“Eva was amazing!! She not only took great care of our pets… Which included a cat that had multiple issues going on but our dogs as well. She cleaned my house spotless probably be better than before we left! She kept me closely involved in what was going on at the house with the animals and sent several great pictures. I would definitely recommend Eva and use her again.”
“Lahra stayed at our house and took great care of our sweet Winnie. She left the house immaculate and Winnie a happy girl. We got daily updates which made us feel at ease and she even walked her. We highly recommend Lahra and have already book several more stays with her.”
About: Hello my name is Andrea. As a future employer you will enjoy my flexible availability, positive disposition and attention to any special needs your pet might have. I have been a caretaker for the past 2 years for an elderly woman that was unable to take care of her pet and so took on the responsibility of caring for the both of them. Through this experience I have seen that pets are an important part of the family and need the same kind of care and affection as any person. Staying active and healthy is important for me and caring for younger pets requires being physically fit. I look forward to meet with you, talk about your pets and see how I can best help taking care of them.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was 8 years old and have experience with both in my own home and in clients’ homes. I’ve provided overnight stays as well as daily drop-in visits, making sure pets are fed, exercised, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and stress-free. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, evenings, and I make communication with pet parents a priority so they always feel confident their pet is well cared for. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in both my home and my clients’ homes. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, medications if needed, and house rules. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, ensure doors and gates are secure, and remove any potential hazards from their environment. I respect my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized, and I provide regular updates with photos so pet parents feel comfortable and informed. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“Ramsey was a wonderful dog sitter! He communicated in a timely manner to set things up and was open to a FaceTime and meeting prior. Ramsey asked great questions about my dog and his habits / routine. From the moment Ramsey arrive to my home. He sent pictures and updates until his departure. I could tell my dog was so happy in his company! As a bonus, my house was immaculately clean when I returned! I would highly recommend Ramsey and look forward to booking him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Meridian
Rachel was an amazing pet sitter. She is reliable and trustworthy and sent regular text updates, photos and videos of my dog playing while I was away. These updates gave me peace of mind and showed my sweet dog being well cared for in my home. I left detailed feeding and medication instructions for my 13 year old girl and Rachel followed everything precisely. She went above and beyond, not just caring for my dog, but cleaned the house and washed all the linens. I came home to a happy dog and a very clean home! I will definitely book again with Rachel and highly recommend her to anyone.

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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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.
