“Brittany & Megan watched our three dogs which is not an easy task! They are amazing communicators sending pictures and videos multiple times a day which made our 7 year old very happy! We came home to a clean house and three happy pups! I would highly recommend them and hope they can watch our pups again!”
“Danielle was an amazing house sitter for our two cats. She was on time, professional, friendly and our cats took to her very quickly. We received photos of them while we were away, and came home to find our house very tidy and the cats happy. We will definitely be looking to use her services again in the future.”
“Morgan was excellent! Struck the right balance of keeping us up to date without too much information so we could enjoy our trip. She sent plenty of pictures and really made us feel like our pups had someone who loved them almost as much as us taking care of them. I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone who needs their pups or house watched she was fantastic! We will definitely book with her in the future. P.S. our pups can be a little bit of a pain and she handled everything with finesse and grace. I can't express enough how appreciative we are that she was able to deal with their little quirks!”
“Stuart did an amazing job! Gizmo was well cared for and when he got into something on the street Stuart immediately called my vet to make sure he didn’t need to come in, then promptly checked in with me. Also left my apartment very clean!”
“Shelli was a great house sitter! She was on time, provided wonderful photos of her interactions with our dogs and clear communication while we were gone. We arrived home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would recommend as a house sitter and will hire again.”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time having John watch the boys and he is so great with them! They were excited and enjoyed their time with him. He gave us updates and pictures twice a day and followed the instructions we left. He even went above and beyond, getting more treats for our boys and doing a couple small tasks for us. We can't recommend John enough and will rebook in the future. Thank you!”
“This is the second time that Brooke has watched my two German Shepherd’s. She does a great job both house sitting and dog sitting. My pups are always tired and happy when I get home! Highly recommend!”
“Katelynn is a sweet and thoughtful sitter! She was very respectful of finding ways to help with our homecoming. She kept us informed and updated photos very well. Katelynn has a gift with animals and is missed at our home.”
“This is our second booking with Alexis. She did a great job again. Easy to get a hold of, and responds in a timely matter. She took care of our two boys and sent us updates. Our house was very clean when we cam back from our week trip. Would book again and again and again!!!”
“Grace did a great job watching our dog at our home while we were on vacation. She took good care of our dog, kept us well updated, and left the house so clean. You wouldn't believe shed stayed here a week!”
“Once again Kristen treated our baby girl with such love that I think she was sad when we walked through the door. Kristen has such a way with our diva. I appreciate that I can have total faith that Nori is in great hands when we are away.”
“So glad to have found someone I trust to take care of my kitties!! She always keeps me up to date on what’s going on and sends pictures. Makes the time away from them a little less stressful ❤️🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Brandy is an excellent communicator, keeping us up to date throughout her stay with our dog. She was very tender with our anxious pup and prioritized his exercise and play, even on rainy/muddy days. We trusted her in our home and returned to a tidy and clean house and a happy dog. Would definitely recommend and will book her again if the timing works out!”
“Tiana, once again, did a great job with our beloved beast, Walter the Cat. Will definitely use her again if she’s up to it. You can expect consistent updates, genuine care for your pet, and respect for your home.”

Brooke did a fantastic job house sitting with our shy dog. I really appreciated her positive attitude and willingness to meet the needs of our shy girl. Pictures and texts were awesome in helping us ensure our dog was doing okay. Additionally, she left our home as it was when we left. We will definitely invite Brooke back!
Satsuki did an amazing job watching Eleanor! As a self-proclaimed anxious, helicopter dog mom, I always dread finding new sitters for my baby. However, Satsuki's excellent communication and vibe completely put me at ease after our meet and greet. She gave me daily updates and let me know the exact moment Eleanor received her medication. I loved getting the frequent photos and mood updates throughout my trip! On top of taking perfect care of my place, she was even kind enough to pick up a package for me. Satsuki is basically a spaniel expert now and truly understands the unique, quirky nature of these velcro breeds. I highly recommend her!
Gerald was great — the dogs were super happy and relaxed with him. He took them to the dog park and lots of walks, and it sounded like a fun time for all. He is very communicative and responsive, and heeded my notes and instructions for the dogs. Overall I very much recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with Raven. She was a great communicator, kept our home clean and well cared for, and took such amazing care of our pup while we were away. She also sent lots of pictures of all the cuddles and walks, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girl was happy and in such good hands. We would absolutely use Raven again and highly recommend her!

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 O'Brien 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 O'Brien 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 O'Brien 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.
