“Jovelle always takes the best care of my pets and they are so happy when she is here. I get lots of updates and great photos and everything is tidy and just as I left it when I get home.”
“Ashley is absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home with Manchas for 15 days while we were on vacation, and she did an incredible job. She kept us updated every day with pictures and videos and always let us know how Manchas was doing and what they were up to. We truly appreciate everything she did and would 100% recommend her without hesitation. Thank you so much, Ashley—you’re awesome! Manchitas loves you just as much as we do 💕🐾”
“Another amazing housesitting stay for our 3 pups! We reached out last minute when our first human baby decided to make her grand entrance to the world earlier than expected and are just so grateful our pups got to be cared for by Antonio again. He truly takes care of our pups as if they are his own and his willingness AND ability to accommodate whatever might come up for them means so much to my family! Thank you, Antonio!”
“Heather took great care of our three high maintenance dogs! We've got two young, active dogs and an old grandpa guy. Lots of medications and different diets for everyone. Heather took great care of everyone and met everyone's individual needs! We got picture updates and everyone always looked loved and happy. We will hire Heather again for sure.”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, from fostering puppies and kittens from the animal shelter to raising many dogs and cats! My family raised me to be an animal lover as we care for animals in such a different way. I have done overnight sittings, walkings, and day care visits for many friends and family and decided to join here to expand my abilities! I love getting to know all different kinds of animals and being able to provide them the love and care they need while their owners are away. I am currently going to start sonography school and I am not able to work a full-time job as a result I would love to watch your babies.I usually like to go for walks so it would be easy to fit any animal in my schedule as well! I have a big teddy bear of a dog that is the most spoiled rescue dog ever! If i am staying at the owners house I let them feel comfortable sleeping with me and I always clean up after myself if at someone else’s house and make sure to always keep the house tidy!
About: I am 20 years old and I am a positive outgoing guy trying to earn some extra money on the side before I transfer to a university. I grew up with a family dog and every morning, I would take him to the dog park and let him socialize and play. We would play fetch all the time and my dad and I used to take him to the tennis courts. And he would essentially run around the court like a maniac trying to catch the ball while we were rallying. The most important thing you should know though is that I know how to let your dog have a great time, while at the same time, teach him obedience. I am also available mainly in the mornings.
“Fiona was great with nightly updates and pictures of our pups. She even made sure to leave our house in excellent shape when she left. We look forward to booking with her again.”
About: I’m a dog mom plus 10 years of experience. Petsitting is not just a job_ its a great way to bond with the animals and give them the love and attention they need while their owners are away. Comfort, lots of love care and safety is a priority! The daily schedule would start with feeding time at 7am breakfast. Midday play time in the backyard. Dinner time is 5pm. Fresh water is always available indoor/outdoor. Lots of playtime and I captured videos and pictures and sent to owners daily. Since I have Bruce at the house taking care of daily needs and spending some quality playtime. I have fenced in the backyard with lots of room for dogs to run around and get proper exercise.
About: Your dog will stay on our private ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support. I am not taking on reactive/aggressive dogs at this time unless they can be kenneled outside of the home. Reach out to discuss. Full time dog boarder and trainer working from home. I provide 24/7 care as if your dog was one of my own. Pickup and drop off hours in morning or evening. Very limited afternoon pickup/drop off availability. 5 acres fully fenced in along with smaller fenced in play yards. Home is air conditioned. Dogs can either exercise on the full property if recall trained or in one of the smaller, 6ft tall play yard areas if they need a smaller enclosed area.
About: I strive to provide a welcoming, enriching home away from home for your dog. To ensure the best care possible, I only accept up to 2 dogs at a time. You can expect regular updates throughout your pup’s stay. Safety is a top priority. I check my yard regularly for potential hazards and do paw checks for foxtails after every walk. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for zoomies. Dogs can explore the garden, sunbathe on the grass, or lounge under the shaded pergola. Pets are welcome on the couch, and I also have extra dog beds and an indoor dog house for pups who prefer a little more personal space. My experience: I have a 6yo maltipoo named Chewy and 14yo shihtzu named Joey. They are very respectful of other dogs’ personal space. I trained Chewy using positive reinforcement and taught him many tricks and commands. I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 15. My senior dog experience includes fostering one who was adopted into her forever home and providing long-term care for two others. I’m very comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and grooming. Rover is a side hobby, and I ask for a little advance notice so I can prepare for my doggie guest. I follow the schedule provided by the paw-parents. If none is given then it’s usually a morning potty break, breakfast, walk, mid day potty break, dinner, and potty before bedtime. Playtime is sprinkled throughout the day or I may incorporate it with their meal time like food in a puzzle toy. I tailor care to each dog’s needs. Every day includes physical exercise or mental stimulation such as daily walks, fetch, tug-of-war, command training, puzzle toys. Let me know how your preferences during the Meet & Greet so I can match your dog’s routine.
“Cristal and Aiden were fabulous house and pet sitters while we went to Europe for Christmas. They sent pictures every day, took our little Margot for walks and on errands and we returned to a clean home and happy dog. We’ve found trusted partners to allow us the freedom to go away.”

About: Warm cozy environment -Pick up and drop off available if needed low rate and free in local area.

About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!
About: I helped my parents take care of there friends dogs since I was 8 and they've taught me a lot. Also my mom worked at Petco and worked in animal care and she told me and taught me what she's learned from her experience at work with cats and other animals. I've been currently looking for a job and havent had any luck so I have a lot of free time on my hands weekdays and weekends!! When we went to go sit my parents friends dogs we would feed them every morning and evening and then let them run around in the backyard they had a doggie door in their bedroom so for the most part the dogs had access to the bathroom to go potty and come and go as they please. But when we hung out in the living room with them since there was no access to a doggy door we would let them out around 3-4 times per day we would also walk them in the morning and sunset and feed them either before or after there walk depending on their actions and vibes
“Elaine was wonderful in every way. She is punctual, reliable, communicative, respectful of our house, and most importantly, she took excellent care of our little dog, which requires a lot of attention and care. She sent us detailed updates and pictures every day. We found a happy dog and a clean house. We are very pleased to have found her. After many years of hiring pet sitters, this has been our most positive experience. Thank you again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nortonville
I had a great experience with this sitter! Antonio was so nice and responsive, keeping me updated throughout the stay. The pups were clearly well taken care of and happy. He left the house clean and followed instructions provided. Will definitely be using Antonio again!
Antonio and his partner were absolutely wonderful with my dog! My pup is a high energy 120+ lb rescue with past negative experiences with humans so he has a tendency to be very slow to trust new people. He picks up on fear or hesitation immediately, which usually makes him leery. From the start, Antonio was patient, calm, and let my dog approach at his own pace until he felt safe. To my surprise, my dog took to both Antonio and his partner right away! They are warm, gentle, and remarkably perceptive, adjusting their approach to match the dog's needs. It is clear they genuinely love animals, and I think dogs pick up on that authentic energy. Because they were able to tag-team, they kept my dog’s routine consistent and ensured he was never left alone for long. They played with him, sent regular updates and photos, responded quickly, and even got him some new toys. The video they sent the first day gave me complete peace of mind and I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. I am so grateful for this experience and cannot recommend Antonio enough!

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 Nortonville 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 Nortonville 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 Nortonville 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!

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.
