“Beverly is a lovely person and did a great job pet sitting for my newly adopted and shy miniature schnauzer named Henri. She was very patient, kind and caring with Henri and was able to quickly earn his trust. It was evident Beverly loves dogs and has a lot of knowledge and experience with them. She was the perfect houseguest as well. I highly recommend Beverly and will definitely trust her to pet sit for Henri again!”
“Thank you Taylor for taking care of Louie and Harvey while we were gone nearly a week. I appreciated the communication throughout the day and the pictures of our boys. Taylor was dependable and professional.”
“Cailin was amazing! She kept us in the loop with everything with our fish and dog. She was responsive and helpful. We came back to a happy puppy and clean house! We will definitely use her for our futures needs.”
“Wendy was great! She looked after our fur babies over Christmas weekend. We returned to happy kids and a home just like we left it. She provided several updates and even sent us photos. Thanks Wendy for allowing us to get away for the holiday weekend!”
About: Hi! My name is Brooke and I have petsitted for people for almost 20 years. I love animals of all sorts of shapes and sizes. I hope you'll consider me for watching your babies and here is why. I've administered shots and medicine and up until 2 years ago I had pets of my own. I lost my heart dog Murphy on NYE of 22 in surgery, got diagnosed with Cervical cancer myself that March, mid-April had a radical hysterectomy. A week before my birthday that year I also lost my cat to a dog or coyote attack. Murphy(dog) was 10, Velcro(cat) was 15 and my lil shadow. I lost all that is light and love that year. I cannot have kids, and I dearly miss my fur babies nothing will ever replace them but I do have a big heart. I am tired of going home to an empty house. I want someone to argue over the last bite with and whether or not cheese really is a dessert. I am ready to get another dog, but first savings!!! I've always had savings for myself and my animals because life can go sideways. So that's why I'm here! I'm currently working two part time jobs to help pay the bills and what I get here will go straight to savings so I am properly prepared to get a pup of my own. I would love nothing more to love on your animals while I prepare for my own. And possible into the future as well. I am currently work a full time Job, 8hrs a day. Sometimes I work Saturdays and if so I have Wednesdays before off. M 10-7, T 9-6, W-F 8-5 Your animal is my main priority! I chill with them and follow th parameters paid out for me. And hang with them for the agreed upon timeframes
About: I’ve been pet sitting for just over two years, mostly for friends and family, and I love it! I’m great with dogs and cats, sticking to their routines, and making sure they are happy while you are away. I am a college student trying to save so I take this job very seriously and am reliable. I’ll even tidy up your house so you can come home to a clean space and a very happy furry friend! I’m a full time college student and all my classes are in the morning. I only work a part time job so I have most of my weekends available to watch your pets and some weekdays. I’m someone who you can feel comfortable leaving in your home. I’m respectful, responsible, and treat everyone space like it is my own(Maybe a little better than my own). I understand how important trust is when you are leaving you pet and home In someone else’s care. My goal is for you to come back to happy animals and a home that looks the way you left it. I send daily photos updates and try to stick to routines as best as possible. I will do extra things like water plants, bring in mail, and do some light cleaning as well!
About: If there’s an animal in the room, we’re probably best friends. I love all animals, but I have the most experience with cats and dogs. I’ve always had both my whole life, and I’ve raised 4 dogs from puppies. I have a pretty flexible work schedule and I always have Sundays and Mondays off. I work every other Saturday, but only for a few hours, so I’m free most weekends as well. I have a fenced yard and lots of green open spaces to walk around my home. I’m always respectful of other people’s space, and like to leave it the same or better than I found it.
“Hannya tooth best care of Coco! I think Coco even misses her and Winson, her cute Dachshund, as she was waiting by the door for them after we got home. Thank you Hannya for always taking such great care of Coco and our home. We can't say enough good things about you! The Roys”
“Michael and Zoe are knowledgable dog caretakers who treated our kookie Dalmatian like a member of the family. She had fun with their dogs. I would highly recommend them to dog parents who need to leave their fur babies in good hands.”
“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Nicole stayed at our home with our 95 pound pup Ryken and he LOVES HER!! She not only took him on walks everyday but also took him for car rides and got him pup cups (after parental approval)!! We came home to a happier pup and a cleaner house than before we left. We will definitely be using her again for all our vacations and highly recommend her!”
“We are so grateful to have found Ashley here on Rover! She took such great care of our Lab, Lilah, our shy kitty and our home while we were away. She played with and walked our dog often and send cute picture updates. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone.”

Patricia was great watching my dog Ginger for 5 days! She accepted my last minute request right away and was able to fit in a meet and greet. She provided plenty of updates and pictures of Ginger throughout the sitting. She left my place super tidy and clean. I would definitely trust her to watch any of my animals 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 Pleasant Valley 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 Pleasant Valley 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.
Tip: 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 Pleasant Valley 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
