“Farah was amazing with my 3 big dogs. She was actually able to walk them every day! They have big personalities but she did a great job keeping them calm. She also provided tons of updates so I always knew they were doing ok.”
“Geneva looked after my cat Crossaint for a full three weeks, staying with her at my home. Never once during the three weeks did I feel like I needed to check in with Geneva or worry about Croissiant! Geneva is FANTASTIC! Super communicative, very reliable and extremely considerate of your needs. Book Geneva without any hesitation - she is AMAZING!”
“Natalia was amazing with Stoops! I got home and he was relaxed and not anxious. Natalia did such a good job with keeping his routine and got along very well with Stoops. Would absolutely recommend for long stays.”
About: I’ve always been intrigued with working with animals. In 6th grade, I joined this club called S.O. S. (save our strays) since then, I was infatuated with helping animals around the community. For as long as I remember, we’ve always fostered pets growing up and as I get older I realize the importance of having time and attention for these furr babies. I have a 3 year old german shepherd mix and her name is paisley! she is the sweetest girl I can ask for 🫶🏻 I am always learning more about pets everyday! I am primarily available for the weekends. during the week, I am working at my full time job. I am available during the week after 6pm and open availability for the weekends. I am huge in making sure the pet feels comfortable. Everyone takes care of their pets differently so I would start off with whatever the pet parents ask to do. I will keep constant communication with pet parents if they like and assure that their pets are being taken care of.
“Diamond was punctual, communicative, friendly, and caring with our dogs. Everything was left clean, and they seemed to be very happy with her. We highly recommend her service. She she lots of pictures and seemed to love them like her own!”
“Tanita did a great job watching my pets (large dog and a cat) while we were out. The house was in even better shape after she and her daughter left. Really appreciate the care she took, including walking our dog in the hot summer heat.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and love taking care of them! I would be happy to take your dogs on as many walks as their little hearts desire, or even on a run if you have a particularly active dog (and if the weather is appropriate)! I can also play with them, check in on them, etc. if needed. My schedule is flexible because I’m a graduate student as well! I’m currently a graduate student and have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a morning person and can definitely take pets on walks/check in on them in the early morning! While I am not able to host pets at my own place, I am happy to watch dogs and cats at their homes! I can play indoors/outdoors with them, pet them, and give them some love. I like to know their favorite toys, walking routes, etc. to let them enjoy their normal patterns as they’re getting to know me as well
“Jairo took great care of my girls and my home. He was a great communicator, sent picture updates, took them on lots of fun walks and made sure they were happy and tucked in at night. It was very nice coming home to happy dogs and and a clean home, and made my trip much more enjoyable having peace of mind with regular updates.”
About: I’m a huge dog lover and have two small dogs of my own, so I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else! I’ve also pet sat for friends and family over the years and genuinely love getting to know each dog and their personality. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I’m happy to make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them just like I would my own! I go on several walks throughout the day and would love to have a pup join me! As a college student, my schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m home often and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and company they need. I care for every pet with the same attention and love I give my own dogs. I’m very attentive to their needs and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and exercise throughout the day and have my own fenced yard. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable, whether that means lots of walks and playtime or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me!
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sama! My husband and I loved working with her, and from the very beginning we felt completely confident in the care she provided for our dogs. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also came and visited twice beforehand to get to know our pups, our home, and us. It was great. Our dogs were clearly well taken care of and spoiled with all the love and attention they received, which we love! We’re pretty sure they got more (and longer!) walks with her than they normally do when we’re home. It’s such a comfort to know they were happy, safe, and having fun. We couldn’t be more grateful for her excellent care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Emi. I grew up in a home full of animals—my dad is a huge animal lover, so we always had dogs and cats in our house. Being surrounded by so many animals is probably why I developed such a deep love for them myself. I have a 5-year-old Samoyed named Noah, and we would absolutely love the chance to meet your baby and become friends 😊 Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I’d be happy to connect and will respond as soon as I can! I work Monday through Friday, 9–5, but since my position is fully remote, I have plenty of flexibility to give your baby the attention and care they need throughout the day. I live in an apartment located in a safe, walkable neighborhood, so your baby will get plenty of fresh air and nice strolls. I also have a sweet “little polar bear” of my own — my 5-year-old Samoyed — and we’ll make sure your baby feels loved and well-companioned the entire time 💕
“Stephanie took great care of my cats while I was away. She was able to follow all instructions I left about picking up and dropping off the keys and fob, and gave me plenty of daily updates. I’d greatly recommend her services!”
“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this pet sitting service was outstanding. My pets, who are my little treasures, were cared perfectly. The house was also spotless when I returned, exactly as I left it. I will absolutely be booking her as my pet sitter from now on!”
“Bailey is amazing! I booked her for a trip I received short notice on - she was willing to meet me prior to introduce her to my dog. She was very communicative and my dog loved her! Will book again!”
“My two girls loved Victoria!!! Every day she took them on walks, and gave them their every daily essentials. She would send us pictures numerous times during the day with her daily interactions that made us feel reassured that they were being well taken care of. She’s a sweet and nurturing person that you know that your fur babies are being well taken care of. The house was very clean and the girls were well picked up after.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southside Place
Lillian was a delight to work with and she brought both professionalism and compassion and care to taking care of Dixie (dog) and Birdie (cat). She was really good about providing updates and pictures, which is important to me, and she showed concern and determination when Birdie decided to hide from her for hours. She was determined to find her and did, even knowing that she was just pulling her usual antics and would turn up. Really felt secure being home and knowing they were in great hands!
Jennifer took care of my two cats and one dog for 6 days. Our dog is very shy and needs to warm up to people but she won him over very quickly. She walked him as requested and kept everyone fed and happy. She also kept the house tidy upon my return. I recommend her and will use her again in the future.
Melissa is absolutely fantastic. She took great care of our baby and communicated thoroughly. She also asked additional questions throughout her stay, which I really appreciate. I feel like there are always things that one forgets to address in advance and it gives me the feeling that she is really paying attention and cares about our little guy. Sent regular pics and updates. So glad we found a reliable new friend for Mowgli 💖 We will definitely be booking Melissa again.
Baysia gave excellent care to my cat and was able to step in at the last minute when I had to go out of town for the week. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and was very communicative, sending pictures and videos everyday. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets.
Shirav took care of my cat for a week, and I really loved her help! She made an effort to find the right approach to my cat, and she absolutely succeeded. I’m sure my cat was happy while I was away. She also sent me lots of photos and videos, which was very reassuring and helpful. I would definitely recommend Shirav as a cat sitter, and I’ll definitely book her again in the future!
Angelica was a dream sitter. She texted every day with updates, some days multiple times, just to set our minds and hearts at ease. We have two dogs with disparate temperaments and needs and she really nailed it with both of them -- keeping our high-energy 1-year-old blue heeler-mix on the move while letting our skittish pug-mix warm up slooowly. In the past I've had sitters who never made any connection or progress with our pug-mix during a 10 day stay away and I was really grateful to Angelica for being patient while still building a bond (not just giving up/being passive). We came home to our house just as we left it and she even picked up some. We are really grateful for her and would absolutely book her again.

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 Southside Place 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 Southside Place 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 Southside Place 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!

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.
