“Anyu was just the sweetest! The doggos love her! I’m so grateful to be at peace while out of town and knowing they are being well taken care of. Definitely using her again.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! With over 27 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, from exotic birds and reptiles to dogs, cats, and small furry companions, I have a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs. I do work full-time, but I’m happy to work around my schedule to care for your babies! With at least a day’s notice, I can usually make arrangements and am flexible when it comes to finding a time that works best for everyone. 😊 When I’m not at work, I come home to my own little zoo—so caring for animals is definitely my thing! 😂🐾 I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, plenty of cuddles, and lots of love. Whether your pup needs a walk, company while you’re away, or they just need some extra TLC, I’d love to help. Pet cuddles are the best—and I’m pretty lucky that I get to make them part of my day! ❤️🐶🐱 I work full-time, but I still have plenty of flexibility to help with walks and potty breaks during the day. I’m available to stop by while you’re at work to give your pup some exercise, attention, and a chance to do their business. 🐾 I’m also available for occasional pet sitting in your home when my schedule allows. I would need to know about a week in advance. Just communicate with me your needs and I'm sure we can make it work! I know how much peace of mind it can give you to have someone reliable caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home! I will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and supervised during walks, potty breaks, and visits. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. I’ll also respect your home and your pet’s space, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you leave for their care. 🐾❤️
About: What sets me apart is my rigorous attention to detail and a background in health and wellness. I understand that your pet’s health isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about monitoring their well-being, strictly adhering to dietary or medication requirements, and ensuring a safe, clean environment. Whether it's managing complex care instructions or simply keeping a keen eye on their health and comfort, I bring a level of professionalism and vigilance that ensures your peace of mind while you are away. I also provide consistent photo/text updates so you have peace of mind while being away from your pets. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. This means I can offer your pet more companionship, frequent check-ins, and a stable routine that minimizes stress while you're away. Because my time is dedicated to being home-based, I can ensure your pet receives the extra playtime, consistent feeding times, and reliable care they deserve, giving you total peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, I am highly experienced in safely managing outdoor time using a leash to ensure your pet gets the necessary exercise and potty breaks in a secure, controlled manner. I am also comfortable with crating and strictly following your established house rules to maintain your pet's comfort and safety. Furthermore, I am completely flexible and happy to provide pet-sitting services directly in your home, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment, which is often the most stress-free experience for them. I do not have any animals currently of my own.
About: I love working and meeting new dogs. Being able to provide one-on-one time with your fur baby is important to me and I look forward to forming new bonds. I have time throughout the day and evening for drop ins and walks. Ensuring your pet has attention and is loved is the number one priority for all visits. When caring for a pet in a client’s home I like to ensure the pet has an enjoyable time. I am flexible to do walks and rubs to keep your pooch smiling.
About: Hi there! My name is Madison, and I’ve been caring for pets for years. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just want a little extra love and patience, I truly enjoy every moment I get to spend with animals. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with all kinds of pets, personalities, and routines. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing lots of affection. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a calm companion, or someone to keep their routine consistent while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping them comfortable and cared for every step of the way. It’s always such a joy getting to know new animals and their unique personalities. I hope you’ll give me the chance to spend time with yours and make their days a little brighter while you’re away! I’m a teacher, so I’m only away for part of the day and love having the company of pets. Since my schedule allows me to be home alot, your pets will get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I When caring for pets—whether in my home or in a client’s home—I always focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. If pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel right at home from the start. I provide a cozy, safe space with plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and rest. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule closely and make sure they get the right balance of exercise and downtime. I also love spending time outdoors when possible, so pets can enjoy fresh air and play in a safe, secure area. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything consistent with what they’re used to—feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I know how comforting familiar surroundings are, so I give them all the love and attention they need while respecting your space and your pet’s habits. No matter where I care for them, I always make sure each pet gets personal attention, plenty of affection, and lots of communication with you so you know how they’re doing. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

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 Sligo 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 Sligo 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 Sligo 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.
