“I cannot thank Hannah enough for taking such wonderful care of our dogs. They took to her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make sure our home was safe for the pets before she left, and her communication was excellent, including prompt updates and photos. She was professional, thoughtful, and reliable. Highly recommend!”

About: I love all animals! I have been pet-sitting since I was in elementary school. I currently have two tuxedo cats, one of which has to be given medicine twice a day, so I am comfortable with medication administration. I recently graduated from Physician Associate School and I am waiting for the credentialing process to be completed before starting my job! So i have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own while also respecting each client’s home, routines, and instructions. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive any approved medications, get appropriate exercise and potty breaks, and have plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep their environment clean by tidying food areas, cleaning up accidents, and maintaining litter boxes or other pet spaces as needed.

About: I have years of first hand experience taking care of dogs. I have two labs of my own, Remington (12 year old charcoal) and Gunner (3 year old yellow). Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. As the owner of two labs, my days already include feedings, walks, tummy rubs and companionship. With my background in Law Enforcement, you will have reliability, dependability, observation, safety consciousness and attention to detail, when it comes to your loved pets.

About: I socialized and walked shelter dogs for 5 years, fostered kittens for 3 years, and fostered squirrels for 2 years. From childhood, I was an animal rescuer, domestic and wildlife. I’ve had my dog 9 years and have had many wonderful cats, a rabbit and a bearded dragon. I offer care for any animal species. I have a very flexible schedule with most hours available. I can visit up to 3 times per day, and most likely stay as long as you’d like. I can also do up to 3 walks per day also. I can probably arrange to keep your dog-walking and pet-feeding schedules. I closely follow your directions, and let shy and fearful animals choose when to interact. I clean any messes asap, ensure clean water is available, and give your pet as much attention (play, pets, talking, walking, love) as they want for the time we schedule. At my home, pets may roam inside where they desire. Outside, dogs will be leashed. I can separate your and my dog if helpful. My gentle dog isn’t interested in cats. He has peacefully shared me and our home with 4 cats, 3 dogs, and and a bearded dragon.

About: I have always had dogs growing up and have loved caring for them. I have been dog sitting for a few years and have gotten positive reports from my clients and their pets!

Katie is the absolute best pet sitter! There is no one I would rather have watching my critters. I can go on vacation without worry knowing she is checking in on them. She sends lots of pictures and a detailed visit report. This is the third time she has watched my lil babies and I will continue to choose her!

Hannah is fantastic! She did a drop in for my dogs, who are notoriously picky about who they like. And I’m relatively very uneasy about who I allow to watch my dogs. Hannah’s calm but confident personality, mixed with my dog’s instant love for her, quickly squashed those worries. We will definitely be rebooking with Hannah for our future drop ins or overnight travels!

Taylor did a great job watching our pups for around a week! 3 pups multiple visits per day and she was very accommodating to their needs and schedule. Pups were very well taken care of and Taylor went above and beyond to keep them company especially during a storm. We didn’t have to worry about them while we were out of town and it was very reassuring. Taylor was very professional and provided wonderful care for our pups! Frequent updates were provided and the pups were very happy! Would recommend her to anyone that needs their pups watched!

Keely was amazing! She took such great care of our 14 year diabetic cat, checking glucose levels and giving insulin. She also fed our two outdoor kitties. She sent daily photos and updates multiple times per day and followed all directions. She went well beyond what a typical pet sitter would do. We were able to enjoy our trip and relax knowing our pets were in great hands! She truly gave us a sense of security. I hope to use Keely again in the near future and highly recommend her if you need care for your furry family members!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Southern Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
