“Amy was fabulous. Pearl was a little down the first day but Amy was so patient and gentle with her. I had no regrets leaving her with Amy. She was well taken care of. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Danish had a wonderful time with Samantha! I got daily updates on their time together. Samantha is responsive, easy going, and great to work with. We are definitely going to book with Samantha again!”
“Nancy is awesome! She tended to my pup like it was her own. She provided plenty of love and attention including daily walks, playtime and cuddles. She kept me updated with daily pics and texts, and left our house in pristine condition. She's a keeper!”
About: My family and I have always had pets around, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies and birds, therefore, I have experience in all the care that our furry friends need. Experienced in feeding, cleaning, brushing, washing, walking, medicating, playing, and most important of all, petting. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or just having someone check in and spend time with them, I'm happy to adjust to their needs and routine. Every pet is different, so I focus on following their normal routine and making them feel as comfortable as possible. I make sure they're fed, exercised, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always a priority, and I'll follow any instructions you provide to ensure your pet is happy and well cared for. I'll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Kelly was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she helped ease my first time jitters. Our dog has separation anxiety and she was available to house sit and be there the majority of the time. She sent videos and photos for our kids and us to see. She walked and played outside a lot keeping our dog active and thus calmer.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of every kind ever since I was 11 years old. I love training puppies and taking care of senior dogs as well! I currently am working part time so all of my extra time I have I put that towards give amazing care to animals. Anything to make their day just amazing as mine! I live on a lot of land so it’s perfect for them to run around. I also have 2 fur babies of my own that would love to keep your pets company!
About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I truly love what I do! I’m experienced with all aspects of everyday pet care, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Recently, I had the opportunity to house and care for two golden doodles for two full weeks, where I was completely responsible for their daily needs and routine. This experience strengthened my ability to provide consistent, dependable care while giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I’m also a proud cat owner myself and absolutely adore my kitty! 🐱❤️ Because of that, I have a huge soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, daily visits, overnight care, or plenty of love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 My schedule can vary a little from week to week because I work as a soccer coach and travel around the Southwest Metro for practices and classes. That said, I currently have a pretty consistent weekly schedule and am happy to share my specific availability for any day you’re looking for! I’m also very flexible and love working with families to find a schedule that fits their needs. Whether you need a quick drop-in, a walk, or someone to spend more time with your pets, I’m happy to work around my schedule whenever I can. I’m always open to communicating and figuring out what works best for you and your furry friends! 🐾💕 I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and always do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while their owners are away! I especially enjoy in-home pet sitting because pets tend to feel most comfortable in their own familiar environment, and I’m more than happy to spend time with them, provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, and lots of love and attention. I also understand that caring for someone’s home comes with responsibility, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. While I’m open to different arrangements, I currently prefer caring for pets in their home rather than hosting them at mine, as I live with other people and have limited space. I’m very flexible, though, and would love to work with you to find whatever arrangement works best for you and your pets! 🐾💕
“Justin was amazing with our animals! They really took to him right away, even our dog who doesn't like strangers. He sent pictures with them and they were all safe and happy. He was respectful of our home and accommodating to unexpected changes in our schedule. We will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. You made a very hard first time away from our puppy a care-free experience, which we would have never expected. Thank you!”
“Trevor was great! Did a quick meet and great with our dogs and they took to him really well. He did a overnight stay for us and was able to stay a little later in the day for us to not have to stress getting home right away.”
“Michelle took wonderful care of our senior dog who has some special needs. She was a great communicator, caring and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog. I would definitely use her again!”

Madelaine was wonderful taking care of our pup. She gave updates and really cared for him since it was the first time ever leaving him. She also brought in lots of Amazon packages and shoveled the driveway. Went over and above! We are already have her back to watch him again!
Lola is the best!! She watched all three of our dogs while we were out of town for a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was very communicative, sending photo updates of our pups, and was comfortable administering one of our pup’s meds/daily ear cleaning needs. We would recommend Lola as a pet sitter to anyone and hope to use her again in the future!
All your gut instincts will tell you Bailee is one of the good ones and you’ll be absolutely right. After meeting her just once, we left for Aruba for a full week and I knew 100% that our two Great Pyrenees and little Pomeranian were in excellent care. I have a habit of adopting pups from tough backgrounds which means unique, nuanced personalities and Bailee handled their individual needs with total ease. This overprotective dog mom is endlessly grateful for Bailee’s incredible care. That peace of mind is priceless.
Callahan was great! Easy to set up times. My Lucy loved her from the first moment. She took great care with walks and cuddles. Loved she send daily pictures of Lucy. She left our home in great shape and even watched for and brought packages inside. We look forward to using her again.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Mound 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 Mound 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 Mound 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.
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 .
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 .
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.
