Whatever is most convenient for your needs. I do not normally do in-home pet care, I will sit during the day, but I will not do overnights in house unless special request. I will do walks, and drop in visits make sure your baby gets lots of energy burnt out.
About: We go by Bark Haven Ballers ! 🏀" "Hi there! I absolutely love animals and care for a variety of them on my personal farm right here at home. Because my own farm requires regular attention, I am not able to offer overnight house-sitting, even though my profile may suggest it.Instead, I proudly offer dedicated 1-hour drop-in visits twice a day. These hour-long visits are perfect for ensuring your pets get plenty of playtime, feedings, and potty breaks. If your pet needs extra attention or you require more time, just let me know! We can easily add extra time or visits to your booking for a small adjusted fee to fit your pet's exact routine." ⭐ Transparency is important to me!

“Cassie was incredible! She stayed with our cat and dog for a week while we were on vacation, and I had no worries the whole time. She provided them not just basic care, but went above and beyond to provide them enrichment and love too. She was a great communicator and consistent from meet and greet to the end, and the house was in perfect shape. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Leanne is very responsive and most important great with my baby. TedE hasn't had many people that I allow to look after him, but I would 100% have Leanne stay with again and recommend her. Within minutes TedE felt comfortable enough to roll over and let her rub his belly. When I returned home he was content and not anxious at all. She sent pictures which eased my nerves and let me see he was doing just fine. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you Leanne!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing! My three big babies totally love her! We have a very picky and selective German Shepherd that completely fell in love with her. She sent pictures and updates every single day to keep us updated! I don’t have enough words to express how thankful I am for finding her in such short notice!”
“We had Kelly housesit and watch our dog and cat while we were out of town for 5 days, and she did amazing. Lots of pictures, very communicative, everything was left clean and the girls had so much fun. She went above and beyond, definitely would recommend.”
“Darci is a great sitter. I used her for house sitting for three days. My dog was not even excited to see me when I returned. She is a great communicator. I will definitely be using her often.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for pets. I grew up around my family’s dog grooming business, where I’ve helped care for and handle dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic for a year, which gave me even more experience around animals and helped me learn how to recognize their different needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic grooming, and giving pets lots of attention and love. Being around animals in both grooming and veterinary settings has taught me how important patience, safety, and making pets feel comfortable are. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own while they’re in my care! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pets. I'm a part time server so I work short shifts anf have plenty if free time. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. With my experience working around animals in a veterinary clinic and my family’s grooming business, I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities and needs. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized, dependable, and compassionate care for every pet I serve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I take the time to make each visit comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and stages of life, including energetic puppies, adult pets, and senior animals who may require extra patience, attention, or specialized care. I am comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications when needed, reinforcing routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and giving senior pets the gentle care they deserve. My goal is to give each pet the same love and attention I would want for my own. I prioritize communication with pet parents, reliability, safety, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their families. I don't simply "watch" your pets—I build trust with them and treat them like family while you're away. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable care and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as recurring care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and play schedules. My priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, especially those who may be shy, nervous, elderly, or have specific routines. I also maintain a clean and safe space by keeping food and water areas clean, litter boxes maintained, and potential hazards out of reach. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires trust. I treat every home with respect, communicate regularly with pet parents, and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”
“Jacksonville, we did you a massive solid by giving this site another chance and running into Tayler. To be honest, I kind of hate writing this because I know she’s going to get booked up, but she is simply too good not to praise. After a string of terrible experiences with other sitters on Rover (ranging from no-shows to theft and all the in-betweens), we were ready to give up on this site entirely. Then came Tayler. What an immediate game-changer! From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our fur babies were absolutely drawn to her positive energy. We have quite the wild pack...from an overactive puppy, a sweet, lazy senior dog, and a sassy but loveable cat. Tayler accepted the challenge and handled them all in a way only a seasoned expert could. She watched them for a few days while we were out of town and did great. She followed every instruction to the letter, kept us updated with photos, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Most importantly, our pets were incredibly happy and well-cared for when we got home. Tayler is the absolute best! Will book again. Please share her time...it's only fair since we found her and spread the word! 😂”
“Always the best! Our dogs love her and she leaves the house spotless. Sends lots of pics and communicates well. We never have any issues and we will continue to use her services.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Rodman 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 Rodman 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 Rodman 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
