“did an amazing job with our cats! my husband and i are very protective of our cats and not once did we worry about them potentially not being ok. they send lots of pics everyday and genuinely care about your animals! they are very good at responding to texts quickly and will provide whatever you need to make you feel comfortable with them being with your pet :). 10/10 would use again.”
“Maria was absolutely perfect! She was so loving with my dogs, took lots of photos regularly, and even straitened up and cleaned around the house. Highly recommend and I will surely be using Maria’s services again!”
“Cindy was amazing. She stayed at our home for several days caring for our 15 year old poodle Scarlett. She gave her attention, sent us updates and we never had to worry about Scarlett. The mail was inside, the plants were watered and the dog was happy. Thank you Cindy. You’re the best!!❣️”
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job at watching and caring for both our dogs. She definitely went above and beyond in all areas. If we're ever back in the area again, we will definitely be looking her up for her pet sitting services. Thank you E!”
About: I was raised on a farm in the countryside. We had cats and dogs among other animals. Many of these I claimed as pets. I've owned several dogs in my lifetime and into their older years and currently have two cats which they think they're human. These little animals are part of our families. This makes them of great importance and priority. Their care should be taken just as seriously as each other. Listening to their needs and watching their habits they communicate. I take great care listening to the sounds and movement of a pet to discern what they are trying to communicate that they need. Flexibility is important when it comes to pet sitting. My children are almost adults now so I have more time to care for another family's pets. I do not have the room for a pet in my home but I have lots of room in my heart to take care of your pet in yours.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, especially large breeds like German Shepherds and Great Pyrenees! My dogs always had plenty of space to run, explore, and play, so I’m used to handling dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I also have experience caring for sick dogs, administering medications, and giving extra attention to dogs who need it. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing, I’m happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I work as a hybrid office manager and have the flexibility to make my own schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my day! I can adjust my work hours to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I also have three cats of my own, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible! I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care needs. I make sure dogs get plenty of walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks, while cats receive attention, playtime, and clean litter boxes. I also understand that some pets need more patience or personal space, especially senior animals. I always respect your home, clean up after your pets, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away!
“Laura dog-sat for us over a three day weekend and we couldn't be happier. We called a bunch of her references and everyone loves her! She was so easy to work with and paid attention to the little details that kept our dog safe and happy. She communicated with us during our trip and managed the dynamics of our house perfectly. I can't say enough good things about Laura!”
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our elderly dog with so much love and attention, and we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in her hands. She also left our home spotless—we came back to a clean, cozy space and a very happy pup. We’re so grateful for her and can’t recommend Kimberly enough!”
“Kelly was absolutely wonderful!!! My dog is nervous and her kindness left me able to trust him to her care with no worries. For me, leaving him is always hard but Kelly’s experience enabled me to enjoy my vacation and not worry. Thank you Kelly!!!”
About: I Need a dog fix! I currently don’t have a dog although I have for most of my life! I grew up with mixed breeds and many animals, had a Great Pyrenees, golden retriever and then a hot dog, also I Have taken care of friends’ dogs when I lived up north. I have lived in Florida for nine years, I know where dog parks are ( if it is approved by owners). I have worked in the health field with a variety of illnesses, also the short term rental & HOA field. I have always been amazed by service animals, therapy animals and have considered becoming a dog groomer. I love dogs and now have more flexibility and availability for doing what I love! I’m healthy , active and know the area, don’t mind traveling I’m currently retired and working just 2-3x/week 1-6pm. I have lots of energy and have an elderly cat right now so I cannot board dogs at this time . I’m around on the weekends and mostly available! I know the area well and can drive to clients homes, I can transport pets as needed, eventually I would be able to board dogs in my home.
“Fabricia did such a great job taking care of Charlie and Chloe. They fell in love with her and cried when she left. She even did extras and help take care of my home while I was away. She clearly has a giant heart, and a great love for animals.”
About: I’ve always been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to take care of their pets. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and am always trying to volunteer to take shelter pups out for the day. I understand that every pet is different, and I love giving them the time and attention they need to feel safe and happy. I’m always excited to meet new furry friends! I’m currently available every day of the week! I’m a college student at Northwest Florida, but I only have one in-person class on Mondays and Wednesdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m able to work pet care into my schedule easily and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting! I also have base access as I am apart of the Air National Guard! I’ll be caring for your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I’ll make sure to follow any routines and instructions you leave for me, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I know it can be stressful leaving your pets with someone new, so I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep you updated while you’re away!
About: For the past seven years, I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication when necessary, and providing plenty of love and attention. I've developed strong bonds with each pet I've cared for, ensuring their well-being and happiness while their owners are away I have a very open schedule this summer as I'm a doordasher so I'll have plenty of time to provide great care and love for your pets! In my home, I ensure pets have designated areas for eating, sleeping, and play. I follow their routines and provide lots of love and attention. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I adhere to their instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any special requirements, while also keeping their environment clean and providing regular updates to the owners
About: I love 🐕 🐶 . We foster a lot. It's nice to get all the unconditional love from our precious pets. Dogs are man's best friend I'm a stay at home mom. I have a husband and 8yo twins living in our home. I am a great caregiver. I love what do I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own medium size rescue dogs.

“Ashley was wonderful! She was on time, communicative, and took great care of Nala. She kept us updated throughout the visit and followed all instructions. We felt completely at ease and will absolutely book again”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who deserve extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to get to know each animal’s unique routine and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart I treat every pet as if they were my own family. Beyond basic walks and feeding, I focus on keeping pets happy, stimulated, and calm — whether that’s through long walks, games of fetch, or simply giving them the quiet affection they crave. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always communicative, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for like a priority. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to give attention to the animals!! I can do feedings and walks morning and night no issues there. I have a fenced in yard, very accessible for letting animals out to go potty and my household only consists of me and my partner so there won’t be many people coming in and out of the home so there’s more consistency for the animals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Point Washington
Literally the best dog sitter in the world. It’s really hard to truly enjoy our vacations because we miss our dogs so much. Maria made sure we were sent pictures, videos, texts about how they are doing. She was truly amazing and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. 10/10
Janessa was absolutely amazing! We needed someone to stay at our house with our boys and she was willing to come in to care for them. She sent us daily pictures without us requesting them while not inundating us with constant messages. It was clear she cared for and loved on our boys. We were at peace knowing Janessa was with them. She is kind, caring and intelligent....all amazing qualities in a caregiver!

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 Point Washington 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 Point Washington 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 Point Washington 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 with handling special pet needs in Point Washington. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
