“Marie was an absolute joy and took amazing care of my cat, Arbie, and dog, Tycho. Not only was she willing to sit with fairly short notice but did everything right. 12/10 would recommend! 😊”
“Emma was so great with our cat, Finn! She communicated well (and sent pictures!) while we were away. She even brought in our mail and fed our fish which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again if we’re in need of another sitter!”
“Sunnel was amazing and we will be using them again! Sunnel went above and beyond taking care of our animals; giving us consistent updates, taking our dog on multiple walks per day, and giving our cats plenty of play time and attention! If you are looking for a pet sitter that treats your animals like their own and respects your home, I can’t recommend Sunnel enough!”
“Rebecca is wonderful. She helped us last minute when we needed it and took care of our two pups. One of our dogs is recovering from a surgery and Rebecca did a great job managing his meds and the physical therapy he needed daily. I would 10/10 recommend her and look forward to working with her again the in future.”
“Wish I had more stars to give! Samantha is great with dogs. Our terrier mix, Charlotte, warmed up to Samantha from the first moment they met. She slept peacefully knowing Samantha was here for her. On the second day, Samantha was greeted with full body wiggles and wags. Excellent caregiver, early both days. Great job!!!”
“Reese is absolutely fantastic. Both Bertha and Milo absolutely loved her. She stayed with them for the week and took care of all of their needs. I would highly recommend and will be sure to contact her again when I need another sitter.”
“Kimberly was a great dog sitter for our dog, and I highly recommend her! She was incredibly responsible and kept us updated regularly throughout dog sitting duration. We especially appreciated how proactive she was in reaching out whenever she had a question or wanted to check on something. The frequent updates and all the wonderful pictures gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Kimberly truly went above and beyond. When we returned, not only had she taken excellent care of our dog, but she had also cleaned the house and even washed the sheets and blankets which was something we never expected but greatly appreciated. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, and caring dog sitter, Kimberly is an excellent choice.”
“Samantha did a great job watching Shay for us while we went out of town. Shay got her walks and car rides which she loves. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog.”

“Anya was wonderful and our dogs loved her. She did a great job ensuring they were well taken care of and loved. She helped take care of things around the house and sent pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend her.”
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.
About: I have 1 year of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for dogs and other pets with many different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, cuddling, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will happily send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and playtime schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine comfortable and familiar while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions and keep pets supervised, secure, and away from anything unsafe. I’m attentive to their needs, routines, and individual personalities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own.
About: What sets me apart from other dog and cat sitters is my personalized approach and deep love for animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and safe. With a strong background in pet care and a genuine passion for animals, I provide reliable, attentive service that keeps both pets and owners at ease. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in expert hands while you’re away. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize offering flexible care, especially on weekends and holidays when many other sitters are unavailable. I understand that pets need attention and consistency, even during off hours. By providing services during these times, I ensure your pet receives reliable care when you need it most. Whether it’s a holiday getaway or a weekend trip, you can trust that your pet will be in safe, loving hands without interruption. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with a fenced yard where pets can run, play, and explore freely. Your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise, fun, and one on one attention in a secure setting. Whether it's playtime outdoors or cozy relaxation indoors, I ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, fish, and more. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning, nail/hair care, and maintaining their normal routines. I’m also very comfortable with anxious, energetic, stubborn, or easily overwhelmed animals and know how to handle each pet based on their individual personality, age, and needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I do have a full time job myself on the weekdays till 6pm however am free if anyone needs a night sitter/walker/ or needs me to stop by feed/bath or cleanup after the animals. I am free most weekends however and could help out whenever Saturday and Sundays I do live in an apartment however it is pretty spacious with just me living in it, there multiple rooms and I have easy access to an outside yard to walk any animal. There is also a park right down the street if there's a bigger dog that needs a longer walk I typically walk about 2 miles myself either way and wouldn't mind a walking buddy. I am also a neat freak in a sense where I don't have clutter-full items hanging around anywhere so there would be nothing concerning for any animal to get to or eat
“Wonderful! Sam helped us in a last minute situation and I couldn’t recommend her more! We have two slightly rambunctious dogs and she handled them wonderfully - updating me regularly with pictures and how they were doing. We felt comfortable knowing that the dogs and house were in good hands.”
“Xavier was diligent and trustworthy. He gave us appropriate updates while we were away and the cat and dog were happy and healthy upon our return. I will definitely book Xavier again!”
“Heath is so great with my dog Scott. He sends updates and check ups to let you know how things are going. It makes traveling so much less stressful knowing that my dog is being taken care of.”
“5/5 Stars! Highly Recommend! Xinwei is hands down one of the best pet sitters we have ever used! While we have worked with pet walkers in the past, Xinwei was our very first time trusting someone to stay overnight with our pups, and he completely blew us away. From start to finish, his attention to detail and thoughtful care exceeded all of our expectations. He took the time to truly understand our pups' routines, personalities, and specific needs, making sure every detail, from feeding and exercise to late night comfort, was followed to a T. Knowing our dogs were in such attentive, loving hands for their first overnight stay gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Beyond being wonderful with our pups, Xinwei was exceptionally respectful of our home. We returned to find everything immaculate, honestly, even better than we left it! Xinwei is genuinely kind, reliable, and deeply professional. We look forward to using him again and definitely will, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional, trustworthy sitter!”
About: I used to work for a doggy daycare in Brookline MA and have had plenty of experience with a lot of different kinds of dogs. I have also been dog sitting for my brother for years and have watched many family pets. I can read dogs well and I know how to keep them happy and healthy I will keep a good eye on your pet as long as I am there. I can help whenever I am available! I love to be outside and get exercise with pets I follow all the rules of the pet owners household and keep a good eye on the pet. I can feed them, take them for walks and play with them as much as needed

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Primrose
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely the BEST Pet Sitter We Could Have Ever Asked For! We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible care Heather provided for our Maggie and Gracie this past week! From the moment we entrusted our fur babies to her care, we knew they were in the best hands. What truly sets this Heather apart is that she didn’t just meet our expectations — she went above and beyond in every possible way. Maggie and Gracie received so much love, attention, and personalized care that I’m not even sure they missed us! From making sure they were fed and comfortable to keeping them entertained, exercising Maggie, and even working on some training, our pets were treated like family. It was clear that their happiness, well-being, and individual needs were a genuine priority. Leaving your beloved pets in someone else’s care requires a tremendous amount of trust, and having someone who treats them with such patience, dedication, and affection is priceless. The peace of mind we had knowing they were safe, loved, stimulated, and well cared for meant the world to us. We are beyond grateful to have found Heather, someone so dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful with animals. Maggie and Gracie were incredibly lucky to have such amazing care, and we feel just as lucky to have found this exceptional pet sitter! If you are looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were their own, look no further! We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Five stars simply don’t seem like enough! 🐾❤️
Heather was absolutely great. Treated are puppy like she was her own. Very professional and warm and friendly. Keep us up to date day and night. Made our vacation so much more fun as we never had to even think our puppy was not being taking care of. Walked her every day and we could tell our puppy loved Heather. Would highly recommend Heather to everyone. Could not ask for a better experience.
I cannot say enough great things about Heather. She genuinely cared about Annabelle and Smitty and worked hard to make them feel safe and comfortable. One of the dogs is elderly and the other is very anxious. I was not worried with Heather watching the dogs. Heather put me at ease at our first meeting. She is amazing and I highly recommend her❤️.

FAQs for House Sitting - Primrose
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,144 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Primrose. 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 Primrose 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 Primrose 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 Primrose 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 Primrose. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
