“Emily was amazing. She stepped in to watch our house/dog at the last minute and she was so great. Xena clearly had a great week while we were gone because we came home to a very happy and well-regulated pup! We are so grateful.”
“Holly was very good with my very active dog. He’s 10 years old but acts like a 2 year old. He’s has certain things he likes to do but Holly got all of his quirks. I think Holly is a very good dog sitter will call her again!”
“The best dog sitter I have ever had!!! We received multiple updates a day with lots of pictures of a very happy dog, constant communication, and she went above and beyond what we asked for walks, attention, etc. Could not recommend more!”
“Delia stepped in at the last minute to take care of my energetic 6y old terrier at home, while I was out of town She is extremely responsible and took great care of both Orla and things at home We will definitely be working again together”
About: Ever since I started as a sitter, I have made sure to take care of any pets with great care and attention! All pets under my watch will be fed and played with, loved like they are my own, and that they are healthy once you come home! While I do work full-time, I will make time for any pet in need, whenever you need it! Overnight or just a check-in, I have the time to make sure your pet is all taken care of so you don't have to worry and enjoy yourselves! I make sure that all pet's routines is met fully, that their energy needs are fully met and that they are healthy all day long, otherwise I'll make sure that they have the care they need!
About: What sets me apart is my blend of professional experience and genuine love for animals. I have 5+ years in animal care, including shelter work and experience as a veterinary assistant while completing schooling to become a vet tech. I’ve worked alongside animal behaviorists and assisted with training programs, so I’m confident with puppies, behavior support, and routines. I love walking and hiking dogs, creating enrichment activities, and of course some good puppy snuggles if your pup is a cuddler! I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections, and I have experience caring for pets with diabetes, Addison’s disease, and asthma. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Most importantly, I truly respect that every pet parent knows their pet best. I take pride in following your routines and wishes so your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I do currently work full time Tuesday-Friday in a vetrinary clinic. I'm available for evening walks during the week and full time care on the weekends as well as on Monday. If a longer trip is planned or your needing an extra service, I'm open to having a conversation to arrange my schedule to best fit both our needs. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on structure, enrichment, and lots of love. I have a fully fenced yard and provide 2–4 walks daily (or more/less as requested by pet parents). I live an active lifestyle, so your pup will get plenty of movement, unless their needs are limited, in which case I’m happy to slow things down. I offer pet-parent–approved enrichment activities throughout the day to help pets stay engaged or enjoy calm rest time. If your dog loves fetch, we’ll definitely be playing! I share my home with two friendly dogs and two cats. My dogs are welcoming to other dogs, and my cats truly think they’re dogs themselves. If you’re concerned about dogs and cats together, no worries! My cats have separate, safe areas they can retreat to at any time. I’m happy to welcome friendly pets and always follow your routines and preferences to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home. If your pet is more nervous around other dogs, I'm happy to provide the same services in your personal home. Send me a message, if you have any questions? Let's get connected, I can't wait to meet your best friend!

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 Picabo 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 Picabo 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 Picabo 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.
