“Brittany housesat for our golden retriever, and she was wonderful! Excellent communication and photos daily while we were away! She also took great care of the house, and we came home to a happy pup!”
“Emily was fantastic! She was communicative and sent photos of my dog while I was away. My dog can be a little particular about whom she decides to like, but within minutes of meeting Emily, she had gone over and sat next to her for pats. Emily left the house neat and clean, too. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and will do so again!”
“Matthew checked in several times during the time I was away, a few times everyday, to communicate the well-being of my dogs. I received pictures and videos. I am pretty happy with the way the house was left.”
“Hannah was excellent — our first time booking with her and we'll definitely be back. She was on time every visit and stuck to our schedule exactly as agreed. We have 3 dogs with meds and supplements to manage, and she handled all of it without a single mix-up. She sent tons of photos and kept us updated throughout, so we always knew how things were going. She also left our place spotless, which was a huge relief coming home from vacation. Our dogs loved her, and we felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Patricia is our #1 Rover because of the way our nervous dogs come out of their shells with her. She sends pictures of them all piled on the bed together with her - that's how we know that they feel comfortable and safe, and that means the world to us when we're away. She also makes the extra effort to make sure the house is clean and tidy when we come home (we clean before we leave but I swear it looks better when we come back), and that's just an added bonus.”
“Nicole was fantastic! It was our first vacation in a long time where we didn’t return to sick dogs or accidents in the house. She is easy to communicate with and we will absolutely use her again.”
“Claire’s calm demeanor was perfect for our anxious 9 year old rescue. She left our home clean and respected our specific wishes for our dog’s care. We will be using her again!”
“Brooklyn was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away, and it was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well-loved the entire time. She kept the house tidy, sent us regular photo updates, and even went above and beyond by picking up some dog food and offering to help with things like taking out the trash. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. We highly recommend Brooklyn and would definitely book her again!”
“I was impressed that Melisa was able to get my shy cat to come out every time and to play with him. She updated me with pictures and let me know how he is doing. My cat was well taken care of while I was away.”
“Gayle was a delight and we highly recommend her! From the time I reached out through the end of her sitting stay she was reliable, communicative, and kind. Our two dogs (both 11 year old males) connected with and liked her right away. She gave them lots of love and good care, and was respectful of our home. Thank you so much, Gayle!”
“Mariah was great to have, we had her watching our dog for 2 weeks, she was great at communicating with us and we never had to worry about our dog. We knew he was in great hands!”
“Zoe was able to watch Ardbeg for a weekend getaway - jumping in on very short notice. She took fantastic care of Ardbeg and kept us updated with lots of cute photos. We can tell that he had a fabulous time!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since middle school, beginning with regularly watching my neighbor’s six cats. Since then, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, and other household pets. I grew up with many animals of my own and currently have a cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m naturally comfortable with them. I genuinely love giving pets the attention, affection, playtime, and care I would want for my own. I work full-time while also studying for the GMAT as I prepare to pursue my MBA. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I’m happy to spend my mornings, evenings, nights, and available time providing plenty of companionship, attention, playtime, walks, and care. Depending on location and my schedule, I may also be able to check in during the day. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine, how long they’re comfortable being alone, and any specific needs before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit for them. I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and will treat your space as carefully as I would my own. I grew up in a household with clear rules and expectations, so respecting boundaries and house rules comes naturally to me. I’m responsible, polite, and conscientious about keeping things clean and tidy. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your privacy and belongings, and make sure both your home and pets are well cared for while you’re away.

Nayla was professional, kind, and thoughtful about how we wanted our sweet older cat’s experience to go while she stayed at our house for this past long weekend. Our cat was so happy and not stressed when we got home, which was such peace of mind for us and him! We will definitely book her for our next trip.

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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead 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.
