“We loved having Tiffany as our house sitter while on vacation this past week! She is always so attentive to our pups and makes a huge effort to care for them when we are gone. I love when she texts us pictures to show how they are doing. We love Tiffany!”


“Ashely’s communication was AMAZING! She sent pictures often and very knowledgeable in dog parenting needs. I was very anxious leaving and she made me feel SO much better and I was able to relax knowing my dog was well taken care of .”

“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”


About: I have owned and cared for many different breeds of dogs from a Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog. I’m currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m looking forward to the nice weather and being able to care for and walk your furry friends. I currently have 2 dogs with a fenced in yard. My dogs are outdoors many times thought the day. I would be able to come by several times throughout the day to play, walk and car for your animals.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am caring, patient, and responsible. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need. I am happy to follow each pet’s routine, provide extra attention, and give updates to pet parents while they are away. I am also willing to work with puppies who are learning routines and basic training, as well as provide gentle, patient care for senior pets. My goal is to treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a structured weekly routine that allows me to balance school, work, and my personal responsibilities. I can plan pet care around my schedule and make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I am responsible, dependable, and willing to communicate with pet owners to make sure their pets are well cared for while they are away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home\. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other special needs\. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their space clean and safe\. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I am patient and take the time to help them feel comfortable with me\. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful! We had never used Rover or had a pet sitter before, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs and having someone stay in our home. From the very beginning, Natalie made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. She took amazing care of our dogs, as well as my son’s dog. She was respectful of our home, and we had absolutely no issues while she was here. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. We are so grateful to Natalie and would definitely use her again. She was kind, trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for someone they can truly feel comfortable leaving their pets and home with!”


About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Chinara did wonderful job pet sitting for us in our home. She updated us and sent pictures daily. She even watered our plants and did a few extra jobs around the house. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! I would highly recommend Chinara.”

“This was the first time I have ever returned from a trip and came home to dogs, that although were super excited to see me, were totally fine. They acted like we had just been away at a long day at work. Jade was great! Both of my dogs were on medication and one had a bandaged paw - medication was given and the bandage was intact. One of my dogs is super needy and I know he requires extra attention, I could tell by his demeanor Jade gave him the attention he needed. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Jade and Rover.com, and already have, to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

About: 3+ years of caregiving experience, I provide dependable, loving care for your pets while you’re away. From daily walks to overnight stays, your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’m an active-duty Navy service member living on base with a lifelong love of animals. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I enjoy pet sitting as a way to spend time with and care for animals. I grew up around a variety of pets, have reliable transportation. I am available evenings, weekends, and over nights. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, litter box or yard maintenance, and plenty of attention and affection.
About: Hello, I’m Jose, a proud Marine veteran who’s had pets all my life—especially dogs. I understand the importance of reliable, responsible, and compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Currently, I have three German Shepherds who keep me on my toes, and I know exactly how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dog when you’re away. With my military background, I’m highly disciplined, organized, and focused on providing the best care. Whether it’s taking your dog on a long walk, keeping them active with fetch, or simply giving them attention and cuddles, I ensure they’re always in safe hands. My experience with my own dogs has given me valuable insights into different dog behaviors, needs, and training techniques. You can rest easy knowing that I’ll provide personalized care for your pet, keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel comfortable and loved in your absence. Here’s an updated pet care experience for Rover that incorporates your work schedule: I understand how important it is to have flexibility when it comes to pet care. My work schedule is Thursday night into Sunday mornings, so I’m available to care for your pets all day Sunday through Wednesday. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or administering medications, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs during those days. My consistent availability during the week ensures your pet receives personalized, dependable care without the stress of interruptions. You can count on me to provide the same level of reliability and care that I give my own pets, ensuring they’re well-cared-for and happy. Whether your dog or cat needs companionship, exercise, or just a peaceful place to rest, I’ve got it covered! Even for boarding, I can make it work out even when I’m not home that your pet is taken care of. Note: Right now I am off work due to an injury and won’t be back until July. So I have more availability. With three German Shepherds of my own, I know how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for pets. I treat my animals like family, and I offer the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I live in a spacious single-family home with a fenced yard, providing your pet with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether it’s a game of fetch or some free time in the yard, I ensure they have the space to stretch their legs. When it’s time to rest, I provide a peaceful, comfortable playpen where your pet can recharge for the next round of fun. Safety is my top priority. I have cameras set up throughout the house so I can monitor your pet when no one is home, ensuring they’re always safe and content. Whether they’re playing in the yard or napping in their playpen, I’ll always be able to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re well taken care of. With a reliable and loving home environment, I’ll provide the same quality care and attention to your pet as I give my own. You can trust that your furry family member will feel right at home with me—safe, secure, and treated with the care they deserve.
“Ally did a great job dog sitting for us over a 5 day period. She kept us updated on how things were going and sent pictures of our little furballs every day. She followed all of the feeding and walking instructions and was very loving to our dogs. Thanks Ally!”

“Amani was the first dog sitter I used from Rover. Overall, she was good and could use some improvements. Came back from my vacation to my house and dog like I left it. When I messaged her, she messaged me back within reasonable times. She sent me photos and updates upon request. She washed the bedding I gave her before she left. She met me timely for the meet and greet and also the day she started dog sitting. I stepped on the dining room rug and it was wet. My dog had an accident and she did not inform me until I messaged her to ask. My dog’s water bowl was empty when I came back. She used the leash on the collar instead of using the harness as I advised her to and I identified that from a photo. She did not send me updates 2x per day as I advised her to during the meet and greet until I asked her again a couple of days later.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ruby
Jordyn was absolutely fantastic as our house sitter over the long weekend. From the start, her communication was spot on—timely, clear, and reassuring, which made it easy for us to actually relax while we were away. She took great care of our full crew—Lucy and Rio (our dogs), plus Loki and Calypso (our cats). That’s essentially a small zoo with opinions, and she handled it like a pro. Everyone was happy, well cared for, and (miraculously) the house was still standing when we got back. We especially appreciated the updates—it was clear she was attentive and genuinely cared about the animals, not just checking a box. If Lucy, Rio, Loki, and Calypso could leave a review themselves, I’m confident it would be five stars…though Loki might still act unimpressed just to stay in character. Highly recommend Jordyn—reliable, communicative, and great with pets. We’d absolutely trust her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,726 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ruby. 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 Ruby 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 Ruby 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 Ruby 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 , 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 .
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.
