“Brooke was a wonderful sitter. She sent us pictures of our pups which I greatly appreciated. Also, she treated our pups as as if they were her own. I definitely recommend Brooke and they’ll use her again in the future.”
“Ayla is wonderful! Our dogs love her, and she treats them very well. She checks in daily with photos, and she takes great care of our home as well. We highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hi there! I’m Christy — your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 From playful pups to sweet barn cats to curious goats, I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s tossing a ball, going on long walks, collecting eggs, or just offering a calm presence and loving care, I’m here to make sure your animals feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while you’re away. I bring a lot of positive energy, patience, and joy to every animal I care for. Animals seem to sense my calm, kind nature, and they quickly become comfortable with me — even the shy or sensitive ones. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I care for them with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I’m not only experienced with house pets like dogs and cats — I’m also fully comfortable and excited to care for farm animals, including (but not limited to!) chickens, horses, goats, cows, donkeys, and more. Whether it’s feeding routines, stall cleaning, fresh water checks, or just keeping everyone company, I’ve got it covered. Growing up and spending time around farms has given me a deep appreciation for hard work and the special bond between people and animals. If you’re looking for someone dependable, energetic, and truly compassionate to care for your beloved animals and property — I’m your person! Let’s talk about how I can help care for your crew while you’re away. 🐶🐔🐴💛 I have a set work schedule, and mostly off on weekends. I do get most federal holidays off, so I am open to holidays with your pets. I feed my own animals in the morning and at night. Mine have to be separated because one of mine is food aggressive. I understand that each animal is different, and I am willing to be patient with your pets no matter what.
About: Hey there :) !! Since I was a child I have loved animals, in my house I always take care of my dogs and cat, Also my friends have trusted me with caring for their animals while they are away. My love and respect for animals comes from the upbringing of my parents who are veterinarians and since I was little I have been with animals. I consider myself totally responsible and committed to the care of animals and the environment, that is why your pets will be my preference as well as their well-being. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule and no other commitments to interfere with scheduling. Me and my parents live together so your pets will always have company.

“Chantel is pure magic. She went above and beyond in her care for my pup and kitten. She loved on them and took truly the best care of them- don’t tell my mother, better than my own family! She also went the extra mile in the way she cared for my house. If you want peace of mind and the best care for you animals, look no further than Chantel ♥️”
“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.”
“Cassandra did a terrific job with our "old lady" elderly cat! Her communication was great, she did a meet and greet ahead of our trip, and Polly was happy and did so much better with someone here at the house instead of drop-ins. Our house was spotless when we arrived home. We have already booked her again for future stays!”
“Elyssa was fantastic. Followed my instructions perfectly, provided great updates and always made me feel that my pup was in good hands. Will look forward to booking again!”
About: Reliable dog sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. work an early morning schedule from 3:30 AM to 12:30 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings open for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the afternoon and evening. I enjoy building pet care into my daily routine and making sure every pet gets dependable, loving care. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, schedules, and house rules, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Safety is always my top priority, whether that means secure leashes on walks, monitoring behavior, or keeping a clean and calm environment. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and keep everything tidy; in my home, pets are treated like family and given a comfortable, low-stress environment.
“Lexi was amazing! Ozzy is very particular about who watches her but she gave Lexi no problems at all! She gave me updates and photos of Ozzy throughout the days which I very much appreciate as someone who doesn’t like to leave their dog behind and misses her very much. Lexi was also able to work with me last minute as I had a previous sitter fall through very last minute. I would recommend Lexi to anyone who needs a sitter!”

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.
Tip: 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 , 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.
