“Betty was awesome! She was very attentive to our dog and his needs. She sent us photos and updates every day, and adhered to our dog’s schedule and routine. She’s a trustworthy & responsible person, and we will definitely book her services again.”
“Madison is WONDERFUL with the dogs. She does a great job giving attention to three attention-seeking dogs! It's so nice to leave and know your dogs are in great hands. Thanks Madison!”
“Danielle was great. Came home and I could tell Chinook had been cared for with love. I'll reach out to Danielle again when headed out of town. If you need a sitter or walk, she's the one.”
“Emma did such a great job watching Ozzy! He was recovering from some tummy distress so she maintained the bland diet meals that we had been feeding him to get him right! She took him to his favorite park and to any activities she had! We got lots of pictures and know our pup had a great time as always with Emma.”
“Christina took great care of our dog, left the house clean, and communicated with us while we were gone. She was amazing and I’d definitely recommend her!!!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and have rescued a couple that have found loving homes. As an IT professional who sits at a computer for long hours, having a chance to walk and engage with pets is something therapeutic for me. I have extensive experience primarily with herding breeds (Border Collies) as they have been the most fun and challenging to work with. In general as a high energy individual, high energy breeds are not a problem for me. :) I work fully remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be catered to your needs. I have a lot of free time in the evenings, especially. In a clients home I can accommodate whatever needs as I am very familiar with crate training. Proper exercise for your pet or some training as well!
“Makenzie is absolutely amazing! Our little guy had such a great time with her and looked so happy when we came home. She sent us tons of pics and kept us updated. We’ll be using her again very soon!”
“Emily did a fantastic job. She is super responsive and I came home to a happy dog. She took my higher-energy breed dog to play outside multiple times a day. I would definitely book her to house sit with my dog again.”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo. She followed my instructions to a tee and I came back to a spotless house and very happy pups. I would definitely hire her again.”
“I was so impressed with Tawny. I have never left my dogs with a dog care center before. All three with different personalities and he took care of everyone of their needs. I loved that he took him on a field trip that they really enjoyed. I would highly recommend Toni to take care of your dog. Thank you Tawny for making my dogs feel special.”
“Penny did an amazing job watching Doro! I felt so relieved to know she was well taken care of. Also she was able to help me last minute when another sitter fell through. I am so grateful!!”
“Ash was great. She was very thorough about getting to know our pets routines and their boundaries which is amazing! Our anxious/reactive dog was happy to cuddle up with her and she did a good job at administering all of our pets medication. She clearly cares about animals a lot and has a very gentle and calm attitude with pets. Our cat that hates and gets aggressive with everyone but us seemed to hit it off with her which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Ash!”
“Jay is THE best. He took such great care of our three cats while we were traveling for two weeks. He even got our shy cat to warm up to him (so rare!). Jay was stellar at communicating with us and helping care for our medically complex cat. He administered medicine each day, fed all three cats, maintained their litter box & water fountains, played with them, and also helped manage things that came up around the house (bringing in packages, garbage cans, etc). I highly recommend having Jay help with your pets! We’ll be booking him again soon.”
“Heather was fantastic! She really went out of her way to make sure we had peace of mind. I didn’t have a single worry while away. She sends great video updates with music and captions, they are so much fun! She left the house clean and my dogs happy. She even left me a cute note with a handful of printed photos of my dogs, such a good touch! I highly recommend Heather and will continue using her to care for my pups.”
“I had to leave town for some family business and I have to admit I had some anxieties about leaving my house and 2 dogs with someone I had never met. I first meet Alex at a neighborhood park near me for a meet and greet. After the initial pleasantries I invited Alex over to my house to help familiarize her with the house. I left on my trip and the first evening Alex texted me some pictures of the dogs. It was obvious the dogs were happy, and the rest of my concerns melted away. She texted me pictures every evening while I was gone. There was some great shots. I had also agreed to have Alex clean the house while I was gone. When I did arrive home the house was shinny clean, and the dogs were happy to see me. Alex exceeded my expectations! Next time I plan on leaving town I will contact Alex and know that every thing is in good hands.”
“Cameron is truly the best! She took care of my baby Draco for over a week. My cat is usually shy and afraid of new people but he loved Cameron instantly!! She was very caring, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for my boy especially since he requires special care and attention. Its the first time I’m leaving Draco for a long trip and Cameron always updated me and sent me photos of how Draco is doing so I felt super relieved being out of the country and having Cameron look after Draco. Cameron is the best!! Shes so polite, very communicative and even cleaned after the apartment even though she didn’t have to! She is the best, I am lucky to have found her!! Will definitely recommend her for your fur babies <3”
“McKenzie went out of her way to come meet my dog and I prior to her stay. She has a very kind presence and made me feel very comfortable leaving my pet and home in her care. Would absolutely book again!”
“Payton did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. We were kept updated the whole time with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear there was genuine care and extra effort put into everything, even taking the dogs on hikes. I would absolutely love to book with Payton again and can’t recommend enough.”

Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!
Penny did a wonderful job caring for our dogs and our home! She was reliable, attentive, and treated our pets like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and a spotless house. We would absolutely trust Penny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter! Thanks for everything Penny
Cameron is THE BEST! She’s always the first person I ask when I need house sitting/caring for my male Ragdoll cat. Cameron is the most caring, reliable and dedicated person to ever look after my cat Draco who has IBD and is on special diet. My cat Draco LOVES her, and gets very excited to see her every time. She treats Draco like her own and I am always relaxed knowing she is watching him whenever I’m gone on trips. ❤️❤️❤️
Seth was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to meet our dogs before we had to leave and took time for them to get comfortable with him. He was very interactive and communicative while we were away, and knowing they were being well taken care was a relief! We will definitely reach out to him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! He took care of our 4-month-old puppy for two weeks, and anyone who has had a puppy that age knows they can be A LOT of work! 😅 He was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with her, and went above and beyond just watching her. He actually helped reinforce training and worked with her on good behaviors, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such capable hands while we were away. He kept us updated, took great care of her, and clearly put a lot of time and effort into making sure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. We came home to a happy puppy who had clearly been loved and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Brad did such a great job. From the start he made me feel good about leaving my loved pets in his hands for a week. He was also a courteous guest and took great care of the house. I can tell that he kept my dogs and cat happy. I will definitely be asking Brad to watch my pets at my house in the future.
Michael was so great and attentive to our two girls! He is very friendly and our two cats instantly felt comfortable with him! He gave us plenty of updates while we were away and was able to accommodate a couple of our date changes while away. We highly recommend Michael and look forward to working with him again!!
Lena was amazing! She took great care of our little angel over our wedding trip and made sure I didn't have any worries so I could focus on being present. She cared for him like I would and we will definitely use her again. The photos and videos kept me so calm and allowed me to actually travel and enjoy it! Absolutely amazing, thank you again Lena!

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 Murray 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 Murray 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 Murray 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.
