“Kevin is kind and most thoughtful. Winnie felt immediately at ease with Kevin, and as a result, we have booked more pet/house sittings with Kevin! We appreciate Kevin's care of our home - he's immaculate! It gives us peace knowing Winnie is with Kevin for a walk or Kevin is caring for Winnie for a several days in our home! Kevin is a great decision - and is usually booked far in advance so contact him as soon as possible.”
“Kaylin took care of our big fluffy guy for a long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier! Leo was exercised to the fullest every day and we loved all the picture updates :) our home was in perfect condition when we came home. We will definitely be using Kaylin again in the future!”
About: I grew up working at my parents dog kennel that was attached to our house. I took care of dogs, cats, birds, and occasionally rodents. I would help my parents scoop the yard, clean the kennels, and walk the dogs since I was 8. I now own a beautiful dog of my own who is the light of my life. For the last three years, I lived with three dogs of varying ages and sizes and helped to administer medications, train, love them equally. I would now love to be a part of your pet's lives too. I currently work part time and will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet's needs as long as the expectations are discussed prior and clearly to ensure a successful sitting experience. I am often told that dogs and cats quickly feel comfortable with me. If they are outgoing, I love to pet and play with them, if they are shy, then I am good at offering interactions while still giving the pet their space.
“Emily was the best sitter we could have asked for! We have several animals; both dogs and cats, some with medication needs. She didn’t hesitate when we explained everything, and was more than up to the task! Our 20 year old cat, Goober, had especially specific instructions (including IV fluids), and Emily did every step we asked for, and went above and beyond. She understood how difficult it was to leave Goober at this point in his life (end stage renal disease) and made making him as comfortable as possible at all points in time a huge priority. She communicated frequently, sent tons of pictures, and made our wedding time completely peaceful knowing everyone was taken care of. Our home was completely perfect getting back to and she left a very sweet “just married” card for us. She will be our go-to for all of our future house-sits.”
“Brooke took a really good care of our two dogs. They were happy to see her and relaxed when I got home. She is a great communicator and flexible. We are definitely planning on working with her in the future.”
About: I grew up on a small farm so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, small pets. All of my pets have been rescues and truly are my children. I focus on personalized care, enrichment, socialization, adventures and not just feeding and potty breaks. I’ll follow your pet’s routine while giving them the same patience, attention and love I give my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have pets of my own, so my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and plenty of outdoor adventures. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my day around the animals in my care, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, longer adventures or overnight stays. My home is pet-friendly with a doggy door and secure 6-foot vinyl-fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. My neighborhood has lots of walking paths and parks. There is a small dog park within walking distance.
“Scarlet was great. My dog warmed up to her right away and she went above and beyond making sure he was taken care of. Lots of photos of my kiddos to keep me reassured they were cozy and happy. Thanks Scarlet!”
“Simply put, Leah might’ve been the most communicative, thoughtful and caring petsitter we’ve ever had. During the busy holiday season, she kept our pet company and made sure we had all the latest updates and photos to prove it. Will most definitely be calling her again… and you should too!”
“Nicole was excellent for housesitting and watching our dog while we were away. She is extremely friendly and caring. She made it easy for pre-booking meet and greet, provided plenty of lovely updates, and made us feel very comfortable being away. We hope our dog gets to spend more time with her again soon.”
About: Hi, a little about myself. I have a french bulldog named peach and two cats! Smidge and Dee. I love animals and have tons experience taking care of them. Such as walking/ running and simple care. Brushing, playing etc. Ask me anything! I am new to the area and currently substitute teaching. My schedule is flexible and I can work around what is best for you and your pets. I have stayed with dogs that were aggressive to anyone that wasn’t their owner. By day two we were good friends and would get excited when I visited. I am very patient and understanding. Which helps when getting to know new pets!
