“Anita was fantastic while watching Hobbes, very communicative and caring for her while I was away. Everything was nice and orderly when I came back. I’ll definitely look to book with her again next time I have to travel! Thanks Anita ?”
About: Over the last few years I've become my friends, and friends of friends, go to person for pet care! I've always loved animals and grew up with pups in the home. During COVID I started sitting for friends and colleagues of mine who had to return to the office. My flexible WFH schedule gives me plenty of time to go on walks, feeding, and of course play. I also have a pup of my own and am comfortable working with puppies. I work remotely so my schedule is extremely flexible! Here is a rough idea of my schedule, although there is definitely room to move things around: open Mondays, Tuesday’s early morning , open Fri-Sun. I treat every pet that I am with as if they were my own! Every pet has different needs and I pride my myself on noting the needs of each one that is in my care. I always ask owners about house rules as well as their pets like and dislikes so I can make sure I'm keeping them safe and happy. As a pet owner myself, I only hope to give the owners the peace of mind knowing their pet is getting the best care and attention!
“We loved having Liliana and her partner watch our senior pup Kira! She was so sweet and calm with Kira when meeting her and my dog immediately took a liking to her. We got pretty regular updates on how Kira was doing with some pictures so we knew she was in good hands. Our dog also has some special needs with acid reflux episodes and Liliana did an awesome job communicating with me when it happened and kept Kira calm to get her through the episode. When we got home, they had already washed the bed sheets and towels and the house was super clean and well kept. Kira also was happy and looked so good! Will definitely be using them again for our future trips!”
About: Hi! I'm Nicole, and I've been caring for dogs through Rover for nearly ten years. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I've had dogs my entire life, including Labs, rescues, and senior pets, and have experience with dogs of many different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, exploring new trails, playing fetch, or simply curling up for a quiet afternoon, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide lots of companionship, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, and dogs in my care typically enjoy multiple walks each day, along with plenty of rest, enrichment, and affection. I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. I'd love to meet you and your dog. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I work primarily from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. I do teach a few yoga classes in the evenings, but pets are typically left alone for no more than about three hours at a time. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I provide overnight house sitting so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home and maintain their normal routine. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I take the time to learn your pet's routine and preferences and follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes and bedtime routines. I'm experienced caring for puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. Dogs are always walked on leash unless you've told me otherwise, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and calm care at all times. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
“Alexandra recently stayed at our house for 5 days and care for our two dogs. Our older dog is 16 and is blind and deaf. He requires meds twice a day and needs to be carried outside to pee and poop. Our other dog is an energetic goofball who barks when excited and requires a great deal of reassurance. Alexandra was a pro. She was unflappable. Throughout the week she sent updates every day and pics of happy dogs! The house was left in perfect condition. We couldn’t be happier!”
About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I take care of dogs by keeping the environment calm, clean and safe, giving them patient, reliable attention. I make sure they feel comfortable, supervised and cared for. I’m a student at Carrington College so I have a busy schedule in the morning, but i’m free in the afternoon! My school schedule is Monday and Wednesday from 7:30am-11:30am & Tuesday and Friday from 8:30am-2:00pm I’m free Thursday, Saturday & Sunday all day. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet‑safe, and free of anything they could chew or swallow. I keep doors and windows secured, monitor pets closely, and give them a calm environment. I follow their feeding, play, and potty routines exactly as the owner requests.
“Patricia is a wonderful caretaker for our large dog. She is kind, attentive, and incredibly respectful. She communicates beautifully and sends lovely pictures when we are away. I recommend her highly!”
“Kyla did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Jade, who can be quite a handful and has some unique training requirements. She exudes a warmth and kindness that Jade bonded with immediately, and she rose to the training challenges with total competence and professionalism. I would absolutely hire her again.”
“Mariah was great! Zuko can be difficult, but he thrived with her. She kept us updated on him, sent great pictures, and played with him a lot. Mariah was responsive, kind, and patient. We're so thankful she took such great care of our dog and our place.”
“Irina is truly wonderful, she takes great care in taking proper care with your pets and home while we were away for 2 weeks. I had a big concern because I didn’t have a good experience with a previous sitter and my dog needed extra attention for her mobility. Irina was up for the job, and I felt at ease and felt I could enjoy my trip without worry! Would definitely recommend, and I would book her again :)”
“Kaja was wonderful! This is our first time using Rover, and from the moment we met Kaja we knew she’d be a good fit. Our dogs (and kids) both took to her, and Kaja has a very calm & warm presence. She took out or trash & recycling on pick up day, and we hadn’t even asked. We were gone for seven days, and over that time we received a few photos and updates of our pups, and returned home to a clean house and two happy dogs. Thank you so much Kaja! We didn’t worry for a second and were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book with Kaja in the future.”
“Linda took wonderful care of our big hound dog & cat. She asked great questions beforehand to make sure she was ready for my partner & I to be “off the grid.” The house was clean and in great shape upon our return. Would highly recommend Linda for your pet care needs!”
“Patti took great care of our cats again while we were away. She is focused on their needs, very compassionate, and ensured all went well. Her skill with animals comes through when caring for them. Our oldest cat Ada once again became her best lap buddy. I'll definitely book with Patti again.”
“We joined Rover hoping to connect with someone who is kind, responsible, caring about animals and above all, patient, who we could forge a relationship with that would be durable for the long-term. Ikeena has all of these qualities. As a family that travels regularly, whose family and friends have generally all grown-out of the idea of a week at our place as a mini-getaway, we are so thrilled to have connected with her. We got to know each other over zoom and some schedule walks and impromptu hellos and Ikeena dealt with our nerves of building trust with aplomb. Never were we made to feel silly for wanting to meet again or another walk or for having a several pages long doc about staying at our house and caring for our sweet little brown boy, Chicks. During her recent stay here we barely worried about a thing. Ikeena kept in touch with us regularly and Chicks seriously enjoyed being not just cared for, but spoiled by her. She went above and beyond!”
“Sofia was great with our 2 dogs. She stepped in at the last minute. Was super attentive to the dogs. She sent updates for the time she was with them. I would highly recommend anyone bring her if they have the chance.”

Sofia was all around great! Responsive and responsible, she sent tons of update photos and left everything nice and tidy. She also clearly took great care of my super active teenager kitty--when I got home he was like, "Oh hi there were you gone or something?" I also really appreciated Sofia coming over before my trip to meet Jet.
Kaja is an exceptional dog-sitter and house-sitter, and I recommend her without reservation. She is reliable, punctual, and communicates clearly, sending regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My pup was visibly happy and relaxed in her care, which speaks to her patience, love, and attentiveness. She treated our home with respect and was super thoughtful going out of her way to make it easier for me to come home from a long trip! I would not hesitate to book her again.
Maria was wonderful to work with as a pet sitter. We have a high anxiety dog who can be a handful to manage, and Maria was willing to work with us and our dog, putting in extra time and effort to get to know her and manage her needs. She communicated with us consistently while we were and was very kind and patient with our sensitive pup. Highly recommend
Another fabulous visit from Ikeena! Our pup was such a happy and content guy when we got home and was totally spoiled while we were away. From healthy and home made foods to play time and cute pictures to share with us; we feel so lucky to have found Ikeena! Thank you for making our getaway fun and worry free and for taking care of our precious pup!
Tania is the best! She takes amazing care of our senior dog Ernie and also our house! She is so kind and warm and loving toward Ernie and also super responsive and professional! We always know that Ernie is an excellent hands when she is watching him for us! We just love her! ❤️🐾❤️🐾

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 Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood 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.
