“Juliana and Celeb did a wonderful job at carrying for our two dogs. Our pups feel in love with Juliana. And she showed them so much love and attention while we were out of town. They didn’t even act like they missed us, hahaha. We will definitely be using them again. They took excellent care of our home and even made sure our plantings were watered in this record breaking heat. My husband and I felt so good while away knowing our babies were being cared for by two people who love dogs and are very good with them. Thank you both for being so awesome with Bandit and Boone.”
“Hannah was fantastic! She took very good care of my two fur babies. She was a great communicator as well. There was a little glitch with her ability to get into my house, and Hannah remained calm and figured out the situation before I even had a chance to respond to her text. I highly recommend Hannah!”
“Such a compassionate Petsitter that treats the animals like a pet nanny! The animals loved her. To boot, I had recently gotten an equine that had bloodwork come back the day before our trip which necessitated special treatment. She handled it like a pro and my girl took to her right away. Would highly recommend even at the peril of having her booked up when we might like to have her sit for us.”
About: I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible pet sitter and dog walker who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! I’m currently a part-time cleaner so I have plenty of time and flexibility in my weekly schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I’m also available most weekends. I care for animals as if they were part of my own family. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and meals according to their normal routine. I also take the time to learn each pet’s individual personality, habits, and needs so I can give them personalized care.
About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I am currently pursuing my education to become a Small and Large Animal Veterinarian and specialize in Animal Psychology and Internal Medicine/Oncology. Through my experience, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in pet training, dog walking, proper nutrition and feeding, and medication administration. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job on Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Saturday from 2:30 PM to 8:30 PM, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for my pet care clients. I keep my Rover calendar up to date to accurately reflect my availability, though occasional changes may arise. If you don't see the dates or times you need, I encourage you to reach out anyway—I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide exceptional care for your furry family member! I do not offer in-home boarding, but I am happy to provide care in your home. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When possible, I am available for extended stays, which can provide added consistency for your pet’s care and fit well with my schedule. I also recommend that clients leave detailed care instructions, as every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences.
About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a friendly mini golden doodle, I specialize in dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, and care. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your furry friend. Pet-friendly and full of love, I'll give your dog the attention and care they deserve! I'm currently working full time but Monday-Friday I'm available after 5. Depending on how early, I can do the morning on weekdays too. I’m available all day and night on weekends. When I am with your pet, it will be loved all the way until you return. There are already dogs that live with me, and they will learn to love your dogs. There isn't a fenced in area, but I always have the dogs on a leash and watch them carefully.
“Madison was wonderful! I had a last minute trip and struggled to find anyone but she came through. My one cat requires medication twice a day and that wasn't an issue for her. She provided photo updates and was super flexible when we were arriving back late. She also responded very timely to messages. You can tell she cares for animals. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs but have a solid 5 years of independent experience (without family) caring for my current long haired cat, Darcy! I currently live with five cats and have past experience with dogs as well! I am very patient and quick at understanding the needs of each pet. Their comfort is most important to me! I have just recently been offered a part time job as a barista! So, I will have plenty of free time to fill! I do not work Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I’d have the full day to be filled! As for the other days of the week I will still have much free time, but I’d have to work around my work schedule no problem! Plus additional days off depending on my schedule. I know the importance of respect, accountability, and responsibility when being a guest in any persons home, so caring for a clients pet in their home would be no different! I am happy to do what is requested of me and not overstepping boundaries!
“What a great experience! My boys loved Kiah from the moment they met her. She takes care of humans too by letting me know how they were doing, and sending photos often. I will definitely be booking with Kiah again!”
“Amazing house sitter, responsible and communicative! We had Jeff stay at our house for a week with our elderly pitbull and energetic saluki. Jeff took great care of our boys and our house and kept us updated the whole time. He is friendly and professional, 10/10 would reccommend!”
About: I am a lover of all animals and will treat yours like my own. I was a Dog Trainer at Petsmart for 3 years. I have two dogs, two horses, and a cat of my own. We live on a farm that opens up to the woods so we love to exercise and we also love to hit the trails at Solider's Delight or the Westminster pond. All sizes and breeds are welcome. If they need special care or medication, I am also able to assist with that. If there's any other pets in the house, I am knowledgeable with most. You’re welcome to call and check in at any time, and you’ll receive text or email updates daily. I hope you will consider me in your search to find someone to care for your pet family. I work full time, but happy to help your family out with the furry, feathery, or scaling member of the family just like my own. Just like my own! I try to stay as organized as possible, so a list to go off of is preferred! I'm happy to spend time caring for your pet.

About: Hi there! I’ve had worked as a veterinary rehab assistant for 3 years, caring for both dogs and cats as they heal and recover. This experience has taught me so much about animal behavior, comfort, and how to give pets the patience and attention they deserve. At home, I’m also a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or making sure they stick to their routines, I treat every pet like my own. ✨ Availability: • All week (Sunday-Saturday): Full-time availability for pet care so you can take a break and relax. • Overnights: I’m available to stay with your pets overnight. In your home, I follow your pets’ normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable.

“Bronte is amazing! I left my 2 high energy dogs (vizslas) with Bronte overnight. This was my first time ever leaving my dogs with another person, so I was very nervous. Bronte was so amazing and communicative that I didn't worry at all while I was gone. She took great care of my dogs and my home. One of my dogs is on medication, which wasn't a problem at all for Bronte. She sent me pictures and videos, kept me updated, and my dogs were clearly having a ton of fun with her. I would leave my dogs with Bronte again in a heartbeat. She was awesome.”
About: I’ve always had animals of all kinds. I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, reptiles, and fish! I’m well versed in giving medication to all sorts of animals, and I do best with quiet or skittish animals that need some extra patience I have a lovely part time job working on dog-friendly farms with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most of the time for pet care with minimal heads up! For boarding I have a yard with a long line for potty breaks, a private dog park with 24/7 access, two state parks within 20 minutes of me for hiking, and a 1,300 sq ft house with tons of toys and the ability to section my house off if pets need their personal space. I also have a friends farm I love to walk pets at as there’s no ‘public’! In the clients home I match care instructions to the letter as well as see if I can get the pet to interact with the toys and space available.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Railroad
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jillian was absolutely amazing! She watched our dogs, Ruby and Ronan, for a week while we were at the beach, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She took great care of them, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy pups! We would gladly have her watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Kaylee did an amazing job of taking care of my fur family. She was proactive in meeting with me and my cats to make sure I was comfortable and the cats felt comfortable with her. She read my care instructions and asked good questions. She checked in frequently to help put my mind at ease. She was patient with my senior kitties who need lots of attention. She spoiled them with snuggles and movie night! She did a great job and planning on rebooking with her.

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 Railroad 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 Railroad 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 Railroad 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 Railroad. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
