“Tristan was great. He arrived on time and was very polite. He took very good care of my baby and provided constant updates. I will definitely contact Tristan for any future needs.”
“Manoela was great! She was able to watch our dog Max fairly last minute. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent us photos - I could tell Max was comfortable with her! Thank you!”
“Brenda was fantastic!!! She took excellent care of my four dogs spending lots of time with them. It’s such a relief to find someone I don’t worry about leaving the dogs with! The house and yard were also clean as well.”
“Mackenzie was awesome! She sent me pictures and updates of my pups. I know they got a lot of love while we were gone. I felt confident having her watch them and didn’t have to worry while we were away.”
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
“Joey did fantastic house sitting with our sweet girl. He was very attentive, always provided updates, and did a great job at just caring for our home as well. Would highly recommend Joey!”
About: I have a genuine love for dogs and have always enjoyed caring for them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing, getting belly rubs, and having someone nearby. I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. When your dog is in my care, I treat them like part of the family. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise, medications or special instructions, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. I also believe communication with the owner is extremely important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own dog. 🐶❤️ Im currently semi retired. I actually work less than 10 hours a week. So I can pet sit for your cat & dog 24/7 & holidays. I can also pick them up & drop them off for a $25 dollar travel fee. Great for people who are going to the airport. (Maximum 20 minute drive) I have a fenced in yard with green grass, trees & lots of squirrels🥳 I have a bag of tennis balls & a built in shadow chaser on my deck. My dog Zoey loves it‼️ (Think laser pointer) So your baby will get lots of sunlight & excercise. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood with very little traffic. That’s great for walks. I will be more than happy to supply pics, videos & updates during their stay. It’s a nice reassurance that your fur baby is being spoiled by myself while your away.
“Destini was great and really helped me to have peace of mind knowing that someone was with my fur babies during my vacation. She was very thorough and detail-oriented and helped me with not only my animals but with watering plants as well! Highly recommend her!”
About: Have cared for pets now over 50+ years. Have had 4 dogs, 3 from puppies and our most recent is a rescue. Have also had 5 cats to care for over the years. Medical/feeding issues too tend to, are no problem either. One of our cats had diabetes and needed daily shots. let us make your pet part of my family I am available when needed. Would love to retire from the working world and take care of your pet needs. I am up early every day, There is no time am I not ready for you. We have a big back yard and a very pet friendly neighborhood. We have one big dog who is pet friendly. Pet (home) sitting and walking only at this time.
About: I love watching animals and I want to be friends with yours! I am a cat dad of three and value the bond built between a person and their animal, and aim to treat your furry family the way I would want my own to be treated. Aside from years of work on Rover, I am always the first option for the people close to me because they know they can trust me. I work full-time M-F but mostly work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to step out to check on your loved ones—especially in the morning and later afternoon/evening. I also generally have an open schedule on weekends for drop-ins. I always strive to make my and anyone else's pets feel safe and comfortable. I've met many cats and dogs that get easily overwhelmed, so I always work to give animals their proper space/calming energy if needed. On the other hand, if someone wants a lot of attention, I make sure to meet their excitement and will always play with them as much as they want! It comes down to making sure they know they are safe and cared for, but also that they are respected.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Elizabeth! She stayed in our home over the weekend and took such great care of our dog, Sonny. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals, and Sonny took to her right away. She was kind, made sure he had tons of cuddles, and kept us updated throughout the weekend, which gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a spotless house. We highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Imge was amazing!! She went above and beyond to help our dog when she was anxious a during storm. It is clear that she loves dogs and has so much experience. She is also so kind and responds very quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Sabrina was a wonderful pet sitter .She has enough experience with animals and works well with my pets. She gave my dog medicine and did wound care ! Cleaned the house !! Great pet sitter .”
“Jasmine was incredible! Kept me well informed about what was going on with Baxter. Spent lots of time outside with him. I could tell he had a great time with Jasmine! Will definitely use Jasmine again in the future to house & dog sit.”

I live in a cul de sac with two other homes— it is very quiet and there is tons of walking room. I have a full basement and garage—- plenty of space for dogs to run around. I have a kennel if needed, but I am completely ok with dogs on the furniture. They love to sleep in the bed with me! As long as your dog is dog friendly and potty trained (accidents are ok but I try to avoid anything on the furniture) then this will be an easy stay. I have two small dogs that love to play! I can walk your dogs every two hours. I can feed on whatever schedule makes sense. Whatever you need… just let me know, please and we can make it work. I have a huge yard and two fur babies to keep your dogs company. I have a crate, if needed. Im available at home to keep an eye on your pup.
“Sha’Pri was an amazing pet sitter and I would 100% have her watch my Yorkie again. She had great communication and sent updates every morning and evening. She did a great job handling my 15 yo dog’s slightly complicated medication and food routine. When we got them, the house was spotless, the sheets were washed, and dog TV was on!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past 5 years and have a keen skill of making the dogs satisfied and the owners happy with the service. I’m currently working part-time so pet care will be my main priority as my live for animals transcends my other responsibilities in my life and schedule Throughout my past experiences, I’ve helped to maintain the safety and security of pets, made meals for them and helped with the yard fencing related to pets.

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 Sandy Plains 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 Sandy Plains 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 Sandy Plains 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 .
