“Mary was wonderful work with. Responsive, clear and trustworthy. Our dogs were in great hands. She sent regular updates and think our dogs had more fun then we did. Highly recommended.”
“We are so grateful for Reagan's help last minute. She took care of our dog and kept him company while we traveled. I really appreciated the pictures and prompt communication!! Booking her again!!!”
About: I have always grown up with animals and taken care of our dogs. I have dog sat for family friends before and am comfortable with any pooch. I am currently in college and have classes at different times each day, but when possible I'd love to take your dog for a walk! I have a large backyard surrounded by woods and plenty of areas to run around. I have one dog and one cat. We also have an outdoor kennel and an indoor crate.
“Amanda took great care of Toby while we were out of town! She stayed in our home with him, and I really appreciated the regular check-ins, photos, and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Amanda was also very considerate and respectful of our home. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave Toby!”
“We were really anxious about our first dog/house sitting gig, but Mack did a great job with our 3 needy and spoiled pups. We were gone for 5 nights. She sent many photos, and my pups loved her. We have 2 dogs that require medications, and she followed the instructions to the letter. Our house looked great when we got home, and my pups were excited to see us - but not overly so - which lets me know that they really enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely use her again.”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”
“Payton was amazing! Our dogs were happy staying home with friendly and safe visits. She even took care of the poop scooping without even being expected to. Thank you for a great first time with Rover, Payton.”
“Rachel was courteous, professional, prompt, provided updates, adorable photos and truly gave us peace of mind as she took care of our needy pup. She gave medication, prepared meals for our finicky one, understood her needs and gave her lots of attention. When she could tell our dog wasn’t quite the same, she reached out to see what she could try to offer comfort. We have been blessed to use Rachel before and know we will reach out again! With our appreciation and thanks for going above and beyond!”
About: You can relax knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own. My family has years of experience working with several different breeds and temperaments. We love them all and will give them the very best care! I also have years of experience house/pet sitting in others homes as well as dog walking. I am able to work on basic training skills and playing fun interactive games. I currently work full time M-F, but my husband who works from home will be available for boarding 7 days a week. We have had several clients that we enjoyed working with very much. We provide security inside and outside and give each pup lots of love and attention! I have a large fenced in yard your pup will have full access to, they will be let out several times a day and played with. We have 2 friendly pups of our own, Sugar is a 12 yr old Maltipoo and Koko is a 6yr old Klee Kai, both are under 20 lbs. We take the time to meet every client before their first stay to ensure everyone gets along and so you can see where your pup will be staying. I also ask each client to fill out an info sheet with all pertinent information about their pet in case of an emergency and for schedule consistency.
“Abi was very faithful in spending quality time with my older beagle. She shared photos, updates, and even gave me a summary of their time together. I would highly recommend Abi as a pet sitter! She was wonderful.”
“Our dogs love Kianna. She sent us awesome pics throughout the weekend (she really should do puppy pics as a profession) They were awesome. She took them out and played with them frequently even introducing them to an intellectual toy. Thank you Kianna we will be using your services again”
“Maya was great! She communicated well while we were away (sending messages about Duncan's day and walks) and our dog LOVED her. The house looked great when we got back. Thank you Maya!”

I’ve grown up in a family that have had lots of pets as well. I’ve been dog/ cat sitting for about 4 years now and I really enjoy doing it as a side hustle. I am able to give meditation and take your dogs for walks as requested by owners. I work a full time job during the week from 6am-2pm during the week. I have off on Thursdays and the weekends which I can be at your house anytime before or after then. I am able to do two drop in visits per day. I always make sure nothing is left out or down that pets can accidentally get ahold of. I also always supervise pets whether they are in the house or out in the yard.
About: I love both dogs and cats. I have been around animals my whole life and if I could have an animal sanctuary I would! Animals relieve stress and I find that very helpful! I can watch anyone's animals on the weekends. If it's during the week I'll have to let work know so I can work around your animals schedule. I will care for your animal or animals in however you explain their needs. I'll play with your animal, feed him/her/them or walk him/her/them. I can't bring any animals in where I live.

I have lots of experience with dogs who need extra attention and love, and I can't wait to make your dog part of my dog adventures. I am not very cat experienced, but I do enjoy cats. My children and 1 year old yellow lab love dogs! My lab is playful, but also laid back, and my children are very good with all types of dogs! I can't wait to meet your pet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penryn
I couldn't have been any happier than I was with Leann. Having a service dog and one in training I was so concerned about someone who could keep their routine as reg as possible without setting them back. Unlike most dogs they are use to 24/7 human interaction because of going everywhere with me. Leann had no issues with providing that with the exception of a couple errands she had to run. Ive never met someone who gave my boys as many hugs and attention as she did and followed our list of tasks and commands while we were out of the country. Splitting up a service team is stressful but Leann made it possible to relax and enjoy our trip with daily pics and updates. Definitely keeping her informed for future trips. Thanks again Leann
Both my boys seemed very happy with Leann. Radar is trained service dog and can be very injured to people and he even was very content and happy with Leann she followed all our routines to keep things as normal as possible around the house. Thanks LeAnn I know I can be very picky about who I allow around my boys.
Leann was an incredible sitter. From our initial meet and greet, she was attentive, present, and genuinely thoughtful. When it came time to stay with my pup, she was communicative, caring, and so kind throughout the entire experience. My dog can be a little hesitant with new people, but her patience and calm presence immediately put both of us at ease, especially since this was my first Rover booking. Her animal experience, along with her previous work at a local vet, also gave me an added sense of comfort knowing he was in capable hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leann. She’s a perfect choice.

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 Penryn 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 Penryn 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 Penryn 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!

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 .
