“Destiny was amazing with our dogs! We have 3 dogs which can be a handful at times but she took great care of them. Put my mind at ease day 1 of our trip. Highly recommend and will be booking again in future!”
“Julia did an amazing job caring for not only our pup but also our two rats! She kept us feeling comfortable throughout our trip by providing consistent updates and plenty of photos. She treated our home with great respect and truly went above and beyond. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy.”
“We really enjoyed having her stay with our dogs! She was so nice and caring, and I really appreciated that she checked on them regularly throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were getting plenty of attention while we were away. I also really liked that she’s studying veterinary medicine—it made me feel even more comfortable knowing our dogs were in such caring and knowledgeable hands. We’d definitely have her watch them again!”
About: Greetings! My name is Monica and I look forward to learning all about you and your pets! First, a little about myself and the care I am qualified to provide. I have always had a unique desire and ability to take in and care for animals, but when I began working in rescue and brought my first heart-dog into my life, it grew into a true passion. He was a joy and one of the best companions I’ve ever had. We currently share our home with 2 dogs and a foster pup, and I bring an experienced and loving approach to every pet in my care. I have over 30 years of providing care and support for animals, mostly cats and dogs, but also pocket pets, exotics, pigs and birds, including chickens. I have been a foster volunteer, coordinator and board member for a national breed rescue for the last 20 years. In that time, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments from energetic pups to seniors fostering dozens of rescued dogs and cats, including pregnant moms, whelping litters of puppies and raising orphan bottle-baby kittens. I have extensive experience with special-needs and senior pets, including monitoring and treatment of acute and long-term medical conditions, recovery from injuries and surgical procedures, physical therapy, paralysis, specific dietary needs and preparation of homemade pet foods. I am qualified to administer medications, injections and sub-q fluids and assist animals during rehabilitation. I’ve also worked as a dog trainer focusing on behavior modification and basic obedience training and greatly enjoy helping dogs learn and develop at their own pace. I maintain a close relationship with several of our local veterinarians and trainers with a network of professional resources. I look forward to sharing time with your pets! I have a flexible schedule and strive to accommodate the individual needs of each pet and family, including visits for walks and playtime and overnight sitting in your home. I have the ability to work with a variety of care needs, and prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of beloved animals and their humans above all else. I also carry pet care insurance for clients’ trust and assurance partnering together with their beloved fur-families, and have completed the American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid Course.

