“Victoria took such great care of our dogs and cat and house while we were gone. She communicated well and we felt so great getting home to find happy pups and a house that felt like it was taken care of in our absence. Thank you Victoria! We will be 100% reaching out the next time we need to go away.”
“Rayna was an outstanding house sitter, and I recommend her without hesitation. She took wonderful care of our dog and cats, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after while we were away. She kept the house spotless, was incredibly responsive throughout our trip, and sent frequent updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Rayna was also friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a perfectly maintained house. We would absolutely book Rayna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy house sitter.”
“Jean treated Zu Zu as her if she were her own pup. We were kept updated throughout our time away, with pics, videos and texts. We had a late return flight and Jean went above & beyond by laundering the sheets, making sure we didn't need to do so when we arrived home. We are grateful for Jean's incredible care of our little girl!”
“Excellent sitter. Victoria handled one of our dog’s specific mobility needs perfectly. Knowing she had everything under control really eased the separation anxiety for both us and the dogs. The house was left exactly how we found it—couldn't be happier with the choice. Will definitely be booking Victoria for future trips!”
“Sarah and Mason took great care of our dog and two cats. When we arrived home after a week-long work trip, we arrived to find a lovely note letting us know when our dog was walked last, and when the animals were fed. Not only that the house was a clean as we left it and all the animals were super-happy. We will definitely use them again!!”
“Gianna is warm, friendly, competent and great with dogs. On short notice she was able to accommodate us and our needs for both dog and house sitting. She left the house in great shape, too. We are very pleased with her services and look forward to having her watch our dogs again!”
“Sophia had great communication with me before, during and after her stay. My pup was THRILLED with her and I'm sure that's because she was given love and attention. My instructions for the home were followed perfectly and it was left in pristine condition. I would definitely book with Sophia again!”
About: I have always loved animals. Any time a neighbor needed a pet sitter they would call me, and I was always excited to help. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for close friends and neighbors for years and I have had many animals of my own. I feel as though I am experienced and responsible for this kind of job and it would be so much fun for me. I am currently in school to pursue a career working full time with all kinds of animals and I feel that Rover would be a great stepping stone for myself. I have a Bichon-Shih Tzu named Max and I love him dearly so believe me when I say your pets will be dearly loved as well.
“Meaghan did an amazing job taking care of my two cattle dogs at my home for a week. Both are rescues and one is a flight risk and very leery of new people. Meaghan was amazing with them and kept everyone safe and happy!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Isabel was amazing. She provided updates and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very professional and asked lots of our questions during our virtual meet and greet and took the time to learn the dogs’ routines. We can’t wait to use her again!”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
“Kona had a blast with Viola. She stopped by after taking care of him, and our house, and he was incredibly happy to see her. Viola took wonderful care of Kona, our house and did some tasks that really helped us out. She is a rockstar.”
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for the past 8 years and have always loved being around animals. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines and instructions so pets stay happy and comfortable. I’m also comfortable giving medications if needed and following detailed care instructions. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with patience and kindness. Pet care fits well into my routine and I have flexible availability. I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the day depending on the pet’s needs. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication routines if needed. I take safety and routine seriously when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, medications, walks, and house rules. I make sure pets feel comfortable and keep a calm environment while they’re in my care. I also provide updates so owners know their pets are safe and doing well.
About: Growing up I have always had at least one pet in my home. We have mainly had dogs however in the past I’ve had dogs, a tortoise, and a bunny. I will often take my dogs for walks or help my friends or family members with their dogs. I love spending time with animals and it is honestly the highlight of my day going home and being with my pets. I have been doing rover for about 3 years now and have had many amazing experiences. I have several clients that continue to book with me and I am always looking to add more amazing people to my list. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I will get back as quick as possible! I am currently working full time Tuesday-Sunday mornings however I’m typically available any day after noon. I don’t require much notice before booking as long as my calendar says I am available. I will be patient and gentle with any animals my client may have and ensure there is nothing that could cause the animal harm near the animal. This includes reaching out during any inclement weather conditions.
