“Amelia was amazing, my fur babies all loved her, they were happy and comfortable, she was communicative with her daily updates and prompt answering my questions! 100% will book her again if she’s available!”
“Corina was absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend as a dog sitter. We have two larger/mid-size dogs. We received updates and photos at least twice a day. Communication was smooth and proactive. We know everything was being handled with care and as if we were home with them. The girls had the best time!”
“This was our first time using a service like this and the experience was great. I put my request in the app and Regan reached out right away. It was a last minute booking and she made time to come over the day before our trip to meet our 3 dogs. I received daily updates and pictures of the dogs. I was able to relax on vacation knowing that they were being well taken care. We loved Regan so much that we booked her again!”
“Lucrecia was great! Our dog is a bit nervous when we leave, so we tend to go overboard on instructions. Lucrecia was very understanding and our Zeus seems very happy and relaxed around her.”

About: Hi! I’m Madi — a lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a senior cat and a dog, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities, routines, and care needs that pets can have.I’m especially comfortable with cats (including shy or senior cats), but I also enjoy spending time with dogs who love walks, playtime, and outdoor time. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend meaningful time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines — whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more time with your pets I’m caring for rather than rushing through visits. It also means I’m able to check in during the day and be attentive to routines, feeding times, and any changes in behavior. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and environment. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules closely, keep litter boxes clean, and spend time observing behavior to make sure cats are relaxed and healthy while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details like secure doors, safe spaces, and minimizing stress. I also work remotely, which gives me flexibility to spend meaningful time with pets during visits rather than rushing through tasks. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has a 14-year-old poodle mix named Snowy back home in Houston, so I’m very comfortable providing patient, gentle, and attentive care for senior dogs. I also have experience with younger dogs through my cousin’s puppy, who is now a large Goldendoodle, such a cutie and still a baby at heart! ❤️ I also live with my roommate’s three Chihuahuas, who are 2, 8, and 13 years old, which has given me experience with dogs at different stages of life. My friends and family regularly trust me to take care of their pets when they travel or go out of town, so I’m used to being responsible for their routines and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me some flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m generally available in the mornings, afternoons between classes, and evenings. I have flexibility to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep up with their usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any other special care. I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure they’re in a safe environment where they can feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated and communicate with them if I have any questions or concerns. I want to make sure their owners don’t have to worry while they’re away having fun or busy with whatever they have planned.
“It's always a challenge finding someone to stay in my home that I can fully trust to not only care for my animals, but also respect my property and belongings. Paige took ALL those worries away and we are so extremely grateful to have found her! She is responsible, clean, and most importantly - Caring, loving and kind. She immediately bonded with my dogs upon arrival, sent daily updates of what they were up to and left a clean house for us to come home to after a long day of traveling. If you want to take a vacation and not have to stress over who's taking care of your life - Paige is your girl!”
About: Other than growing up with my own dogs at home, I’ve volunteered and worked at animal shelters as a kennel technician- I have a lot of patience for dogs of all types and temperaments. My childhood dog was very timid, so I’m extra sympathetic to dogs who need a bit more personal space. I’m a college student doing a lot of online classes. The only times I’m needed on campus are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 am-12:30 pm, so my spare time can be happily dedicated to your dog. I will act in close accordance with any specific instructions given. If your dog is shy, I will respect their space- if they are high-energy, I am very capable of matching that too! I also have no qualms for cleaning up messes. Any concerns will be communicated asap.
About: you'll love the care i provide because, i have had years of experience with animals and different breeds of dogs. i love everything about animals, i have have two of my own. i have been around pets an have learned a lot about the different characteristics and emotions dogs go through and tend to show. i work well with sick/ aggressive animals as well. i have actively been working with animals for 16 years now but, i grew up and was born with an animal oriented family/household. i plan on one day becoming a vet. i am very excited to be apart of this site because i get to expand my work. I am currently working Part-time so my schedule is more flexible! i’m available from 10:30 an to around 10pm on weekdays. weekends vary as I work in home health so they’re a bit busier than the week. I currently live in an apartment with my 2 small dogs, 1 cat and my bearded dragon :) my cat has an automatic feeder and litter box but I walk the dogs at least 3 times a day. they all love to sunbathe on the patio while I do work (my beardie included hehe)
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and many years of looking after small dogs for family and friends. Whether your pet is a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a professional nap enthusiast, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day—whether that means playtime, cuddle time, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I have extensive experience with cats and am comfortable caring for multiple pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and become their new favorite sitter! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I’m used to planning my days around a schedule. I’m happy to work with your routine and find times that fit both of our schedules. I’m available outside of my work hours and on weekends, and I’m flexible when it comes to coordinating drop-ins, walks, or stays. Just let me know what your pets are used to and what you need, and we can figure out what works! Since I work full-time Monday through Friday, I know how important it is to have someone reliable who can fit into your pets’ normal routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it and keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone.
About: i’ve taken care of family pets, helped with walks and check in before! i absolutely strive my best to take care of the babies while families are away for a little! i currently work full time mon-thurs 8-5:30 and fridays i am home by 12:30 and off the weekends. we go to dog parks and walks after work and especially on weekends every dog with me stays on leash or i am very hands and eyes on if a dog is off leash trained. not many dogs at my apartment complex to worry about!
About: Please check my available hours!! I am a student currently! I interned at Bethany Pet Hospital, which had a boarding area, my senior year of highschool. Right now I am a student, on break, at Texas State University and plan to pursue vet school after I graduate. I am now living on Texas State University campus. I am available fully from Friday-Sunday. During the week, except monday, I have classes from 12-5 so, any time before and after that works for me. On mondays I only have class from 12-2. Because my dog is territorial I perfer to pet sit at your house instead of mine. My dog does go to daycare Wednesday and Friday so if needed your oet can come over. When I arrive I like to know as many details as possible like exact times for feeding and walking. If your pet is managable I can also do nail trims and baths if you provide the products.

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 Redwood 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 Redwood 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 Redwood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
