About: My family and I have fostered dogs for years. That experience has taught me how to handle everything from nervous rescues to higher energy pups with patience and love. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. My job is hybrid so I’m in office 2 days a week but my work is flexible so there’s always room for adjustments. I care for pets in their own homes to help them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Animals that love to cuddle or play go hand in hand with my personality.
“Amy is wonderful! We have older animals with health issues so I’m always nervous to travel. But having her at my house made me feel confident and secure that they were well cared for while we were so far away. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teen, whether it was my own, my friends, or extended family, I’ve been everyones go to girl. I’ve loved animals since I could talk and will do my best to make sure your babies feel loved and have all their needs met. I try my best to accommodate everyone just make sure to reach out a few days in advance so I can fit you in my schedule! I will make sure to provide a caring and safe environment for all animals whenever I'm present. No animal or pet parent should ever feel afraid or uneasy leaving their pet in my care.
“Dekontee is wonderful! So gracious to accept a last minute booking and she was so kind to both Butters and Tato! Both pets were so calm and comfortable upon my return! I look forward to booking with Dekontee again!”
About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.
“Shannon was great with our 1 year old lab, Baker. She stayed over night while we were away for the weekend. She sent multiple updates and pictures each day!”
“Shayla was absolutely fantastic! She was very open and friendly during our meet and greet; was able to tell my dog loved her immediately! I felt comfortable and informed the whole time I was away. Lots of pictures sent to me of my dog was so sweet to receive! I will definitely be booking with Shayla again! Thanks for taking the BEST care of Sasha 💕”
“Rebecca was awesome! Daily updates and photos! We were gone for 7 nights, and it was so comforting to know someone was here at our home with our pets. Rebecca was also very receptive to all my crazy instructions and notes and did everything to a T! Will definitely be recommending her to our friends and using here again!”
“Dana is awesome. No better way to put it. When we're away and have a lot going on, our pup at home is never a concern and is having a great time when Dana is taking care of her. You can't go wrong with Dana and your furry family member.”
“She did an amazing job with my fur baby. She was easy to communicate with and didn’t sound annoyed 1 time with my repeated “just checking on you calls”. I pray that she remains available for all my upcoming travel dates. Thank you !!”
About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up. Always been such an animal lover! I have a pitbull of my own still! I’ve had her since she was 4 weeks old and is now 9yrs old! I’ve dog sat for many families back in NY. I have experience with all ages and breeds! I’m currently building my salon clientele back after moving so I have plenty of time to be a present sitter! My schedule is very flexible! I can stay at your place if that is easier and more convenient. I live in an apartment complex so i don’t have a fenced in back yard but we do have a dog park!
About: I have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. I regularly pet sit for friends and family, including both dogs and cats, and I’m confident with daily care routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and providing consistent attention. I also have CNA healthcare experience, which has strengthened my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and comfort. I currently live in a pet-free home, which allows me to board animals in a calm environment without other animals getting in the way. With a flexible schedule and 24+ hours’ notice, I’m able to accommodate a range of pet care requests including boarding, sitting, and drop-ins. I prioritize reliability, communication, and creating a calm, consistent experience for every pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and attentive care in every booking. As a responsible dog owner, I’m confident handling dogs of different temperaments and enjoy taking them on regular walks. You can feel assured your dog will be safe, cared for, and well looked after with me.
“Beth is absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our Emma. She was so attentive to all of her needs and sent us great updates. We can’t wait to have her take care of our girl in the future.”
About: I’ve lived with all kinds of animals my entire life, I live on a farm and understand the hardships and responsibility of having a pet, and people known me to be a responsible care giver. I have also pet sitter before. Personally in my experience and love for animals, there is never not a good time to give your pets the love and time they deserve/need. I take my pets out to go to the bathroom throughout the day, I feed them breakfast and dinner, and give them cuddles and playtime on their terms.

Isabel was wonderful with Lily! She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout Lily’s stay with plenty of pictures and videos, including clips of their walks. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Lily was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Isabel again. Five stars!
Amazing Experience with Samantha! I recently used Rover for the first time and had Samantha watch my dog, Cookie, for the weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! 🐾❤️ A few weeks before our booking, Samantha took the time to meet Cookie, ask questions, and learn about her personality and background. I really appreciated how caring and thorough she was from the very beginning. Samantha did an amazing job this weekend! She stayed in constant communication with me, sent me pictures and updates, and even stayed overnight with Cookie. Cookie doesn’t do well with someone just coming and going or simply letting her out and feeding her, so having Samantha there with her made such a huge difference. Cookie absolutely loved having the company! 🥰🐶 I felt completely comfortable knowing Cookie was in such good hands. Samantha was kind, responsible, communicative, and truly went above and beyond. I would definitely book Samantha again and 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. Thank you so much, Samantha, for taking such great care of our Cookie! ❤️🐾
Emma was fantastic! We so greatly appreciate her communication, promptness, extra care, and attention to our dog, and are home! She was absolutely a pleasure to work with, and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her! We will definitely be booking again!
Lindsey was amazing to work with! She house sat while we were on our trip for the weekend, and provided multiple updates throughout the day. Our dog Arlo has pretty bad separation anxiety- and she did an incredible job with taking care of him and his needs while we were away. I’d highly recommend her!
Samantha is an awesome Dog Sitter! She pays incredible attention to detail, she is communicative, responsible, and always leaves my home looking better than she found it. So thankful to have found her! I always feel great when I’m leaving my dog Jackson in her care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Progress Village is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,371 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Progress Village. 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 Progress Village 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 Progress Village 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 Progress Village 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.
