“My dog just went through a few stressful events that has made him very anxious around strangers but he was very comfortable with Joe. We did a meet and greet before booking he did not show signs of anxiousness; in fact he took to Joe immediately licking him on his face. Joe then watched him all day on back to back days over the weekend which went very well. My dog was relaxed all day and did not have any issues. Joe is very flexible, priced extremely reasonable and I look forward to using him again in the future.”
“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”
“We're always anxious about who we leave in charge of our fur babies as well as our home. Courtney has been amazing for two separate overnights now. Super communicative, and the dogs seem immediately comfortable with her. We've found our new sitter!”
“Gabby was attentive and caring for my Siberian Husky for the time I was gone. She sent daily updates that put my mind at ease, and loved him like one of her own.”
“What an absolutely incredible person! I feel so lucky that we found Lucy. Our pup is 13.5 years old and requires insulin twice daily. Lucy handled our pup an here medical issues with no problem. We got so many pictures and videos and came home to a wonderful surprise (photos of our pup!). Lucy is the best and I will use her whenever I can!!”
“Gabbi was so very amazing! We were nervous to leave our dogs last minute but she was reassuring and also made them feel super comfortable. I could tell in the pictures she sent and when we got home that our dogs were very happy with her. Thank you Gabbi!”
“Joy was so thoughtful, paid attention to all the details, and our cats liked her immediately. She took great care of our girls and our home while we were away. She is very responsive and sent lots of pictures which we really appreciated! We would definitely book her again!”
“Leigh was wonderful. We have a very scared rescue dog and she was great with him. Very communicative, providing daily updates with pictures. She took him on walks which he loved. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our nervous rescue with her. Would definitely book her again!”
“Cotter was great with our two dogs! He helped us out in a crunch over the holiday weekend, was extremely responsive and provided a ton of updates. Our dogs were very comfortable with him, we will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you Cotter!”
“Caitlin was great! She was so attentive and sweet to our Chico bean! She was communicative, thorough, and gave our boy such great attention while house sitting with Chico. I’d absolutely use her services again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great care taker for their fur babies!”
About: Since I was young, I have been around various breeds of dogs. I have always loved being around other pets as well. I’ve pet sat for bunnies, cats, dogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs at my family home since I was 15 years old and I also took care of my own dog for over 13 years. I currently work full time from 8-5 on weekdays. I am free after 5 to pet sit on weekdays. I’m only fully available to care for your pet on weekends and usually Fridays after 5pm.
“Andrea was great with our anxious French bulldog. She went above and beyond watering the gardens and caring for the animals. She was communicative and sent pics of our pup. We will absolutely hire her again to house and pet sit! Highly recommend.”
About: I adore animals and like to treat everyone as if it’s my own. I have been pet sitting throughout college and post grad for about 5 years now. I am incredibly reliable and will treat your space as if it’s my own. I work a fully remote job. I am incredibly flexible and able to care to all your pets needs. Welcome all jobs short or long. I like to keep your furry friend on there set schedule and routines. Everyone operates differently like to meet with the family and see what is best for your animal while you’re away. Love sending lots of updates and pictures throughout the process.
“Maria was an excellent pet sitter. We were out of town for a few days and Maria stayed with our two dogs and a cat. The house looked great and the animals were cared for and happy on our return. We will book Maria again. Thank you!”
“David, was great with our 85+lb 1 year old puppy. He kept him safe, gave him plenty of exercise and attention, and even some training reinforcement. David was punctual, neat and tidy in the house, and truly loves animals. I would not hesitate to use him again and have already booked for our next service.”
“We had some last minute changes because I got sick and Brandon was super flexible and responsive. He’s great with our dog and our dog adores him. He takes him on long walks, very on top of food, water and medication. Took excellent care of the house as well.”
“Isabelle took excellent care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She communicated often throughout her stay and made sure our little guy was well taken care of. We'll definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Carrigan took great care of Sadie. She was on time and in touch with us regularly while we were away. Sadie was happy to see us and Sadie was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her and we will re-book with her next time we are away.”

Laura stayed in my home and cared for my dog for 2-1/2 weeks while I was traveling. She took Dinah for long walks in the woods and they seemed to have a great time together. I was relaxed knowing that my dog and my home were in Laura’s responsible hands. She’s the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,664 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Purdys. 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 Purdys 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 Purdys 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 Purdys 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Purdys. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
