“Emily was exceptional!!! Our older dog Chunk needs special care and Emily was amazing with him. She is calming and caring and so very organized! We were traveling out of town and were worried about leaving Chunk, our cat George along with our daughters car Norm and after meeting with Emily I could tell right away that they were all in good hands! I felt so much better and was able to enjoy our trip. She provided updates throughout and gave them lots of love. She truly has a gift with animals. We were blessed to find her and I know we will be using Rover again to request her. Thank you again Emily for taking such good care of them all!!!”
About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience—including a decade caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who required specialized support—I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I work from home in a flexible position, allowing me to adjust my schedule around both my own pets and the pets I care for through Rover. Being home throughout the day means your pet will receive consistent supervision, timely walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship—never long stretches alone. I care for pets in my home by keeping their routines as normal as possible with regular meals, walks, playtime in our large yard, and lots of attention. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.
“Erin went above and beyond with everything we asked of her. She took amazing care of Maple and kept him entertained the entire time. Maple is a high-energy puppy, and she handled him beautifully. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Leslie did such a wonderful job of taking care of our pets, she went above and beyond, taking them for short walks in the snow and bitter cold! She kept us updated through her stay. Will not hesitate to use her again.”
“Chelsea was wonderful house-sitting and taking care of our Winston. She was punctual and attentive and was a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. I've had dogs and cats since I was born and have had several of my own. I will treat your fur baby like it's my own😊 If I'm not working I'm spending time with my dog. I love to be outside and I work from home half of the time so my schedule is pretty flexible as I do most of my work over the phone. Safety and trust are the most important things to me. I would treat your pet as I would want someone to treat my own. I will send pictures and updates regularly and love to spend time playing or giving all the pets!😊
About: What sets me apart is my experience as a veterinary technician and the genuine love and care I have for every animal I meet. 🐾 I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, and pets who require medications or extra attention.

My veterinary experience has taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, handle pets calmly and patiently, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, extra cuddles, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. ❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily life!🐾 As a veterinary technician, I spend my workdays caring for animals, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs.

I’m available for pet care around my work schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine, whether they need a quick check in, feeding and playtime, medication, or some extra company while you’re away. ❤️ I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine.🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.This includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration when needed, and plenty of attention and companionship.

About: I’ve watched multiple of my family members dogs, ranging from big to little dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I also enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood or to the park. I’m currently taking care of my grandma so I don’t really have a set schedule. So I’m always willing to help out. I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.
“Ally stepped in last minute when our scheduled sitter got sick. The dogs were so comfortable with her and she made the situation a lot less stressful. She snuggled our pups, provided photo updates, and was able to stay with them late into the afternoon which helped us out tremendously. So grateful!”
“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”

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 Patton 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 Patton 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 Patton 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.
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.
