“Noel took great care of our puppy Tito! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Aicha has been so great with our dog. He has had some special needs at times and she is always accommodating and responsive with updates. We have had both last minute done drop requests and in-home stays and she has been awesome to work with. Highly recommend.”
“Claudia was great! Sent photos throughout the day and responded quickly when I checked in. Also made my dogs their picky/spoiled lunch and sent photos afterward. Also sent me updates as to how much they ate. I’ll use Claudia again whenever needed - you should too. They’re in good hands.”
“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”
“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”
“Trinity did a great job with my temperamental chihuahua terrier mix. He doesn’t like many people but he took a liking to her right away. She was very responsive in her communication and flexible for our specific needs.”
“Great sitter. Took care of my pup and despite a small issue that was my fault, she was willing to take care of my dogs immediate needs. Much appreciated as that a situation can evolve trust. would defiantly recommend.”
“Danyel was so patient with our anxious and quirky 2yr old rescue pup who isn’t great with change. She was prompt, conscientious and kept us updated with photos and videos on our pup’s wellbeing throughout our trip. Danyel is clearly experienced with all sorts of dogs and knew how to let our pup warm up to her and give him a bit of space to adjust to us being gone and trust her as his new caretaker. After just 2 days, he was playing, cuddling, and quite relaxed! She even began teaching him new commands to help with play like “drop it”. It was so nice to come back to a clean home and not have to worry, as Danyel had cleaned everything she used. We would definitely recommend her for house sitting your pets, especially if they are anxious or nervous, as she’s incredibly observant and patient.”
“Jenna did an excellent job caring for our Great Pyr and an elderly cat with special needs while we were away. She even dealt with an escaped chicken and an ant problem and the house was left better than she found it. We appreciated how communicative she was and felt like our animals were well taken care of.”
“I reached out to Pedro as our dog has some leash aggression issues and needs an experienced hand on his walks. Our dog immediately warmed up to Pedro and left us comfortable going away on a vacation. Pedro was great with our dog and sent updates with each walk as well as some great photos of our dog. We get pretty nervous when leaving our dog as he takes some work but Pedro made us feel comfortable the whole time that our boy was being properly taken care of. 10/10 will use again, and so should you!”
“Gabriela played with my pups and they had a great time. She walked them and they went to the park. I haven’t been able to do that for quite a while. She is a superhero. We had a great conversation about tropical fish and I learned a lot about pets from her. I’ll be requesting Gabriela again.”
“From the first meet up, Abby was super responsive and very loving with our dog. She took great care of him and gave him his daily medications. I will definitely have her watch him again.”
“My 200 pound mastiff was being as uncooperative as he could be when Christina was meeting his twice daily medical needs. She remained calm, patient and caring the entire time. I could not ask for more diligent and loving care for my dogs.”
“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”
“Brina was fantastic. She bonded with our dog and two cats easily. She checked in daily with updates and reached out if she had questions. She left our house neat and tidy. She is kind and responsible. I highly recommend her.”

“It was our first time leaving our dog for over a week and Aubrey was awesome! We went from being nervous about finding somewhere to board him or have a sitter and she instantly made us feel confident he would be well taken care of. She was very responsive, gave updates, and photos of our big guy. Our dog doesn't trust most people but he instantly warmed up to her when they met. If I could give you 10 stars I would, thank you Aubrey!”

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 Sheldon 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 Sheldon 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 Sheldon 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.
