“She stayed in touch with many pics. Our 3 dogs are in great spirits. She even washed the bedding from our spare room. The one she used while dog sitting. We will try to use her again, granted schedules match.”
“Victoria is absolutely fabulous! My dogs adore her! She is excellent at communication and sending bunches of photos. She was also flexible with my schedule when I had to change the reservation at the last minute. I highly recommend Victoria!”
“Wow, what an amazing experience my pets had with Natalie! My dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately. She was very communicative, played with them and even helped with training the puppy. She did an awesome job watching over the house. When we got home the house was clean and tidy. It was a relief to find someone so trustworthy. We will reach out to Natalie any time we go out of town and, fingers crossed, hire her for dog training. 10/10 experience and an even better person!”
About: I’ve been petsitting/housesitting for just over 6 years. I’ve worked with rescue dogs with have trauma, dogs with epilepsy, dogs with anxiety, dogs that need high energy output, as well as senior dogs. I’ve administered medications in a timely manner and have coordinated care with many owners. I will diligently work for you and your pups! I’m a home nail tech, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m petsitting, I’m able to build my days around care if need be. I’m quick to learn the routine of the pets, and I do my best to fit within it so the pets can have the most comfort.
“Jessica was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us while we were away! It was our first time using Rover and we were incredibly pleased with our experience. Jessica was very friendly and sweet with our very nervous dog when we did our meet and greet prior to our trip. Throughout our time away she updated us with pictures and progress on how Nala was doing. Clearly she is wonderful with animals because our nervous pup seemed to be comfortable with her in no time at all. We would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter/house sitter while they are away, and will definitely book her again in the future!”

He had activities with Grace every day including going to the park and playing with her dogs, he was a happy camper when I was back and Grace provided me pictures and videos while I was away.”
“This was our second time having Kari pet/house sit for us. I highly recommend Kari! We have a very anxious pup and she does so great with him. She sends pictures and updates and takes wonderful care of the house. If you need a pet sitter, Kari is amazing! We will definitely continue to use her for our future vacations.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and needs. My experience ranges from helping care for newborn puppies and litters all the way through providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I’m comfortable with medication administration, feeding routines, walks and exercise, basic grooming, puppy care, senior care, and keeping a close eye on changes in behavior or health. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, needs a little extra patience, or has a more involved care routine, I’m confident providing dependable and compassionate care. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m currently in the process of going from bartender to EMT, so my schedule is a little up in the air right now, but if I can accommodate your request I absolutely will with full transparency! Unfortunately I will not be able to care for animals in my residence due to a very territorial but adorable dog that I acquired! She means well but prefers her house she doesn’t pay for to herself!

“I went out of town labor day weekend leaving my two dog s at home instead of putting them in lodging. This is the first time I had Stephanie stay at my house with my dogs. Everything went very well. They were treated well and had multiple outings to the dog park without incident and the house was clean when I returned. I will definitely hire Stephanie again to care for my dogs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Hill
We feel so fortunate to have found Ashley to take care of Leo, our bernedoodle, 7 months old. Ashely is a true dog person with a long history of compassionate, dedicated, and professional care for dogs, including rehabilitating dogs who've been traumatized. What a big heart she has, and rare and special skills. Our Leo stayed with her for 12 days when we travelled. He had a great time playing with Ashley's other dogs and cared for by Ashley's family--a "team effort," as she puts it. Amazingly Leo came home with better puppy manners. He learned good things at Ashley's house! We are really grateful to Ashley for taking such great care of Leo. He clearly had a wonderful doggie time.
Caroline cared for our Golden retriever and Australian shepherd as well as our home for 18 days. She was in contact with us almost daily sending welcome pictures and updates. I felt our pups were well taken care of. She went above and beyond by picking up our mail from the post office for us and scooping poop in the yard. I would feel comfortable having her in our home again and would recommend her to others.
We would definitely be rebooking with Saadiyah and would recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter for your pets. She kept us updated throughout the whole time and followed instructions and loved on our pets while we were away. She is reliable and kept us updated on how things are going and also sent pics and videos of our pets. Thank you so much Saadiyah, Vader and Summer can’t wait to see you again😊
We did 12 stay in home sitting with Amy for my fur baby and she was the best we could ever asked for! We were very hesitant to leave our dog behind but we had no choice Amy was so thoughtful and sweet to our dog she was constantly giving us updates with photos and making my dog very comfortable she would take her to the park and explore together!! highly recommend her for any situation!!!! 🤎
Ariana continues to be our go-to pet sitter, and I can't recommend her enough. She takes amazing care of our dogs, keeps us updated with messages and photos, and gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We always come home to happy pups and a well-cared-for home. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy, Ariana is absolutely the one to book!
If we could give 10 stars, we would! Ashlee went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She had great communication, sent tons of pictures and took exceptional care of both our pup and home. On top of that, she was more than willing to extend her stay due to travel complications. We will be repeat customers and are so happy we found 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 South Hill 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 South Hill 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 South Hill 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.