About: I have had animals of all kinds my whole life and have helped take care of multiple family pets since elementary school. I am experienced with reptiles/amphibians, small animals, as well as cats and dogs. I am very passionate about animal care and currently have a dog, a cat, and several different reptiles. I just graduated and don’t know what I’m going to do yet, so I have a lot of free time to play and hang out with your pets! I can care for your pets however you want me to. I'd like to provide the same level of care that you do and treat your pet like I would my own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have owned cats, parrots, and reptiles throughout that time. I currently have four cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. While I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve been lucky enough to be an honorary “Auntie” to a handful of very special dogs belonging to friends and family. I have plenty of experience spending time with dogs, walking them, caring for them, and—most importantly—spoiling them with lots of love and attention. For years, I traveled frequently for work, which always made me hesitant to get a dog of my own. I knew I’d feel guilty having to constantly arrange care while I was away. Now that my career has calmed down and I’m home much more often, I’d love the opportunity to meet some sweet pups, get to know their individual personalities, and have a few honorary nieces and nephews to dote on! I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give my own. **Daytime Availability:** Monday through Thursday **Overnight Availability:** Any night except Saturday nights Saturday night stays may be possible with advance notice, depending on my availability I prefer to provide overnight care in your pet’s home. I believe pets are generally happiest and most comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual routines, smells, and belongings. Since I have four cats of my own, overnight sitting at your home is also the best fit for me. My cats are friendly with dogs, but they are not comfortable with other cats, and I want to preserve the balance of our established little pack. I own a two story home with plenty of rooms and a fully enclosed patio, which my pets love. However, because of my cats’ needs, I’m generally unable to host other cats in my home. I’m happy to discuss care for dogs and other pets on a case by case basis, with safety, comfort, and individual needs as the top priorities. I take trust and safety seriously and will care for your pets and home with patience, respect, and attention to detail.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Potowomut
Kerry was great. We were on vacation with our dog Bella when Bella got really sick. We could not leave her in the house alone so we checked Rover and found Kerry.. It was such short notice that Kerry responded quickly and agreed to come and watch Bella while we went out for a few hours. Bella seemed to like Carrie and Carrie sent a really cute photo of Bella smiling.. I felt comfortable with Carrie taken care of Bella while she was sick so I can go out for a few hours. Thanks, Kerry.
Kyleigh is fantastic! She took great care of our dog and house during a recent trip. While we were away, our dog had a medical emergency and Kyleigh did everything perfectly to ensure that our pet was safe and well-cared for. Her communication was excellent as well. We would definitely have Kyleigh sit for us again!
Gianna was so wonderful watching Murphy while I was away. He’s a very senior dog and she was nothing but so sweet and caring with him. She stayed with him overnight at my mom’s house and was such a joy to work with. I really appreciate her taking such great care of my old guy!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kharma stayed with this sitter for two weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I received daily updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Kharma was well cared for, engaged, and having a great time. He enjoyed plenty of outdoor time, socialization, and activities, and the sitter followed all of my instructions carefully. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were always responsive, dependable, and professional. This has become my most trusted and frequently used sitter because of their reliability and consistency. Knowing that Kharma is safe, happy, and cared for as if he were their own makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and will absolutely continue booking with them in the future. 🐾❤️
Jasmine was absolutely amazing! We were so grateful to have her stay at our house with our two pups while we were gone for the weekend. She went above and beyond, sent plenty of updates and the pups loved her! We already booked her for another weekend, I highly highly recommend!!
Tanya is amazing! She took the best care of my two pups over a two-week house sit. She kept the dogs on their routine and gave them lots of steps, play time, and snuggles. She sent tons of photos so we never worried, and was super responsive to all communications. She is responsible, reliable, and has a truly gifted way with animals! Our dogs were calm and content when we came home, so we knew they were comfortable with her. We will definitely ask her to sit for us 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 Potowomut 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 Potowomut 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 Potowomut 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.
