“Latasha was wonderful! All the cats loved her as soon as they met her. She has a natural talent when it comes to getting to know your pets. She sent pictures of our cats to us everyday on vacation and was super responsive on her phone when we wanted to see our pets. It was such a relief knowing that she was here with them. One of the things I appreciated the most was that when we got here it was as clean as when we left it. She took all the notes and she performed the tasks laid out to her exactly like we did with the cats. She also helped keep them on their schedule by following their feeding times. Latasha played with them which is honestly more than I do sometimes. They may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention lol. Each day she would send images but she'd also send a little story or observation of the cat. That was nice because it helped us to know that they were acting in their usual ways and not sad that we were gone and missed us. I would 1000% book Latasha again. If you've never had a cat sitter (we hadn't) she will answer all your questions and really set your nerves at ease.”
“Sydney was amazing! She sent us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were gone, which we loved. She also cleaned and started laundry for us, which was absolutely incredible to come home too. We would absolutely recommend Sydney and use her again!”
“Alex helped watch our dogs last minute after our other dog sitter canceled. Very thankful they were available to help! Sent lots of pictures of Betty and Luna, could tell they were very well taken care of. Would use Alex again!”
“Haley is a phenomenal dog sitter, we were extremely pleased with her attention to detail and gentleness with our very shy and excitable pit bull. She is a wonderful communicator and spent a lot of quality time with our dog. I will absolutely refer her as a pet sitter to any friend in need.”
“Max was extremely patient and attentive with our senior dog. He left the house clean and Jeffrey was a happy boy when we got home - accident-free! Thanks for keeping Jeffrey calm and relaxed. :)”
“We could not have been more thrilled to have Cynthia take care or Diesel. Because of his age and, tremendous anxiety we were nervous leaving him. Diesel usually goes with us everywhere. We had one day of our own anxiety and then knew he was in great hands! We received so many pictures and updates on how he was eating, sleeping and getting his medications. We will definitely use Cynthia again if we have to go out of town without him or just a day out without worry.”
“Alicia did a phenomenal job watching our pups, Winnie and Daisy. She was attentive, provided regular updates and made us feel at ease while we were away. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience!”
“Tori was amazing with all four of our animals (two dogs and two cats). Our dogs can be a challenge and she successfully won them over with patience and treats. Her daily pictures and updates allowed us to enjoy our vacation much more than we expected before discovering Rover and meeting Tori.”
“Sarah was excellent!! She was a pleasure to plan with and a great communicator. She left the house clean and was resourceful when she needed to find things without my help. And of course she did a great job tending to and loving in our pups!! Would definitely book her again!!”
“Gabrielle was just the right amount of communicative! She took great care of our dog while we were away and the house looked great. Would definitely book again.”
“Madyson was the sweetest sitter we have had ever! She really was loving to our pup and considerate of our wishes re the house sitting. We will definitely book her again if we can.”
“Kristen was awesome! Set up a time to come and meet the dogs ahead of time and kept us updated with pictures every day. Would absolutely have her watch our place and pups again!”
“Heather is amazing! This is the second time that we hired her to watch our two dogs while we were away. Our 5 year-old border collie had (his first) grand mal seizure while outside with her and she was calm and reassuring all while protecting his head from the concrete. She reached out to ask me if he had ever had a seizure (which to our knowledge he had not had) and after talking I told her I would check our Ring camera to see if it recorded it. Sure enough the whole thing was recorded and we were so grateful with how well Heather handled Marlo. On top of that Heather had to clean up after our GSD had diarrhea in the house (likely stress) and worked hard to leave everything clean and neat. We highly recommend her and will definitely request Heather to stay here next time- but hopefully for a less eventful visit!”
“Lucia was wonderful. I had to make a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate that which was a major stress relief. She took good care of care of my pets and was easy to work with. Would recommend and would rehire in the future!”

“This was the first time we used Isabella and were very happy with her service. It was a little hard for her as she had to take over for the last 3 days from another sitter but she was very cooperative and handled it well! I liked that she sent us pictures and a note of all the the things she did before leaving. I will definitely use Isabella again!”
“Erin was wonderful with our two pups, who tend to struggle when we leave, but adjusted to her with ease. She regularly communicated and really enjoyed our dogs. She really centered her focus and care on our dogs and their needs which gave us the reassurance we needed to enjoy our trip. She took great care of our home too. We will absolutely book her again.”

“Jess stayed with our dog and cat and took such thoughtful care of both. They were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her the entire time. Her communication was perfect - checking in when needed and sending great pictures that gave us total peace of mind. Coming home to calm pets and a tidy house was wonderful. We would absolutely book her again.”

Latasha was wonderful with our pets, Pepper and Lily, during the 5 days she cared for them. She provided regular updates and kept us informed about how they were doing, including their food intake, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was very attentive to both of their individual needs. Lily is an indoor/outdoor cat who likes to spend time outside during the day, and Latasha was very accommodating to her routine while making sure Lily was safely inside by nighttime. She also took great care of Pepper and made sure both of our pets were comfortable and well cared for. We also really appreciated how thoughtful she was with our home. She kept everything clean and tidy, brought in our mail, and even left a few little goodies for us when we returned, which was such a sweet surprise! Latasha was caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly went above and beyond. We felt very comfortable knowing Pepper and Lily were in her care, and we would absolutely have her sit for them again. Highly recommend Latasha!
Another fabulous pet sitting experience with Haley. She’s amazing, our dogs love her and she’s so reliable which means we can relax when we’re away thanks to her. My husband and I both highly recommend her. You’ll be glad you gave her a chance if you haven’t used her already.
Kelscey is very kind, thorough and great with our German Shepherds. She was professional, communicative and thoughtful with the small details when it came to caring for our fur babies. Our dogs can be a lot but she handled them excellently. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know looking for a pet sitter.
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Jordan was incredibly accommodating, even when I miscommunicated a few things, and was always kind and understanding. What impressed me most was the time and patience she took to earn the trust of both of my cats. One of my cats is very shy and takes a while to warm up to people, while my other cat can be… a little mean! 😅 She took the time to get to know them both and made sure they were comfortable and cared for in a way that worked for each of them. She also sent plenty of photos and updates, which made me feel so much more relaxed about being away from my cats. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and patient cat sitter. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
I came home to a happy dog and a clean house, this was great. Max took good care of my senior dog while we were away and also tended to a couple domestic surprises that occurred while we were gone, all with common sense and grace. Would definitely do this again.
Virginia did an outstanding job caring for my 2 pups in my home while I was away. One of my pets has ongoing health issues, and Virginia tended to her with care and kindness, while ensuring the other had plenty of cuddle time. Apt was tidy upon my return, which I appreciated. I shall definitely be booking Virginia for all my out of town trips if possible.

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 Olivette 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 Olivette 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 Olivette 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.
