About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have ecpericance watching all different kinds of pups, I've worked with different ages, sizes, breeds, abilities, and needs. I have had practice admistering medication at feeding times, as well as watching up to 4 medium dogs at a time. I am a flexable college student that attends CSU, each of my days look a little different, although I can gaurentee the availibility to check up on your dog at least once every 3.5-4 hours! I can watch them for long or short periods of time, whatever works for you and the puppy! I care for my clients pets as I would care for my own. I work around the schedule that they are used to, aswell as keep up with their physical needs. I care for pets in a loving manner and with as much attention as possible
“Dana took excellent care of my girl. She communicated well throughout. It was clear Ellie was loved and well cared for in my absence. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Kaylin was great!! She was extremely flexible when we had to unexpectedly extend our vacation by a day. She sent pics of our pups and always answered quickly any time I messaged her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!😁”
“Amelia did a wonderful job taking care of all our pets! She sent pictures daily detailing the various adventures they were having. Our house is quite the menagerie. She juggled all of the instructions for the dog, the cats, the gecko, and the aquariums (both saltwater and freshwater). It was amazing to have one person who could handle all of it throughout the week instead of sending some to the kennel and organizing someone to swing by the house. We will definitely hire Amelia again!”
“Becca pets sat for me in my home while I was out of the state for a few days, and she was great! My dog has a few special accommodations which she totally handled in stride. My boy has separation anxiety, but he seemed calm around Becca, and by the time I got home he was amazingly relaxed. She regularly sent me photos, updates, and was very responsive to communication. I’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you Becca!”
“Rover Review We had a great experience with our sitter! She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away, and when we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. The house was also left clean and in great shape, which we really appreciated. She was very attentive to the dogs while she was there and gave us updates without overwhelming us with constant messages, which made being away much less stressful. We really appreciated being able to enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were in good hands. We would definitely have her stay with them again!”
“Cynthia did a wonderful job loving and caring for our dog. She sent updates on how he was doing and made us feel at ease about leaving him. She is very friendly and seems to have a lot of experience with taking care of animals. I would highly recommend Cynthia and will definitely be re-booking!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal caregiver with over five and a half years of experience working in veterinary hospitals, where I worked in daycare, boarding, and front desk operations. My role gave me daily exposure to pets with all kinds of medical needs, behavior challenges, and special routines, and it taught me how to recognize emergencies, communicate clearly with owners, and keep pets safe and comfortable. While most of my vet‑hospital work was front desk and care coordination, I’ve gained extensive hands‑on experience at home caring for my own pets and pets I’ve sat for. This includes oral medications, injectable insulin for diabetic cats, fluid administration for senior cats, and monitoring pets with chronic conditions. My own cat recently lived to 20 and required daily special care, so I understand how important gentle, consistent medical routines are. I also worked in Physical Therapy, assisting the therapist, helping pets with mobility exercises, stretches, strengthening routines, and comfort‑focused handling. I’m familiar with braces, wheelchairs, and supportive devices, and I’m comfortable helping pets maintain the training or therapeutic exercises they’re already working on (including basic puppy training). I’m especially good with shy, scared, or anxious animals. I’ve always had a calm presence that helps nervous pets warm up quickly, and I take the time to understand each animal’s comfort level and communication style. Beyond dogs and cats, I have extensive multi‑species experience: • Pocket pets (guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, rats) • Reptiles (snakes, lizards, frogs) • Birds (large parrots to small finches) • Aquatic pets (frogs, fish, aquarium care) I’ve personally had dogs my entire life and cats since I was 10, and I’m comfortable with everything from puppies and kittens to very large dogs and fragile seniors. I’m also unfazed by the messy realities of pet care — litter boxes, accidents, vomit, picking up poop, mud, grooming cleanup, bathing, and nail trims (preferably with my dremel). Whether your pet needs gentle companionship, structured exercise, continued training, mobility support, or medical‑routine consistency, I provide calm, reliable, and detail‑oriented care. I send thorough updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm available most days, including weekends. Late night bookings are welcome. I'm only available for Early mornings on rare occasions. This is my primary job, so my availability is rather open. I currently have 2 older dogs, a young cat, and a snake. Both of my dogs are given oral medications daily and have fish oil added to their evening meals. One of my dogs is a very picky eater, so all of his meals involve mixing wet and dry food. I also recently lost a 20 year old cat who required daily oral medications, a special type of kitty litter, and injectable subcutaneous fluids routinely. I also regularly care for a diabetic cat who requires injectable insulin at specific times every morning and evening. My snake usually gets fed frozen mice (that have been warned up).
