“Jovelle took great care of pup while we were away. She was a great communicator and always replied promptly. She left our home very clean too. I’d definitely hire Jovelle again!”
“Paulo has been fantastic. My lil guy shadow is timid and fearful therefore he barks a lot and can be tough to befriend but Paulo remained persistent and kind. Him and shadow are on their way to best friend status. Other news is that he was punctual and so friendly. He’s easy to work with. I will work with him again.”
“If I could give Myra, and her daughter, Victoria, 27 stars, I would! The short version: Hire her. Here's the long version: I am, by every benchmark, a crazy dog mom. I am way too particular about our dogs' food, I am overly cautious about their safety, I'm surprised our pet insurance company hasn't dropped us by now due to all the vet visits, and we pay to have the dogs walked Monday through Friday to ensure their happiness. Leaving our dogs is nearly traumatic for me. I am never able to actually enjoy "vacations" because I worry about them the whole time. But not this time... Myra and her daughter, Victoria, recently stayed with our dogs in our home for a week. They tag-teamed. There was always someone here with our dogs. Before the trip, Myra came over to meet the dogs. They immediately loved her. She asked insightful questions and made sure she understood everything that was important to us while we were away. She even came a second time with Victoria to meet the dogs. They loved her too. True to my crazy dog mom moniker, I left an entire 20+ page binder with detailed directions for every day we'd be away. Every day, step-by-step. Not only did Myra and Victoria follow every instruction to a T, they went above and beyond by filling our bird water, setting out seeds and peanuts for the squirrels, changing the outdoor dog water bowls, and watering my garden, every single day that we were gone. Our critters and my plants wouldn't have known I was even away. They treated our home with respect and care. I think it was cleaner when we returned home than before we left. Several times a day, Myra sent us photos of the dogs. They didn't feel like the standard proof-of-life photos. The dogs looked legitimately happy and carefree, and her messages carried her own joy in their wacky behavior. While they were here, they bestowed so much love and care on our dogs. Our rambunctious Aussie-mix can be a challenge, and instead of becoming frustrated with her, they seemed tickled by her goofiness. They made sure our newly adopted one-eyed dog was always safe. This same dog has some food resource guarding issues, and they were very careful about separating the dogs during meals. Our dogs compete for first position on walks and pull like sled dogs. At my request, Myra walked them separately, one at a time. This was twice the work for her. I honestly feel terrible that I asked so much of them while we were away. And when I reiterated this to her upon our return, she simply said nothing was out of the ordinary for her, and she loved being here with our dogs. I would be honored if Myra and Victoria would be willing to sit with our dogs again. If you are lucky enough to have them fit you into their schedule, I'm sure you'll feel the same.”
“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!”
“Sydney was very sweet with my pets and sent me pictures to let me know my cat was thriving while I was away. She was communicative and responsible, following all my instructions. I will definitely use her again!”
“Ashley was totally amazing with Manchitas, we left for 3 days and she took care of her very well. She played with her, she walked with her making sure the temperature was not too hot, she gave her all food and medien she needed during the day. And the best part she was most of the time with her in the house. Thanks to her I had an amazing short vacation with my family♥️ thank you so much Ashley , I will totally hire you again. You are amazing 🤩”
“The best sitters in the world! Mariam and Dominic are incredible and give us peace of mind when we need to leave our pup behind knowing he’s in such great care. They go above and beyond in all aspects and we won’t use any other sitters because we and our dog are so spoiled!”
“This was our second time having Isaiah housesit for us. He was very attentive to our dog, leopard gecko, and hermit crab, and I trust him to take good care of our pets and our house while we're gone.”
“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”
“Becca is the absolute best! Not only do our doggies love her, but her responsiveness, professionalism, and sheer adoration for fur babies makes her the perfect pet sitter. We have used Becca’s services several times now, and each time the dogs are returned happy and exhausted. Becca is friendly and compassionate, and would be an excellent sitter for any animal of any age. She has also helped train my 6 month old puppy, and wow what a difference it has made! Thank you for everything, Becca, you are a rock star!!!”

“Cristal took excellent care of our sweet, anxious doggie. She sent lots of pictures and let us know how Clara was doing. When we returned, the house was clean and orderly. She took excellent care of our dog and our house. We have already booked Cristal again!”

“Elaine did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Jackson. I happen to be blind and Jackson is from Guide Dogs For The Blind so he’s pretty special to me and our family. Elaine followed all of our instructions perfectly and both Jackson and Our home were in great shape and ready for us when we returned home. I highly recommend Elaine to anybody looking for a very professional and experienced home in Dog Sitter.”

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!
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.
