“Caelyn is the best! She cared for our dog with so much love and attention! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was okay, even when our return was delayed. I very much recommend Caelyn and she will be our first choice if we ever need dog sitting again!”
“Brady doesn’t warm up to new people easily, so Amy had quite a challenge from the start. She was incredibly patient, and kept us updated with frequent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. She took Brady on several walks to help calm his nerves. I felt comfortable knowing Brady was in her care, and I’ve already booked Amy again in November. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter.”
About: I've had animals ever since I was young, from cats to dogs. I frequently had to keep each fed during the day matching their schedule and take them out every 2 hours or so. I animal sit my neighbors' animals a few times every year for a week or more, attending to the schedule they lay out for me. I'm currently a full-time student at ECU and need a part-time job for my days after i attend classes. I am free MWF from 9am-1pm and all day after 2pm. On Tuesdays I am available after 5pm, Thursdays I am available all day after 2pm. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. My dog at home has a shock collar and she is allowed outside freely within a certain radius of the waypoint object. I let her out from 5mins-1hour depending on the weather. I follow her certain eating times by opening or closing her food bowl. She is given the attention and love she needs. She may run out of the radius of her shock and come but dirty so washing her with the correct materials is important for their hygiene.
“Dom did such a great job with my crew...even when my cat brought in a surprise rabbit! All of my animals adored her and had a great time. Communication and response time was fantastic. Will definitely rehire for future sitting needs”

If not too hot, we would take walks, but also being cautious of their paws on hot pavement and overheating!

“As always, Autumn was amazing with our animals. She leaves our house just as we left it, clean and with our animals feeling loved and well taken care of. She is a great communicator, and we never worry when we book her for week long vaca or long weekend stays. Will always highly recommend!”

About: I have personally grew up with dogs and find myself very passionate about care and respect for animals! My years of internships experience at a rescue center has allowed me to learn rehab skills, spread owner-responsibility awareness and tips, and have hands-on field work with all different kinds of animals, especially dogs, and cater to all their specialized needs! I additionally have fostered a couple of dogs from my local shelter! We call them staycations. This is where, as fosters, we take a dog from out of the shelter for maybe a week or so to give them some fresh air and some at-home loving! All dogs I have fostered have been happily adopted by their forever-owners! I currently work a part time job so I evidently have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your dogs! With that being said, I don’t have a set schedule that I usually work but I only work 2-3 days a week. During the week, afternoons are best for me, and weekends I have full availability if I’m not working! Please inquire to get more details about my schedule! :) I have interned at a animal care and control center so I find myself pretty well and familiar with all kinds of personalities dogs may have! I am very attentive and well follow any set instructions given for the best care of your pup!

Last I would like to say that I’m very energetic so if your pet likes walks or runs I’m your guy. I’m currently working and going to school so anytime after 5pm will work for me. If you need me earlier usually weekends I can do early mornings. I have a fenced in side yard and a screened back porch. Just over the fence is some grass and some large bushes that act as a natural wall.

We used Jacqueline for an overnight stay with our dog and she was great! Jacqueline was prompt to respond to all communication leading up to the stay. Our house was left in great shape, and Duke seemed super happy when we returned home. We look forward to booking Jacqueline again!!

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 Simpson 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 Simpson 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.
Tip: 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 Simpson 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.
