“Libby was a wonderful dog sitter for Penny. She spent time with her and took her for walks. She shared pictures with of us of Penny while we were away. We would hire Libby again in the future.”
“Morgan was great at being communicative and sent pictures of Bennie! I had no worries at all with her updates and netting me know he was doing okay! She was very thorough and asked me plenty of questions to make sure she could take care of Bennie to the best standard.”
About: Hi, I grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats. When I was younger it was commonplace that any dog that needed a home in our town my family would take in and care for. I have since moved out and have 2 cats but no dogs because of my living situation. I’m in school for psychology, headed to WVU college of Law next year. I love dogs and cats and would love to help out a fellow animal lover! I am empathetic, caring, responsible, and great at time management. I am doing this to make money to put towards Law School. My weekends are normally spent in my hometown visiting family as I have quite a few elderly relatives still living there. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have class from 3:30-4:15pm. Tuesday and Thursdays from 9:30-11:15am. Other than those times, I am available during the week for a pop in or a walk or just some quality time/a new face! I don’t intend to bring any of the animals to my home unless it would be just a walk by outside. Because as I’ve mentioned, I have 2 cats and wouldn’t want to risk anything by exposure of anything to them or your baby even though mine are fully vaxed.
“Amber does a fantastic job watching Archie. She is punctual, communicates well, and has very good intuition about what is best for him. The weather has been very hot and she has appropriately gotten him time outside when able, then made him come inside before he gets too warm. I highly recommend booking her!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and I have a cat of my own who has been my dear Love for 9 years. Over the past 10 years, I have watched the two lovely dogs of my parents and I have watched my friend’s pets as well, both dogs and cats. I have taken care of elderly dogs and energetic puppies. I love giving any pet under my care long pets and scratches until they are in a state of bliss:) I am currently looking for a way to supplement my income and I have lots of time to take care of your fur baby! I am a local therapist who does remote work 3x a week. 2x a week I may have to go in the office. Since I work remotely, I can stay with your pets for longer periods of time. On days I have to go in office, I can add flexibility to my schedule to make sure your pets get breaks. I can’t have other people’s pets in home but I can stay with your pets where they feel most comfortable. I can dedicate my time to may sure they can get lots of love and attention. I can also give pets space if that’s what they need.
“Our 3 dogs love her! Lena stayed in our home overnight while we were away. We highly recommend her. Two of our three dogs are on medication and it went very well. Thank you, Lena for your help. We will definitely book again.”
About: I have been dog and cat sitting since I was 12 and worked 2 jobs in doggy day cares and have volunteered in a cat shelter! I am home from University looking to work with some animals/help take care of them in my free time as much as owners need me to! I prefer to take care of animals at their own houses for their comfort as well as my families. But if needed I don’t mind taking them into my own home for short periods of time:)
“Hannah did amazing watching my fur babies for me while I was out of town! She made sure to give my spoiled cat and dog all the treats, cuddles, and play time they needed and kept me up to date with pictures/videos. Highly recommend (:”
“Jenna was a lifesaver and agreed to sit my pups when another sitter canceled last minute. She took great care of them for the night I was away! I would definitely book with her again if she’s available.”
“Ashley was awesome! She did a meet and greet and took plenty of notes. She was very communicative during our trip and sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets! We will definitely rebook her!”
“Aubrey took amazing care of our Ranger! She made sure our old boy was comfortable and happy. I appreciate the care she took of the house as well! We are thankful she could stay on such short notice.”
“Shannon was amazing, my GSD loved her. Shannon sent me pictures of her and my GSD hanging out, I know my baby was in good hands while he was with Shannon! I will be using Shannon 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 New Hill 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 New Hill 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 New Hill 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.
