“Noah is the best!! We had a friend cancel on us and he came through last minute to house and pet sit. It was our first time booking on Rover and we were a tad nervous to leave our pets and house with someone we didn't know, but were so at ease once we met him. Our pets loved him and he left our house in perfect shape. 10/10 recommend booking him!”
“Madison is the BEST! She had great communication and was great with our dogs , they seemed sleepy and content when we got home :). She also took care of our home and garden with love”
“Joy was wonderful! It is clear she has a passion for all animals. I booked her for house sitting in my home for 5 days and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. My two dogs are both bully breeds and can sometimes be a little more difficult but Joy did perfect! During our meet and greet she was very friendly and respectful, and took diligent notes on each of the dogs preferences as well as any preferences I had for them and my home. She played with them and exercised them daily, and made sure they were both loved up on just the way each of them likes while I was away. Each dog has a very different personality and she catered to each of their individual personalities and preferences so they could remain stress free while I was away. She was very communicative and responded right away if I needed to get ahold of her or had any questions at all. She sent me lots of pictures at my request as well so I didn’t have to miss my sweet fur babies as much. When I arrived home my dogs were happy, well taken care of and fed. My home was clean and well taken care of as well. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of breeds and sizes of dogs and cats! I am a certified pet groomer who has also worked as a kennel technician, Doggy daycare attendant, and dog bather. I am currently self employed and have very open availability! I can work around your schedule! May have some days unavailable due to doctors appointments! I will keep your pets company, take them on walks, and treat your home as if it was my own! A clean safe environment is always my top priority!
About: I have been around dogs since I was in diapers, that's where my love of all things furry started! I can make sure they're fed and watered but the real fun is the playing and going for walks. I can also do training if they're is anything you want to work on with your pup. I have experience with senior dogs as well and I can give medications if needed. If your pup has any special needs please let me know and I will do my best to make sure they are well taken care of while you're away. I am currently job free so there is plenty of time for me to play and care for your pups! I am available for short stays but longer stays I will have to break the visit up so I can care for my babies at home, this break would be a mid day break only up to about 4 hours. I currently can not care for your babies in my own home since I don't have a yard or a safe outdoor area for them to play in as well as having two cats who have never met a dog. I prefer to play on the safe side when it comes to your pups and not take any risks I don't have to. I am available for in (your) home sitting though and will have no problem getting there.
About: For 15+ years, I have house sat with animals for friends and around the neighborhood! I have a lot of experience with going for walks, giving meditation, feeding/water, and even giving baths! I currently have three dogs right now! I currently work overnights and I seem to have a ton of energy for the first few hours of the morning when I get off. I’d love to use that energy for good! I’m available for any and all pet care from 9am-7pm everyday! I have a fenced in gate with a great yard for my three small dogs. Just to keep order and the occasional accident in one area, they have “cages” (it’s kind of hidden as an entertainment center) with tons of bedding! They are on a daily feeding routine with vitamins in the morning! In the evening after dinner about 3 times a week I take all three on a walk around my neighborhood!
About: Kind, caring, responsible adult with experience caring for various animals and/Or houses. Very professional and clean sitter looking for opportunities to work with similar clients. I am newly retired from 9-5 work and I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to spend time loving on your pets. I can accommodate any schedule or needs that you have for your pet, in your home. I prefer small to medium pets but am open to any pets that are easy to care for
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 4 we recently just had to put down our 15 year old pit Bull. I have a 10 year old pit mix that I hold near my heart. I hope as you look at my profile and see me you also believe that I will treat your dog as one of my own and give them the best care while you are away. As of right now I work from home, so that means I am free all day to give your dog the love and care they deserve! I do not have a fenced in yard but i am a couple blocks down from a dog friendly park that we could walk to or even just play in the spacious back yard. I also have a friendly fur baby who would love making a new friend.
“I’m giving her four stars because I truly appreciated her stepping in at the last minute when my original sitter canceled. She also went above and beyond helping with my pool, including draining excess water. A few things concerned me when I returned. My blinds had been chewed, and the food in my puppy Bosco’s bowl appeared to be adult dog food. The adult dogs’ food bin was also empty despite having additional food available, so I was unsure whether everyone received the correct food. I had left detailed written feeding instructions. The house felt very hot when I arrived around midnight, with the thermostat set to 75 degrees. Bosco’s crate was also completely covered, whereas I normally leave the front open so he can see out. I’m grateful for her help and availability. A little more attention to the written instructions and reaching out with any questions would have made the experience better.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic young animals to older pets that need a little extra attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible and I am generally available at most times. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last minute bookings whenever needed. I focus on clear communication, consistent routines, and attentive care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident, informed, and reassured while they are away.
“12/10 experience!! Lily was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay. Giving lots of treats and love! My fur baby is very skiddish around new people and he was loving on her by the end. Book her! (Just not on a week I need her haha)”
“You can trust Bella. She was super communicative and so organized. She even kept a journal of how many treats our 3 babies got. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Our flight got significantly delayed and Bella stepped in and stayed an extra night and took so much stress off a stressful situation. So grateful we found her. We will definitely have her take care of our house and animals again.”
“Dianne was wonderful. She interacted with my old furry pal and he was relaxed and happy during her stay. I would have her come again any time I'm away. My apartment was clean and tidy when I arrived back home. Thanks, Dianne!”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and love animals and looking to make sure every dog get the best experience in their life! I love all dogs! I am new to the area. Just graduated college in May from Tiffin University (OH). Moved to Pensacola after and am looking for part time jobs! I will make sure to follow instructions on what is given to me, for feedings, potty’s, and play time! I will leave thorough notes on how everything went!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pace
We had an excellent experience with our house sitter. They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of both our home and pets while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind throughout the stay. Our pets were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we returned, and our home was left clean and in great condition. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.
Michael was absolutely phenomenal ! I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone for dog sitting. I received photos of all the dogs going on walks and playing with a frisbee in the backyard all the days we were gone. Thea, our rescue, was abused before she was adopted and she warmed up to him very quickly and was included in all activities the two other dogs were doing.

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 Pace 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 Pace 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 Pace 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 .
