This is obviously different for each type of animal. It would also depend on the pet themselves as many animals may have their own personalities and needs.

House Sitting • Sep 20, 2025

This was our first experience with booking on Rover. We chose Holly as she was recommended by friends in our community. Holly is shy, but pleasant. Pluses - the house was in order when returned. Pets not stressed and alive. Minuses - Holly was 1.5 hours late day 1. I received very little communication from Holly. I only received one message from her 1st about the dog. Anything else about the dog only came in response to a text from me. The night before the end date she asked when I needed her to stay until. She didn’t not follow those instructions and left 1.5 hours before I advised was okay to go. We advised not to leave the dog crated more than 4 hours, and one day she left the dog crated 4.5 hours. Her response after the fact was she didn’t intend to. The cats water fountain was almost empty upon return home. There will piles of dog feces in the yard. She was given clear instructions about everything. I’m disappointed this is how our first experience started out. I did request $26.25 to be refunded for the shorted hours. She submitted a request to refund $100 which is unreasonable. I just want back what we were shorted. I hope she learns from this job and advice I’ve provided to her.

Holly watched our dog for a few days at our home. She was excellent with our pup who sometimes is a little grumpy. We were extremely comfortable with her caring for our dog in our house. Holly provided updates and pictures to us while we were away. If we ever need a sitter again Holly will be our first choice.

Holly is grreat! She arrives on time, gives the puppies plenty of playtime and makes sure they are safely in their crate when she leaves.

Holly did great with 2 very active Frenchies. When we arrived home they both seemed very happy and taken care of.

I have been around rowdy dogs before, and dogs that tend to nip in a non-aggressive way. I've never been with an animal that is actively aggressive toward people, but have been around dogs that get antsy over other dogs. If there is a specific way to calm the pet, I would need to know of course. But I'm not trained to deal with extreme cases.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
