“If I could give Bethany more than 5 stars, I would!! This was the first time using Rover and also the first time leaving my dogs with someone that I had just met. Bethany made it very easy for us to be away for the weekend without worrying about my fur babies. She constantly kept us up to date on how they were doing. There was no doubt that my dogs had fun with her, and I'm pretty sure they were missing her when we showed up and she wasn't there!! I will definitely have her watch them again in the future😊”
“First time leaving my dog alone but Leilani made me not worry about it and focus on my work instead. She sends pictures and feedback about the pet(s) and cares for them as her own, you can tell.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, especially high-energy breeds like huskies, so I’m skilled in providing exercise, training, and dealing with any special personality quirks. I’m comfortable meeting each dog’s unique requirements. My fully fenced yard offers space for play, and my cozy tiny house is a perfect spot for rest and cuddles. I spend most of my time outdoors, so your pup will enjoy hikes, walks, and plenty of attention. If your dog prefers the comfort of a cozy house, they are welcome inside on the dog beds or couch at anytime. My husband works from home, so your pup will never be left alone. We’re here to give each dog a safe, fun, and loving experience! My flexible schedule allows me to provide full-time care and attention to your pup. Between me and my husband, who works from home, there’s always someone here to keep your dog company—whether they’re napping inside or playing outside. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With a fully fenced yard and a cozy tiny home, they’ll have safe spaces to play and relax. I closely supervise outdoor time and take many indoor breaks, so there’s always someone here to keep an eye on your pup. My goal is to create a warm, secure environment that feels just like home. *We do live in a tiny house with no rooms to separate if needed, so for the safety of our pups and yours, we ask that there are no territorial or aggressive dogs boarded here overnight.
“Veronica was excellent! Super thankful she was able to watch our Charlie and house sit for us for a week. She was very responsive and handled everything really well. Charlie loved her! Will definitely book again.”
About: Ive grown up with many different pets and now I live on a little hobby farm so I've grown to love and care for animals. I have pet and house sat for many people in my church community, friends, and for family. I can also give medications if needed! I'd love to take care of your pet while youre away! I have a part time job and my schedule is normally 830am to 330pm on weekdays and on weekends could be from 830am to 3pm, 3 to 9pm, or on Sundays 1 to 7. Mondays to Wednesdays from 4 to 9 pm I have college classes. Even tho it seems busy I still have plenty of time to love of animals! I can do any medications if needed. I can take them to appointments if necessary. And I can take them on plenty of walks. I can also take care of house plants or gardens you may have.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats, all rescues. I have also rescued numerous animals and nursed them back to health. I work from home, so you don’t have to worry about your pet getting lonely! I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I am able to administer medication orally, topically, and via injection. I look forward to taking care of your pet(s) as if they were my own as you enjoy your vacation! I work from home and have plenty of time to drop in to feed your pet, administer any medication they may need, as well as play with them to work out their energy! I treat every pet like they’re my own when pet sitting. I can either stop in real quick if that’s what you and your pet are most comfortable with, or stay longer to keep them a bit of company.
“This is the 2nd time Audra has watched our dogs in our home. The dogs love having her here and it’s a relief that someone is home with them while we are away! We will definitely be asking Audra to house/pet sit again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly love them both. 🐶🐱 I treat every pet like family and I’m the type of sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with them — not just “checking in.” I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to routines, and I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra love and reassurance. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I work remotely and I’m home often throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of attention. I’m able to be flexible during the week and weekends, and I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while sticking closely to their normal routine.
“Laura’s care of Paden and Rika was outstanding! They were happy and relaxed when we arrived last night. She communicated with us throughout our trip to assure all was well here at home including daily photos! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a caretaker for their pets and home.”
“This is the second time Maddie has stayed at our home and watched our energetic puppy. She stayed in touch with us and even sent us a photo. She is professional, kind, and loves our dog. She will be here a few more times this year.”
