“Heather is fantastic. My pups loved having her stay with them. Heather is responsive and you never feel like they are not cared for. She stays in contact and gives updates. The idea of leaving your pets worry free is amazing. Thank you Heather!”
“We felt comfortable immediately with Claudia staying at our home and watching our pups. She seemed to take such incredible care of them, that we felt safe to enjoy our trip. She sent regular pics and updates and the pups seemed so happy. Our dogs also needed medication and she had no problem administering it. She also took great care of our home and cleaned up. We are so glad we found Claudia and can't wait to book her again!”
“Noemy was great. She followed the care instructions well and our dog seemed very happy when we got home. Our dog loves her routine and definitely shows when it's been broken. Noemy allowed her to maintain that consistency. Very happy with the experience.”
“We had Nicolas come and house sit and watch our dogs while we were out of town. He was extremely communicative, providing updates daily on the dogs and our house. He is easy going, respectful and a great dog and house sitter! We will be using him for all future trips as he made us so comfortable and gave our dogs all of his attention and time. I’d book with Nicolas without any hesitation!”
“Sally made the whole Rover experience easy and knowing someone would be in to check on Puzzles while I was out of town made me feel less guilty about leaving. Plus getting updates about the visit was as well!”
About: My name is Maya. I am 20 years old and have a very flexible schedule! I have 5+ years of animal experience, I have worked in the veterinary field, kennel environment, pet sitting and volunteered at rescues. I am also Pet CPR First Aid Certified and have my Veterinary Assistant certification! Currently pet sitting is my full time job and I have full availability. I do want to start schooling by the end of this year to be a veterinary technician! To ensure every pets safety I am always outside with your dogs and I like to make sure all pets are accounted for. I understand that not all pets are super friendly and have boundaries so I try not to approach pets until they feel safe with me.
“Michele and David were great! We booked them pretty last minute and they were willing to stay the weekend with our Lux and Link! Luxy was/is stuck in a cone right now and needed medication administered as well. They were patient with the unique needs Lux has right now and kept us updated throughout the stay. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies!”
“Jennifer was great! Helped me out super last minute after another dog sitter cancelled on us 11pm the day before we left out of town! She was super quick to respond and found the time to meet Ryder beforehand. She even made sure to be back later that day when we were leaving just to calm our nerves about a new dog sitter. She communicates well and sent me a few pics / vids. It is always nerve wrecking as a pittie owner to leave him in new hands but I’m glad it worked out! Ryder was three weeks post surgery so she had to administer some medication and had no issues. This also meant we needed someone who would stay overnight in our home and share a bed with Ryder, all of which she did. I would use her again for sure next time I have an out of town situation!”
About: I currently work with dogs full time, I grew up taking care of my family and friends animals while they were away. I studied animal science at URI and have experience with dogs ranging from pekingese to great pyrenees. Use code SARAHM55418 for $20 off your first booking! I’m currently in a K9 section taking care of shepherds and malinois, I go in early so my evenings and weekends are completely free to take care of your furry companions. I will treat your house respectfully and make sure your fur baby(s) get all the exercise they need and make sure they’re fed.
“Doris was incredible with our three dogs and three cats while we were away. She provided pictures and updates regularly and the animals were happy with all the attention that she provided. We will definitely be using Doris in the future.”
“Jada was wonderful from beginning to end! She made sure she did a meet and greet made sure everyone was comfortable! Her communication was great as we were on our trip and kept us informed of everything with pictures of our happy boys! She worked with our young dog as he was feeling anxious and made him as comfortable as possible. I’m in awe of the service she provided! All the way down to the respect of our home! Even washing and folding the bedding after her stay!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, energy level, and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially comfortable with large and energetic dogs and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I work from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, but I’m available before or after work for pet care. I’m also fully available on weekends and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment and take the time to understand your pet’s personality, habits, and specific needs. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.
About: From reptiles to rodents and four legged creatures, I cared for multiple animals that I think I considers myself Snow White…All jokes aside I truly adore animals and have nurtured them with all my love and patience. Although I am a college student ! My availability is open to any precious creature who needs care or even some attention for pet parents who aren’t able too, I am more than happy to provide that for the pet and the owner. It all depends on the clients needs, I’m able to adjust to any changes or specific requirements. Of course, if there is any concerns for the pets safety I would be willing to make accommodations in order to ensure their safety.
“Laura was very professional and was completly comfortable with my pets right away. She kept me updated and asked/answered questions as needed. She even took the time to clean up after my dog with incontinence issues. And, lastly she added a sweet touch by putting out a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a note of appreciation. It was hard to leave my vacation, but coming home was great. I would recommend her.”

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 Pala 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 Pala 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 Pala 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.
