“Savannah was an amazing overnight sitter she watched after our 3 chihuahuas and did a very good job taking care of them and even cleaned up their toys and everything before leaving. Thank you!!”
“Kiera took great care of our pups while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures and updates often and treated our pups like she would her own. Thankful we found her! Will definitely rebook!”
“Susan was absolutely outstanding in every way! She followed all instructions and spent lots of time with our dog. She went above and beyond! We will definitely book with her anytime we go out of town. 10/10”
“Erin did an amazing job staying in our home and watching our two pups! We knew she’d be a great fit during the meet and greet when she asked great questions and took thorough notes. Each day we received updates and pictures. She went above and beyond as well and left the house in perfect condition. One of our dogs is very anxious. She took things very slowly with him, was patient, and met him where he was at. By the end he had warmed up to Erin, and she sent us a picture of them sitting together! We are so happy we found Erin, will certainly rebook with her in the future, and recommend her!!”
“Elisa is the sweetest girl. She sent us daily photos and Bella loves her. We were never worried that our baby girl wasn't being well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Elisa if you need someone to care for your fur baby”
“Mia is so incredible. My poor baby was having an incredibly rough time adjusting to me being gone. It was our first time apart since we lost my mom, her go-to baby sitter. She started to get sick just about everyday. Mia was so patient and kind. She cleaned up so many messes, poor thing. But my baby began to adjust, and perk up. Mia made her feel safe and loved through the transition. I knew my baby was in good hands but Mia blew me away. She’s such a gem and I am so grateful for her”
“Michele was probably the best sitter that I’ve had yet, and I’ve had a lot! My dogs have some anxiety and are scaredy cats but that didn’t bother her one bit. She sent daily pictures of my Murphy boy and kept me updated constantly. She left my house spotless. She’s a treasure!!”
About: Your pets deserve the same love, attention, and care they get at home. ❤️ I have 12 years of experience caring for animals and am also the owner of a mobile pet grooming business. I work with pets every day and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care, while making sure each pet receives plenty of attention. I have extensive experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet is different. I prioritize safety, comfort, cleanliness, and following each owner’s instructions carefully.
About: I have six years of experience and have work for multiple kennels. I know how to do daily routines and how to distribute medications. I give a lot of my attention to detail and make sure the pets have the best care. I actually work for a veterinary clinic at this time. Also, I care for my family member's pets on the weekends, when I have time. I normally care for any pet I have in my care in their own homes. I have in the past stayed overnight in my clients' homes.
About: Hi there! I’m Lydia. I’ve had pets my whole life and I’m a big lover of cats and dogs alike! Between my family and I we have two dogs and 5 cats to take care of. I’m well versed in dog walking, cleaning up after animals, feeding schedules, and of course, cuddling in our down time! I would love to help you and your fur babies with anything you may need! Right now I’m babysitting on weekends and have school Monday evenings, however my availability is pretty open and I’m happy to work out a schedule with you! :) I like to keep things as clean as possible when I go to people’s homes. In addition to pet sitting, I’m happy to help clean up little messes your animals may leave behind or tidy up my area! I scoop my cat’s litterbox every day and change it weekly. I also make sure my dogs keep the backyard relatively clean by scooping up their droppings.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember. They’ve always held a special place in my heart. I offer flexibility like no other, as I work from home for my day job. Let me treat your animals the way i’d treat mine, nothing but love and respect! I currently work a hybrid schedule. Some days i’m in the office until 4pm, monday and fridays I work from home, leaving me tons of time to look after your animals! Weekends are typically free. I’m also very flexible on what I offer. You need a house sitter for a getaway weekend? I’m your guy! You need a drop in for bathroom break/walk during the week, I’m your guy! I have a fully fenced in backyard with a very good amount of space. I have 2 cats that love all animals. If i’m coming to your home, it will be treated with the same respect and standards I have for my own. Very clean, safe, and trustworthy!
“Brandon is INCREDIBLE- what a gem! Took such great care of our sweet girls and genuinely loves all animals. He is so kind and communicative, and was a pleasure to host at our house. We have already booked him again and plan to use him regularly, our cats loved him!”
“Patricia did a great job taking care of our pup! They had lots of long walks/hikes and lots of cuddles on the couch. We came back to a very clean house (sheets cleaned without us even asking) and a very happy and tired dog. Totally recommend Patricia!!”
About: I love animals! I've taken care of all kinds of domestic pets for 15 years now. I've also worked for a small zoo and cared for cows, donkeys and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, as well as owls, hawks and an eagle. I have cared for exotic animals too! Ostriches, African tortoises, an African sand cat, African black-backed jackals and porcupines. I will give loving and attentive care to your pets. You can rest easy. I love animals and they love me! Pet care is all I do, so your pets will get personal immediate attention. I have been doing pet/house/farm sitting part-time for over 10 years. I'm now going into this full-time. Your pets will get my undivided attention! I have a reliable car and am easy to get ahold of anytime day or night. I do a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other and I can make sure we are compatible and learn about your animals routine and any special needs so I can care for them safely and well. This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.
About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I think it's valuable to be consistent and patient when teaching animals to help them grow in confidence and reduce confusion. I've also loved and cared for a multitude of different species including horses, donkeys, ponies, alpaca, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, bearded dragons, turtles, ferrets, sugar gliders, chickens, peasants, and quail. If you have unusual pets, I'd love to meet them! My routine is to come home after work, have some dinner, and then play & snuggle with my cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's important to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable with someone new in their environment.

Susan was absolutely incredible with our dogs! She took the time to come for a visit before house sitting and then took so much care of our little animals and home while she was there. We will definitely be reaching back out to her when we need someone to watch our dogs again!

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 Park Layne 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 Park Layne 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 Park Layne 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.
