“Amanda was great - she stayed in our home and kept me informed about my dog Hank. She sent pictures and videos each day and was responsive to texts. Hank is an 80 lb lap dog, and she must have given him lots of love. When I got home, he seemed very happy, so she did her job well! Will definitely hire her again!”
“Alex is absolutely wonderful! My fur babies loved her and she took such wonderful care of my home. She was communicative and even went above and beyond to water my plants. I have nothing but wonderful things to say and definitely plan to use her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We booked a last minute travel and we were looking for someone to take care of our baby girl in our home, Lindsey got back to us quick, and was available. Lindsey is responsible, punctual and the most important, Lilica loved her! She sent us pictures of Lilica, we loved it, we could enjoy our travel knowing Lilica was in good hands! I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a great petsitter to take care of your furry friend while you are away! Thanks again Lindsey, Lilica misses you! Hope to see you again anytime soon!”
“My new go-to dog sitter. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences on Rover, especially having a 70 pound highly anxious lab which most people can’t handle or are afraid of. Safe to say I was little anxious leaving them (lab + two cats) alone for a few days on break, however, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Hes basically with the babies 24/7 which is exactly what I needed. He’s flexible which helps if you don’t have a steady schedule. Overall a positive experience and will be booking with him again. All my babies were in good hands and it honestly seem like they didn’t miss me very much lol.”
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
About: I have watched a friend’s mature dog in her home while a family member was hospitalized. I have always had rescue animals in my home it is always been a priority for me to love animals and treat them with the respect that is so well-deserved. I have two rescue kitties that I care for every day. I am semi retired, spend special time with my fur babies and exercise every day. I would like to rescue a dog, but if I could spend time and love other people's pets, it would be a very rewarding experience. Since I have two kitties, I prefer to care for pets in the clients homes. My one kitty is 16 years old and I don’t want to subject her to change an environment. Every morning, I am greeted by my kitties, before eating breakfast I give them their morning treats. After exercising in the afternoon, it is dinner time for them so I feed them, they nap and then we bond later in the evening, while one sits near me and the other one sits on my lap. Having cared for several dogs in the past, I take them for walks, engage in playtime and take time to bond. At one point in my lifetime I had three rescue dogs who all got along famously. They were an extension of my family and sadly, eventually passed from old age. I will love your dogs in the same way and treat them with kindness and respect. Their comfort and security are my main concern, along with your peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and secure.
“Daniel was great with the fur babies. He was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Both babies are long haired and he cleaned up all the leaves they brought in. He left the house cleaner then when he arrived.”
“Caitlin always takes such great care of our babies! She is great at giving updates and I always have such peace of mind leaving my girls with her. She is also a great house guest and leaves our house spotless every time. Our fur babies are always so calm and happy when we return and we can tell that they have been well cared for and loved on. I definitely highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter! 😊”
About: Just a country girl who's helped care for everything from livestock, household pets, to feathered friends! I'm looking forward to meeting your pet! I currently work full time and have one day off during the week & weekend free. I'm free in the evenings after 5:30 on the week days. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks (if needed), and a safe, clean environment. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to follow detailed care instructions, administer basic medications if needed, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident while you're away.
About: With 5+ years of experience caring for animals and two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. As a local graduate student, I’m responsible, organized, and dependable, and I lead an active lifestyle that’s perfect for keeping pups happy with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they feel cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll provide personalized care, patience, and lots of love. 🐾💕 As a current graduate student, I attend classes on campus Monday through Friday, so I’m available for pet sitting on weekdays after 3 PM and have more flexibility on weekends! I’m happy to work with your schedule to find a time that works best for you and your pup. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities!

“Dana wooed all seven of our animals who warmed to her immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dogs and kitties and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly personable, kind, and an absolute sweetie—and our animals absolutely loved her! She kept us updated on how everyone was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious how comfortable and happy our pets were with her. We would absolutely trust her with our fur babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with animals! ❤️🐾”
“I have not left one of my pups to travel in over a year. She had her gall bladder removed June 2025 and was shortly thereafter diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, so I was scared to leave her, but I had a wedding in Charleston to go to, so I contacted Nikki. She came over and met the girls and I liked her a lot. She was on time the day I was leaving. She left the house just like she found it. She texted me frequesnt updates and pictures. She made my short trip to Charlestion much less stressful. I will definiotely reach out to Nikki the next time I need someone to stay at my house with the pups.”
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats since i was a kid, i treat our animals with love. Though theyre a little silly sometimes i still love em' I dont do anything really so i can chill at the house and watch them all day for you, i really dont mind at all. Id care for anyones pets as if they were my own. In my own home i absolutely adore my animals and love them to death. One hundred percent a must to let them potty and feed them of course.
About: I’ve taken care of majority of species for years. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats at home, so i definitely am comfortable with them. I work either daily from 12-2:30 then 5:30-8:30 at one job or i work 7ish-3:30ish ( schedule varies) I have downtime the rest of the day. My animals get fed daily before work and 5pm daily. My dogs are walked 3-4 times a day and fed twice. We let them out just not in the cats room. Cats free roam other than the kitten when we are not home. They are fed twice a day. i clean out the litter box every other day.
About: I’ve always been someone that animals naturally warm up to because I’m calm, patient, attentive, and consistent. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My background has taught me the importance of routines, observation, patience, and communication, which translates really well into caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals who need a gentler pace, and pets who may need extra reassurance or structure. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, loving, and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship without feeling rushed. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, weekends, and check-ins throughout the day when needed. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if a pet needs extra comfort or patience. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure at all times, and I always keep pets supervised during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and throughout college I cared for a wide variety of breeds (i.e doodles, bull dogs, pitbulls,etc), from boarding pets in my own home to drop-in check-ups. I’m comfortable with dogs of all energy levels and ages, with experience caring for pets ages 2 to 8 and have administered medicine via eye drops & orally. In my free time, I spend time at the SPCA playing with and socializing animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, giving me wide availability throughout the day, including mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give your pet consistent, unhurried care and accommodate last-minute requests. If my availability changes in the future, I’ll communicate early and make sure any existing commitments are fully covered. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Before any service, I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet so your pet can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine, personality, and any special needs. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep food, water, and litter or potty areas clean, and I’m comfortable giving medications as directed. On walks, I always use a secure leash, check that collars and harnesses fit properly, and stay alert around traffic, wildlife, and other dogs. I will send photos and text updates after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for

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 Olivers Crossroads 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 Olivers Crossroads 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 Olivers Crossroads 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.
