“Julianna did a great job watching our dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pet was well cared for with great communication.. I can tell my dog misses her already.”
“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.”
“Nick took care of our home and our dogs with very short notice. He took great care of everything. I would definitely recommend and will be happy to have him look after everything again.”
“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 😊”
“Dakota did an outstanding job taking care of our dogs at our home. He was incredibly attentive, making sure our pets were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. It was clear that he genuinely cares for animals, as he went above and beyond to keep them happy and healthy. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her capable hands. We highly recommend Dakota for anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care!”
“This is the second time Dawsen has watched our pets and she has absolutely transformed my pets. My usually nervous dog just absolutely adores her. She has made my dog so comfortable in her home as well as in mine, I never have anything to worry about. Even when I am forced to get a different sitter (which I hate to do) my dog behaves so much better because of how Dawsen treats her.”
“We love Brooke! We have booked her multiple times and she is always so great. We had some travel delays and she was willing to stay extra time to account for our delays. She always takes such good care of our pets and they also love her!”
“Brooke did well with my sweet three. We were gone for 3 nights my dogs seemed to like her in the short time we had to find a sitter. Usually it takes one of my dogs awhile to warm up to a new face. Things looked great when we got home. Received a few pics which is always nice to get.”
“No word can explain how wonderful she is. She’s very kind very hard worker. She is perfect and beautiful. I’m so grateful that I have found her. I trust her with my everything. I’m blessed to know her.”
About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.
“She’s marvelous she’s awesome. She’s honest she’s on time. She’s perfect very kind person just beyond my belief. God is good that he sent such a wonderful person to me thank you thank you (Rover) thank you God thank you everyone and thank you Miss Haley.”
“Brianna was wonderful with our three little dogs while we were on vacation. She sent tons of sweet pictures and kept us updated every step of the way. She was a great houseguest, and left the house nice and clean. We will definitely be booking her again for our next vacation! ☺️”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14. I have experience with overnight pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’ve also had dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work another job, so evenings and weekends work best for me. I’m happy to work around your schedule and find a time that works well for both of us. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise. I’ll always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets.
About: Being in my mid twenties I find myself looking for someone I can give my attention and affection to! I’ve relied on dogs to give me that emotional energy because they are so calming and innocent. I went to college and now work a corporate job! I have tons of free time so on my off days I work at Trader Joe’s and volunteer at the children’s hospital! I’m really outgoing and active! My corporate job has a unique schedule! I work Monday- Wednesday in office and off Thursday- Saturday and remote on Sunday! I also wake up at 5am and have multiple breaks during my day. I live by the Paseo which gives me the opportunity to be able to walk with dogs freely and in a space that is comfortable for them! As well I’m comfortable driving anywhere to cater for them!
About: I grew up on a small farm in Oklahoma, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have a little 10-pound poodle named Duke. He’s super friendly, well-behaved, and loves being around other animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched pets for family and friends, everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I truly enjoy making animals feel comfortable and cared for. Now that I’m offering my services on Rover, I’m excited to meet even more furry friends (and their humans!). Duke and I are looking forward to making new connections. Connect with me for a meet and greet. I'm a lifelong animal lover and dependable sitter based in Oklahoma City. Whether it's snuggles on the couch, long walks, or keeping your pet's routine just right, I’m here to help you travel worry free. I have a very flexible hybrid work schedule, and my office is only a mile from home. This allows me to easily stop by during lunch or whenever your pet needs extra care and attention. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages. Friends and family know me as the “go-to pet aunt,” and now I’m excited to offer that same care to your furry family members. I’m responsible, respectful of your home, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going. I love taking photos by the way. Let’s connect! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and learn how I can provide the best care for them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like my own and do my best to keep their routine consistent, calm, and stress free. I keep a close eye on all pets in my care, especially during walks or playtime, and I’m mindful of their behavior and energy levels. Duke is gentle and well behaved, so he helps create a peaceful environment for visiting pets. I also take the responsibility of caring for your home seriously. If I’m house sitting, you can expect clear communication, updates, and total respect for your space.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spencer
She is by far the most attentive and truly cares for your pets and home. She kept us updated via photos and videos of my fur babies. She added stories to the photos to assure me they are happy and healthy. Poppy just got on thyroid medicine and had no issues providing medicine to her. Will definitely be using Liam again.
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.
Tip: 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.