About: For more than 15 years, I've been the person friends call when they need someone they completely trust with their pets and their home. I've cared for dogs and cats for everything from daily walks and check-ins to several-week stays, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal's unique personality. I naturally build trust with animals and have found that even more anxious, reactive, or shy pets often settle quickly with me. I've cared for dogs with social anxiety, leash reactivity, and strong personalities, and I enjoy helping them feel safe, confident, and understood. I'm also comfortable with puppies and reinforcing basic training and routines while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. When I'm caring for a pet, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Whether that's regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply quiet companionship, I enjoy giving each pet the attention and care they need to feel comfortable while their family is away. Clear communication is also important to me, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages to let you know how your pet is doing. I currently offer care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay in the environment they know and love. I find that keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and preferences. Some love long walks and lots of play, while others are happiest with quiet companionship and sticking to their routine. I enjoy meeting them where they are and giving them the care they need rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection if they want it. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. At this time, I am not able to provide boarding in my own home, so all of my services take place in my clients' homes.
About: I have cared for my childhood dog since I was six years old and have a lifelong love for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer dog walking, overnight care, and pet-sitting services. Whether your furry friend enjoys a walk, a game of fetch, or simply extra love and attention, I will make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a part-time employee and a student at CSU, which gives me flexibility in my schedule to help care for your pet! I’m available for walks and boarding on weekends after 12 PM, as well as on Fridays and Mondays after 11 AM. I’m unable to care for pets in my own home, but I’m more than happy to come to your home and provide loving, reliable care. If there’s a park nearby, I’d love to take your dog for a fun walk, play fetch, or give them some extra exercise and attention. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull on the leash and will make sure they stay safe and secure.
About: I provide comforting care when you can't take your fur babies with you. I give peace of mind so you know your pet is having a positive experience with me and that your home is safe and secure. I understand that each pet is different and has routines and needs of care which I will always follow. Having had pets of my own, I appreciate the individuality of each animal and feel confident in giving them the space they need or the affection they desire. From me they will always get what they need and feel cared for. I have had the opportunity to care for large and small dogs, a cat who people were afraid of but who eventually happily coexisted with me. I work full time as a remote worker so I can provide in home pet first care with ease. My work and schedule is flexible, which allows for pet care to be added into my day with little disruption to me or the pet. When I am with a pet in their home, their routine and needs come first. Besides the instructions or guidance I am given about the pet, I observe and engage with the pet to learn about them and make them comfortable and happy while I am in their home.
About: What began as a shared passion for animals has grown into a trusted, reliable service with a loyal base of repeat clients. We provide attentive care for pets and homes while you travel, offering the kind of service you need not think twice about. ✨ Andrew brings Midwestern charm and over twelve years of experience in franchise operations planning, while Raquel brings Southern hospitality and works remotely in tech management. Together, we bring the reliability, structure, and clear communication that come from managing high-stakes projects professionally, now applied to the care of your pets and home. 🏡 We are also building toward a long-term homestead, so hands-on animal care and property upkeep come naturally to us rather than as an afterthought. 🐕 We have taken on the responsibility of self-training our Labrador as a service dog, a commitment that reflects the seriousness with which we approach animal care, patience, and consistency. 👫 As a husband-and-wife team, we offer something solo sitters cannot: consistency, accountability, and genuine peace of mind. Every client is invited to a meet-and-greet, ensuring you know exactly who is caring for your pet and your home. Should you prefer a female caregiver, we are happy to accommodate. You will receive daily photo and video updates, and the majority of our clients choose to rebook us for every trip. We would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. 🐾 Proudly serving Fort Collins and Northern Colorado’s finest neighborhoods. Raquel & Andrew My wife works from home, and I work for myself. When we are watching your animals we are fully committed to that service that we are providing. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and environment. I follow feeding, medication, walking, exercise, and bedtime schedules as closely as requested. I’m comfortable working with pets who require extra patience, structure, training reinforcement, or experienced handling. I provide as much one-on-one attention as requested while also treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Kai is amazing! Worrying about the dogs is always a source of anxiety when we travel but Kai completely eliminated that for us. She is constantly sending updates and photos and goes above and beyond. We just had her stay for over 2 weeks and our house was well taken care of and our dogs were happy as can be! I would recommend her to anyone:)”

“Nayla was professional, kind, and thoughtful about how we wanted our sweet older cat’s experience to go while she stayed at our house for this past long weekend. Our cat was so happy and not stressed when we got home, which was such peace of mind for us and him! We will definitely book her for our next trip.”

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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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.
