“I can’t say enough good things about Tess! She was extremely responsible, communicative, and went above and beyond in every way during her stay. She obviously loves dogs and my dogs loved her. She is super smart and highly qualified for any sort of job involving pets and homes. I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely hire her again in a heartbeat.Mahalo, Tess!”
“Mandi was so incredible! She took such great care of my Jackson, even taking him to the park multiple times a day to play fetch and sent pictures to keep me updated. She also dealt with his reactivity well which is always a concern of mine when I leave him with others. Responses were quick and as a house guest she left everything clean, even cleaned the bedding in her room which was so kind and nice to come back to one less chore after a busy vacation.”
About: I am an animal lover who has been helping friends and family with sitting their fur babies for years and i want to take my skills to the next level by sitting on rover 🐾 I would love to sit during the week and on weekends. I have a flexible schedule and live an active lifestyle and would love to go on long walks and hikes with your pets or enjoy time cuddling on the couch. I keep a very tidy house so there won’t be much to worry about your pets getting into and I will leave your home better than I found it as well. I live on col de sac so the road is not busy and very good neighborhood for dog walking
“Casey took care of our pup while we were off island for a weekend; he even brought him his new favorite toy. Casey is very pleasant and we felt very comfortable with him after our meet and greet. He sent updates with pictures and left our place just as we left it. Our dog had a great time with him and we would definitely work with him again!”
“Chris took wonderful care of my puppy, May! She kept in close contact with me and answered all of my questions while I was gone at work. I greatly appreciate Chris and I'll definitely be contacting her again for her awesome service! May was a happy pup when I got home :)”
“Megan was so great with our animals during our recent trip. it was during the big storm and our house was without power and internet for 2 days. As soon as power was restored, she sent us updates and pictures of our cats and dogs. When we came home, our house looked better than when we left and we had a house full of happy animals. I would highly recommend Megan and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my cats while I was away! I really appreciate your time, effort, and responsiveness throughout the booking. It gave me great peace of mind knowing someone was there to check in on them. Thanks again for your help!”
“Natalie is a amazing! I have an extremely high maintenance, elderly, not always friendly, sassy bulldog who is about as stubborn as they come. Natalie adhered to all of my many requests and suggestions about how to best handle Lana as well she went above and beyond by watering all of my plants (both indoor and outdoor) AND I returned to a house cleaner than I had left it!! Not to mention she texted with photos, videos, and updates daily to put my mind at ease. It was such an Incredible experience that I immediately booked her again. Such a relief to have a competent sitter close to home!”
“Courtney was amazing while I was away. She took great care of my pets and my home and sent me updates each day, which I really appreciated. Coming home was so nice, the house was all set and she even left me flowers. I felt at ease knowing everything was in good hands and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Jennifer was so wonderful with our Harry. We were so apprehensive about leaving him for our European vacation for 10 days, but right from the start we received updates and pictures of how he was doing. She was so very patient and kind with him, taking him for walks on a regular basis, and attending to his needs for reassurance. We would not have enjoyed our trip if not for Jennifer's care of our Harry. She also took care of the house and left it clean as when we left it. Would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone and plan to call upon her services in the future.”
About: Hi there, I’m Brooklen! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes as naturally to me as caring for people. With years of experience as both a veterinary technician and pet sitter, I bring not only love and compassion but also the skills to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, medication administration, or simply keeping your furry family member company, I approach every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so I make communication a priority—sending updates, photos, and little stories from our time together. From energetic pups who need adventure to senior pets who need gentle patience, I adapt my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Your pets deserve someone who’s reliable, responsible, and genuinely devoted to their well-being—I’d love to be that person for you. 🐾 I work part-time and home fairly early in the afternoon. I have some freedom with my schedule and am eager to plan around your pup/kits schedule. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and loved—just like family. 🏡 In My Home: I create a cozy, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can relax and feel secure. I follow their normal feeding, potty, and exercise routines so they feel right at home. Fresh water is always available, and I provide plenty of toys, walks, and snuggles to keep them happy and engaged. Safety is a top priority, so I make sure all hazards are out of reach and each pet has their own comfortable spot to rest. 🚗 In Your Home: I respect your space while giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and walks to medications and house rules. I also keep your home secure, tidy up after meals or litter changes, and make sure your pet feels loved with playtime and companionship. 📸 Communication: You’ll always feel connected while you’re away! I send regular updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to have total peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Rae! Ever since my dad handed me my first Boston Terrier when I was a little girl, my heart has belonged to the animals. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with pets, and as an adult I couldn’t imagine not having pets. I also recognize that even though we wish we could take our furbabies everywhere, it’s just not a reality for a lot of us. So, I’m happy to be able to ease the worry of wanting or needing to travel, work, etc by offering to take care of your babies while you’re away. I’ve also traveled to help take care of pets while they’re pawrents were away, tending to both their pets and home. Currently I have a lot of open availability. I prefer to be able to come to your house as I have two pups and three kitties in my home, and I know a pet is usually more comfortable in their own environment. The less that has to change for pets, the better so they don’t have to experience the stress of a new place or dog boarding. So I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walkies, play time, and in home sitting if needed. With direction from you, I’m happy to follow guidelines that you have set up for your pets in your home from their daily routine, to walks etc.

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 Paia 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 Paia 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 Paia 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.
