“Ricky did amazing! I have two dogs we rescued, little dachshunds. One of the boys we have can be loud, and aggressive. My partner and I were very anxious going into this fearful of any lash outs or boy could have. Ricky handled the my boys with tenderness and loving care. By the last day I was told my naughty boy was excited to see him come through the door for their daily walks. You’re amazing Ricky!”
About: I have walked dogs and pet sat since I was 14. Currently, I am a guardian to 1 senior 10lbs dog and 2 11lbs cats. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for animals of all sizes. Other animals I have cared for include birds, tortoises, and guinea pigs. I currently work a full-time position but am free most early mornings, overnights, evenings, and weekends! I have plenty of time to attend to your pets, just give me a warning! I will treat your home and animals as if they are my own. In addition to pet care, I am happy to water plants and bring in mail/packages.
“Working with Natania for looking after our dogs and cats has been really smooth. We have four senior animals, each with a particular wrinkle to caring for them, and Natania was super open to their needs. She obviously cares deeply for animals and is a very conscientious caretaker. We are very confident working with her again!”
“Katherine was so great with my Bella! Sent me pics and cared wonderfully for my dog. She also took great care of my house! Booked her multiple times for the fall ☺️”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. I always find the animal in the room and have gained a lot of knowledge over the years!! I have a Yorkie and a Golden Retriever myself. I trained my golden retriever myself as well. I’m currently a senior in college with a light schedule. I have a lot of gaps during my days. I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (most often). I have enough knowledge to know what a pet needs in any moment. I will be able to keep an eye on them at all times. I am able to adjust to anything that a specific owner is more comfortable with.
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and no two are the same. It’s my priority to care for your pet’s specific needs to ensure their comfort❤️ I mostly work evenings so I’m best suited for morning and afternoon walks. For house sitting, same availability applies but I can accommodate nightly check ins. It’s essential to me that your pet feels comfortable! It can be stressful for them to away from you so I’ll do my best to keep their routines in their home environment.

I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children.

“Melaney took amazing care of my senior cat and my kitten. She bonded with them almost immediately! I really appreciated her updates and photos throughout the house sitting. I was able to focus on my business trip knowing my cats were in great hands with Melaney.”
“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”
“Would 100% book again with Kaitlin. She was extremely professional, honest, reasonable, and most importantly LOVED my dog as if he was her own. She offers fantastic dog care, she was very caring and attentive to our pup. Kaitlin stayed in touch with us daily via text and phone. She sent daily photos of what our dog was doing. She not only took care of our dog, but she took care of our home as well. She left it exactly how we left it. Can't wait for Kaitlin to watch Tino again!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart
“Lauren was stellar with our large bunch of needy pets. We have an older cat who just wants to sit on a lap to be pet, a shy kitten who takes several days to warm up into his most energetic self, an old dog with several medications who needs frequent short, slow walks due to health issues, and a parrot. They all warmed up big time to her by the 2nd night and our dog would guard her when she got into bed (which she’s never done to anyone outside of family before). Lauren was also great at communication during the meet and greet to get all pet info, sent daily updates with pictures once we were gone, and even washed the sheets/towels she used while here, took out any trash she used, watered our plants daily, and folded the cleaned bedding/towels. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Corwin was responsive, very clearly communicated with us, and made sure our pups were taken care of while we were away. He sent frequent updates and was very professional. We really enjoyed having Corwin take care of our pups and would happy to have him do it again in the future!”

Bethany and Alex are absolutely amazing pet sitters! We have a large, furry family with three dogs ranging from extra-large to small, plus two very moody Maine Coon cats, each with their own very unique personalities. 😆 They are incredibly attentive, caring, and patient with all of our girls. They take the time to understand each of their personalities, routines, and individual needs, which gives us so much peace of mind whenever we’re away. We truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with our girls! We also love how wonderful they are about keeping us updated throughout their stay. The regular photos, videos, and messages showing us how everyone is doing make being away so much easier. Bethany and Alex are dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely love the animals they care for. We are so grateful to have found them and couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Connor took good care of our dog and sent photos of their time together. Due to an electric outage where we stayed at we were not able to get the photos till later. However it appears he took good care of our dog and our house was in good condition when we returned from vacation.
Dominic was such a pleasure to work with. Our fur babies were very comfortable and relaxed with him . Both of our fur babies have separation anxiety and we felt at ease, while we were away. Dominic even went above and beyond to get our dog , Domino a new squeaky toy. Boy did he love that. Thanks again Dominic! Denise G
Cassidy was great with our 5 month old puppy for a house sit while we had to be out of town for a few days. She sent pics and took him for walks and had plenty of playtime. She also left our house tidy - couldn’t even tell she was there. We’ll definitely have her back 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 North Gates 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 North Gates 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 North Gates 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.
