“Our normal dog sitter cancelled on us last minute, so we used Rover and reached out to Jordan. She responded quickly, and took time to come meet our pups before accepting. She was extremely professional, kept frequent communication about our dogs with pictures so we knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend using Jordan and will be using her again in the future.”
“Nicholas was amazing! He was extremely professional, and communicative. Took care of my dog like it was his own. Kept me updated when I asked, left me with no worries! Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
“We have never used Rover before and we decided to give it a try. After reading many 5 star reviews for BrieAnn, we chose to book pet sitting service with her. We are so glad we did! I have a senior dog, Bella, who takes medicine and we had her cousin dog, Buster, in town for my daughter’s graduation and I needed someone who would be loving and watchful. BriAnne took the very best care of both our dogs. We received several pics throughout the day (and night) from BriAnn that assured me that our fur babies were in great care. I will gladly rebook with BriAnne - she is clearly a pet lover 😊”
“Brittany was great with our 3 dogs! We have one dog who is very nervous around people and Brittany was able to get her to come out of her shell and help her be comfortable in her own home! This made me VERY happy and we will MOST DEFINITELY be using her again!!”
“Chandler went above and beyond with my babies! He even washed my sheets and put them back on my bed. How nice it was to come home and be able to hop in my bed and go right to sleep. He sent me updates every morning and evening accompanied with pictures and videos of him playing ball and having the best time playing. I will definitely use him again in the future!!!!”
“Diana was absolutely AMAZING! She was a star for helping us out last minute, and the dogs loved her. She sent us tons of pictures and videos the whole time she was with them. She even left us the sweetest note along with some treats and a Polaroid of each dog! 🩷”
About: I am a responsible college student who is very comfortable with animals. I had a dog growing up, as well as chickens and a rabbit. My family now owns and love 3 cats back in my home state. So it’s safe to say that I know what I’m doing when it comes to taking care of pets. I have also watched and walked my neighbors dogs for years and have lots of experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I love playing with animals and I promise that your pet will never be lonely under my care! I am currently in Oklahoma for school, so when I’m not in class or at practice for my sport I have plenty of time throughout my day to come take care of any pet. I always make sure that the pets are never lonely and that they get lots of attention. I am very good at following care instructions given to me by the owner and I will make sure that the pet receives optimal care.
“One of our best rover experiences! Ulrica was so great with our animals. She sent pictures and videos through the day and kept us in the loop all weekend. Not only did she give our dogs lots of attention and cuddles, but she played with them and even put mellow puppy videos on tv for them to watch…which they loved! I would highly recommend Ulrica to watch your animals, and we will definitely use her next time we go Out of town!”

“I waited until the very last minute to book sitter for my 3 dogs and two cats. Ansley was able to squeeze me in and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She routinely checked in and sent me pictures of how the fur babies were doing each time. I will definitely use her again!”
“Marionna did a great job with our two dogs while we were gone for the weekend! She sent pictures throughout the weekend, and the dogs seemed perfectly happy and healthy when we got home. ”

I have a genuine passion for caring for animals and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐶 Meet My Furry Family! I’m a proud dog mom to three wonderful dogs: Leo, Princess, and Aura! Leo is my American Staffordshire Pit Bull, and I’ve had him since he was just three months old in 2020. Princess is a Black Mouth Cur, and Aura is a Chow Chow/Husky mix. My dogs are a big part of my life, and being a dog owner myself has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pets like family! 🐾 My Experience I have six years of dog-sitting experience and three years of experience working at a dog daycare. My responsibilities included supervising dogs, keeping kennels clean and comfortable, removing waste, dog fur, leftover food, and water, and maintaining a safe and sanitary environment for the dogs in our care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, going on walks, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality. ☀️ My Work Schedule & Availability I work full-time Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spencer
I have a LOT of pets, including a large under-socialized guardian breed, and the way that Ezekiel was able to step in and wrangle this chaos was nothing short of a miracle. It’s been years since I’ve taken a real vacations, because leaving this zoo with someone seemed impossible. We’re talking everything from pocket pets to livestock. But Ezekiel was able handle all of the big personalities (including mine 😂) . Communication was open and consistent, and the pictures and videos really helped me know everyone was safe and happy. I am lucky to have found Ezekiel and very grateful he was willing to stay with these weirdos. And now I don’t have to wait years to go on another vacation!
Ezekiel was so so wonderful!! Communicated clearly and sent so many updates and pictures/videos for our peace of mind. We didn’t have to worry at all while we were away. Will be booking again in the future!! One of the best dog sitters we have had. Really took the time to get to know our dogs and their behaviors. So very appreciative of Ezekiel.

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 Spencer 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 Spencer 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 Spencer 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.
