“Zach watched our 9 “kids” for 14 days. Unfortunately it was not an uneventful stay for him as our kids were not on their best behavior! Zach handled a not so feeling good old girl, a bratty teenager and one in heat like a champ! If it wasn’t for him we’d never get to take a break! This was not the first time we’ve had Zach sit and it definitely won’t be the last. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thanks Zach!”
“Abigail was amazing with our dogs, Bronx and Brooklyn. She was house sitting for us for a week and we couldn’t be happier with her services. We would absolutely recommend Abigail to care for your fur baby/babies.”
“Troie was absolutely incredible. She agreed to a last minute booking and did amazing with both of my full sized dogs. She sent me pictures and was easy to get ahold of if anything came up. Will definitely be booking again the next time we are in need of a sitter.”
About: I am a wildlife biologist, and I graduated Purdue University with a Bachelor's in Wildlife. I enjoy all animals, including dogs! From having pets and working professionally and causally with animals my whole life, I have a great sense of animal behavior, awareness of common pet health and safety issues, and extreme attention to detail. I look forward to spoiling your four-legged friend and keeping them happy and safe! Please message me, and we can figure out dates and times! For the first couple weeks of August 2026 I am available at any time! I am often available on weekdays and weekends. I am applying to grad school at this time, so I will be at home for awhile so I am able to supervise your cat/dog. I love hiking and walking, so exercising your cat/dog is easy!
“We have a very anxious and fearful beagle and Olivia was absolutely perfect with him! Her joyful and calm demeanor was just what Steve needed and made me feel better knowing our pups were so well taken care of.”
“Thank you so much for watching our fur babies. You were amazing! Super easy to deal with and we can see our babies were loved! Also the little animal line up was hilarious to come home to! We appreciate everything!”
“Shadae was an excellent sitter. She sent multiple photos and updates each day. Our dog and cat seemed very comfortable and cuddly with her. We would absolutely hire her again.”

“Tessa took great care of our cat Tigger, attending to his feeding schedule and his insulin shots to maintain his health. She also sent us photos of Tigger so we could see how well he was doing with her. She stayed at our home and left it in great shape for our return. She was charming and interesting to talk to as well. You can’t go wrong with trusting her in your home!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits. I’m currently working in the mornings until 2-4 pm and would love to spend my evenings crying for dogs who are I need. I am available during late hours during the weekdays and weekends. The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. During walks and visits, I keep pets secure, use proper leash handling, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I feel as if animals have always loved me. Neighbors and family friends have always asked me to take care of their pets because they know I will do a good job at caring for their animals while also being responsible and mess free. I am open to compromise with my prices and promise that I will give you a bang for your buck. I have always had animals in my home and have cared greatly for them. I aspire to be a vet tech and enjoy volunteering at my local humane society. Because of my school schedule I prefer not to stay the night at houses, however I am willing if it is only for a small couple nights. I have lots of love to give for your 4 legged babies! I am currently a student at Purdue University, studying Veterinary Technology, so I have somewhat of a flexible schedule. I can almost guarantee care not only in the evenings, but also in the mornings. I have a car accessible on campus, and have managed pet care for others and college courses before, and find that it is easily balanced for me. I prefer not to stay the night at homes because of my school schedule, however am willing if it’s only for a small couple of nights. I care for pets in my home by ensuring my undivided attention as much as possible. Not only will I be there to care for your pet, I will also be there to love your pet. Being with animals is a true passion that has always been with me, and I can get along easily with any pet! I am responsible and stick to any feeding schedule that you may have, and I also love going on walks with pets or playing fetch with doggies!
About: I grew up in a house that always had 2-4 large dogs at any given time. I often took care of them including walks and grooming, and did the same for neighborhood friends and family members as soon as I could ride a bike. In the past few years, I've also spent a lot of time around and caring for cats. As a graduate student, I currently have evenings free to drop in on pets when you're having a long day! My weekends are free for caring for your pets if you're ever out of town or need the hands! I'm comfortable with all kinds of dog and cat situations, and will take care to respect your home and keep your pets safe and cared for in that environment!
About: I have owned, cared for, and loved pets for my entire life. I am also a vet student and have spent my summers and much of my free time caring for animals. I’d love nothing more than to spend my extra time caring for your furry friends! I’m currently a full time student but with some shifting hours. I will be available more in the evenings on weekdays with more flexible hours on the weekends. If you have a schedule request that doesn’t line up with what I have posted, please reach out as I might be able to make it work! When walking, I prefer to stick to safer, not as busy, roads when I can. I also like to change the scenery with different sidewalks, parks, or beaches, and I am open to suggestions or personal favorite locations.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Romney
Zachary first did several drop-ins with my dog and then later stayed at my home for a week, and I had a great experience with both. My dog is a large dog and can be reactive at times, so finding someone who could confidently handle him while still being patient and kind was one of my biggest concerns. Zachary handled him really well and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. He spent much more time with my dog than expected and it was obvious he genuinely enjoyed being with him. There was lots of outdoor time, play, and attention. He sent detailed updates and multiple pictures every day, which gave me a lot of reassurance while I was away. It was clear he carefully read my care guide and followed instructions consistently. He also administered medication without any issues and was very observant, letting me know about things he noticed so I felt confident he was paying close attention to my dog’s well-being. He also went above and beyond before the week-long stay by helping another caregiver learn my dog’s routine during a last-minute change of plans. I’m very grateful for the care, communication, and peace of mind he provided and would absolutely recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 150 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Romney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Romney 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 Romney 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 Romney 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works 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.
