“Lilian was SO amazing!! I have four cats and two dogs (one of whom requires extra care) and I couldn’t have found a better housesitter to care for them all. She is experienced, well-trained, certified, incredibly well-qualified, and communicative. She sent pictures and regular updates, daily blurbs, and even earned my protective pup’s trust (even after he rather rudely wouldn’t let her in initially). I cannot recommend her enough! 😄”
“Brooke is great! Good communication and my two dogs and cat really like her. Knowing she is watching over things while I’m out of town is such a load off my mind!”
“Marcus was fantastic. His communication is stellar and he answered all my questions and eased my nerves as this was my first time using Rover. He came over and met my dogs beforehand and I immediately felt comfortable and confident having him in my home taking care of my 3 dogs. My dogs were well taken care of by Marcus and I look forward to knowing I have a great person to watch them. I received sweet pictures and an update on how each one did during their time together. A huge thank you to Marcus.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Thanks for taking care of FiFi! You did a great job keeping us posted with updated pictures etc.., in addition staking out mail/papers in and keeping the house as we left it!! I would recommend and use Refi again. Thank you”
“Misty was wonderful! She was available for my last minute request and Luna seemed to love her. She followed all my directions and even cleaned up a little:) Misty was very outgoing and I 100% will use her in the future”
“Greg is an absolute gem! He recently looked after our two Boston Terriers in our home for a full week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we returned, it was clear how well-cared-for and content our dogs were. Greg kept them happy and engaged throughout the week with great daily walks, structured training, and plenty of quality one-on-one attention. Our pups have been calm, happy, and wonderfully well-behaved since we got back—a true testament to the great environment and routine Greg maintained. Leaving your pets at home can be stressful, but Greg gave us complete peace of mind. We are so grateful for his care and dedication, and we will definitely be booking him again on Rover in the future. Highly recommended!”
About: I started caring for animals when I got my first stray animal when I was 5 and the love never stopped. I currently have my own dog who is the biggest couch potato on the planet but really wants some dog friends to play with. I work a 9-5 and can walk dogs on my lunch break, before or after work, and also board any night of the week. If your dog is here they’ll be treated like part of the family. Animals here sleep in the bed, lay on whatever furniture they want, and get as much as play time as they possibly could want. I can also administer medication if needed, give bath and nail trims, or any other service you may want or need.
“Vincent did a wonderful job with my two cats. They are very skittish with strangers, but it was clear when I got home that they were happy and comfortable under Vincent's care. They are usually quite moody when we get back from a long trip away, but this time they were in good spirits which made the transition back home easier for all of us. I definitely recommend him and will use his services again! Thank you, Vincent! :)”
“Everything went very smoothly! Jamie and Patrick are open to communication and always available when we checked in. Dogs got all the medications and walks. House was left in great condition! We will be booking them again in the future!”
“Marty was super communicative with lots of photos and updates of my dude, which is so important to anxious dog parents! He is super positive and accommodating - he even shoveled my sidewalk after a snowfall! And he was flexible when I had unexpected travel delays to make sure my dog wasn’t left alone! Really happy to have found Marty!”
“Erin is amazing. She continually provided updates about the dogs and shared any concerns with us immediately. Our non-cuddler seemed to really enjoy getting her attention. The house was also so well maintained while we were away. We will be rebooking!”
“This was our first time using Rover- we found August and instantly liked him and so did our pets! The house was left spotless and most important our big boy Whiskey was well cared for!! We will definitely book August for future house sitting needs!!”
“Josie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my home. The dogs were very happy and the house looked great. I would definitely have her back again. Thank you!”
About: I've been doing pet care for many years over on other services such as Trusted Housesitters, as well as private animal care for friends, family, and other private sources. I'm very active and very much enjoy taking larger dogs for long walks, or having quiet, calming time with nervous cats, and everything in between. I'm happy to accommodate all sorts of preferred sorts of care and I'm happy to specify those to your particular needs! I'm currently working a remote job, so I have no physical obligations in terms of having to be anywhere, so I can pretty easily accommodate any types of schedule that your animal prefers! I live in a very safe, quiet neighborhood which boasts a really beautiful dog park, and have a patio for animals to spend outside time if they desire, and a fantastic neighborhood for walking dogs. In your home if you wish, I am happy to do any tasks to make your animal as comfortable as possible!
About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me so much joy. I’ve had the honor of caring for all kinds of pets, including cats and dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful pups full of energy to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet for who they are. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. ❤️ I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I want every pet I watch to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their individual needs, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is not only to take care of your pet, but to make sure they have a happy, comfortable experience while they’re with me. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want someone to give mine. 🐾💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my family is my biggest priority, but I also wanted to find a way to continue contributing while doing something that genuinely brings me joy. Pet care has been the perfect fit for my life because it allows me to be present for my family while also opening my home and heart to caring for other people’s beloved pets. For me, Rover isn’t just a way to earn extra income—it’s a way to contribute, connect with animals, and do something I genuinely love while being there for my family. 🐾❤️ Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of their own home, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our family while they’re here. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats who are comfortable around other pets. I do not have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and handled safely with leashes. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention.

Tatiana was an absolute delight and best sitter for my big baby!! She was efficient, cleanly, and so so sweet to Castle. He is a mastiff with special food, potty, and slobber instructions, and especially needs someone around with him, and Tatiana went above and beyond. I couldn’t be more thankful for a perfect sitter that kept in contact, followed all instructions to the tea, and treated my doggo as her own. Thank you again Tatiana, we appreciate all that you do!
Regina did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. I received daily updates with pictures of the cats. She was on top of everthing that needed to be done. One of my cats need medication 3 times a day. Regina didn't miss a beat. She adminstered the pill with no problem. She did have a difficulty on one occasion. I told here if she misses one medication the world would not end. It meant a lot to me that she let me know. Overall Regina did an amazing job. I would absolutely provide a good review should someone show interest in having Regina pet sit.
Regi did an amazing job taking care of our boys for 5 days while we were out of town. She gave our elderly diabetic cat his insulin shots and was attentive to his meal schedule to make sure he was eating enough for his medicine. She was also great with feeding our picky Shih Tzu pup. Regi had excellent and frequent communication and asked us questions if anything seemed off with the boys. We came home to happy healthy boys and a tidy house and will definitely be having her sit for us again in the future. Thanks so much, Regi!

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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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.
