She was prompt for her stay at our house and took wonderful care of our fur baby. She sent a daily update that included a few pictures which really made us feel at ease leaving Maple for the weekend. She was also very flexible when some last minute weather issues changed our plans. We will definitely be asking Bri to come stay again.”

“Emilee is great! She did so well with our two pups. She was quick to respond to my inquiry, came out for a meet and greet, and was happy to meet us again before we left.

I would definitely recommend and will be using Emilee again for sure ?”

I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!!”

I was out of town for almost a week and didn’t have to worry for a second about my dogs - she took them on long walks downtown, took them to swim in her pool, and they absolutely loved her! I swear they were hoping she would walk in the door when I got home instead of me. Highly recommend Cara for all your pet sitting needs. Thanks Cara!!”
“Tabor was a wonderful sitter for my rescue dog Sandy. I only had her for a week before going on vacation. He was more than willing to work with Sandy with being in a new home. He came to meet Sandy and they got along just fine. He worked on lease walking, and many commands. He kept me updated with photos and videos. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house sitter for their fur babies!”

Bri was absolutely amazing with our two girls, Whiskey and Ginger. Super communicative and our girls ADORED her ❤️ We got at least daily updates with pics of the pups and you could just tell how at ease they were with her. Couldn’t imagine a better sitter for them, and will definitely be using Bri again if schedules align the next time we’re in need of sitter. Completely recommend!!!

This is Ben’s third time watching Duncan, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he provides! Ben is incredibly dependable, responsive, and always keeps me updated while I’m away. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Duncan is in good hands. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. I will definitely be using him again!
Riley was awesome! He stayed with Wilson for 5 nights and was very responsive/communicative. He made two extra trips beforehand to go over care needs which we really appreciate. He has great energy with animals and lots of experience with dogs that have specific needs. We look forward to working with him again!
Katie was absolutely amazing. She sent us texts and photos of our dog everyday to keep us updated which we very much appreciated. It was the first time we had left our dog with a dog sitter and she made us feel much more comfortable about the whole process. I would highly recommend Katie!
Paige was an amazing pet sitter for our Stevie! She walked her, played with her in the backyard and kept her company while my husband and I were away for a long weekend. She left our home spotless and sent us update pictures every day. I will absolutely be using her again and can’t recommend her enough!
Carly is a very gentle and kind person who took amazing care of our golden doodle. She kept us updated with photos and even took her for a little outing in the car; I had mentioned my doodle loves car rides. We highly recommend her services, we felt very safe leaving our doodle and home to her for the weekend.
Tristan did a wonderful job taking care of our pets and home. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and it was clear they received lots of attention while we were away. He also followed our care instructions, including looking after our chickens, and everything was in great shape when we returned. We really appreciated the updates and peace of mind. We'd be happy to book with Tristan again and highly recommend him!
It’s obvious that Sophia has spent a lot of time with dogs. We’ve only left our dog with with family but Sophia can’t and has instant rapport with our dog and us. While missing or dog very much we were comfortable that our dog was given great care and lots of an attention. Truly a professional with great communication. I highly recommend Sophia.

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 Mingo 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 Mingo 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 Mingo 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.
