“This was our first time with a dog sitter in a long time. We have 3 very active dogs. One dog is a rescue who takes awhile to become friends with strangers. Kirsten wasn’t a stranger very long. He was stilling in here lap within a few minutes. We will definitely utilize her services again.”
“Christina was absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough. She made our sweet, old pup feel so relaxed and comfortable. We had zero worries having Christina housesit and when we are back in the area, we will definitely be reaching out to Christina again!”
“Marg was great with my two dogs while we were out of town for a weekend with family. She was communicative and sent me a few photos and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell the boys felt comfortable with her! Thanks again, Marg.”
“Patty was very flexible with us when we needed her to come a little earlier. I was relieved to know that someone was able to stay with my Oswald while we celebrated my sister-in-law's wedding. I appreciate that she did a meet and greet the day before just to get important details and to get Oswald used to her before she took over his care for the day.”
“Had a great experience with Dave watching my senior pup while I was on a work trip. He was very clear on his schedule and the attention he'd give my dog. He sent frequent updates and sent a bunch of pictures. Everything went great and I came home to a happy dog.”
“Dropping our dogs off at Jennifer’s felt like leaving them with friends rather than a kennel. Our boys seemed happy, relaxed and comfortable. In the past at other overnight places, when we arrive to pick them up, our dogs are usually choking themselves trying to get out the door and to our car. They were in no rush to leave this time. We also appreciated the text updates with pictures.”
“Abbie was WONDERFUL! I needed a sitter at the last moment due to a work trip and she made me feel so at ease leaving Otis with a new person. She was thorough on communication and sent the best photos of my boy. Can not wait to use her again in the future!”
About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 22-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.
“Vesta took great care of our and cats at our home. She sent photos of all of them and kept us updated when she arrived and left. It was awesome that she came to meet them before the booking so we knew they’d be comfortable with her. Pepperoni thanks you for the couch snuggles, Vesta!”
“Sara was wonderful with our Watson. We came home to a better behaved pup than when we left. We had to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It was wonderful not to have to worry about our pup too since Sara takes such good care of him. Thank you Sara!”
“Excellent. She consistently sent photos of the pets to confirm that all was well and happy in the house. Texted and communicated with questions if she had any doubts about feedings and walks and anything else. Couldn't have asked for better care. Two happy pets were there awaiting my return.”
“Ashley was a perfect fit for us. She was able to come meet our stranger adverse dog before the stay. She was able to stay with our dog while we were away and kept us informed, with pictures. She was respectful of our space, our dog, and us. We look forward to using her again.”

Christina was a pleasure to work with. Our pup had a great staycation with Christina. She provided daily updates with pics, provided Aspen with a lot of exercise, walks and hikes. We came home to our home just as we left it. We would definitely use Christina again in the future.

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 Solon 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 Solon 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 Solon 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.
