About: I have taken care of pets for family and friends that have trusted me to do it. I had taken care of many types of dogs. I have also taken care of farm animals such as goats, cows, and chickens. I have a lot of time outside of school because I have a modified schedule and I am very flexible in my time and care. I have three dogs and one tortoise. I have also cared for cats at other homes and have had no issues at all in doing so.
“Natalie was wonderful and took great care of our precious boys. They aren’t easy to trust but they took to her quickly and even slept with her. It didn’t hurt that she hung out with them by the pool which is their favorite. Very grateful for Natalie - it is hard for my husband and I to leave but she put us at ease.”
“Sydney was fantastic with our Dunkin. She was willing to work with us on his “stranger danger” so we felt confident leaving him in her care. She is exceptionally responsive and kept us updated with cute pics of how relaxed he was with her. House was in great shape when we got home and his evening treat was already prepped. We could not have asked for better care and will definitely book again for future trips!”

“Lauren did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. From the time she replied to our request she took the time to listen and understand our challenges. Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I've also trained my own dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and basic training.

“Ellie was very well taken care of with Adryana! She made sure to follow her routine and give her medications on time. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. It was evident that Ellie was comfortable and happy while I was away.”
About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems.

About: I always hear people talk about the love of their pet. I understand how that feels since I now have a fur baby of my own. I work from home for the most part; therefore, I have the ability to give your fur baby the attention and care that they deserve. Pet love is the purest form of love. I have a fenced in big back yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play. I also have a cozy and clean indoor space where your baby can rest and feel at home.
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”

Whether that means playing fetch, keeping them company, giving extra cuddles, or sending you cute updates while you’re away, I want you to feel at ease knowing your babies are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home! 🐶💕 I have a daily routine with my own dog, Scottie, and understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular schedules.

I feel it’s important to keep animals where they are comfortable and feel safe while you are away!🐾
“Jojo is fabulous all around. She spoiled both my dog and cat rotten. She sent us pictures and videos every single day and was extremely communicative. My Frenchie Luna even had an allergy outbreak and jojo gave her a bath for us with her medicated shampoo. I was blown away by her kindness, responsiveness and how she really went above and beyond.. even taking out the trash and cleaning up around the house before we returned home. 1000000/10. Will definitely be booking her for now on.”
“Davelle is a great sitter! He made sure my dog was properly taken care of and kept me updated daily on her schedule and sent pictures as well. What made me pick him was just how quickly and easily my dog was able to relax around him. I would definitely want to use his services again and would recommend him to others as well!”

“Alina took the BEST care of our cat Sammy. Every morning and night, she sent us pictures and updates on how Sammy was doing. Our cat got sick a couple days before she arrived in our home to watch Sammy so he really didn’t have an appetite and wasn’t drinking as much water. Alina put so much effort into getting Sammy to eat and drink. She even went out a got food that she thought he would like and he loved it. I’m really so grateful for everything she did for Sammy. Through the videos and pictures she sent of Sammy, you could tell how much he loved her. Alina washed everything she used before we got home and cleaned up. She is so caring, loving, and will love your pet as her own. I’ve always been nervous of leaving Sammy with a sitter when we go out of town, I never felt nervous leaving Sammy with Alina. She is so reassuring and great. Thank you Alina for taking such great care of Sammy and our home! 1000000/10 stars!!!❤️”
About: I know how hard it can be to trust someone new with your pet! I started working on Rover in 2016 as an undergraduate and have built a strong track record of success—not just because of my lifelong experience with animals, but also thanks to my quick, clear, and friendly communication. After graduating in 2019, I became a full-time dog trainer. With over 8 years of professional pet-care experience (5 of them full-time), I’ve had the privilege of working with countless amazing dogs. I understand the concerns pet parents have—I've heard plenty of horror stories from clients about past sitters and trainers. You can rest assured your pup will be in safe, caring hands with me! I’ll provide daily updates and photos to keep you in the loop. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to help! I’m a full-time dog trainer and work weekdays from 7 AM–3 PM. Because of my schedule, I start my mornings early so I can spend time with the pups before heading out. While I’m at work, your dogs will be safe and comfortable in their own enclosed space with water, a snack, and an enrichment toy to keep them engaged. As soon as I return home, the first thing I do is let the pups outside to play and stretch their legs. On weekends, I’m home all day and able to give them my full attention. Expect photo updates daily! I have a clean house with a big fenced in yard, located in a safe neighborhood in between Optimist Hall and Camp North End. Pets from separate homes will be slowly acclimated and closely supervised with each other. When I am out of the house, every pet will have their own enclosed space, so that there is no mischief while unsupervised.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pooletown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 790 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pooletown. 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 Pooletown 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 Pooletown 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 Pooletown 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.
