“Christina is amazing! When I came home both my dogs were super calm and happy. She also sent me super cute updates of the dogs while I was away. Will definitely keep booking with her!”

About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
“We, and our kittens, love Claudia! She is great with them, gives them tons of attention and playtime, and is diligent about communication and sending photos and videos. I'd recommend her to any pet lover!”
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our little dog Coconut in our home while we went on a week long trip. She left the house in excellent condition, was able to grab our mail, sent a few pictures and updates too so we felt happy knowing Coco was in good hands. We would definitely love to have her sit for Coco again.”
“Crystal took amazing care of my newly adopted dog, Ziggy, and my two cats while I was away. She did such a great job with them, and it was obvious they all loved her. I also really appreciated that when I got delayed getting back into town because of traffic, she came back out again to make sure Ziggy got dinner and could get out since I was going to be home pretty late. That meant a lot and was truly above and beyond. She’s awesome, super dependable, and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Just started using Lindsey. She did a great job keeping me updated, and checking things. asked good questions. cleaned up after herself—dishes, linens and trash. Aki my dog is happy and healthy. All her stuffie “babies” are scattered for her to enjoy. I would definitely use Lindsey again! Darlene”
“Jordan was amazing. She took great care of Tango and sent us updates and pictures throughout the weekend. She was very thorough and asked lots of questions when we met up before to make sure Tango would be well taken care of. We will absolutely be hiring Jordan again!”
“Nicole took amazing care of our two babies while we were out of town. We have two kitties that don’t get along just yet, so they have to be kept separated and switched throughout the day. One of them also requires insulin twice a day. Nicole managed all of their needs while treating them like her own. Her communication was so thorough and very much appreciated. I would leave my babies in Nicole’s care any day and plan to use her in the future. 10/10 recommend!”
About: The holidays are coming up which means family reunions and events. What is better than giving your cats the care they deserve without having them leave the comfort of home? You won’t have to worry with me there to take care of them! I have grown up around cats and started to learn to care for them at a young age. I have 17 years of experience caring for my family’s 3 cats and about 5 of those years made me a pro at administering medicines. I have experience with severely sick cats, including using a feeding tube to administer food, water, and medicines on a strict schedule. I also have experience with administering intravenous fluids and injecting insulin. I am currently working a full time job. I will be available on Friday evenings and full-time on Saturday and Sunday for house sitting. For drop ins, I’m available on weekdays during morning and evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday. I will make sure that I enter and leave your house securely. I will double check all doors are locked and alarms are on before I leave! I will leave your house with no pet mess or accidents. I will make sure everything is taken care of for you so you don't have to worry about your home! I will make sure that all litter bags and garbage will be taken out before I leave. I will also make sure to wash pet food and water bowls before leaving.
“Brandi was so good with our crazy puppy and took beautiful care of our home! We asked whether we could adopt her! Our flight home was late and she was really gracious about it!”
“Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.”
“Zachariah goes above and beyond for our puppies! He asks all the right questions and sent us prompt updates and photos of puppies so we ALWAYS had assurance that our puppies were doing well! He is so kind and courteous, thoughtful and respectful to our furry family and his love of animals is VERY clear! We’ll be depending on Zach for our puppy’s care in the future!!!!”
“Lauren was great with all of our pets and was super responsive and flexible. She also took on other responsibilities outside of pet sitting. We will definitely have her care for our pets in the future.”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Danayt took wonderful care of my dog and house, and I would definitely hire her again! She sent lots of updates about how my dog was doing and was very professional and friendly. She even cleaned up the house before I returned. I highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely amazing house sitters! I can’t sing their praises enough! They were so kind and I knew the house and our 3 little pups would be in great hands! They send daily pictures and checked in to make sure we knew everything was ok, they even left the house in a better state than when we left. The pups were happy and relaxed when we returned and that has never happened! I hope we will be lucky enough for them to be available the next time we are out of town!”

Jennifer is amazing! We needed someone for a dawn til dusk day for our daughter's wedding, and she was there to make sure our dogs were fed, pottied, and snuggled. They clearly adored her and we were so comfortable knowing they were cared for while we were gone...we will definitely request her again!

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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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.
