“Hieu and Anna are wonderful! They responded very promptly and came over for an initial meet and greet, then watched our 3 month goldendoodle while we had a date night. They are super friendly, responsive, and absolutely great with our puppy. We (and Zora) are looking forward to many more future drop in visits!”
“Jeana is a gem! She took excellent care of our 3 dogs. She sent pics and updates throughout her stay. Very trustworthy and dependable. She’s our new “go-to” for dog sitting!”
“Dana was great. She sent regular updates and photos of my dogs. She took good care of them, including the medicine that they required while she was sitting with them. Highly recommend her.”
“Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Kerely took outstanding care of our dog, Gracie. Our dog is a recent rescue and has anxiety issues on occasion. Kerely sent us really cute pictures of Gracie that showed how happy Gracie was, and sent us regular texts. There was a thunderstorm while we were gone, and Kerely exercised excellent judgment in helping Gracie through it. Kerely also was very thoughtful in how she took care of our house while we were gone. We would definitely ask Kerely to do this again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and currently have three dogs of my own. With 5 years of experience working as a kennel assistant, I’ve developed strong skills in pet care and handling. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments, ensuring each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m currently a college student with plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m free Friday-Monday, most of Wednesdays and Tuesday and Thursday evenings. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I follow their regular routines for feeding, exercise, and playtime to help reduce stress and keep them happy. I also provide plenty of attention, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.
“Dotti was absolutely fantastic!! 100/10. Reached out to her last minute and she was able to accommodate our fur babies. One of ours are extremely high energy, the other is very timid and anxious. She made them feel comfortable and encouraged fun playtime, and sent pictures the whole time and made us feel comfortable as well! She also took care of our house like it was her own as well; even putting things away we forgot before we left! Highly recommend!!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies while I was away! Jeannie is amazing and provided phenomenal communication and pictures making me feel at ease that they were in great hands! Definitely will rebook”
“Bella was incredibly well cared for during our absence. Ahmed looked after every detail and was in constant contact updating me with photos and videos which was really helpful to easing any anxiety we had in leaving our little Yorkie. Ahmed even came back Sunday afternoon to give Bella another walk and treat to bridge the time before I returned home. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this caregiver; thank you Ahmed!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
I have never been so relived to find a fabulous sitter for our yellow-lab. Sarah did an incredible job communicating throughout her overnight stay... sending pictures, and letting us know when our dog was walked, or when medication/meals were given. I feel so thankful to have found someone so great for our anxious but loving pup!
Jeana did a great job. We’ve had dog sitters over the years (not thru Rover.com) and altho they’ve all been good, Jeana was our favorite. Loved her style of communication, attention to detail, and the house looked great when we got back. Most importantly, our girls seemed very contented and normal, as if we’d only been out for a short errand. We cannot recommend Jeana enough. She’s the best.

Shennan was easy to work with, professional, prompt and responsive. We did two meet and greets before my weekend away because I am always nervous when my little anxious Archie is with someone new. Archie took to her right away and looked happy and healthy when I got back home...and my house was as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to book Shennan again when she is home from school.
Molly was wonderful with Rosie and Buttercup. From the updates and pictures we could tell they were very comfortable and she did a great job helping Rosie through her firework anxiety. Left the house spotless. Highly recommend and we will use 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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.
