“Maggie did an amazing job house/petsitting for a long weekend. My girls were obviously well-loved while I was away, and she even washed sheets and towels upon her departure. Highly recommend!”
“Joe was the best Dogsitter I have ever had. He was extremely accommodating. Not only did he respond immediately to my short notice request but he even took time during his lunch break to meet my dog. Furthermore he was flexible with coming back for nearly the whole next day! You can tell he genuinely loves animals and it’s why he’s more affordable than everyone else on rover.”
“Our older dog and new Puppy had a lovely day with Verity. Seemed very happy and relaxed when we got home. Was a huge help to us and we will def book Verity again . She has lots of experience and clearly adores animals”
“Ayla is FABULOUS. We have used Rover many times and have had great experiences, but Ayla is above and beyond!!! We have four fur babies who can be A LOT. Not only did she love on them, but she went above and beyond through the experience. Just a beautiful person inside and out and I’m so grateful to have found her!!!!!!”
“Erin was a wonderful house+dog sitter and I would certainly book again. She had an immediate rapport with my somewhat selective, fear-reactive pittie mix. The attentiveness, presence and communication (including some photos) were exceptional throughout the long weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for dogsitting.”
“The absolute best care I could ever ask or hope for! What a blessing she was to my husband and I while we were out of the country. Her communication was the very best. Our babies were loved and cared for like we never left. Could not be any more pleased with everything!”
“Miley was super nice and our cats loved her. She was very responsive and gave plenty of updates while we were gone. One of our cats ended up getting sick not long before we left. Miley gave her medication and gave her extra attention.”

About: I have professional experience caring for dogs through Wag, PetSmart, and Petco. I worked with Wag for two years providing dog walking and pet care services similar to Rover, and I also worked as a professional bather at both PetSmart and Petco. In addition, I have experience training German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois in Schutzhund-style training, which gave me hands-on experience working with strong, intelligent, high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, exercise, training, and care routines, and I take safety and each dog’s individual temperament seriously. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, structure, or simply a comfortable place to stay, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I would expect for my own pet. I’m available throughout the week and can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and experience handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I follow feeding, medication, exercise, and crate instructions carefully, and I’m comfortable maintaining structure for dogs that thrive on a routine.
“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”
“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”

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 Rural Hill 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 Rural Hill 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 Rural Hill 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.
