About: Growing up I always had dogs and would constantly watch dogs 101 and vet shows. I learned their language to better connect with them especially if they have anxiety. Right now I am raising 3 cats and caring for my elderly dog who has seizures so I know how to handle a situation when it come to it along with schedule medications. My dog also only chooses me to cuddle with during thunderstorms so if your pup has a fear of storms while you're gone you can rest assure I'm making them feel as safe as possible. I have pretty big gaps between my day schedule, between school and work. I have time for morning, afternoon and night visits. I usually get out of work 830 the latest so medication will be able to be given before too late in the night In the client's home I would normally make sure I can see their pet at all times to guarantee no accidents happen on my watch. I also depending on the breed and personality of the dog will walk them or give them enrichment more often as needed.
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Roxi! She took such incredible care of our furbabies and our flock while we were out of town. Knowing they were in her hands gave us such peace of mind. Roxi cared for our animals and our home as if they were her very own. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, safe, loved, and well cared for. It’s such a special feeling to find someone you can completely trust with the things that mean the most to you. Roxi is truly a wonderful soul, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We came home to happy babies and a well-cared-for home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using Roxi again for our next out-of-town trip and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. ❤️🐾🐔”

I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, walks, feeding, or extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide loving and reliable care. ❤️🐶 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and now that my child has started pre-K, I have plenty of time during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for daytime drop-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and boarding. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I’m also able to keep pets separated when needed and can crate your dog if requested. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care instructions carefully, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8! Raising 2 family dogs and a 2 year old of my own, it never stops!! I work from home majority of the week. My only required office day is Monday along with occasionally working Saturday mornings from home! The rest of my time is spent hangout out with my 2yr old German Shep!! I make sure everything your animal needs is taken care of! Biggest thing I love doing is going on long walks and taking my dog to the local dog park. If your dog play fetch or tug-uh-war, I’ve got the right tools!!
About: I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up around all kinds of dogs and cats, including Rhodesian Ridgebacks, small dogs, and everything in between. I have a German Shepherd named Kenya, plus cats and kittens, so taking care of animals is something I’m used to. My schedule is pretty open, so I have some flexibility with availability. I’m not the type to rush in and out. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my German Shepherd, Kenya, along with my cats and kittens, so I’m used to daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning, and giving each animal plenty of attention. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.I keep up with their usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest schedule while giving them plenty of attention along the way. I also pay attention to the little things—how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what they’re used to at home. Most importantly, I respect the pet parent’s instructions and treat every animal as an individual.
“Josue watched our golden for almost three weeks. He communicated and sent videos on a regular basis. I never worried that Stella wasn’t given the attention that she demands/is used to. Josue is very caring, transparent and he also helped with little things around the house like watering plants. He is willing and able to help in any way and has the energy to deal with our energetic fun loving golden. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve always had let’s since I was younger. I love to take care of pets and see how we can help them be active or maybe just sit at home. I currently don’t have a job and stay at home. So it’s a full time job for me. Looking to have someone care for daily or one time I follow instructions given by the owner and can contact in case of any rare situation. Normally roam around wherever and go on walk and hikes
About: I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood right in front of a waterside park, which means plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and sunshine for your pup. My own sweet older dog, Chop, is very social and well-mannered, so visiting dogs always have a friendly companion by their side. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day with frequent walks, playtime, and snuggles. I truly love animals and care for each one as if they were my own Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I start and end the day with walks by the waterside park right outside my door, and I build in plenty of breaks for outdoor time throughout the day since I work from home. My dog Chop is older and very social, so he loves having other dogs join us for fresh air, sunshine, and play. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles, I make sure pets feel cared for and included in my routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll have access to plenty of outside time at the waterside park right across the street, daily walks, and a safe, comfortable space to relax inside. My dog Chop is very social and gentle, so visiting dogs always have a built-in buddy. Because I work from home, I can give pets consistent attention, whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or regular potty breaks. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, from feeding schedules and walks to any special instructions for training, medication, or comfort. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and relaxed in the environment where they feel most secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 City 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 City 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 City 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.

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.
