“We had a great experience! Claire was easy to communicate with, kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, and took wonderful care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands while on vacation. We would definitely book with Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“This was our first time using Brad to sit at our house with our dog, Winni. Everything went smoothly. He gave us an update every day and sent pictures. The first night he was at our house, our power went out!!!Brad was very capable and calm and assured us that it was no problem. We would definitely use Brad again.”
“Leroy was absolutely wonderful! He took care of our two dachshunds as if they were his own while we were out of town. Throughout our trip, he sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, healthy, and well cared for. By the end of the stay, they were genuinely sad to see him go! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to Leroy for future trips. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”
“Evelyn did an amazing job! We had a boil water order while away due to a water main break. She handled the situation flawlessly. Thank you so much for caring for Ruby and Sissy under less than perfect circumstances.”
“Allison was amazing. Willing to meet before we left town, sent us a picture every day, was flexible when we needed her to come earlier than originally planned, and left our house cleaner than she found it! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kobe! She was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Kobe looked so happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Katie was great! She took care of my young, energetic dog and my slow elderly dog with such love and care. It was really nice to enjoy my vacation without have any worries. I would highly recommend her.”
“Max was so wonderful with my two pets! I felt super confident leaving my usually anxious dog and cat with him; I got plenty of updates and pictures that put me at ease while I was out of town. I will definitely reach out to Max again to take care of my fur babies.”
“I haven't needed a sitter in a while, so I was super nervous to leave my pup with someone new for the first time. Cara very quickly eased all of my anxiety. She sent lots of detailed updates and asked questions as they came up. My dog is usually depressed and mopey after I get home, and he seemed just like his usual self - he felt very comfortable and safe with Cara. We will definitely be reaching out for future sittings!”
“Ryan was a wonderful companion for our dog Bailey. She played Frisbee and tug with her daily. She communicated with us every day with pictures. I felt very confident that Bailey was well cared for while we were gone. I'm so happy to have found her!”
“Laura was great! She took great care of my dog and 4 cats. Laura was responsive and polite and seems to really love animals. She did everything I asked and sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet girl Roxie. She kept us informed of how Roxie was doing, when she would eat as well as send us cute pictures of how happy she was playing with her toys. It was so nice to get her messages and relieved some stress we had when leaving Roxie… especially with her arthritis. This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Molly. We will plan to ask her to stay again on our next out of town trip!”
“Eleanor did a fantastic job looking after my little princess Pom while I was out of town for the night. Bea was happy when I got home, and Eleanor left my place neat and tidy. Eleanor is great with communication and sent lots of pics. We’re already booked for my next trip!”
“Lauryn was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, and she was responsive to messages. We will definitely book her again the next time we go on vacation!”
“Alex is such a great dog sitter! I could tell from the first meeting that he would treat Goose with love and care. He was extremely prompt, left our house in perfect condition, gave us periodic pictures and updates, and took care of all of Goose’s needs. You can’t go wrong booking with Alex! Your dog will thank you!”
“Frances and Tim were incredible from the start! They were promptly responsive from moment we booked and they went above and beyond caring for not just our dogs, but even our home! They are both very friendly took very good care of our dogs. Next time we need to go out of town, we will be reaching out to Tim and Frances immediately. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I would rate them at 10 stars if there were that many available.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sappington
Claire was wonderful with Macy! We loved the connection they made, and Claire’s maturity and thoughtfulness gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She paid attention to Macy’s routine, kept us updated, and went above and beyond by tidying up, washing the towels she used, and bringing in our mail and packages. It was clear she cared about Macy and our home. We would absolutely trust her to stay with Macy again and highly recommend her!
Alexandra watched my German Shepherd and senior cat while I was away for a float trip over the weekend. Even though she knew I would be in an area with limited cell reception, she took the time to send pictures and updates a few times a day so they’d arrive when I did have service. I could tell that my printed care instructions were followed because they were checked off and notes added where needed. Alexandra also went the extra mile and took the time to brush my cat, strip the bedding off the bed, and leave a written note before she left. Would highly recommend Alexandra as a petsitter!
Maya was amazing! She checked in on Joey multiple times throughout the day and was great at updating me with pictures of them playing, going on walks, or just hanging out at the house. She was very trustworthy and did a great job communicating. Joey loved her and was in great spirits when I got home from my trip. I will definitely be rebooking Maya for future pet care.
Clarisa took great care of my 2 senior dogs and one senior cat for a week while I was away for 5 days. She was very sweet my pets, and they were happy and content when I got home as if I had never been gone. Exactly what you hope for! Clarisa was very communicative with me during the trip and sent daily photos of them which is always comforting. I highly recommend her services for your pets!
Isabel took excellent care of our two dogs in our home while we were out of town for a week. I appreciated her check-ins and pictures. She went above and beyond our expectations. Our dogs are not always the easiest to walk and she still walked each of them every day. Thank you!!!
Rhiannon was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Clifford, while we were overseas — he was clearly happy and well-loved the whole time. She also kept our house just the way we left it, and all of our plants were still alive (which is basically a miracle because I’m really good at killing them 😅). It was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. We’d absolutely have her back again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy 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 Sappington 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 Sappington 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 Sappington 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.
