was so great with them. We needed a sitter in a pinch and he not only pulled through for us, but was one of the best pet sitters we have found in the area. Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mayo
Lena and Sheii were great with Rory. He jumped a lot when they first arrived but were patient with him and he settled not long after we left. Lena sent lots of pics and kept me updated while we were gone. They left brought in our mail and packages (even a 34-lb bag of puppy kibble), ran the dishwasher, and kept the house very clean. They went above and beyond with Rory. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again!
Lucille was fantastic!! She kept us informed on their day and the administration of his medications. When she was concerned about something she called us and gave us updates every day. She also took care of the house by removing the trash etc! It was also so obvious that she loves animals. I will definitely book her again!! Thanks Lucille for making my trip so much more enjoyable knowing that my dog was in such good hands!!
My two cats are still adjusting to a recent move and Renea was wonderful despite one of my cats being a total peeing nightmare! Renea was very communicative and sent lots of updates which was super helpful as I was away on a stressful trip. She is very knowledgable and patient if you’re looking for a great sitter she is it!

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 Mayo 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 Mayo 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 Mayo 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.
