“Tanesha was awesome! I am a crazy dog mom, and I needed someone last minute to watch my two high energy pups while we were gone for a wedding. We had never had a house sitter before so I was quite nervous, but Tanesha made me feel at ease! She kept me updated and always responded to me if I reached out! My pups loved her!! She kept the busy and I have two Aussiedoodles who love to play! My house was left in better condition than I left it! I have 0 complaints and I would definitely book her again!”

“This is the second time we have used Julie. We were very pleased with the communication while we were gone for two weeks. She advised when there were any issues with the dogs. My two Frenchies absolutely love her. I came home to a clean house. We are looking forward to using Julie again.”
“For a first-time Rover user with a slightly anxious Cat, it was important for me to find the right sitter. Cherie is kind, empathetic and caring and set my mind at rest. I asked for more communication and she kept me updated on how my cat was doing. I plan to use her again in the coming weeks, but from this initial experience, I highly recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a genuine and warm cat sitter who takes care of your pet (and home) in a personable and trustworthy manner. Thank you, Cherie!”
“Clara took great care of our three dogs, including one with special needs. She stayed in communication with us, sent updates, and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and our home was in perfect shape when we returned. We would absolutely book her again!”
“OMG, Bethany is amazing. First, she read the instructions and asked really good questions. Throughout her stay, she kept me up to date, spoiled my dog with double walks, and even gave Buddy a bath. Buddy was calm and content when I got home. I wish I could go another trip so Bethany could dog sit again.”
“Vicki was an exceptional in-house dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. Left my dogs happy, healthy, and my home spotless. Couldn't ask for a better pet-sitting experience. Highly recommend!”
“My husband and I have never used Rover before and always took our dogs to a pet hotel for weekend trips but after our experience with Jazmin we are never going back to pet hotels! She really went above and beyond for our pets. We booked her for house sitting and drop ins over the 2 week Christmas break while my husband and I went out of town and she was extremely respectful and communicative throughout the whole process. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and got along great with my Great Dane and Biewer terrier and followed all the instructions we left her. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were well taken cared of and in the comfort of their own home. I will 1000% hire Jazmin again for any of our pet sitting needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rayford
I have a few rescue dogs and they all have different issues. We normally take them with us when we travel but couldn’t this time. Maria was a Godsend, took care of their idiosyncrasies and did a great job communicating what was going on. Five stars. Highly recommend.
I was very anxious about leaving 4 cats at home with a sitter. One requires daily meds & two require staying separated & switch rooms every couple of days. We also have a very active needy Devon Rex. Caitlin was outstanding & calmed my fears instantly. She is very capable & the cats all loved her. She sent several updates with pictures. She is the best!
Bettina is the best dog sitter we have ever had! She sent pictures and videos at every visit. She is incredibly kind and our dogs loved her so much. She played with them, cuddled with them, and really spent time with them. I can not recommend her enough. She is wonderful!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Bentley! Stacy stayed in our home with him while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and trustworthy hands. She took such great care of Bentley and were incredibly respectful of our home. She kept us updated, gave Bentley lots of love and attention, and made sure he stayed comfortable and happy throughout our time away. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a home exactly as we left it meant so much to us. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with Stacy again!
Aubrey was absolutely incredible! She stayed overnight with our Belgian Malinois and Siberian Husky for three days and took wonderful care of both of them. If you know the breeds then you are aware of how important it is to have someone with experience and very trustworthy! She was extremely respectful of our home, communicated consistently, and always let us know when she would be away from the house. She followed all of their care instructions perfectly, including special food and medication. Everything went so smoothly, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. If I could give Aubrey more than five stars, I absolutely would. We would happily book her again and plan to for all future trips without hesitation!
Malachi was wonderful! He house sitting our two dogs for a week and everything went so well! He sent us pictures and kept us updated. We highly recommend Malachi, our crazy dogs absolutely love him. He is a great dog sitter, very respectful and responsible.
Shanna did an amazing job taking care of our three fur babies! She kept us updated throughout our time away and made sure we knew how each one was doing. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our pups a bath when he was feeling a little itchy. It was clear that she truly cared for them and treated them like her own. Honestly, I think our pups were almost disappointed to see us come home so soon because they were having such a great time with her! We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend Shanna and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!
Nicole and her husband came to visit the dogs beforehand and are very nice people! Took a little too long to reply for us at some times but kept us updated as things arose. We had some damage, from the dogs that was communicated to us, on the baseboards that were a little excessive so we were a little upset about that. The house was very clean when we did come back though!

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 Rayford 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 Rayford 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 Rayford 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!

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 .
