“Becky did a fantastic job as an overnight sitter for my two cats. One of my cats is insulin dependent, and Becky was fastidious about administering his insulin via a shot every 12 hours. She sent great updates and had very thoughtful questions. I will definitely be rebooking Becky! My cats were very chill when I returned home, and my house was just as I left it.”
“Brittany is a gem and we are so grateful we found her. She treats your pets like her own. Dependable, trustworthy and just a nice human. We are so happy we have a sitter for our “not so easy to handle” dog. He loves her and so do we!”
“Great experience! We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog in Lauren's care so we could take a trip. Our dog loved her and had a great time. Lauren was on time, kept in contact, and very professional! Definitely book her for your animals care.”
“Isabella was amazing! She went above and beyond with our pets. I enjoyed receiving daily updates and pictures. When I got home, the house was clean, the animals were very happy and very well taken care of. Isabella definitely went the extra mile. I absolutely recommend her.!!”
“The bestest!!!!! If you want someone to watch your cats and feel secure they’re being well taken care of, get Hanna!! She is so caring and makes the extra effort to make our babies feel comfortable and content. One of our kitties is very shy and Hanna did a great job of respecting her space but also making sure she’s fed/doing well. The other kitty that loves attention, Hanna made sure to give it to him! In addition, she made sure the water fountain was filled and the litter box clean! We are so appreciative of her and will definitely work with her again and recommend her care!!!”
“Chris was fantastic during his overnight stay with Olive and Davida! He took exceptional care of both of them, instantly tuning into their unique personalities and needs. Olive was in pure dog heaven—Chris kept her entertained with her favorite activities, including playing frisbee, going swimming, and even turning on Animal Planet to satisfy her complete obsession. Davida the cat was equally well cared for, relaxed, and content throughout the stay. Chris is reliable, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure our home and pets were in great hands. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“Hannah watched my dog and cat when I had to go out of town at the last minute. She followed all of my instructions and did a great job communicating. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies.”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child! I understand that dogs are more than pets- they're family! That's why I provide personalized, attentive care that goes beyond a simple walk or feeding schedule. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, relaxing stroll, overnight companionship, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I focus on creating a safe, loving, stress-free experience tailored to their individual needs and personality. As a mother I understand how important it is to find a quality care-giver you can trust. That same level of care, responsibility, patience, and attention is what I bring to every dog I walk and sit. My approach is rooted in patience, reliability, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to details, follow routines carefully, and make sure your dog receives affection, exercise, and the care they deserve. You'll receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to stay connected to your furry family member. Even though my family doesn't have a dog currently, my children would love to have one. I felt that pet sitting and dog walking would be a good way for my children to see what it's like to have a dog. I will make sure your dog will be well taken care of! I'm able to check on your dog and/or walk your dog throughout the day. I'll make sure your dog is well taken care of, given plenty of food, water, and attention! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around while at my house! I also have children who love dogs. While pet sitting in your home, I will be professional, and respectful of your home.
“Kari was great with our 2 Great Danes! We were gone over 4th of July and they were so scared of the fireworks, Kari did a great job of consoling them and trying her best to make them feel better. The extra stress really affected our older dog and she had plenty of extra messes to deal with but kept us updated the whole time. She even threw our bedding in the wash before she left. Would book again and highly recommend!”
“Olivia was wonderful to work with. She met with us before hand to meet our fur babies and get the lay of the land. Our house, dogs, and cats were in wonderful shape and happy as can be when we returned. She was happy to share pictures throughout our absence. We highly recommend Olivia.”
About: I have had several dogs and cats over the years. I love how they are always happy to see you and they love you unconditionally I'm pretty sure I will be a little lonely without my son. I hope to fill that space with some special pets I work full time day hours. I work 2 minutes down the street so I could check on them often and spend the evenings with them 😉 I love pets. I will treat them as if they were my own. My son is going to college in August and I will be an empty nester
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Mikayla did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was away. She was very prompt with replies and kept me updated on how things were going. Thanks to her I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was well cared for!”
“Kyla watched my puppy over his first birthday when I had to leave town. I was so sad to leave him, but she took care of him well and even sang him happy birthday! She sent lots of photos and videos so I could see how he was doing. I would definitely use her again!”
“Melissa is awesome! She took great care of our dog, kept us informed, sent lots of photos, was punctual, went above and beyond and even brought all my packages inside knowing we wouldn't be home for a few days. We highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sporting Hill
Aria came highly recommended and did not disappoint! She was highly communicative and dependable. It’s clear that she is a “pet person” first and foremost, which was a must for me. I was concerned, having a challenging dog with behavior issues, but Aria was understanding and patient. Will definitely be hiring her again.
Teddy was outstanding with our pet kids! For a little background, we have a 6-year-old Staffy with a personality all his own, a 15-year-old Yorkiepoo with a medication list longer than your arm, and a cat somewhere between 10 and 12 who we’re pretty sure thinks he’s a dog at this point. Needless to say, our crew comes with a few quirks! Teddy handled all of it like a pro. He cared for them as if they were his own, kept the house in great shape, and stayed in touch with us throughout the day so we never had to wonder how things were going. He was everything we hoped to find in a sitter, and knowing our pets were in such good hands made it that much easier to enjoy our time away. We’ll absolutely be using Teddy again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!
Isabella was great! She arrived right on time, kept us updated while we were away, and took good care of the dogs and our home. Everything we asked her to handle was taken care of, and it was nice knowing the dogs were in good hands for the night. We came home to everything just as we left it and happy pups. We’d definitely feel comfortable having Isabella stay with them again.
Becky stayed with our two eccentric and very spoiled dogs for a week. We have never left them before and were very anxious! She sent pictures and texted every day! We couldn’t have been happier with her loving care of them. We will take another short trip in September and Becky will care for them. I can’t imagine anyone giving them more love and attention and going the extra mile to make them comfortable than Becky.
Chris was fantastic during his overnight stay with Olive and Davida! He took exceptional care of both of them, instantly tuning into their unique personalities and needs. Olive was in pure dog heaven—Chris kept her entertained with her favorite activities, including playing frisbee, going swimming, and even turning on Animal Planet to satisfy her complete obsession. Davida the cat was equally well cared for, relaxed, and content throughout the stay. Chris is reliable, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure our home and pets were in great hands. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!
Stephanie was wonderful with our pups - this was the first time using her and for a week long trip, so we were a little apprehensive with a new sitter, but she was very responsible with the dogs; communicative with daily updates and photos; accommodated our two dogs of pretty varying ages and needs, working well with both; and left the house in good order. We will definitely use her again!
Morgan V did a great job house sitting overnight for our 3 dogs and two cats.she sent multiple photos and sent updates. All three of the pups needed medications ( they are 10 - 15 1/2 years old ) and Morgan handled the job perfectly. One of the pups was stressed from a severe thunderstorm and Morgan alerted us that she was keeping him close to comfort him. The entire crew seemed stress feee and quite happy once we returned home. Even our one cat, who is painfully shy and never comes out of her room when visitors are in the home, allowed Morgan to see her and take a photo. We will definitely keep Morgan V on our preferred sitter list. Thank you Morgan!
We had a great experience with Haley. Communication was excellent from start to finish — she responded quickly and was always easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. She kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our pets were clearly well cared for and in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Allyson did an amazing job taking care of Moo Moo for us while we were away. I gave her a lot of advanced warning about Moo Moo not being friendly with other dogs and she followed the proper protocol necessary in order to keep Moo Moo safe. Allyson also left the house in the same condition we left it in. We would definitely book with her again in the future.
Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!

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 Sporting Hill 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 Sporting Hill 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 Sporting Hill 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 .
