“We are so grateful to have found someone to stay with our 2 pomskies when we are traveling! It’s always so stressful leaving them. Until now. Elsa and Mia had a wonderful time. You could see it in every picture. They looked completely at ease, which made us feel exactly the same. We can’t wait to book again!!!!15 out of 10 😊”
“Melanie is fantastic and great with animals. Our dogs immediately took to her because of her calm and loving personality. Highly recommend Melanie and we will use her services again!”
About: I love dogs and am extremely caring of pets. I will treat them as my own and make sure they get the care they deserve!! I am currently a travel Occupational Therapist and have a flexible schedule to watch dogs. Feel free to reach out to find a time that suits well if you. I have a fenced in yard at home to let the dogs run around. I am willing to walk the dogs and take them to the park if wanted.
“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”
“Wonderful experience with Ava! She's a terrific and reliable house sitter, and took great care of our kiddos while we were away. You can tell from meeting her that she's got a huge heart. She's already lined up for the next time we go away.”
“My dog Charley is psycho!! She was rescued as she sat in a corner shaking! Jenna was kind and patient with her and kept me informed of her tense situation with Charley!! I would definitely request Jenna to dogsit again. Not sure if she wants to watch Charley again!!😄”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. My goal is to provide reliable care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very consistent, which allows me to provide reliable care for your pets. During the week, I'm available after 3:30 PM for walks, drop-in visits, and evening care. I also have morning availability on Mondays and Fridays before noon. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a check-in while you're away, I'll work to provide the care they need and keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets, I treat them like members of my own family. I make it a priority to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I provide attentive, personalized care while maintaining the routines they're used to at home. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are happy and in good hands.
About: I’m an experienced in-home pet sitter and lifelong animal lover with 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and abilities. I’ve raised and cared for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to beloved seniors. My own Westie, Jack, is currently 17 years young! Through caring for my own animals over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience providing specialized care, including: * Administering oral medications (pills and liquid medications via syringe) * Administering prescribed subcutaneous fluids * Ear cleaning and administering ear drops * Assisting mobility-impaired dogs with support harnesses and wheelchairs * Some experience with canine bladder expression and caring for paralyzed dogs My experience with senior and special-needs pets is especially personal. When my German Shepherd, George, became paralyzed during the final year of his life, I learned firsthand how to help him navigate daily life with limited mobility. Today, my senior Westie, Jack, occasionally needs extra assistance getting around, so I’m familiar with using support harnesses and carrying aids to keep him comfortable and included in everyday activities. These experiences have taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of recognizing each animal’s individual needs. I understand that some pets require a little extra attention, while others simply need a dependable companion to keep their routines familiar. Whether your furry family member enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a quiet afternoon of companionship, I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality, abilities, and established routine. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. From playful puppies to golden oldies, every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I offer flexible scheduling for in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I especially welcome overnight and extended stays, and I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s established routines, including feeding, exercise, medications, and companionship. I understand that every pet and household has unique needs, so I encourage open communication before booking to make sure my availability and your expectations are a great match. My calendar will reflect my current availability, and I’m happy to discuss upcoming dates in advance! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own homes, I strive to maintain their familiar routines and environment while providing plenty of attention, affection, and appropriate activity. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, household rules, and any special care requirements. I’m particularly attentive to senior pets and animals with mobility challenges, ensuring they receive the patience, assistance, and supervision they need. I also believe communication is essential to building trust. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are doing well. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I’d give my own, leaving things clean, secure, and just as I found them.
“Hannah is responsive and communicated well. She was available on short notice and was able to do a meet and greet prior to watching the gals this weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as she found it.”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have two Labradoodles back home with my mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine—whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or a total Velcro pet who wants to be by my side 24/7. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is getting lots of attention, affection, and care! I work full-time in a fully remote position, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be home throughout the day! Working from home gives me the opportunity to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care while maintaining my normal work routine. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, overnight stays, and generally have full availability on weekends! I’m always happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine to ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as I can! I’m happy to stick to specific feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or any other instructions you leave for me. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and space. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always leave things just as I found them. And of course, you can expect lots of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for!
About: Thank you for considering me! I’m new to Rover, but for me, animals have always been family. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s two dogs. I would walk, feed, and play with them on a consistent schedule. Nowadays, I have four cats with my fiancée and I’m loving every minute of being a pet parent! My top priorities as your pet sitter are safety, communication, and comfort. I want you to feel at ease knowing that your animals are in good hands, just as I want your pets to be comfortable with me checking in on them. I will always respect any boundaries, especially with shy/reserved animals! I have a full time job in Bellevue, where I work 8am-4pm Monday thru Friday. I am able to drop in before and after my shifts, as well as anytime on weekends! Dog walks are better suited for after my work shifts. I’d only be available for House sitting typically from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings/Monday mornings, although don’t hesitate to reach out as it’s possible we could get something coordinated. Communication is key! Safety is huge for me. Having multiple pets that are escape artists has taught me to be very vigilant when opening our front door. Your pet’s safety is my top priority!
“Lindsey was a fabulous pet sitter for our two dogs and cat! This was our first time using Rover, and we could not have asked for a better experience! Lindsey was professional, attentive, detail-oriented, and truly treated our pets like they were her own. She spent lots of time with them inside and outside, took them on nice walks, and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and videos that alleviated our worries. They didn’t seem to miss us at all when we got home! Would recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for someone to care for your pets - she is wonderful! We will certainly be reaching out to her again.”
“Rachel was a wonderful in-home dog sitter. In addition to being a perfect house guest, she was so kind and caring to my senior pup. She was communicative and left everything in perfect order. Ziggy says he would highly recommend her and would give her 6 stars if he could!”
“Jeremy stayed in our home for a week with our Husky and two elderly cats - one cat requires both an oral and a topical medication and our Husky requires an oral medication. Jeremy provided excellent care and at least daily check ins with photos. Our home was super clean when we returned home and could tell that Jeremy tends to both the pets and home he is caring for like his own. Jeremy also handled more bizarre situations that were encountered (like a dead possum in our backyard) super well. Communication from the start of our request for a meet and greet was exemplary. Quick responses and always right on time at the agreed upon time even when using public transportation as the primary mode of transit. We would love to welcome Jeremy back into our home and would be so grateful to have him care for our animals and house again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I love to play with and bathe them and treat them to something special on occasion. I currently work a full time job, but have free time in the evening and the weekends to care for your furbaby. I am a single mom of 3. My youngest is in college so I kind of have an "empty nest" while he is away, which gives me free time to spend with your furbaby. I do have a furbaby of my own, Toby. He is my best friend and companion. I know how important pets are to the family and I would treat yours as a part of my family. My furbaby gets fed and treats before I leave the house. He loves playing and going for walks. He loves car rides and is seatbelted.

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 Muse 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 Muse 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.
Tip: 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 Muse 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 with handling special pet needs in Muse. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
