“Roberto is absolutely amazing. He is the person I completely trust with my dog and is always the first person I ask to take care of Baloo. He provides updates multiple times a day and is great with communication and flexibility. I truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would recommend Roberto to anyone!”
“Goose took to Caroline, great. He is a golden retriever and doodle mix. Only setbacks- was goose was less alone for 8/hrs. He’s 14 weeks old and has the highest energy level. I would like someone who could give a good walk twice a day. That was nothing her fault— she helped out at the last minute. I haven’t been home yet…..”
“Jacob agreed to watch our "Trio of Misfits" even though they usually only watch 2 dogs at a time. I like the fact that he takes the time to learn each dog's individual personality. He kept us informed by text & pictures how they were doing. He was willing to accommodate our special needs dog by rearranging some things in his home. We could tell he had spent lots of time caring & playing with them cuz they came home tired but very happy. We would definitely use Jacob in the future & would highly recommend him for dog sitting.”
About: Hi there, I'm Jamie! Having grown up with a Labrador mix and two cats, I've always been surrounded by pets. The love and lessons they taught me are now being passed on to my cowdog mix, who I adore immensely. My experience with pets has also extended to my neighbors' dogs and cats, entrusting me with their care, and reinforcing my reputation as punctual, responsible, and exceptionally caring. I have given my own pet's prescription medication as well as researched alternatives for my dog's personal health needs that have been approved by a veterinarian. I am willing to learn how to administer medication as well as any other healthcare needs to your pets. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pets like they are my own! I’m currently working a remote job so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available most days of the week and can take pets as long as I know sometime in advance. For any service I provide, my approach centers on safety, trust, and fostering a positive environment. I ensure pets are secure and comfortable, maintain their regular schedule, keep their surroundings clean, and engage them with their favorite activities. I keep consistent communication with pet owners, adhering to their instructions, and offering regular updates to establish reliability. I also own a car for any transportation needs.
About: I have been dog sitting for years now! Ever since I was little I have taken such joy in taking care of dogs! I have two of mine and I absolutely love it. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to work or play with your pups! During the week days I don’t go to work until around 3! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly pups in my home! I can also crate train if needed or necessary for your own dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Palisades 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 Palisades 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 Palisades 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
