“Melissa took wonderful care of my dogs and home. She was easy to communicate with, sent sweet photos of the dogs, brought them treats & I even came home to a lovely thank you card. She really went the extra mile and I’d be happy to have her care for Hank & Dottie again in the future. Thank you, Melissa!”
“Kirsten was awesome. She sent wonderful pics of both our boys (golden retriever and a kitten), took great care of them while we were away and communicated thoroughly. We are so glad to have found someone we trust to watch our boys in the future. Thanks Kirsten!”
About: I have a great love for animals and many years experience in boarding and sitting. I am a non smoker. My living space is pet friendly and spacious with many parks and trails near by perfect for walking and play time as well as a fenced yard. I will take great care and give much love to your furry family as if they were my own. I’m currently applying for grad school and part time jobs, so I am home often. I have a fenced yard and live close to many parks and trails for animals who require more physical movement and I take daily walks on my own. Occasionally, I’ll have my own dog staying with me if your pet requires a friend, it can be arranged. For boarding, I have a fenced yard. I also have transportation for house sitting or over night care. I am very flexible and will do everything in my power to make sure your fury family is well cared for, safe, and as close to their daily routine as possible.
“Gracie was a great pet sitter! She was responsive, responsible and took great care of our cat and dog. She was very communicative and provided pictures of our furry-faces often. We'd be happy to have her watch our house and pets again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, behaviors, and energy levels my whole life—chihuahuas and shepherds, labs and hounds, aggressive and friendly, excessively dependent and independent. I grew up with four large rescue dogs with their own individual needs, problems, and behaviors, and my experience with them and the little jobs I’ve had have made me an extremely versatile pet caregiver! Whatever you or your pet need, I will do my absolute best to supply. I work short, 30 hour weeks, but I have plenty of time between shifts to take care of your animals :) The family dogs have always been my responsibility, and likely will until I’m moved out of my parent’s house. Pet care is always part of my routine and I would love to be able to have your pets part of it too! **Dog walking is included with check-ins and house-sitting if requested! I will not charge extra if you need your pup(s) (or cats!) walked on top of other care needs.** As I said, I’m versatile in pet care and willing to do whatever is usual for your dog’s routine. However, as a standard: 1. Usually when I walk dogs, I let them lead—I’ll still maintain control, just let them go the direction they prefer, as long as it’s safe! I’m careful to avoid other dogs and people. I love taking dogs on wilderness trails and jogs especially! 2. For overnight stays, I encourage pets to sleep at least in the same room as me, so I can keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. 3. For housesitting, I always make sure to stay tidy and put things up where pets can’t reach them. 4. I do not yell at or hit dogs. When correcting behavior, I stick to positive reinforcement! 5. If a dog is anxious, upset, or injured, I make sure to maintain a calm and quiet environment and treat them as needed. 6. Whatever your rules are, I’ll follow! I want to make sure your pet(s) feel secure and safe during my time caring for them. 7. Any housesitting I do, I try to spend minimal time away from pets. They’ll be given constant attention!
“Ashley has done a great job for us in caring for our Bassett Hound in our home and we highly recommend her services! Our last trip was a week long and Henry was loved and walked just as we wanted and expected. Thank you Ashley for taking such good care of King Henry!”
About: Have my own amazing German Sheppard that I take care of full time and keep active since day one of his hyper active small dog in a big dogs body lifestyle, being a Sheppard. Lots of availability to help and love pups. Amazing with all dog types and sizes, the easy and of course even the difficult. Not all dogs are perfect to walk and I'm great no matter how well or not well they are on a leash. I have grown up around dogs my whole life going from a massive husky to small dachshunds, and have the skills and love to provide for my own huge pup and your pups as well. I am very avalible so don't be afraid to ask anytime! Thanks I am currently a student at CWU and love spending time with pups in my spare time between studying and taking care of my own:) I have a semi fenced yard with lots of grass And room for play time there or at the school near by we frequent often
“Meaghan was awesome! Very professional, asks lots of questions when she came for the meet and greet. She did exactly as I asked including walks and feeding and playing with our pups as well as our kitty. She sent pics and communicated well throughout the stay. We would absolutely hire her again!”
About: My house was home for 4-5 doggies during holidays for the past few years. I have the flexibility to walk/feed/check in on fur babies. I can teach some basic tricks. I am currently taking a sabbatical from my 9-5. While exploring other careers, would love to care for animals on the side. I have a chihuahua that absolutely loves big doggies. If your dogs love other dogs, I would be happy to introduce my dog to them, if they love their space I will have my dog stay home. I would prefer to care for animals at client's home. My place is an option for emergency situations. I can feed them, walk them, play with them. Teach them some basic tricks.
“I used Kaiti and Quixem for the first time for a weekend trip and they did wonderful! I have a 2 dogs and 3 cats ages ranging from 7 months to 18 years old, so my house can be chaos at times! They were both very communicative and sent pictures from the stay. When I got home, my pets were very happy and my house was clean. I will for sure use them again in the future!”
About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) My 1 year old will be accompanying me to any potential jobs, so if you know your pet is not good with kids please let me know. She will have as little access as possible either way, she will most likely be in her stroller. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. I would love to help in any way that I can. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.
About: As a mom, caring comes naturally for me. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after a member of your family, and that's exactly how Ill treat your pet- with patience, love and plenty of attention. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care fits perfectly with my routine because I work for myself, which gives me the flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide personalized care. My daughter is busy with school, sports, work, etc, so I have the extra time and energy to devote to caring for your pets. At home , I care for my pets the same way I would care for yours, with love structure, and lots of attention. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, included, and part of the family. My pets follow me around the house everywhere I go:) I keep a clean, comfortable environment, maintain routines, and make sure pets get plenty of play, exercise, affection and companionship.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roslyn
Melissa was wonderful with our dog Deano and made us feel very comfortable leaving him. She arrived very early in the morning to make sure Deano was not alone when she left him. The house was incredibly clean when we returned and Deano was well cared for! Will definitely be working with Melissa again.
Thank you, Ashley!! Your care of our 2 cats and little parakeet was wonderful. It made for a more relaxing time away for us knowing you were there. Instructions (many little details) were followed perfectly, as one cat needed some special care. We will not hesitate to call Ashley again when we need thoughtful and attentive pet care!

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 Roslyn 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 Roslyn 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 Roslyn 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.
