“Evan was awesome with our pittie mix and cat. He sent us tons of photos and clearly gave them a lot of love and snuggles. Our house looked exactly as we left it. Would definitely book with him again!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and I absolutely adore them! I have experience with small dogs as well as big dogs (around 100 lbs.). Most of my experience has been with younger, healthy dogs, but I'm open to older and special care dogs as well. My care routine is flexible depending on yours and your dog's schedule. If you're dog has a specific routine that they are accustomed to or special care that I need to administer, written directions are very helpful to me! I am a very direct and to the point communicator. Unfortunately, my own home is not suitable for pet care, so all care will have to be given from your own home. I look forward to getting to know your pup! I am currently working part-time, but I am hoping to be able to quit my job in favor of pet-care. I do not take pets at my own home, but I am more than happy to come to yours. I find that pets are more comfortable in their own home, especially when they're dealing with the stress of their family being away and trying to get used to a new person. In these cases, I let your pet warm up to me in their own time and give them a much love and attention as they will accept.
“Sammi was amazing! I got constant updates/pictures throughout her stay. My dog Goldie is very anxious and hyper and Sammi did a great job handling her. Already have her booked again!”
“Felix was such an attentive and caring sitter that I’m so lucky to have had the pleasure to be with my cats during a short stay!! My girls were so well-cared for and it was evident as soon as I got home ? Thank you so much, Felix!!”
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly communicative and sent me frequent photos of my fur babies throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, they were happy and well cared for. She also left my house just as neat as I had left it, which made my late arrival home so much more relaxing. I will definitely be using her services again for my Christmas trip and any future travels!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve handled feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines and always aim to make them feel safe and comfortable. I am currently seeking for a job and have a really flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I could possibly do weekends, but it depends on how available I can be to help. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other specific instructions provided. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment.
“Vannia was awesome. I felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for my little girl, Piper. She is accommodating and communicates regularly. I will most definitely use her again.”
“Brandie was amazing for us and our pup! We were gone for 8 days, our longest trip without our dog and Brandie did such a good job with sending us pictures and updates. She also took care of my large amount of house plants, which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend booking with Brandie!”
“Katherine did a great job taking care of our dog and the house. We really appreciated her updates, communication, and cleanliness. We would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future!”
“Chelsie was a fantastic carer for my calico! She even won over my prickly princess ❤️. House was left spotless and I came home to happy, stress free kitties. Will book again!”
“Alisha is just wonderful! We have a senior dog and another who tends to have separation anxiety. Our dogs loved her and they were very well cared for in our absence. I 100% recommend Alisha!”
About: I have taken care of pets for the last ten years plus. We have had birds, mice, snakes, dogs, cats. I love them all. Any care you need, let me know. I take care of house plants and any other small chores you need while you are gone. I am currently recovering from a soccer injury and I am available 24/7. I start college back in September and then will be able to just do weekends but now I am free for you. I love pets, I will double check all issues and make sure they are cared for and loved.Food, sleep, walks, you got it all. Sensitive and anxious dogs are welcome.
“Anna is an incredible sitter. Our dogs immediately took to her on the meet and greet. We knew she had to be the one we chose and couldn't be happier with the love she gave them and amazing care she took of our home. We all have gained more than a Rover contact...we have a new friend !”

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 Morton 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 Morton 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 Morton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
