“So grateful Angel was able to sit for our two dogs and two cats for a week. They all have unique needs and he did a great job with them. He sent us detailed reports and I could tell from the pictures that the critters felt comfortable enough to be themselves. He’s been walking them once a week for a few months leading up to us being gone which I think helped make at least us and the dogs feel more comfortable. Can’t speak for Angel :)”
“Kristine was incredible. She went above and beyond to provide updates and pictures of our dog and cat while we were out of town. The level of care and love she showered our pets with was wonderful. We will absolutely be using Kristine for future house sitting needs.”
“Reyna was absolutely awesome. Took great care of my home and cat, sent regular updates and was wonderfully communicative. Will always seek to book her first for my next travels. It was my first time using the app and she was patient with me and helped me figure out how to do it and what information to share.”
“Brooklyn was a delight from the moment we met. She was very thorough at our meet and greet with her own questionnaire. Updates throughout her stay were perfect.”
“We had a great experience with Stephanie! Our animals seemed happy and well cared for when we got home AND we got detailed updates with LOTS of photos while we were gone 🤗”
“Yvette helped us out at the last minute for an overnight stay, her flexibility was a life saver! Not to mention my dog loved her right away, I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care, and I am nervous pet parent. Highly recommend!!”
“Simon was awesome with my dog Rocky! I received a bunch of photos of them having fun & on lil adventures, while I was away on a backpacking trip. Would 10/10 recommend.”
“Jessica was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us while we were away! It was our first time using Rover and we were incredibly pleased with our experience. Jessica was very friendly and sweet with our very nervous dog when we did our meet and greet prior to our trip. Throughout our time away she updated us with pictures and progress on how Nala was doing. Clearly she is wonderful with animals because our nervous pup seemed to be comfortable with her in no time at all. We would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter/house sitter while they are away, and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Very thankful to Lisa for taking great care of Piper! She was professional, communicated quickly, and super kind in all of our interactions! I can tell Piper loved her, we’ll definitely have her back again!”
“As always they were fantastic! Our animals love them and they take SUCH good care of our house and our pets. Will absolutely be working with them again next time.”
“Hannah is amazing. She is patient and sweet and loving to my diva dog. She takes such great care of our home and keeps us updated along the way. We feel so much better knowing she is with our lil dog. We adore her and will rebook as often as she will take us!”
“My dogs loved Mackenzie from the first moment they met her. She emanates kindness and a love for living things. She was available on very short notice, prompt, communicative and thorough. She even helped me with a difficult neighborhood kitty and made sure my beloved feral kitty was fed and safe. My dogs have separation anxiety therefore I often dont leave them. I feel so relieved that now that I have someone I can trust and they feel comfortable with to care for them and for our home.”
“Edek is a STELLAR person, fur baby lover, and photographer. The words that best describe this sitter? Detail-oriented, intelligent, hard working, bubbly/optimistic, empathetic. I have always felt guilty leaving my babies, even with full time sitters. Not once did I feel that way when I booked with Edek! Every day I got updates, multiple photos of their care, and cute pictures that absolutely captured my 4 baby’s personalities. I was able to enjoy my vacation and relax for the first time in years. What a gift. I absolutely will be booking with Edek again- I cannot sing high enough praises. My babies were calm and playful when I returned (as if I never left), the house was even cleaner than I left it, and my camera now has wonderful pictures to show people when they ask about my pets❤️”
“Victoria was attentive, asked questions about care of our two dogs, took detailed notes to be sure she had the information on hand to care for and handle any issues that might come up while sitting with our dogs. She kept a clean house and documented the each day, (care, walks, meals, and activities), with some pictures and notes to keep us informed. We will call on her again for our dog sitting needs.”
“My family is so grateful to have found Paula! She is absolutely wonderful with our two large dogs and really put our minds at ease while traveling. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups got what they needed while we were gone and kept us updated throughout. We have one dog that typically doesn't eat when we leave, but Paula patiently sat with her and got her to eat her meals. Plus, she clearly loves dogs, especially our itty bitty pitty, and gives them so much love and attention! We will definitely hire Paula to pet sit or drop-in in the future!”
“Wow, what an amazing experience my pets had with Natalie! My dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately. She was very communicative, played with them and even helped with training the puppy. She did an awesome job watching over the house. When we got home the house was clean and tidy. It was a relief to find someone so trustworthy. We will reach out to Natalie any time we go out of town and, fingers crossed, hire her for dog training. 10/10 experience and an even better person!”
“Wren took excellent care of my dogs and cats while we were gone for the week. They were well loved, and our house was taken good care of too. I'd definitely recommend her.”
“Alicia has been the best sitter for our dog, Ella! She is the only person we turn to when we need someone to walk/watch Ella. Alicia’s genuine love for animals shines through in her care for our girl. She's reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile to ensure our dog feels happy and loved. We're so grateful for her!”
“This is the second time I’ve booked Paul to watch my cats, and once again he went above and beyond with pictures while I was away, great communication, keeping my house clean, and even bringing in my mail and garbage cans. Highly recommended!”

I had Christian stay at my house and care for my 4 dogs for 5 nights.. I know 4 dogs of 42lb-90lb, can be a challenge but Christian was absolutely wonderful! He communicated how everyone was doing daily, they warmed up to him quickly. He sent photos for us, and we came home to a clean home PLUS all poop was picked up in the yard. I would absolutely trust him and invite him back.
This was the first time we used this type of service. All other times we needed a sitter for our dog we used family to care for our dog. We had 2 concerns a stranger taking care of our dog and a stranger in our house. We decided on Drew who was an excellent choice. We did a meet and greet. During the meet and greet we told Drew everything she needed to know to care for our dog. She asked questions and took notes. While away Drew sent many pictures each day. Took Suzy on walks and described how each day went. We made an excellent choice in using Drew as an in house dog sitter. We will use her service again.
Bre was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was reliable and a quick communicator. She stayed at our house and was respectful of the home as well. I highly recommend using her and will definitely use her for future trips! Thank you for taking great care of Booger, Maya, and Mariner.
We had not booked Haley for a couple of years due to not traveling as much. Mango never forgot her and was so excited to see her. Mango also needed some extra care this time and Haley provided it. She did great with the kittens too. We are so lucky we found her and it we can leave our pets and home in her care without a worry. Thank you Haley!
April spent the weekend for her first overnight with my 22 year old cat, Paris. April checked in and sent pictures along the way which I really appreciated. She even sent one of Paris being a total ham and taking over April's entire arm for a cuddle/nap sesh so needless to say Paris enjoyed her time with April and can't wait for the next sleepover. April is great!
We had a great experience with Jeri over the 5 days she cared for our dogs. She was friendly and reliable, and communicated well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall, we felt our dogs were in good hands and would happily recommend her to others.
I really enjoy Michelle’s daily updates and thoughtful communication! She puts my stress of leaving Millie at total ease and always puts Millie’s needs first. On top of that she is the most respectful and responsible house sitter too. So thankful we found such a great sitter - Thank you Michelle!
Lanii, was great!!! She was super communicative the whole time. Plenty of update pictures and even texted me when our anxious dog was having accidents in the house due to be nervous around new people. They both loved her instantly and were intimidated at all! I would highly recommend her as a sitter and we will definitely be using her services in the future!
Kaitlin is everything you would want in a pet sitter! Efficient communication, punctual and so very sweet to our animal crew! She sent pictures daily and was very detailed to ensure our large (and very medicated crew) was taken care of properly. We can't wait to have her back.

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 Parkland 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 Parkland 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 Parkland 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.
