“I can’t recommend Gabriela enough! She helped me out on very short notice, and I’m so grateful she was available. My dog can be a handful—he’s big (around 100 pounds) and very affectionate—but she handled him with so much patience and confidence. It’s clear she really understands dogs, especially larger breeds, and knows how to manage their energy while still giving them the love and attention they need. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with dogs, Gabriela is the one!”
“We left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.”
About: I have been walking and watching for dogs since I was in high school and I am now 33, so it’s been a while. I have three of my own fur babies and I am very particular about who I let watch them. I understand our dogs are apart of our family, which is exactly how I would treat them. I love spending time with dogs, talking to them and making them feel special. I do have a full time job as a mental health therapist but my schedule is flexible which allows me to give the fur babies the correct amount of exercise and attention. I have spent time volunteering in shelters and I am able to work with dogs that may be more timid or shy. I work from home and so have a flexible schedule where I’d have the ability to help out with doggos. I use this as a side gig so I am very flexible. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I always carry extra leashes or harnesses with me in case they are needed. I will follow the instructions given to me by the owner.
“Brady went above and beyond taking care of our dogs through a medical situation. He was very communicative and responded promptly to any requests! He also didn't hesitate to include our bonus animals (aquariums/caged) in his care.”
“Overall, Kellsey did great with caring for my dogs! My girls can “pout” a bit while I am away and she made sure that she messaged me to ensure that they were ok and that it was normal. She was able to meet my girls before my trip so that I knew they got along well!”
About: I am a 28 year old animal lover. I've always had pets, including cats and dogs. I love animals, especially dogs, but my schedule makes it hard for me to care for one full time. That's why I'm on Rover! I will take care of your pet like I were taking care of my own--that includes plenty of belly rubs and as many treats as you'll allow! My parents raised me to help take care of any pets we had in the home, so I'm comfortable doing any and all pet related tasks; that includes feeding, washing, walking, and cleaning up after any and all accidents. Animals are my passion, and I am so excited to meet your pet and care for them while you're busy! I currently work full time, 8:00-4, in office four days a week/1 day remotely. I am comfortable coming back to your home during my lunch break to check in and let dogs out to use the restroom. I provide plenty of exercise and play when I’m watching your pet. I love interacting with dogs and making sure they have plenty of enrichment and fun while I’m watching them.
“Damica stayed in our house and took care of our golden retriever for 4 nights. She is amazing- responded to messages quickly, made sure she understood what our dog needed and how things worked in our house. My dog loved her and we will definitely try and book Damica again for our next trip out of town.”
“Christina was great stopping in to feed and let my dogs out. She did great with one of my dogs who is very anxious. She also helped feed my guinea pigs while I was away which was very appreciated!”
About: I have been a trusted pet sitter by family members, neighbors, friends, and coworkers for over ten years. I have experience with all kinds of critters, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I recently lost my senior rescue cat to cancer, so I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. My goal as a pet-sitter and dog-walker is to make your pet as happy as can be until their favorite people come home! I work remotely on Tuesdays and Fridays and would be able to provide in home visits or dog walks anytime throughout the day. My availability is more flexible on weekends. I am very adaptable and experienced with animals, so I am willing to learn and follow any instructions given to best care for your pet.
“Amazing sitter and highly recommend!! Super relatable, chill, and loving with our pets. We really appreciate Daniel keeping us updated and even going as far as washing our sheets during his stay. So so nice, Thnks!! We can tell our babies has such an amazing time with you! Will definitely be booking again when we go out of town!”
“Kort was great. Our stand offish boy warmed up to Kort and by the end of the week was sitting on his lap. Our senior girl warmed up as well. He gave them lots of pats and kisses. Kort even took care of the hampster. Got her out of her cage to play and even cleaned her cage. We will definately use him the next time we need a sitter.b”
“Zoe was incredible. Our house was clean when we came back home, and she handled all the animal care flawlessly. She checked in multiple times a day and went above and beyond making all our critters comfortable, even amidst a minor medical issue with our dog. We’ll be booking Zoe for all our trips in the future.”
“Hi Christopher, Thank you so much! This was our first time using your services since our regular pet sitter was unavailable, and we could not be happier. You treated our three Miniature Schnauzers as if they were your own, communicated daily with updates, and sent wonderful pictures. Your professionalism is top-notch. When you came for the meet-and-greet the week prior to our trip, we knew we were in good hands by how our boys reacted to you. We were also so pleased to see how wonderful the house looked when we arrived home; it was in better shape than how we left it. Leaving a nice thank you card was such a thoughtful added touch. We will definitely use your services again and will highly recommend you to our friends. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism. Regards, Patrick and Rich”
“Zoe was an exceptional dog sitter in my home for my 2 pups and I would absolutely recommend her and hire her again. The dogs seemed to immediately trust her when they first met and that tells me a lot about their comfort level and her energy with them. Zoe was consistent with communication, reliable, took care of all the pups needs and was extra helpful doing a few minor house management items (like bringing trash cans back in from three curb and watering some flowers) while I was away. Zoe is personable, kind, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend her for your animal care needs.”
“Basma was very good with both my dogs and kitten, I was sent a lot of photo updates. She was very nice about one of my dogs having an upset stomach which gave her more work. I would definitely hire her again.”
“We’ve used Rover for years and never had such a positive experience as we did with Megan. She not only took diligent notes about all of my pups little quirks and preferences, but she really went the extra mile every opportunity she had. Our dogs loved her, too 😃. I will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending Megan to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

Once again, our babies had the BEST time with Jacque!!! She took such great care of them and also took them on walks/adventures to the dog park which they absolutely loved! They did t even cry or get excited when we got home which is a huge testament to how well they were cared for while we were away. ♥️ In addition Jacque helped ease my husbands anxiety about leaving his bonsai plants which she took great care of in his absence. Jacque went above and beyond and I would gladly welcome into our home again and again when we need help with our girls. She is extremely trustworthy and communicative, and he love of dogs is evident. I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you again Jacque! Until next time! I know l Max and Lucy will miss you!!
Abigail was absolutely phenomenal—the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. And I don’t say that lightly, because I’m extremely picky about who I allow to care for my animals and trust in my home. She was kind, communicated, and sent pictures of our cats and dog every day while we were away on vacation. She followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly, the house was exactly as we left it, and most importantly, all of our babies were happy and cared for. I could tell they were all extremely comfortable around her too, based on her photos and communications. I would absolutely hire her again, and I plan to on the next trip we take. :)
Taylor did a great job handling Zeus. He seemed to be very comfortable and happy in her presence while I was gone. Taylor kept me informed with pictures and updates. I had to book on short notice and she was very accommodating to all my requests. Would definitely book again.

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 Rocky Ripple 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 Rocky Ripple 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 Rocky Ripple 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.
