“Audrey did a wonderful job with our two rambunctious German Shepherds. She is a good listener, attentive, and punctual. We got lots of great feedback while we were away, and when she needed additional information, was quick to contact us. She was housesitting/petsitting for us - when we returned, house was immaculate. She approaches this work as a real professional. Happy we found her, and fortunate to have her back in a few short days!”

About: Hey, I’m Caitlin! I have been a dog owner my entire life, and have always adored caring for them. I’m always ready to match a dog’s energy, whether that be cuddling on a couch or playing fetch in the yard! I have had many experiences with dogs that need at home medical attention, such as administering unwanted pills. While most of my experience has been with dogs, I also enjoy getting to know cats, whether they be playful or sassy! I hope I can be the right fit for your furry friend! I’m currently a full time student at Eastern Washington University. My classes are Monday through Friday, taking up only two to four hours a day. I am a quick learner of the environment that a pet is in, and can adapt to their wants, needs, and routines. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I have a great understanding of making sure they are safe, cared for, and well loved.
“Rachel was amazing. We contacted her day of so it was pretty short notice and she made herself available and was on time. She was kind and patient and caring. Otis adored her. She has a lot of experience and knowledge. I felt totally comfortable with her in our home and would absolutely ask her to dog sit for us again. Ty Rachel!”

“Jackie took amazing care of our house and our nervous and shy dog. She sent lots of updates and photos, and was a pleasure to work with. We’ll me booking with Jackie again for sure!! Highly recommend.”


“Cadie was great! Took care of my pets and plants and problem-solved when a portion of the fence broke during a windstorm. I will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need my pets watched!”

“Except for the fact that our dogs were happy to see us, you wouldn’t know that we had ever left. Everything was neat as a pin and the dogs seemed quite content. Carla had good communication and was very professional. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up with so many pets from cats and dogs to bunnies and snakes. My roomate has a cat and Ive been traveling a lot so no pets for me right now but I would still love to interact with pets on my day to day. I work 9-5 but it is a flexible schedule. I can visit your pets before and after work or during lunch! I can adjust my schedule based on your pets needs. I am very empathetic, kind and considerate of your home, rules and expectations with your pet. I can not promise your pets will not be love bombed.
“Alexandra has proved herself to be a great cat-sitter. She followed our cat care instructions very well. She spent time with them in the evening/night when they get the most lonely(they sleep most of the day), gave them wet food on schedule, checked their water fountains, dry food dispensers and litter robot to make sure they were in order, and cleaned up after Boo when he puked. When we came home, the cats seemed emotionally very well and cared for. I could tell she had spent the right amount of time with them and given them enough attention, because they were not upset, stressed or angry at me for leaving them as they would be if they had not been attended to sufficiently. Alexandra was also very kind to our apartment while she was over, leaving it very clean. Best of all, she was easy to communicate with while we were away. I definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!”

“Annaclare is an excellent house sitter and dog sitter! She was very thoughtful and thorough in her care. She showed so much love to our boy during her stay, and was very proactive in asking any clarifying questions. She sent us excellent photos and updates which was so nice to have all these since it was our first time working with her. She spent such quality time with our boy during our time away…and I am so grateful. I highly recommend Annaclare.”

“I felt super confident leaving my dog with Ava. She is such a good communicator and was very flexible with my needs for drop off and pickup. She stayed at my house and left everything very clean and tidy. Will definitely use again!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs as pets all my life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I truly enjoy their different personalities, from the energetic pups who want to play and explore to the ones who are happiest curled up next to you. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, kindness, attention, and love that I’ve always given my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while they’re with me. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while also respecting your home and your instructions.
“Payton was great. We booked her for the first time after our normal Rover sitter moved away. She was very responsive in communication in both setting up a meet & greet and during the visit. I probably would have had her to the house so she would be more comfortable with everything (where the food is located and where to find things) but I think it worked out fine. I try to make things easy for the sitter with a cheer sheet because we have three big dogs all with personality and slightly different needs. She seemed great with all of it. Our trip was cut short by a day and she seemed fine with the change of plans. We appreciate someone who is a bit flexible bc of our family. We would certainly use her again.”


About: Hi there! Anyone who knows me knows I am an animal lover! I am interested in helping you out with your pets! I have grown up with all different pets and would love to provide you and your pet with a trusting and fun experience. I am confident with all different types of dogs and all animals. I have animals of my own currently. I treat all animals like my own and am a very responsible individual! I also grew up on a farm with many other pets so I am opened to farms if needed. I can confidently say I would be the right option for you and will provide your pet with anything they need! I look forward to hearing back from you! I am currently a stay at home mom looking to make some extra income. I love animals and would love to get to hangout and care for yours during my time! I try my best to keep your pets on the same routine as you do. I know how important our animals are to us and their safety and happiness is my top priority. I will treat your animals as I would hope someone would treat mine.

