“Christine was just wonderful with my Yorkie. Even though he’s stubborn and old, she gave him love and took such good care of him. She’s a wonderful woman I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”
“Brooke was amazing with our 3 babies especially our anxious Kleio. She sent photos and updates and was a great overnight companion/sitter. We will definitely be booking her for any future trips.”
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had pets since I was a little girl, and I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, one is 6 years old and the other is 4. I’ve also cared for my neighbors’ dogs and cats, and I’ve even had experience caring for chameleons! My love for animals goes beyond simply having pets. I studied veterinary medicine for three years, and although I ultimately chose a different path, the knowledge and love for animals have stayed with me. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care, including feeding, walks, bathing, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. I’m a stay-at-home mom to my two-year-old daughter, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy. For me, Rover is a wonderful opportunity to turn something I truly love into a rewarding experience while providing pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a visit, or a comfortable home away from home, I’d be happy to care for them like one of my own.❤️ As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine without leaving pets alone for long periods of time. For boarding, I can be home with your pet throughout the day, with time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I can also accommodate regular walks and drop-in visits depending on your pet’s needs and my family’s schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My family and I love having pets around, and I’m excited to make caring for animals a meaningful part of my routine while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in loving hands. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a one-story home with no stairs and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some fresh air and play. My two French Bulldogs are very friendly and used to being around other dogs and pets. When caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they are supervised, comfortable, and treated with patience and love. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet may need. When caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your pet’s normal routine, and keep a close eye on them throughout my visit. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention while they’re with me. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup. I was a certified vet assistant a few years back but could not handle the emotional pain of watching dogs pass in the medical field. I still love dogs and cats and enjoy caring for them. I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.
“Nicole was fantastic! She stayed overnight with my two dogs and cat during July 4th, which can be stressful for them with all the fireworks. She was calm, attentive, and made sure they felt safe and cared for. I really appreciated that she reached out to clarify a few things—it showed how thoughtful and responsible she is. Highly recommend!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily.

“Shanna and her husband were wonderful sitters for our two (large) dogs! They followed our schedule and feeding instructions, and sent good updates with pictures throughout the AM/PM. Also, the house was left beautifully. Much appreciated. We will be using them again for our next trip. Highly recommend.”

About: I've never not had a dog my whole life and have owned many cats, too. I'm a retired teacher and between my husband and I, someone will always be home with your pet. I've sadly lost beloved pets so I have experience from puppies to senior dogs. I love long walks but have a fenced yard too. I am off for the summer and when I go back to teaching I work 7-3. My husband is home during those times though. We are available for boarding all days, including all weekends. I have a fenced yard with a dog door from the lanai but I truly enjoy walking dogs. If your dog uses a crate, you can bring that. I have two small dogs but have had larger dogs in the past. They are both friendly to other dogs and they have dog beds they love but I'm fine with them hopping on the couch. Our neighborhood has a dog park too if your dog loves to run!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rubonia
Patricia was absolutely amazing with my babies! I get so nervous leaving them, but she communicated every few hours with updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly diligent and gave them so many walks, definitely more than their mama usually does, which is probably why they were completely pooped! 😂 When I came home, they were honestly the calmest I have ever seen them after being away for two days. It was obvious they felt safe, comfortable, and very well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her!
Alina was great! She was available for a couple of last minute requests and my dog likes her so much I think we will now be repeat clients. She is very patient, and kept me inform every day about my dog's behavior (my shelter dog is getting old and sometimes is taking longer to "warm up" to strangers now). I highly recommend Alina. She is sweet, kind, reliable and great with gaining your pet's trust :)
McKayla was absolutely amazing while house-sitting and caring for my dog, Mable, and my cat, Kaiah. Mable is still a puppy with a ton of energy, so she can definitely be a handful, but McKayla was incredibly patient, attentive, and wonderful with her. She also took great care of Kaiah and made sure both pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. What really stood out was her communication. She sent so many photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. She was always easy to reach, quick to respond, and kept me informed the entire time. Since she stayed in my home, I also appreciated how respectful and responsible she was. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Coming home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house made all the difference. I would absolutely book McKayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Azharia was so great in keeping in touch with me and sending pictures of my Simba- I can tell she took care of him very well- all of his things that I sent with him came back home with me and everything was still in good condition- I appreciate that- I will definitely be contacting Azharia again and the best part is that she lives in the community next to mine so she’s not far at all!
Andrea was fantastic caring for my two large 9 year old chocolate labs!! Took them to the dog park every day, which isn’t an easy task. Fed and watered them, of course, and just spent time being with them while I was away. Andrea’s experience with animals was clearly evident, and my home was immaculate when I returned. I will request her services in the future, and I highly recommend her!

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 Rubonia 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 Rubonia 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 Rubonia 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!

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 .
