“We could tell coming home from our trip that our dog and cat had experienced lots of love while we were gone! Our home was well taken care of and our packages were neatly put inside. Talia was very communicative, on time, and even made sure she had our dogs favorite treats on hand when she walked through the door.”
“Our pets are happy and well taken care of, and our house is better than when we left - what more can anyone ask for! Tim kept our minds at ease with his daily updates and great photos showing our fur babies relaxed and joyful. We will definitely book him again!”
“Rachel was communicative with updates throughout the home stay! Our high energy pups were tuckered out when we came back. The house was clean and tidy which was appreciated. Would recommend Rachel for anyone.”
“Csenka treated our puppy Almond with so much care during her first ever day of pet sitting. We got frequent communication, including photo updates and felt confident that our girl was in great hands! We’d have Csenka back anytime and look forward to future visits or dog walks”
About: Complete animal lover. Grew up with dogs and dog sitting for neighbors. Currently have one senior Beagle named Ruby who is great with all animals. I work from home so I can give your pet attention throughout the day. Morning walks, lunch walks, evening walks, you name it. Active dogs are no issue for me to care for. I walk my dog multiple times daily as we do not have a fenced in yard. Ruby loves having company with her on her walks.
“It was so great to have Emer stay with mollie at my house. Mollie immediately took to her and had so much fun. She sent plenty of videos, pictures and updates while I was gone. Mollie was a bit sad when I opened the door upon my return and realized I wasn’t Emer. Can’t say enough great things and will be using Emer for my pet sitting when I have to travel for work”
“Highly recommend! Shalindra provided a week of in-home care for our two dogs, a guinea pig and a gecko. She was delightful to work with. The dogs took to her very quickly, and she was affectionately patient with their unique/opposite personalities. I especially appreciated her daily photo and video updates, and how careful she was to ask questions and provide details on anything happening at the house. I felt confident all was well cared-for, and was truly able to enjoy the time away because Shalindra had everything covered at home.”
“Saghar did a wonderful job watching our high energy fur baby. She was communicated with us daily while we were away and didn’t hesitate to reach out as needed. I would definitely recommend her. 👍🏻”
“Did an amazing job watching my fur babies while I was out of town. Takes the cutest photos & provides consistent updates. It was reassuring knowing my dogs were in good hands, they were so relaxed and happy when I got home. Will definitely re-book!”
“Ann is awesome! I’m always so grateful to have her watching my sweet Aspire! She is super communicative and I loved having all of the photos and videos of my cat.”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 5 years, caring for my own pup through every stage from energetic puppyhood to a trained, happy adult dog! I handle daily walks, feeding routines, and can give plenty of playtime. I can also handle medications if needed. I try my best to understand dog behavior, body language, and what it takes to keep pets safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I treat every pup with the same love and consistency I give my own, and I try to take care of their individual needs. I currently work from home, which gives me a little flexibility in my schedule during the week as well as where I am able to work from. I am also available on the weekends for pet sitting or an overnight sit. I can travel to your home to watch your pet from the place they feel most comfortable. I can focus on keeping their routine as familiar as possible, so it makes the time away from you a little easier! I will make sure each pet gets lots of love, and reassurance so they feel safe while you’re away.
“My dogs were super happy with Eric. He sent me regular updates to keep me in the loop and communication was good. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter they can trust.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a small kid! I believe pets deserve all the love, and I understand and am able to work with reactive dogs as well. I do work full time remotely! But I use all my breaks to walk and play with my dogs. I am almost always home, and visit the dog part frequently I treat my pets, and all pets with love and respect. I always make sure that they are able to go potty when they need to, get fed consistently, and have plenty toys and treats.
“My dogs absolutely love Ravan. I was gone on a fairly long vacation but was kept updated with photos and knew they were so well taken care of!!!! Can’t recommend Ravan strongly enough - she’s just wonderful.”
“Kayleigh was great about sending daily photos and responded quickly to any communication. It’s clear that she loves animals and that our pets were very well-taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her pet sit for us again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seahurst
Hunter is very trustworthy and seems to really love pets. Hunter was here on time and was very reliable. We have several pets with complicated care needs, including multiple medications at different times, and Hunter stayed on top of all of those. We have cats that can’t eat each other’s food, or they’ll get sick, and that was managed successfully as well. Hunter provided updates upon request and we came home to happy, healthy pets. I highly recommend Hunter!
My sweet but reactive dog seemed happy and tired when we came home! Francesca took her to her favorite walking spot everyday and sent a lot of photos of their outings. She tried to make friends with our super shy cats. Everyone seemed cared for. So thank you.
After unexpectedly losing our dog sitter of 10 years, we were honestly nervous about finding someone new. Our two Frenchies are family, and leaving them with someone else felt like a huge leap of faith. Then we found Alex, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we left, Alex kept us updated with frequent messages and so many wonderful photos. It wasn’t just that she was checking in—every update showed how genuinely invested she was in making sure our dogs were happy, comfortable, and loved. It was so reassuring to see them snuggled up with her, playing, and clearly feeling right at home. When we returned, it was obvious how much care and affection she had given them. They were relaxed, happy, and so well cared for. As dog parents, there is no greater feeling than knowing your pets were loved as if they were her own. On top of providing exceptional care for our dogs, Alex treated our home with incredible respect. We came home to a house that was actually cleaner than when we left! That level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail is so rare and was such a wonderful surprise after traveling. Alex exceeded every expectation we had. She is kind, dependable, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and for the first time since losing our longtime sitter, we have complete peace of mind when we travel. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets and your home as if they were her own, Alex is the one. We recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with her again and again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Seahurst 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 Seahurst 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 Seahurst 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
