“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Claire is so sweet! She had very good communication both before and during our vacation which was important to us since this was her first stay with Ivy. She also sent us regular pictures that made being away easier - at least for us. We live out in the country so our dog has a WiFi collar in case she gets lost, but it also allows us to see her movement. We could tell that Ivy was getting good exercise daily and was being well cared for. We would definitely book Claire again!”
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
About: I was in charge of the care and compassion of 24 dogs and 20 cats in southern Oregon. It was an honor to work with so many types of animals. Enjoy senior dogs and cats. One Pet Only Sanctuary for Your Furry Friend. I'm am currently retired and have a flexible schedule, making me available to provide dependable and attentive pet-setting care. I am able to give your pet the time, companionship, and consistency they need. I only care for 1 pet at a time I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and caring environment in my home. Although I do not have a backyard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and fresh air through regular walks and outdoor playtime. I am happy to follow each pet's normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable.
“Kylah may very well be the best rover sitter we’ve ever had (and we’ve had some really good ones!). Our animals were so happy and clearly well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her to others and would love to work together again in the future!”
“She loves dogs. Susan is a great communicator, reliable and friendly and prompt. We could tell within a few seconds that our dogs were in good hands with Susan as their sitter. She did a great job letting us know that the dogs were happy and well cared for while we were at our event. We highly recommend her and will ask her to sit again the next time we are in the area”
“Bri took care of our 4 pets with ease and care. She was super communicative throughout the stay and was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend!”
“We left our dog and cat in Haleys's care for six days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog is very anxious around new people, but he warmed up to her quickly—which is a huge deal for him! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both happy and comfortable at home. Haley is absolutely wonderful, professional, and clearly has a gift with animals. I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”
“Billi outdid himself. I was really nervous to leave my pet for the first time and Billi was really supportive and cared for my pet as I would have myself! I highly recommend Billi and will definitely call him again!”
“Tabitha was kind, caring, and loving of our pets! She was very attentive to their personalities and sent us lots of photos, which we always appreciate when away from home. Would 100% recommend Tabitha to anyone!”
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
“Adeline is the best and our pugs loved her, they can be a lil crazy at times but she handled them. She watched our house as well and made sure it was safe and sound while on vacation. 10/10 will definitely book again. She spent hours playing and showing our pugs love, honestly I don’t think they missed us haha. Definitely consider her to watch your doggos! Can’t say enough good things.”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“I love knowing my four cats, three dogs and three chickens are being cared for so well when I am out of town. It's great seeing all the pictures from Erica of them enjoying their time in their own space with her. Thank you!”
“Alexis was fantastic! She sent so many photos throughout our trip and took great care of our home and our babies. Photos of our pups were always happy and joyful and it was a great relief to be able to spend time away knowing they’re well taken care of and happy! I will definitely have to be on Alexis’ regulars list for pet-sitting and house-sitting.”
“Taylor is a very communicative, enthusiastic, and attentive cat and house sitter. She provided lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, and we came back to a tidy home and happy cat. We will be booking with Taylor again if we can!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Taylor did such an amazing job taking care of my puppies, kitty, and home. She sent updates throughout my time away and even checked in about a small concern she had just to be certain everything was ok. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. I came home to happy puppies and a clean house. I will absolutely be booking Taylor again.
Alexis and Jacob did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for my three high energy dogs over the weekend. They were mindful about the instructions I left, checked in with pictures daily, and were unfazed by my pups’ antics. I was also happy to come home to a clean yard and house, along with three happy and well-cared for dogs. Would book with them again without hesitation- thanks Alexis and Jacob!
Jennifer was wonderful with Poppy and a very courteous and conscientious house guest. She kept me posted on how Poppy was doing throughout the week, including pics. Clearly, Poppy didn’t even miss us! Jennifer is one of her favorite people and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she gave our girl while we were away. Thank you!
Amanda took very good care of our 1 yr old American Staffordshire pit bull mix and our 13 yr old Staffordshire bull terrier. She did an excellent job with them. Her first stay was for 6 days We are happy to have her stay in our home again on our next vacation! We do recommend her highly!
Emily was great! So communicative with updates - she did a great job sending photos and videos of their time together. Our dog was naughty and got into some flour in the pantry and Emily got it all cleaned up and handled the small issue with ease. Would definitely recommend her and would hire her again if her schedule allows. Thanks for everything, Emily!
I had an emergency hospitalization and I was so thankful that Sal was readily available to come to my home and take care of my two Yorkies! She has a good heart and took great care of my two babies- which put my mind at ease while I was trying to get through my surgical procedure and heal! I would highly 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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.