About: I provide more than just pet sitting—I create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care, whether puppy or senior. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and at home. My schedule is very flexible as I work from home and if you need overnight care I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere while caring for your pet. I don’t have a fenced in yard but am comfortable walking your pet as often as necessary. In my home, they are in a clean and comfortable environment. In your home, with your instructions, your pets will enjoy their natural environment.
“Megan was wonderful!! She was very attentive to Ruby and all of her needs. I did not have to worry at all while I was away. I came home and Ruby was clearly happy and healthy. Such a relief to find a dependable and caring person. I would highly recommend her.”
“Isabelle was amazing! She took excellent care of our two pups, as well as everything at our home for an extended 12 day trip abroad. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you Isabelle!”
“Being the first time I left my girls (2 labs) with someone besides family, I was nervous. Logan was wonderful with my dogs as well as me. He texted me and sent pictures daily. My dogs were calm and did not seem to be stressed at all with Logan staying with them. I would highly recommend him.”
“Yaretzi was amazing and shared photos of Zarra during her care and also kept me updated on how she was doing. Yaretzi was very understanding and acknowledged our concerns of leaving our fur baby for the first time. We will definitely contact her again when we are back in town.”
“Margo was fantastic at taking care of my two senior dogs, 7 lb morkie and 7 lb chihuahua. She arrived on time, found my garage door was open, closed it, sent me photos and walked them, fed them and spent quality time with them. Very responsible and a joy to have. Note, my morkie is feisty on walks and barks at everyone. We did a test walk and she handled him beautifully. Thank you Margo!”
“Daisy seemed to have great care with Derek. He was reliable and came a day early for a meet and greet. He seemed to follow the instructions I left. He was very pleasant and was willing to do what was asked. He also kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. The house was left in great condition. I wouldn't hesitate to have Derek again.”
About: My whole life has been around animals. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, all of it and love every single one. I volunteered at the Humane Society (walking dogs and taking care of cats) I was in 4H (taking care of rabbits and guniea pigs) I’m a huge animal lover (every breed, every kind). You’ll have no worries about me because I’ll treat them like newborn babies. Constant care and affection. I have two dogs of my own at the moment and they’re friendly towards people & animals. Babe is my spoiled princess and she loves playing and meeting new animals. Tyson is my big boy, don’t let his size fool you he’s is very loving and such a goofball. You wont be disappointed.
About: I’ve always had pets in my life and now would pass on that love and compassion to your dog. Lots of experience in old and young dogs. I am retired and have extra time so my friend told me about Rover and she loves it so I want to enjoy the experience also! I will make whatever steps necessary that are needed to care for your dog in your home. At my home, they will have free roaming of a 2000 square-foot home and enjoy my daughter and my granddaughter also helping love your dog.
About: I have over 30 years of personal experience owning dogs, having almost 4 at once on my family's country farm growing up. Since I was a toddler I've had an easy connection with dogs that allows me to make fury friends easly. I've seen the good and bad of what it takes to look after them, from a new puppy to a sunset dog. I work a full time but I'm open to mornings from 7-9:30am and any hour after 7:30 pm after working. I'm otherwise free otherwise all day on Monday and Thursday I pay extra attention to wants and needs while ensuring food and water are always available. I keep pets in the designated area unless otherwise allowed. I would prefer to sit at your house on camera if possible as I do have 2 dogs at home that are friendly but want to make sure there is ample room for everyone.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since 2016, I have gained professional experience through animal shelters, veterinary hospitals, and caring for pets for veterinary clients. I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Florida and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs, including administering medications and injections. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or staying in your home, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on excellent communication, following pet parent instructions carefully, and providing reliable, attentive care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have owned animals my entire life, so animal care is naturally built into my routine. In addition to my personal experience, I have worked in veterinary medicine and animal welfare settings, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of all ages and needs. I work full-time Monday through Wednesday, but I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate pet visits depending on location. The remainder of my week offers greater flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and household instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection based on each pet's personality and preferences. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, senior pets, puppies and kittens, and those with behavioral challenges. Communication is very important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and videos when requested. I also treat my clients' homes with the same respect I would my own. Before the end of a house-sitting stay, I typically wash any bedding and towels I used, clean up after myself, and leave the home tidy so clients can return to both happy pets and a well-cared-for home.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, sugar gliders. Young, old, special needs. I do it all. I believe pets are like children, they love to learn. I am recently retired so I can devote as much time as needed for your furry ( not so furry) babies. A lot of love to give. I prefer to sit in the clients home as I feel the pet will be less nervous or anxious in familiar surroundings. I like the pet to get to know me in their own time. Trust is earned.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I am a genuine animal lover and have gotten along with every pet I’ve come across with enough time. Every pet is different with a variety of needs, I’m here to understand that and give them the best care possible! I’m currently starting out on Rover so I do not currently have a routine. I am very open and fluid with scheduling so please reach out! I love spending time with animals so getting your pet to be comfortable with me is a big priority. Aside from caring for the specific needs for your pet, I would love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting your pet!

Logan was a great pet/house sitter for us. He bonded immediately with our girl, which turned out to be extremely important as they weathered some pretty noisy thunderstorms together! Logan provided daily updates on their walks and left the house neat and clean. We will use him again.
Daisy seemed to have great care with Derek. He was reliable and came a day early for a meet and greet. He seemed to follow the instructions I left. He was very pleasant and was willing to do what was asked. He also kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. The house was left in great condition. I wouldn't hesitate to have Derek again.
ROSE D Is wonderful, fabulous and dependable. She took great care of our little Pookie with no problems at all. I look forward to seeing her again whenever we travel without Pookie. I did not even have to worry at all as I did with previous sitters. We love Rose

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 Roseland 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 Roseland 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 Roseland 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.
