“Liz was a phenomenal sitter. We loved her warmth and kindness. Our baby gravitated to her right away. Liz made us feel comfortable which allowed us to go away a feel extremely comfortable. She communicated throughout the entire time and ensured us that everything was going smoothly. We hope to work with Liz again!”
“Madeline did such a wonderful job taking care of our pups in our home for the weekend! She was super responsible and responsive and it was clear our babies had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely reach out to Madeline again for future dogsitting!”
“Ashley was wonderful and I will definitely request her next time. She was willing to be very flexible with the hours since which was very helpful to me for this sitting due to a family situation. She seemed to really care about my senior dog and didn't want to leave her alone at all, which really put my mind at ease because my old gal keeps falling and is unable to get up on her own sometimes and it breaks my heart to think she may be home alone struggling. She sent photos and updates often which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“We feel lucky to have found Erika to take care of our pups! She sent lots of great pictures and regular updates without us even having to ask. The house was in perfect condition when we got home, and the pups reported only good things! We'd be happy to have Erika watch Brie and Pod again in the future.”
“Kat is absolutely wonderful! She's amazing with the animals, super responsive, and just really friendly and helpful. She was very thorough, she sent us lots of pictures, and she let the animals snuggle with her in bed, even comforting our terrified pup through a couple of summer thunderstorms. We will definitely book again.”
“Corinne was great with my three cats. Two of them are very affectionate and need a lot of love. The third is really shy. Cornnie spent a lot of time with the needy ones and had calm energy for the shy one. My shy cat actually ended up headbutting her by the end of the week and he has never done that with a sitter before! We will be booking with Cornnie again.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, starting with my childhood dogs, Bambi and Canelo. I also grew up caring for a parrot, a cockatiel, fish, and a hamster, which gave me experience with different types of pets from an early age. I currently have a dog named Zara, who has brought even more joy and experience into my life. These experiences have taught me how to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule ahead of time so I can make their time with me as comfortable and consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet may need. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and their surroundings to help keep them safe. I’ll also keep you updated during their care with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“Justin was absolutely wonderful to have as a pet sitter. He was very responsive from the beginning and was fantastic with our cat & dog. He took great care of our home while we were away and will definitely book with him again!”
“Yolanda stayed at our home and watched our dog Polly. Polly loves her and we are always thankful that we have Yolanda to keep her healthy and loved while we are away. Yolanda is the best!”
“Annah was AMAZING!! She took great care of our 2 dogs and sent us the best pictures ever. We could tell she truly cared for our boys and made sure we were always updated on the day! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter”
“Fennel was such a delight- they were super responsive and the dogs were comfortable with them right away. They provided updates through the trip and I came home to a tidy place and happy pups. Highly recommend!!”
“Shanae is easily one of the best sitters we have used in a while - we used to have a go-to sitter that moved away for grad school and went through a few additional sitters without much luck on a good fit, but we're incredibly happy to have found Shanae. She took care of our dog as her own, took her on even longer walks than we regularly do, sent pictures, and our dog seemed so happy and relaxed when we got home, when in the past she has seemed more relieved than happy. We're sure Abby looks forward to seeing her again!”
“Abby and Chris housesat for 2 weeks, caring very well for my old pup. He has several medical needs, and they managed everything without issue. Abby checked in daily with pictures and messages, and I came home to happy pup and tidy home. Thanks so much!”
“William was great! He stayed overnight with our dogs during a holiday trip. He met our dogs prior to his stay, and they immediately connected with him. William provided pictures and updates throughout his stay, and was extremely professional! Thank you, William!”
“My pet babies were extremely well cared for by Lakshmi. She is clearly an animal (all kinds) lover. She was extremely attentive and followed my instructions exactly and kept me posted with lots of pics and texts. I had zero concerns for their well-being under Lakshmi’s watchful and loving care. I do hope she is available when I travel in future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Jason was fantastic with my two dogs, including my Belgian Malinois who is mot always the easiest. Jason was great at caring for the boys, communicating frequently and helpfully, providing timely updates and being on time with their schedule. He is a kind and personable sitter and I could tell that he genuinely cared about my dogs. So grateful to have found Jason!!”

Would absolutely recommend Tristen to dogsit in your home! Tristen was very patient with learning about my pup's quirks and made me feel comfortable that his needs would be met while we were away. Tristen was an excellent communicator throughout and we got some wonderful update pictures of our dog that are frameworthy! My dog was loving life. Tristen also took care of our plants as requested. Much appreciated. Thank you so much Tristen.
Madeline did an OUTSTANDING job watching our 2 dogs ( A Collie & A Sheltie) in our home 24/7 for an entire week. No accidents on the floors & lots of great photos of the dogs sent to us each day ! The boys clearly loved their time with her & we will definitely book her again for our next summer vacation.She was also able to successfully administer pet medication & special dog food to one of our dogs in our absence. I would give her the highest recommendation possible for anyone interested in a top quality pet-sitter !
Corinne was great with my three cats. Two of them are very affectionate and need a lot of love. The third is really shy. Cornnie spent a lot of time with the needy ones and had calm energy for the shy one. My shy cat actually ended up headbutting her by the end of the week and he has never done that with a sitter before! We will be booking with Cornnie again.
Sarah was amazing when watching our two dogs and cat while we were away on vacation. The animals were loved and well taken care of during her watch. The house was taken care of and she was very communicative and prompt with her replies. She took lots of pictures and gave the perfect amount of updates.
Shanae was fantastic with our German Shepherd. He gets pills multiple times a day and she went above and beyond caring for and spending time with him. He absolutely loved her and we were so glad she was with him for the time we were away. We highly recommend her and she is truly someone who will love your pet while you’re gone. She sent daily photos and videos, and spoiled him every single day. She is the best!!!
Majdoline did an amazing job house sitting for a week with 5 dogs. She was flexible and easy to communicate with and also went above and beyond caring for the house and yard. We came home to happy doggies and will be using her again and would definitely recommend her!
I wish I could give Yasmine a million stars! She is so attentive. When one of our dogs was having tummy issues, she offered to make her a plain meal to help. She is so responsive and sends so many pictures and updates. We were so nervous leaving our babies but she is a pro. 100% recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!
Johnny was great at communicating early and often. Made sure he met both our pets and came to the apartment beforehand to make sure everything was a good fit. He sent pictures and updates daily on our vacation and took very good care of our apartment. I definitely will book with Johnny again and would recommend him to anyone looking.

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 Savage 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 Savage 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 Savage 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.
