“Adam was able to accept a last minute overnight job which was a vacation-saver. He is the best dog sitter! He took Arnie on very long walks, followed all my instructions to a tee and was communicative with texts and pictures. He will be my go-to Rover sitter from now on!”
About: I’m a caring, dependable animal lover with years of personal experience caring for dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets comfortable while their families are away. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and caring for pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I can work with your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine and will do my best to accommodate each family’s schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Ebonnie was great with our two pups! They are a bit rambunctious and she did well with them. She kept in touch while we were away and updated us when we asked. She is respectful and sweet. I already have her booked for a trip in September!”

My experience with caring for animals has been with dogs/puppies, horses, ponies, pigs, rabbits, tortoises, guinea pigs, parrots, cats/kittens/feral cats, ducklings, chickens and over 620 geese. Also through pet sitting on rover I adopted my dog Ace <3 that you will see on my pictures along with all the dogs I cared for through this app!

About: New humans are hard. It’s important to me for the family member/pet feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I have watched over and tended to puppies, seniors, disabled, reptiles, bunnies and other small critters, as well as some livestock. I have had various opportunities through friends to learn and tend to a variety of animals and I enjoy doing research on them and their particulars on my free time while also adhering to the parents (your) guidelines. As of right now I have evenings available. After may I will also have weekends available. (I work the renaissance faire) So I’m open to doing some check ins, date night sitter, and even an evening stroll. In my home my own pets get enrichment and continuous care. From cage or litter cleanings to fun foods to try (I make salads for the bunny and guinea pigs). Or purposely leaving boxes and food toys for our cat to have some enrichment with natural instincts. How I care for your pet well that will depend on a pet by pet basis and their specific needs as well as the instructions laid out for me. What will be standard is love, care, and detailed attention to their needs.
About: I have pet sat for my grandma for as long as I can remember and deal with dogs daily, I have my own dog currently. I can bathe and walk and play with dogs easily and safely and feed them if given instructions and their allergies. I plan to be available during the daytime for seven days a week and don’t have a job currently so am looking to spend a lot of time with any dog I can. I take my teacup size dog on walks daily, sometimes with my grandma or sisters larger dogs. I help feed them and watch them in the back yard or around the house whenever needed. I often brush and play with the dogs in my home, and help feed them daily
“This was our first time using an in-home dog sitter after losing our previous dog unexpectedly at a boarding facility, so we were understandably very hesitant. From the moment we met Vickie, she immediately put us at ease and gave us the confidence to leave our new pup at home while we were away. Vickie went above and beyond by visiting a few times before our trip to help our pup feel comfortable with her in our home. While we were gone, she kept us updated with daily photos, which meant so much to us, and she even took the time to water our garden. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a house in perfect condition. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Vickie provided and would absolutely love to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Jeanett was absolutely amazing. My pup absolutely adores her. She took him on plenty of walk and provided me with many updates and pictures throughout my trip. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Lili was wonderful with our boys, Ozzy & Luke. She communicated with us throughout the stay. She sent updates and photos of our pups, which we really enjoyed. She treated the pups and our home with lots of respect. We’re looking forward to her spending more time with our pups in the future. Lili is great, your fur babies will warm up to her immediately. 💛”

Even my weirdo skittish cat likes her instantly! That was my sign! I handed her my keys and knew I had nothing to worry about. I was right.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Jacinto
Johana took care of our husky Koa while we were in Hawaii and she was phenomenal. She stayed in our home, followed every instruction to a T, and the house was spotless when we got back. This was the first time Johana had watched Koa. And although she came by a couple of times before our trip, Koa was still super shy and apprehensive. But this is his typical personality. It's like the movie with Adam Sandler, "50 First Dates". It takes 50 first dates for him to finally warm up. And usually in the morning, he has amnesia and can't remember that he was warming up the day before. LOL But Johana was very patient, tried different techniques to build trust with him, and by day 4 she'd earned enough of his confidence that he let her take him on a real walk. If you know huskies, that is not easy to pull off. She sent updates and pictures every single day. We'd wake up in Hawaii to photos of Koa and it made the whole trip better knowing he was loved and well taken care of. She even left us a Polaroid, a really sweet touch. If you need someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs, especially ones that take a minute to warm up, Johana is who you want. We highly recommend her and will most definitely be using her again in the future.
Debbie was an amazing care giver for King. She is kind and gentle, and showed a genuine love for King. Debbie was very conscious and intentional with everything she did with and for King. He was on eye drops for an infection and she was very consistent in keeping his schedule. I was very pleased with the level of care she provided, and I appreciate the way she respected my home. She was clean and everything was in place when I returned. Will definitely use her again!
Daniel was a fabulous sitter. He is very responsive and respectful of both our pet and home. You can easily tell he has a passion for animals and will care for your pet like a member of his family. He sent numerous photos and checked in regularly. We highly recommend Daniel and plan to use him 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 San Jacinto 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 San Jacinto 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 San Jacinto 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.
