“Annie was amazing! She took great care of our pets and our house, was a great communicator and send the sweetest photos of our furry family members while we were away. I literally cannot recommend her enough!”
“This is our second time using Zoe and she is great! She does everything we ask and more. She always leaves our house in excellent condition and our pup is very happy upon our return! She sends daily updates with a lot of photos which we love to see while traveling. We will definitely reach out to Zoe for any future needs!”
“Quinn did an excellent job caring for my young puppy, Luna, while I was at work. Since she is still very small, I was initially concerned about leaving her, but I felt completely at ease knowing she was in his care. He followed my instructions and care plan closely, and when I returned home, Luna was happy and relaxed. Quinn was also easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter.”
“My very timid dog had an enjoyable evening with her first time with Maisie. Maisie has a calm and pleasant way that made my dog comfortable in her presence. I hope Maisie will be available to spend more time with my dog in the future.”
“Brianna is the best!!! Our pups are pretty crazy and she did so amazing with them. Our puppy wanted to go home with her!! Also I came home to all of our laundry folded which was definitely not expected at all and was the sweetest thing ever!!!!! Highly, highly recommend- we will definitely be booking again!!”
“Chloe took great care of my cat! When I returned home from out of town, my girl seemed totally happy. I get anxious being apart from my cat, but Chloe communicated well and made me feel completely at ease being away from her.”
“Louise watched my dog a while back when Kora had several injuries that required activity restrictions, and Louise did an awesome job sticking to them, sending me updates, and just hanging out and spending time with Kora.”
“April was super kind, patient, communicative, and attentive. Our dog was happy and had all her needs met when we got back! April also left our house quite clean and cared for our gardens. Thanks, April. We'd be happy to have you as a sitter again!”
“Amber did a wonderful job with our two kitties! She kept us posted daily on how they were doing and sent cute pictures of them!! We would definitely call on Amber again to care for our pets!!!”
“Logan was outstanding! Our dog got to go on lots of adventures and was very active. Her communication was top notch! She was very respectful to our home as well. We hope to book her for all of our future trips!”
“Linda was great! Typically when I return from being away, Jax has severe separation anxiety but his demeanor was completely different when I returned. He was happy to see me but I could tell he was well loved while I was gone. That is the most important aspect I look for when using a care giver. My bonus was the house was spotless. I will be using Linda as often as I can get her.”
“Corbin is a truly great pet + house sitter, and we feel so lucky to have found him! He took great care of our pup and our home while we were away for a week. He checked-in regularly with photos and updates, and responded promptly whenever we reached out. He is very professional, kind, and overall just seems like a great person. He left our place very clean and tidy, and our pup really seemed to bond with him well as a new best friend. We would gladly recommend Corbin’s services, and look forward to working with him again soon.”
“Hannah was great! This was our first time leaving our girls with someone other than friends and they helped us feel assured that things would go smoothly (and they did!).”
“Georgina is a fantastic dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua. He warmed up quickly to Georgina and she sent me lots of photos and updates, which I appreciated! I could tell he was well taken care of while we were gone! She also kept the house clean and went above and beyond and washed the sheets at the end of her stay. I will definitely book Georgina again in the future!!”
“I couldn't recommend Haley highly enough. It's hard to find people you trust and can rely on - and with Haley you get both. (Plus daily photos and great communication.) She's one of the only people we will have watch our dogs. We appreciate you!”
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”

Haley was wonderful! She took great care of my pets and home while I was out of town. She was very responsible with the medication and extra care one of my dogs needed. Haley sent photos and updates daily. She tidied up the house before I returned home which I really appreciated. I would definitely hire her again.
This is our second time using Zoe and she is great! She does everything we ask and more. She always leaves our house in excellent condition and our pup is very happy upon our return! She sends daily updates with a lot of photos which we love to see while traveling. We will definitely reach out to Zoe for any future needs!
Abigail was wonderful! My pet-sitting plans changed at the very last minute, and she seriously saved the day. She was able to house-sit my dog and two cats on short notice and was so accommodating about stopping by beforehand to meet everyone and grab the keys. She sent me a daily update, which made me feel so much better while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my little crew had someone there with them and were being well taken care of. She was also super respectful of my home. I’d absolutely book with Abigail again!

Amber was amazing for our 2 week trip abroad! She went out of her way to come by twice beforehand to meet the pets and check out the house, which really helped ease our nerves about leaving them. Came home to happy animals and a spotless house. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again!
Cora was wonderful and Gus was well taken care of all weekend. She made sure to send frequent updates on how he was doing, got his favorite game of fetch in (even with crappy weather), and went out of her way to drop him off at home periodically for some breaks since we lived conveniently close by. This was a last minute request and we were so grateful he was in good hands.

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 Orchard Homes 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 Orchard Homes 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 Orchard Homes 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.
