“Marla took excellent care of my puppy. I knew Checkers was in good hands. And even my shyest cat approached her for attention. She a professional at this and I’m lucky to have found her for my pets.”
“Abbey was absolutely amazing with our two doodles!! She sent tons of photos and updates and communicated quickly. She left our place just as clean as we had it and I would 100% recommend her to anyone. I will be using her again :)”
“Shelly was extremely attentive to my two girls while house sitting during my holiday trip. I was grateful for the many photos I received and she was accommodating about their routine. I recommend Shelly to anyone who wants peace of mind that their animals will be well taken care of.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years, beginning with my own Yorkie Terrier, Lola. I got Lola when I was in 9th grade, and she was one of my first big responsibilities growing up. I’ve had her ever since, and caring for her throughout her entire life has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and paying attention to a dog’s individual needs. Over the years, I’ve handled all aspects of Lola’s care, including daily walks, feeding, bathing, grooming, and administering medication. I’ve also cared for larger dogs, including a Weimaraner and a Golden Retriever, staying with both for five days. I currently work from home 90% of the time in marketing and communications for a nonprofit, so I have a flexible schedule and am able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I also live an active lifestyle and love going on walks, getting outside, and spending time with dogs. What I love most about dogs is how energetic and affectionate they are. I’m patient, attentive, and want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I also enjoy cats and have spent time around them during college. While I’m newer to caring for cats independently, I’m very comfortable following an owner’s instructions and learning each pet’s individual routine. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Monday through Friday, I wake up around 5 a.m. and go to the gym before starting work. I’m back home around 7 a.m., which is when my dog usually wakes up. She’s a small senior dog who loves to sleep in and stay warm! I take her outside as soon as I get home, then prepare her breakfast. I work from home from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I give my dog a smalll lunch around noon, depending on when I take my own lunch break, and take her outside afterward. She has dinner around 5:30 p.m., followed by another potty break. On weekends (during warmer weather, 40 degrees and up), I typically wake up around 7 a.m., feed my dog and take her outside, then head to the gym. When I get back, we go on a 20-minute neighborhood walk together. She gets another meal and potty break around 12:30 p.m., and I usually run errands afterward. Dinner is around 5:30 p.m., followed by another potty break. At the end of the day, after dinner, I also make time for her dental cleaning as part of her regular routine. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. My priority is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the instructions and routines provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, potty breaks, and any other specific needs. I also think communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates while you’re away and let you know how your pet is doing. Depending on the pet and the service, I enjoy spending time playing, going on walks, giving plenty of attention and cuddles, and simply keeping them company.

“Brooke was just fabulous with all my fur babies! She is patient, inquisitive, kind and caring. She was in very in tune with my all four of my fur babies’ needs, and was responsive to my questions both in person and via the phone/text. Brooke caught on quickly to all their little idiosyncrasies and took it all in stride. I have had a dog that is terrified of any type of rainstorms. She can tell that a storm is coming when it’s two hours away! So, she needs her meds, her thundershirt and she needs understanding when it comes to getting her in her safe space. She even stayed calm when my cat brought her a mouse. None of my fur babies appeared to miss me at all! She sent me daily updates, considered each pet’s individual needs, and took good care of my home. My home is not easy to manage, but she handled it very well. My family loved the stories I shared from Brooke while I was on vacation with. I would highly for anyone’s pet sitting needs.”

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 Roscoe 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 Roscoe 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 Roscoe 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.

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.

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.