About: As a Pacific Northwest native, I’ve always loved the outdoors, exploring nature, and the animals who make life a little better. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave yours in someone else’s care, you want to know they’re safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. I work remotely in nonprofit project coordination, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be present and attentive while caring for your pets. Whether your furry companion loves outdoor adventures, leisurely walks, backyard lounging, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m comfortable caring for different personalities, from independent pets who enjoy their own space to affectionate, high-energy companions who need extra attention and activity. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, respect your instructions, and make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment. My goal is to make your time away easier, knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, follow their usual routine, and treat your home and your animals with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, or a trusted companion for your pet while you travel, I want you to feel confident that they’re getting more than the basics. They’re getting genuine attention, patience, and care. 🌿 I work remotely in nonprofit project coordination, so I have real flexibility to care for your pet properly, whether you need local sitting or someone reliable while you travel. I’m equally good with the laid back companion or the high maintenance pet who needs constant attention. You can trust me with your animal. I work remotely which means I show up for your pet with real attention instead of a quick check in. Whether it’s a local sit or you need someone for a road trip, I’m flexible and reliable. Your animal will actually be cared for, not just kept alive until you get back.
About: For over 15 years, caring for animals has been a natural and joyful part of my life. I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs of every kind, from tiny chihuahuas to energetic pitbulls, from playful kittens to independent alley cats and that lifelong experience has shaped the way I care for every pet I meet. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a deep understanding of each animal’s unique personality and needs. Friends, family, and even coworkers have trusted me for years to look after their pets, knowing I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in keeping their fur babies safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s following detailed feeding routines, monitoring behavior changes, or making sure a shy cat feels comfortable, I take pride in noticing the little things that make a big difference. I also have extensive experience with high‑energy dogs from rambunctious puppies to enthusiastic adults who just need a fun outlet. I love matching their excitement with positive energy, play, structure, and affection. Bringing joy to animals is one of my favorite things, and I always aim to be a comforting, reliable presence for every pet in my care. Animals have been part of my world for as long as I can remember, and even today I spend my free time caring for my own cat, who keeps me entertained and grounded. With extra time on my hands, I’d love to help others who may not have as much flexibility. Supporting pet parents and giving their animals the love and attention they deserve is something I truly enjoy. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, pays attention to every detail, and brings genuine affection to every visit, I’d be honored to help care for your fur babies. I work full‑time Monday through Friday, but pet care fits naturally and consistently into my weekly routine. On weekdays, I’m available outside of my work hours for drop‑ins, evening visits, or care that aligns with the times I’m home. I make sure every visit is calm, focused, and never rushed, so your pets get real attention even on busy days. On weekends, I’m fully available all day, both Saturday and Sunday. This gives me plenty of time for longer stays, multiple visit days, or more hands on care for pets who need extra company, enrichment, or supervision. Whether it’s a single cat who loves affection or a household with multiple pets, I’m able to dedicate full days to keeping them happy and comfortable. I care for pets in their homes with the same respect and attention I give my own. When I’m in someone else’s space, I’m mindful of their privacy, routines, and boundaries. My focus is always on the pets keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved while honoring the trust their owners place in me. I value kindness, respect, and responsibility, and I bring those values into every visit with every fur baby I care for.
About: Dog owners and their dogs will love the fact that I understand a dogs needs I have three dogs of my own who I spend most of my time around, I understand the basics of caring about dogs and how to treat them and teach them how to be well behaved! I’ve had my oldest dog from the time he was 8 weeks, he is now 11. I have trained him how to sit, speak, shake hands, lie down, and he was fully potty trained in 1 month of having him! I also enjoy cuddling and playing outside with dogs which I’ve learned dogs are just like humans they need activity and love to stay happy and healthy, and that’s why I believe my service will be a wonderful thing. I’m currently working part-time and would love to be able to help take care of your animals, when you go on vacation or just need them walked. Dogs will always be on leash and walk on the inside part of the sidewalk, when letting them out to use the restroom I’ll ensure it’s safe for them to do so first if the area isn’t fenced.
“Sean was a wonderful sitter for our often anxious large dog. He kept our dog happy and comfortable while we were gone on a long trip, and kept our plants watered as well. He communicated daily with great pictures and updates, and was thoughtful in his suggestions regarding how to keep our dog happy and healthy while we were gone. Our house was in great shape when we returned, and our dog has a trusted friend. I won’t hesitate to contact Sean the next time we leave town!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scribner
Alyvia has house sat for our cats twice now and both times she was absolutely wonderful. Great with communication, very helpful with a couple of random things that popped up around the house, left the house very clean, and great with the cats of course! Our cats are wary of new people and they warmed up to her quick! I would highly recommend hiring Alyvia to watch your fur babies!

Alyvia has watched our precious Odie many of times, she is absolutely amazing with him. He absolutely loves her and gets soo excited any time he sees her! We are so lucky to have her as Odies puppy sitter. It takes a weight off our shoulders knowing our little fur baby is getting such good care and is happy when we are away from home.
Alyvia gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our family vacation because she gave amazing care for our 3 fur babies. Also knowing they were in our house doing their normal routine gave them zero anxiety that we were gone. She is highly reliable and respectful of our house while she pet and house sat.

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 Scribner 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 Scribner 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 Scribner 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.
