“Laney was awesome! I would definitely hire her again. My 12 year old dog is quite shy with new people. Laney was patient, communicated great, and sent me daily updates on how Stella was doing. She also kept my house clean and tidy while staying at my house.”
About: I've been pet sitting for some family friends for the last 5 years and have watched dogs of various breeds for 4 different families. Watching both dogs and just recently in the last year cats. So far I've watched up to 3 dogs at a time. I'm happy to take them out for walks, make sure that they go to the bathroom, that they've eaten, medicine taken, and their water bowls are always filled. I've watched both senior dogs and young dogs. If your sweet fur child has any need any specific needs that need to be followed just let me know and I'll make sure it's done! I'll also make sure to give you updates on anything that happens! Like when I get to your place, when I'm about to leave, if your furry friend gets sick, has an accident, or just general update how well they're doing. I'm also working to get a pet cpr certification. I do ask that before I watch your furry buddy that I come over for a short visit before the scheduled date to meet your furry friend, so you and your furry friend can both trust me, and we can discuss any specific details and get a key to your house if needed. I'm a single game developer and artist who works from home. So I've got a good amount of free time throughout the day, where I can stop working and drive over to help out if your in need of any. If your someone that works an early morning shift and you need someone at your house by 6 to 7 AM at the latest to let your dogs go to the bathroom, make sure they're fed, medicine taken, or take them out for a short walk. I can be there. I can promise you that I'm a rule follower. If you tell me not to do something I won't do it. If I am unsure of something I can promise you that I'll send you a text or give you a call to get your input on whatever it is that I'm unsure of. I'll also make sure to give updates, and let you know when I've arrived and when I'm leaving. I'll also make sure to let you know if any accidents happen, and clean up any mess that may happen!
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my 2 older dogs. She gave them meds, made sure my oldest one ate, and kept the diaper on him. She was reliable about coming to my house and staying overnight, and sent pics each day. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again!”
“Joshua did amazing watching our two dogs. They are super energetic and playful and he was able to keep them worn out by the end of each day. He took very good care with their regimented feeding and sleeping schedule. Would definitely recommend.”
“Zoey went above and beyond for my fur babies! My Great Dane was especially anxious while we were gone, and Zoey took extra time and patience with her to help soothe her anxiety ❤️. We feel so lucky to have found someone we can truly rely on for our travels, we were able to enjoy ourselves so much more knowing she was with them.”
About: I have had dogs since I was eight years old! When it comes to family and friends, I have had the opportunity to dog sit and care for their pets whenever they need! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and love to connect with all kinds of animals! I’m currently working a part-time job! I am available after 2:30pm everyday or earlier! I am also available on the weekends for the majority of the day! I have a fenced in backyard along with 2 large breed dogs who live with me! I live less than 10 minutes from a park that allows all breeds of dogs where I love to walk my own large breed dogs!
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication reminders, and plenty of love and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so both you and your pet can feel comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I’m available for pet care on Saturdays and Sundays, when I have the most flexibility to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m unavailable Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM due to my regular work schedule. Weekends allow me to provide dependable and attentive care while keeping your pet’s routine comfortable and consistent. I have a spacious, unfenced backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and plenty of room to stretch and play. For safety, I always supervise pets outdoors and use a leash or other appropriate restraint when needed. Inside my home, I provide a comfortable, calm, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles.
About: Let me take of your pets while you are away. Willing to house sit if you like to keep your pets in their environment (and actually stay with your pet overnight at your request). They are also welcome at my home where I am always reachable and able to keep an eye on them at all times. This is my full time job so you do not have to worry about your pets getting the attention they deserve. I want to help make your pet feel at ease and within their same routine schedule while you are away. I have no issues staying with your pet overnight during a house sit or any accommodation you request! I am able to be with the pets 24/7. I work from home and will be able to give them the attention and care that they need. The pets are allowed to roam the house and spend time in the yard. I will take them for walks if they are boarded and make sure that they follow any specific care instructions. If you would like me to stay at your place then I can follow any routines that you have in place. I am also available to stay overnight if you prefer supervision full-time.
“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”
“We had an amazing experience with Jennifer!! Our pup so well taken care of. She took care of our dog, cats and home like it was her own! I highly recommend her for your next trip away! We have already booked again with her!”
“I can not say enough about how well Jana did. She took such good care of my babies, even while one was very sick. I feel so lucky to have had her with them during this time!”
“They are absolutely phenomenal! Very responsive to messages and coordination of the meet and greet to start. Wonderful in the meet and greet with the dogs(3). We knew leaving them for the weekend would be just fine. We received so many photos of them playing and enjoying the dog vacation. Arriving back to our house it was clean and tidy. The same way we had left it. I’d recommend Rey and Jonathan to everyone.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. I’ve worked with a variety of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and bearded dragons. I'm currently in grad school so I work during the day. Weekends work best but I can also do weekdays; just ask! I'm happy to discuss scheduling with you. I do not care for pets in my home, but for my clients' homes, I make sure that the house is in perfect order when my client returns.
“Met Kaylee before the dog sitting. For her to meet the dogs. Kaylee was very good with meeting the dogs and understanding expectations. Kaylee is responsible. This young lady has good life experience. At first met with the dogs they settled right in with her. I’ll use her again.”

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 Olivia 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 Olivia 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 Olivia 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!

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 .

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.
