“Regina is great! My puppies just love her and I highly recommend her! One of my pups is very skittish and he warmed right up to Regina and even ate his dinner for her. Thank you so much Regina for watching my pups! Sherry Seale”
“I don't have enough words to express how great Carrice is!!! Carrice was seriously amazing with my boy Otis. He’s a recent rescue and still has some house training issues, so leaving him with someone new was EXTREMELY nerve wracking for me, especially because me and him are still getting to know each other too. She made me feel so much better the entire time by constantly keeping me updated, sending me pics + vids, and letting me know how he was doing. She was so patient and understanding with his accidents and just really kind to him in general. He got so much love and attention, and she even taught him how to sit!! She also kept my house super clean while I was gone, which I didn’t even ask her to do, and I appreciated that so much, especially because I wasn’t feeling well when I got back. She’s honestly just a really great person - very patient, thoughtful, understanding, and communicative. I could tell Otis was really cared for and that meant a lot to me. I’d absolutely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone!! (:”
About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.
About: What sets me apart? Simple — I believe pets deserve more than just someone to watch them. They deserve genuine love, patience, attention, and a little extra spoiling! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your furry friend is full of playful energy, a little shy, or simply enjoys a peaceful environment, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, dependable, and big on communication! You can expect updates, adorable pictures, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and tails that wag every time I return! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m available seven days a week after 2 PM, allowing me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to providing your furry family members with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s afternoon walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. I understand how important consistency and trust are when choosing someone to care for your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar surroundings. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my approach to match their comfort level, energy, and individual needs. When visiting a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to following all care instructions closely. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and making sure pets receive the attention they deserve. Communication is just as important to me as quality care! I provide updates and pictures so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are happy and in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel like family and every owner feel confident in choosing me! 🐶❤️
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.
About: Hello! I’m an animal lover who grew up with both a female and a male dog, both about 8 years old. Recently, our third dog passed away at 16 due to some age-related health complications, so I have experience with senior dogs as well. I also have both a female and a male cat that are about 12 and 5 years old, respectively. I have experience pet-sitting for both family and neighbors. I’ve pet-sat small dogs, such as a French bulldog and a Boston terrier, as well as larger breeds, such as an American yellow Labrador and a Great Dane. All the friends and family members I have pet sat for have cats as well. I’m currently between jobs as I’m transitioning to studying for a graduate school entrance exam. My schedule is open and will revolve around your fur babies. I’m a morning person, but I will gladly take evening walks. I'm mainly looking for dog-walking opportunities, but I am open to short-term pet sitting. I do have my cat at my apartment, so I would only be able to do drop-in visits and walks otherwise.
“Kaylee is one of my favorite dog sitters! She took great care of my dog and kept me informed at all times. I trust her fully with my dog and I am so happy that I got a chance to have her as my sitter.”
“Kali is wonderful. I have a senior dog with some special needs and Kali is so patient and caring with her. She is a great communicator and keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures, which helps keep me at ease. She also keeps the house spotless when I return. So thankful for her, she is always my go to for pet sitting!”
“Louann stayed with our 2 dogs over the weekend while we were away. She did a wonderful job and made us feel at ease knowing they were being taken care of and getting attention while we were gone. I will definitely use Louann again. It's hard to find someone who has such a passion for dogs as she does!”
“We booked Dykan for the first time for a long weekend away for house sitting. He volunteered to meet us and our two dogs before the booking to make sure we had a match which was greatly appreciated! Dylan is highly responsive, always providing updates, photos and videos throughout the day and night. Not only did he take incredible care of our fur babies, he also cleaned up everything that he used, from towels to toilet! We’ve already booked him again for our next trip. Thanks Dylan!”
“Haley is the best sitter we have had! She takes the time to meet and understand your dogs’ needs first. I really appreciate all the updates she provides-videos, photos and messages so you know what is going on with your babies. She is extremely kind to my dogs and communicates very well. Highly recommend!”
“Britney is a truly great pet sitter. She is so reliable, trustworthy, and just a very kind person. Having her as a sitter allows us to be stress free and not worry about our dogs when we are away. Britney is an excellent communicator, sends us pictures of our pups, and our dogs are always excited to see her. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for excellent pet care.”
“Once again, Kayla was amazing! Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. She takes amazing care of my older Yorkie in our home and gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. Reliable, attentive, sends tons of great photos, and clearly loves animals. Will always highly recommend”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,031 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Poetry. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Poetry 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 Poetry 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 Poetry 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.