About: I know that leaving your pet in someone else's care is a big deal — that's why I treat every visit like I'm looking after my own. I bring over two decades of experience being dependable and detail-oriented (my background is in customer service and management), so you can count on me to follow your instructions exactly, show up on time, and communicate clearly throughout. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, potty breaks, or just extra cuddle time, I'll keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible while you're away. I send photo updates every visit so you can see for yourself that everything's going smoothly. Between a full-time job and a quiet household of just me, I have reliable evenings (especially weekends!) free for visits, with your pet getting my full attention. I am employed full time, Monday through Friday 8-5, but no kids or pets of my own currently. I am free after 5pm on weeknights to make sure your pet gets a much need potty break, a delicious meal, and attention filled cuddles. Being a little older means my weekends are much tamer than they used to be - I'm happy to fill them with care for your pup! The comfort of your pet is very important to me. I don't board or care for pets in my own home — I'd much rather they stay in the environment they know best, surrounded by their own smells, sounds, and routine. Less stress for them, and less disruption for you. While I'm in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own — doors locked, alarms set, mail brought in, and everything left exactly as I found it. You can trust that your pet and your space are both in good hands.
“We recently went out of the country for 10 days and needed someone trustworthy to care for our dog, Kai. This was our first time using Rover, and trusting Rebecca with Kai was one of the best decisions we made! From the very beginning, Rebecca was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kai looked so happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. When we returned, Kai was calm, well-cared for, and his usual playful self—Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure he was loved and comfortable while we were away. If you’re looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog sitter, Rebecca is the one. She made our first Rover experience so easy, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with 2 cats and 3 dogs and loved and cared for them for years. I am a huge animal lover as well and would love to help someone out in any way possible!! I’m working part time and am interested in making some extra money on the side plus I love animals so it’ll be a win-win! I have a decently sized home and a very safe neighborhood to walk any dogs I have to care for! I will frequently walk them and will make sure all their needs are always met!
About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I grew up in a home where we always had both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As an adult, I became interested in positive reinforcement training and have followed Zack George’s training methods with my own dog. I value building trust, encouraging good behavior through patience and consistency, and creating a calm, positive environment. My goal is to be as much of a companion for pets as they are for us. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to make them feel safe and relaxed, I will treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work in education, which allows me to be available before school, during my lunch break, and after school to check in on pets, take them for walks, feed them, or spend time with them. On weekends, I enjoy having more flexibility to dedicate extra time to getting to know each pet, keeping them company, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I strive to provide consistent, reliable care while giving each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for your pet. Being away from their owner can already create some anxiety, so I believe it’s important to keep them in the comfort of their familiar environment whenever possible. Before you leave, I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I work closely with each owner to maintain as much consistency as possible, helping pets feel safe, secure, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide plenty of companionship, attention, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, farm animals and reptiles. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care has always been a part of my everyday life! I own a dog, two cats, a snake, bearded dragon, leopard gecko, and a betta fish, and that’s after I rehomed 5 animals lol. Caring for so many different animals has made taking care of pets a natural part of my daily routine. 🐾💕 I do not have a fenced-in backyard, so I wouldn’t have a private area to let your dog out, but we can always go somewhere public or use your yard if your home offers one. I also have a crate available if needed! I care for every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while sticking to their normal routines.
About: I have taken care of animals in many forms for over 20 years. I have an acre of fenced-in yard with two dogs that are dog friendly, up to date on shots, and either spayed or neutered. ~ Your fur baby will enjoy their time playing with my dogs, or with me staying at your home and treating your home and your fur baby as one of my own. ~PSI Member and working on basic First Aid and Emergency Care for Animals. ~Willing to provide medications and injections to those babies in need. I work from home so your pet will get any amount of attention it needs. My husband is also a Rover approved sitter, so your fur baby will have someone with them at all times, for those rare times I need to run an errand. If I come to your home your pet will receive the same care and respect as work allows for flexibility to be there with them, giving them full attention. I have an acre fenced yard with outside toys as well as a drinking fountain and plenty of room inside for them to take naps and stay cool and dry on rainy days. We usually go out every 2-4 hours for potty breaks and play time.
About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals!

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.
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 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.
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.