“Mckinnley did a great job watching Zeke and Charlie! It was so nice to come home to them and not having them all stressed out from being in the kennel! She sent photos of them and they looked so happy! I know she spoiled them just like we do!”
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”
“Nick was great! He came for a meet & great before finalizing plans which I really appreciate. My dog has some behavioral needs (mainly dog reactivity) that I wanted someone experienced to handle, and he followed all of our guidelines perfectly to make the stay go as smoothly as possible. I’ve been nervous to find a sitter who is comfortable managing dog reactivity and I’m relieved that I was able to find Nick who is willing to accommodate special needs like that.”
“Where do I begin, Kayla is such a gem to have on Rover!! We rarely leave our baby with non family but Kayla really is his new favorite aunt, our golden who can have separation anxiety immediately loved her! She made him feel very safe and loved from what we saw from pictures and all her updates. His safety and comfort were never a concern for us while with Kayla which gave us the peace of mind we need in order to leave the state for travel. Kayla watched Comet for 6 days and he had the best time with her, playing and cuddling. Our house looked amazing when we got back as well, would rebook no hesitation!”
“Jessica was fabulous. We met ahead of time and our pups adored her. She is kind and very patient with both the dogs and my rambling on about all the details. When our flights got mixed up, she was kind enough to arrive earlier so the dogs weren’t left alone - huge relief for me. She also left the house (and plants) in great condition. Better than we left it. Recommend her 109%. Thanks Jessica!!”
“Courtney was great, and gave us updates and pictures regularly throughout our trip! Our Berner got into some clothing, and she let us know immediately and kept an eye on her. We'd love to have her watch our pups again!”
About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was young- from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish I have always been surrounded by animals. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training- I always want to ensure animals feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed when they are in my care. Before moving to Boston, I attended Colorado State University seeking my degree in veterinary medicine- the classes I attended focused on animal behavior, animal environment, and specifically handling large animals such as cattle. During my time there, I acquired my IACUC training for animal handling (can provide if needed, however it technically expired last year) and successfully performed medication administration, vaccine/medication injections, bovine castration, proper animal handling, and more. Unfortunately due to a family emergency I could not finish my degree, however I am looking to complete my animal training certification, as I still love working with animals! While I, myself, do not currently have any pets, my roommate has a cat that I help care for- his name is Boog and he's incredibly cute! I currently work part time Saturday-Monday mornings- after 3pm I am completely free! If your pets can be left alone for about 8-9 hours (travel time depending), I can house sit on these days while working. The rest of the week, I spend time on my hobbies and doing research on animal behavior, meaning I will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever else your pet may desire. I like to set up a trial run before any official appointment just to make sure your animal is comfortable with me and vice versa! This gives a great time where your animal has a familiar person (you!) to reassure them that I (a stranger) am no threat, as well as going over care instructions, any medical concerns, and your typical routine for your pet(s).
About: Hi! I'm a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, drop-in visits, or caring for senior pets and those with special needs, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, routine, and preferences, helping reduce stress and keep life as normal as possible. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. Building trust with both pets and their people is what I value most, and I look forward to creating a positive experience for you and your beloved companion. I am currently self employed and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate your pets needs most days/ times. I am also available for overnight stays if needed. I am happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their home. I am also available for overnight stays if needed as well
“Rebecca walked our pup a few times and stayed at our house for a week while we were on vacation and we were so happy to have her. She is very responsive and answers all calls and texts promptly, sends daily pictures and updates and left our home exactly as we did. We would be very happy to leave our pets in her care again!”
“Marissa was awesome! She listed to all my details during the meet and greet. She was communicative and responsible. She sent me regular updates. I came home to happy dogs. I’m absolutely using her again and I would recommend her!”

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 Severance 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 Severance 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 Severance 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.
