About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for them became second nature. My favorites have always been dogs and cats. We always seemed to have a new litter of kittens around, and I naturally became the one who spent the most time with them. Whether it was feeding them, playing with them, or helping them grow into confident, loving cats, I loved every minute of it. That lifelong experience has taught me that every pet has their own personality and needs. I provide patient, dependable care and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful kitten, or a senior who needs a little extra attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I do work full time; however, I have set days off. The hours I work are spread throughout the day, but with enough notice, I can plan accordingly. I am flexible. When your pet is in my care, I treat them like one of my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and active time. Whether that's going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, or simply spending quality time together. I'm attentive to all of their daily needs, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines you have in place. I know pets feel most comfortable with consistency, so I'll do everything I can to help them feel safe and secure, especially in the place they know best. Their home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving the same care, affection, and respect that I would give my own.
“This was our third time booking with Kimmie, and once again, she exceeded our expectations! 🐾 She takes such great care of our dogs—it’s clear they feel safe and loved while we’re away. We always come home to happy pups and peace of mind knowing they’ve been in such capable hands. Kimmie is reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. We trust her and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend! 💯”
About: I have 10+ years of pet care through my own animals and close family and friends. I have cared for cats, dogs, mice, lizards, hermit crabs, fish the list goes on! Let me help take some stress off your hands by caring for your pet I work full time but I am happy to do early mornings, nights and days off. Let’s chat and I can work you into the schedule as best I can! I currently have three cats at home, I am open to working with multiple animals at once. I’m very patient as well so I will have your animals best interest in mind.
“Amazing! Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety and Elle was able to keep him calm and relaxed while we were gone for the weekend! Definitely would recommend and will be asking for her back! ❤️❤️”
“Kelsie is awesome! I will definitely ask her to watch my babies again, she was so communicative and gave me pictures and a daily schedule of happenings. She even gave my animal her medication which wasn’t even planned. It feels really good to leave town and know that your animals are in the hands of someone like her.”
“My pets love when Karen comes to stay! They get so much care and attention that I'm not sure they have time to miss us. I always come home to a clean house and happy pets. I highly recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Darla! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was always timely and reliable. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos of our dogs while we were away as it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was clear our pups were getting lots of attention and love. We came home to happy dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Darla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Irving was fabulous. We are RV'ing here in Texas for our granddaughters HS graduation and two weeks ago, lost our oldest dog, Maverick. Oliver, our five month old puppy hasn't been alone since his passing and we were concerned leaving him alone during the graduation ceremony. Irving was a last minute booking and we are so grateful he accepted our request. I couldnt be more pleased. Thank you Irving.”
“What a great and kind pet sitter. She communicated with us very well. Went out of her way for us and took care of our home while we were away. Most importantly it Did loved her. Highly recommend! We will be rebooking with her”
“Linda is so considerate, communicative, and clean! She wants to do right by you and your fur babies! She was patient and willing to work with our challenging pup. We were super grateful for her help!”
About: I’ve grown up around a variety of animal and started taking care of cats, dogs, surgar gliders, and chinchillas since 15yrs old. With over 23 years of experience, I have yet to met a pet that I was not fond of or one that didn’t like me. I recognize separation is stressful for both owners and pets and strive to make it easier on both. As I am self-employed, my schedule is flexible. I am ready to accommodate any request for your pets needs. I am available for extended visits and over night stays. Meet and greet is required to ensure a good fit and no stress environment for the animal. I provide complete supervision during any outside time whether it’s on a walk or in the backyard. I make sure all toys are safe to play with and do not pose chocking hazard. I have extensive experience with large and small breeds as well as senior dogs. I also have experience administering medication.
About: I have hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from highly trained protection dogs to affectionate couch loving pups! My background includes working in a professional pet hotel, where I cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and behavioral needs. I’m confident handling large, powerful breeds, high energy dogs and dogs that require extra patience or structure. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of providing a safe, calm, and positive environment. Whether your dog needs structured care, plenty of exercise, or just someone to cuddle with, I tailor my approach to their individual needs. My priority is making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I have a very open schedule and can accommodate time frames as necessary. I am home majority of the day and can care for your animal as my own! I treat all animals with love and respect as if they are my own. I emphasize professionalism and work ethic to leave both the owner and animal overly satisfied!

Jacqueline did a great job watching our two mini golden doodles for four nights at our house. One of our dogs had an ear issue and she took her to the vet to get treated. Lots of nice pics showing the dogs having a fun time on walks and in the back yard. Thank you for caring so well for our furry babies!
Micah was absolutely an answered prayer!! We have an annual family beach trip, and we needed someone to watch our sweet pup. We tried a daycare place which got him sick both times, and I was on the verge of canceling our trip because we were running out of time. Then I decided to check out Rover for the first time and came across Micah. From the very beginning, she was quick to communicate and full of positivity. Within a week of our trip we were able to meet her and get everything set up. She truly went above and beyond!! She sent multiple photos, video updates, and texts throughout each day to fill me in on how our little guy was doing. The peace of mind she gave us was much needed as this was our first trip away from Rook. We came home to a clean house, clean sheets, and one VERY happy (and tired) pup! She even worked with him on some training! If I could leave 10 stars, I would. We are SO grateful for her, for everything she did to take care of our little dude and for holding down the fort at home while we were away. Micah is amazing, and we will definitely be calling her the next time we have a trip that we can’t bring Rook on. THANK YOU!!! 🫶🏻
Ren was reliable and took great care of my pup, as well as the house. It's no wonder the team has great reviews and so many repeat bookings. I'm grateful...she got my kiddo through a severe storm, too, and Roo is afraid of storms. I had no worries. She was responsive, yet didn't overly communicate as I've had with other sitters.

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 Serenada 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 Serenada 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 Serenada 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.
