“Emily is an amazing human, & she took care of Sierra & our home with great care. Sierra warmed up to her immediately, & got to snuggle & hang out on the patio with her all weekend. Emily has a gentle, kind energy, and is definitely a pet whisperer. She is always welcome in our home, & we will invite her back any time we travel again. Thank you Emily! 💙”
“Natalee was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time ever using Rover or any similar service, and she completely put all of our worries and concerns at ease. From the very beginning, her professionalism, communication, and genuine care stood out. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Wini was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our girl while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates, which we truly appreciated. Wini genuinely cares about the pets she watches. Our girl was happy, loved, and so well cared for. We are beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend Wini to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Meredith was available on late notice to watch our particular pup and it went fantastic! She is a great communicator and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home. Meredith sent photos and updates while we were away, and gave a great summary (meds given, food ate and last potty break) before she left. Our 4 yo anxious dog loved her and we would absolutely hire her again. Thanks Meredith!”
“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
“Jocelyn took amazing care of my two indoor cats. One elderly boy that can be a bit anxious but even he warmed up to her quickly. She gave informative daily updates and was willing to answer all my questions about how the cats were doing. I could tell she was loving, patient and attentive to them. She took great care of my house as well - I could hardly tell she was here! Will definitely be rebooking with her and can highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly believe pets are part of the family! Growing up, I regularly pet sat and walked dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve also cared for cats and understand that they each have their own routines, personalities, and comfort levels. While in college, I worked as a Wag! walker and absolutely loved getting to know different dogs and their individual personalities. I now have a Mini Schnauzer of my own who is very much part of the family. I’ve also traveled with dogs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m friendly, active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, your cat prefers some quiet company and attention, or your pet just needs someone to keep their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so walks and playtime fit naturally into my day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention. I know consistency is important for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised play and potty breaks, as well as a friendly Mini Schnauzer of our own. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them the space or attention they need. We also have a basement area that can be completely blocked off if your pet prefers their own quiet space or needs some time away from our dog. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Katherine came through in the clutch for my dogs after my previous sitter had to cancel last minute. She was great with my dogs and sent pictures to me each day so I could see that they were having a blast with her. I would use her services again.”
“First time booking Audrey for house sitting (have booked previously for drop in visits) and I am very happy when I come home to two happy cats and a clean home. Thank you Audrey :)”
About: I am a pet owner having raised dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, hamsters, cattle, etc. I am currently a pre-vet student in Spokane. Looking for a fun side job to pay for college. I’m currently a full time college student. I am always available for weekends, early mornings and evening on weekdays. I enjoy going on walks and would love to take your dog or cat with me for some exercise. I enjoy playing and interacting with animals. I am really tidy when it comes to accidents and cleaning out litter boxes. I have a car if there is an emergency that requires medical attention.
“Angee is so good with my pup and her communication and photos and all are most assuring when I’m gone! I feel fortunate to have found her and will definitely ask her back time and again!”
“Ellie was great with our dogs while we are gone on vacation. She was able to handle all three of our dogs no problem and gave us updates daily so we could be at ease knowing they were in good hands the whole time. We would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for help and will definitely ask for her help with our pups next time we are out of town. Thanks for all your help Ellie”
“Ava recently stayed with our boys and we/they couldn’t have been happier. She was very responsive and did an excellent job making sure they both felt taken care of. Will definitely reach out to her again next time we need someone to stay with them.”
“Nazeerah and Nick treated my dogs like their own. We got pictures of smiles and tail wags and came home to some very happy girls! They took very good care of our home and our dogs and we already booked them for our next trip, and will continue to do so in the future! I will recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a sitter, 10/10 rating :)”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 5 years and have been lucky enough to build lasting relationships with many wonderful families and their furry companions. Several of my clients have trusted me time and time again for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care, and there's no greater compliment than having someone ask you back. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I always take the time to get to know them, so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I'll treat your pet like the unique individual they are and make sure you stay connected with regular updates and plenty of photos while you're away. I'm currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 7:00am-3:30pm. I will adjust my schedule of personal events/activities during the times I may watch your pets on the weekends, that way they get my full attention and have someone to lean on. Since I work 8-hour shifts, I try my best to give your pet everything they need early morning and then after work I'm all theirs :). Typically, I am known for house sitting and staying overnight with your pets as it is a better, more comfortable and familiar environment for them.

Natalee is one of the best dog sitters in the Spokane area! My husband and I have tried many folks, but she continues to be our favorite - she does a great job in communicating and spending time with our pups while we are away. We will be booking with her in the future!
Bliss is very responsive to any messages and texts. She cared for my dog and cat for almost three weeks and I came home to a clean house with laundry and dishes clean and garbage and recycling taken care of. Pets were all in good shape and I would definitely use Bliss again for pet sitting in my home.
Nervous dog mom here! Leaving our dogs for 10 days and being halfway across the globe was initially terrifying for me, but Lauren quickly eased that worry after sending some pics and updates of the pups. In the photos, it appears that they had disowned me and claimed Lauren as their new best friend. Her communication is incredible and we almost had a scare with a nearby wildfire but Lauren was so calm and prepared an action plan before I even had a chance to reach out. We were gone for 10 days and the house was just as clean as it was when we left it; she even washed her sheets and towels. There is no one on this app more qualified to care for your pets than Lauren. Thank you, Lauren!!!!
Abigail is amazing! I have an easy but not-so-easy senior dog dealing with doggy dementia and Abby took care of my baby with such genuine care. Just the week prior to my trip I was so full of anxiety leaving my girl, but Abby did a phenomenal job keeping me up to date with her and easing any anxiety I had. I had a great trip, and London had a wonderful time with her new friend.

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.
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 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 , 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.
