“Maryn provided exceptional dog/house sitting services. She made sure my dog was attended to as requested, provided walks, kept the house tidy, and provided me with regular updates on my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the process seamless and worry free.”
“Haley was fantastic! She took great care of our two big dogs while we were out of town. She sent us pictures to keep us updated and it was clear that the boys loved her company in our absence. We didn’t have to worry about them at all while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future!”
“Imani was awesome! She took care of my pet and was very professional. I would highly recommend her as someone who can take care of your fur babies. Thank you for all the awesome work, Imani!”
“Julia stayed at our house with our dog while we were out of town! She was great, would recommend & would have her house sit for us again! She sent photos, communicated promptly & left our home just the way she found it. We appreciate you Julia!”
“I can’t say enough about Susannah! This was the first time we’d left our 9 week old puppy and she made it so easy on us. Sent regular updates and the best pictures. Our puppy loves Susannah and we will have her back as much as we can!”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing with our pups!! She sent update pictures all the time as the dogs looked like they were having a blast! We have already re-booked her to watch them again :)”
“Jennifer’s pet and house sitting service was great. She communicated very well, both before and during her stay. She provided both photos and updates each day. Would definitely book her again.”
“Kayla was a phenomena sitter!! We needed a sitter for our dog a little last minute and I am thrilled we found Kayla. Kayla was very responsive and communicated well. She sent us updates on our dog throughout the weekend and our home was exactly as we had left it. Even our next door neighbor complimented on her friendliness! I would highly recommend Kayla as a sitter and will definitely reach out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“I'm so glad to have found Mirette to housesit for my two dogs! It makes me feel better knowing that I have someone I can trust with my home and my fur babies. I've used Mirette several times now and highly recommend her.”
“We loved having Clove stay with our pup! It’s such a relief to have a sitter who understands and works with animals so well. I’d recommend Clove to anyone and we can’t wait to book him again.”
“Jenni was outstanding! She was great to communicate with, went above and beyond in taking care of the house, and most importantly, the animals really felt safe with her. We will absolutely be requesting her services again.”
“We loved Emma! She did great with our toy poodle and cats. She sent pictures daily and was always available when I called or texted. She is so sweet and I hope to always use her when we travel. She is the best!”
“Samantha was the ideal pet sitter for our 2 dogs! Great communication from start and finish and kept us in the loop about the dogs while we were gone. Would highly recommend for anyone needing reliable pet support”
“Conner was a great sitter. He took good care of our "Piper". He had to deal with Piper's anxiety and resource guarding issues, so big kiddos for that. Conner also communicated well while we were out of town. We would definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, from Labs and small Cavachons to active Border Collies. As a primary caregiver and experienced dogsitter, I’m comfortable feeding, walking, letting dogs out, administering medications, and staying overnight in clients’ homes. I’m willing to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family are away. My schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week to stop by, let dogs out, go for walks, feed them, and spend quality time with them. I’m also comfortable staying overnight in your home when needed. I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for both your dog and your home. When I’m caring for a dog, I follow the owner’s instructions and try keeping their normal routine. I’m affectionate and playful with dogs, but I also pay attention to their personality, boundaries, and comfort level. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just hang out on the couch, I’m there. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your dog is being cared for by someone who wants the best for them.
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and proud dog parents to our pup, Gus! We’ve both grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. We’re comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing the care and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and well cared for. We both work full time and have different wfh days during the week, along with flexibility! I work 10 minutes from our home, so going home during lunch is very easy! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and take dogs on daily walks. Crate-trained dogs are preferred, and we’re happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions. Pets are welcome on our furniture and treated like part of the family. Our dog, Gus, is a friendly companion and loves having a playmate! We’ll do whatever we can to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and feeling right at home while you’re away.
“Izzy took great care of our dogs while we were out. I would definitely trust her with our babies again! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is nervous to leave their babies alone! Thank you again, Izzy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mission
Lindsey was great! She accepted my last-minute booking request and also agreed to change her availability to make the next weekend work as well. She came to meet my dogs and get instructions before her stay, and her communication before and during her stays was outstanding! We very much appreciated the updates and photos too. When we returned after both trips, our dogs were happy and our house looked just as we left it.
They took great care of our cats, one of which needed a daily pill. (No small task.) They took it on without hesitation and did a wonderful job. Beautiful pictures, too! We really love having them and appreciate the opportunity for a worry free vacation so much.
Ava was amazing! I have a dog who is anxious and reactive and she did great with him. Hank was totally relaxed in the videos and pictures sent. She also took great care of our home. She even washed the sheets and towels so they would be clean for us after getting in from a late flight. Great communication and very sweet to our boys. We would definitely use her again!!
Wendy respected our home and took great care of our puppy, Poppy. As a puppy she's ornery and needs a little extra TLC. Wendy sent photo updates and kept her on a potty schedule. Poppy was a happy girl when we got home. We would use Wendy for a house sit again.
Brooklyn is THE BEST! She watched my Birdie and my home. I know that both were looked after just as they were her own. She's very reliable and a great communicator. Heading toward medical school, you know she is caring and loving. Thank you Brooklyn. I know Birdie can't wait to see you again. Thank you!
Susannah and Oliver were great! I was a little worried about having Oliver the Poodle come with her but my fears were unfounded. He was a perfect gentleman and, by the time he left, my Pippa had a crush! Susannah kept great care of my girl and left the house in perfect shape!
Erin took such great care of our home and family. She sent us regular updates and photos of our three pugs and cat, as well as gave great feedback on their activities while we were away. We are so grateful to Erin and her willingness to stay at our home and take care of our family while we were away and we sure hope we can count on her again in the future!
Michelle was amazing with our 3 cats! She was kind, communicative, and so attentive to our babies. You can absolutely tell how much she cares when she sends her check in summaries, and she got some great pics + videos. Even though there was a crazy storm while we were away, we never had to worry about anything since Michelle was proactive and kept us in the loop. She’s truly a gem!

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 Mission 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 Mission 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 Mission 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.

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.

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.
