“Monika goes above & beyond for our two dogs. She is incredibly caring and attentive, making sure to stick to their normal routine. We especially appreciate the regular updates and adorable pics! Thanks Monika”
About: What sets me apart is the unrivaled companionship I provide by working from home full time. Your pet is never left alone, making me the ideal choice for anxious rescues or senior dogs requiring extra patience. I am highly experienced in administering medications and managing low mobility routines, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, expert care in a calm and supervised environment. As a full time remote worker, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily life. Your dog becomes my 'office mate,' enjoying constant companionship and frequent potty breaks while I work. My day follows a structured rhythm of morning walks, midday mental stimulation, and evening wind downs with plenty of cuddles. I am always present to monitor senior dogs, administer medications, and ensure your pet feels like a true member of my family. My schedule is open a month at a time, so if you need something further out please reach out and if I'm available I can open those days for you. Safety is my top priority, whether in my home or yours. I maintain a pet-proofed environment free of hazards and always perform 'double door' checks to prevent escapes. During walks, I utilize secure harnesses and remain hyper-aware of surroundings. I provide frequent photo updates and clear communication so you have total peace of mind, knowing your pet is supervised, secure, and treated with the utmost professional care.
About: I've had animals most my life. From dogs,cats,horses,cows,pigs,rabbits, and even goats. I treat all pets as members of my own family :) I look forward to meeting yours As I'm living local and have a doggo of my very own. I'm available most evenings and weekends without issue to help take care of others pets too. As someone who's raised all sorts of animals I have a love and understanding for all animals and have experience with every age of pets as well
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.
“Emma is amazing with my dog, Kevin! He has fear and can take a minute to warm up to people but he warmed up to Emma right away!! She was confident and comfortable with him which he can send. She stayed to house sit for two nights and I received regular updates on how my boy was doing and of course, the house was just as I left it when I got back. Kevin loved her so much and was happy as a clam when I got home. She spoiled him.”
“We had a great experience! Rebecca stepped in at the last minute and took amazing care of our three dogs for two weeks on the first time using her. Communication was excellent, we received regular updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and loved. They became great friends with her pup pawprint as well. We came home to happy pups and couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Jenna did a great job communicating while taking care of our dogs! It was clear she spent a lot of her time with them making sure they were comfortable while we were on vacation. Would definitely recommend her to dog sit!”
“Sandra has a beautiful soul. She took such good care of my babies. She sent me pictures of them made into these lovely collages that I know took time and care to create. I rebooked her for my next trip already!”
“This was our second time working with Rachel and she did an excellent job taking care of our dog while we were away. She is prompt, polite, and easy to communicate with.”
About: I have adored animals for as long as I can remember and grew up with cats and dogs always by my side. Caring for them has been a major part of my life, leading me to provide pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years. I am very comfortable caring for companions of all stages and personalities, from high-energy puppies to senior or sick animals. Because I have experience administering medications, I can manage your baby's health needs and always prioritize making every pet feel completely safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I build my entire schedule around the comfort of the animals I'm caring for! I ensure that your fur babies receive consistent, dedicated attention throughout, whether that looks like walks, playtime or cuddles. I provide care inside your home so your pets can feel comfortable in their familiar space! I follow their routines for meals, fresh water, potty breaks, and exercise, while making sure their space stays tidy. My goal is to keep things as close to "normal" as possible, giving your pets the extra love and security they need to stay happy and ease while you're away! Since I’m currently pet sitting full time, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve! A typical day includes lots of pets and attention, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, meals according to their normal schedule, and plenty of cuddles. My goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable and and safe while you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s individual needs! Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, belly rubs, or just laying beside me, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and preferences.
“My intuition regarding Amy was spot on! She was wonderful; loving, caring and attentive to needs of my pets as well as mine. I was able to travel and enjoy my trip thanks to Amy. All was good while I was away, and at home when I arrived. I will CERTAINLY be hiring her again. Do not think twice in hiring her!!! Thank you Amy for EVERYTHING ?”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and more than 5 years rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming street dogs, I bring a unique combination of compassion, skill, and reliability. I currently volunteer at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, where I work hands-on with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, safe, and loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. Your pet will be treated like family—because caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work in delivery, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available at almost any time of the day. I do prefer morning appointments, but I’m always willing to adjust to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they receive the best care possible. In my home, pets enjoy a spacious and secure backyard where they can relax and play comfortably. They sleep inside the house with all the care and comforts they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adapt to the services they request — whether it’s stopping by once or twice a day for feeding and walks, or staying overnight to ensure their pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for.
“Rebecca was wonderful with our anxious old pup and took the time to come meet him beforehand and learn about him. Hoping she’s available to book for our other upcoming travel dates!”
About: I have owned pets all my life! I’d like to say we are the family who takes in an animal when they need a home. I will love and treat your animal as my own. My home is their home and they will feel just as loved! I currently work full time 8am-5pm. Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s I am fully remote. And home on weekends. My mother who resides in the same household works fully remote. You animals will never be along and will always have care. I have 3 friendly dogs who are fully crate trained and always looking for their next best friend! Our dogs are taken outside every 2 hours on a leash due to being in an apartment and walked.
“I recently hired Abby for overnight pet sitting, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment she arrived, it was clear my pets were in caring, capable hands. She took the time to understand each animal’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs, and it showed—everyone was relaxed, happy, and well cared for when I returned. I received thoughtful updates throughout the stay, including photos and little notes that gave me total peace of mind. The house was left spotless, and my pets clearly adored the extra attention and calm presence. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. I will absolutely be booking Abby again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy overnight sitter who treats your pets like their own.”
“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!”
“My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!”

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!
Jade is AMAZING! She watched our two cats and dog while we were away. She sent the best pictures of our fur babies everyday. Kept us updated and is great with response time. We definitely will be choosing Jade again in the future. I highly recommend having her!
Fantastic experience with this sitter! She stayed overnight with Jaxx and took great care of him, regular walks, fresh water, and awesome communication throughout. I really appreciated the photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Jaxx was clearly well cared for. Would absolutely book with her again!
Lane was amazing!!! So kind, quick to communicate and our dogs took to her immediately. I have trouble trusting if our dogs are comfortable or being taken care of to our standards and felt 0 anxiety with Lane watching them. So many pictures of them snuggling & being goofy I knew they were well taken care of! Will 100% use Lane again the future if she’s available.
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.

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.
<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 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.
