“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
“Tina went above and beyond to come take care of our pets. I trust that she does a great job and my pups love the company of her and her kiddos. Would recommend and will use again 😊”
“Kendra was fantastic! She is a great communicator with lots of updates and pictures. ♥️ She walked the dogs often and knew how to handle our dog that barks at others on a leash! Thank you for taking great care of the crew!”
About: Growing up, my house has always had at least three dogs (both big and small), and I could never imagine my life without pets. I currently live with a dog (pitty mix) and a cat (a cuddly gray tuxedo)! I adopted my dog about a year ago through a rescue, so I’ve also had some very recent training refreshers! I have taken animal husbandry - including first-aid on dogs and cats - courses throughout school, including learning how to care for exotic critters! I have cared for my dogs from the puppy stage to the senior stage, so I am familiar with what each life stage brings. Although I have more experience with dogs, I still love cats and spending time with them just as much. I have lived with my current cat for 3 years, and she has taught me many things about cat behavior and companionship! I have an understanding and love for every animal, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work full-time (with the flexibility to step away for a quick drop-in) from 6am to 2-3pm Monday thru Thursday, and Friday 6am-11am. I am free anytime after work, and my weekends are typically open! I will treat each client’s home and belongings with the upmost respect and care. Cleanliness is very important to me, so you can expect to return to a clean and tidy living space. I will ensure that your pet will remain in a safe and healthy home while you are away. Leaving a pet with someone else can be scary, so I want to make the experience for the owner and the pet as peaceful and pleasant as possible.
“Ann was great. She watched our dog and our house for 11 nights, and took care of a couple other tasks for us. We will definitely try to book her again next time we leave town!”
“Mandi was great with our dog. She was punctual and friendly. Our pup loved her (loves everyone though haha). She kept us updated throughout the evening while we were gone with pictures and messages. She comforted our pup when people were letting off fireworks unexpectedly. Would hire again!”
About: My love for animals has opened up a whole world of wonder, connection, and understanding. I believe every animal has their own little quirks, unique personality, and special way of seeing the world. I love getting to know each one and finding ways to make them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved—because every furry (and not-so-furry) friend deserves a little extra magic and kindness. Being a groomer and pet sitter allows me to maintain a very flexible schedule centered around animals. My own dogs are a big part of my everyday life, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and quality time. I enjoy including them in my daily activities and adventures, keeping that close bond strong while making sure every pet in my care receives the same thoughtful attention and affection. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I love keeping things as familiar and comfortable as possible by sticking to their routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they feel loved while their people are away. My housemate happily helps look after my own dogs while I'm away, so I can give my full attention to my furry guests. I want every pet to feel like they're having a little vacation of their own, filled with comfort, companionship, and lots of love!
“Emma was extremely helpful and took great care of the house and our kitten. The pictures she sent were greatly appreciated. We felt very comfortable with our home in her care.”
“Carlie took great care of our pups again! She is responsible and sent updates which we appreciated. She helped out with a last minute medication for our pup too! Our dogs were in good hands!”
About: We have been loving and caring for dogs for a long time. Big and small dogs; young and old. Our son and 7 year old dog are welcoming I am currently working from home and Bryan works part time. Our son is home schooled at this time, therefore, we have time and energy to help other dogs and other families We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood; part of our yard is fenced and other part is open for additional exercise. We also walk our dog daily.
About: I’ve grown up in a household that has always had at least two dogs, usually 3. We also had 3 indoor-outdoor cats. I am now a student at UW Madison, and I have a 5yr old heeler shepherd mix. Throughout her life I have trained her for obedience and herding, and have dealt with low confidence and reactivity with her daily. I am experienced with dogs who are shy and tend to be reactive. I am studying for a Food Science PhD at UW Madison, so I’m able to take whatever requests work outside of my classes! Most weekends are free, and I update my calendar regularly to reflect class and exam schedules. I have experience training dogs and love hanging out with any breed of dog. I believe dogs need both mental and physical stimulation in order to be fulfilled.
“Many, many thanks to you, Kimberly, for taking such loving care of our dogs!! We are so grateful for the peace of mind you give us while we are away. I genuinely appreciate the photos and updates, and I know the boys truly look forward to your visits! Thank you!”
“Donna cared for our dogs and cats over Thanksgiving. She was very communicative, replied quickly and sent photos, and our pets were happy & healthy when we returned. We would definitely book Donna again in the future. Such a lovely person and so great with animals!”
“Nowell did a great job house sitting! They hopped in to cover an emergency and were very flexible and communicative. They took excellent care of my dog and 3 cats. Everyone was happy and healthy when I arrived home and our home was in great condition. I would definitely hire Nowell again!”
“Lensy was amazing with my two pups, including meds, walks, and lots of love and attention, which is what they need. She’s great with communication and updates, and took excellent care of my two doggos!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I recently lost my 2-year-old pup unexpectedly, and while I'm figuring out the right time to welcome another dog into my family, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours like my own. I've cared for many family and friends' dogs & cats, including overnight stays, with experience ranging from tiny 3 lb pups to 80 lb dogs. I also occasionally help care for my roommate's sister's three Great Danes, so I'm very comfortable around larger breeds! I raised and trained my own pup from just 3 months old, teaching her all sorts of tricks — both useful and just-for-fun! I enjoy working with dogs, keeping them mentally stimulated, and finding fun ways to engage with them. I also work in the Emergency Department, so I'm comfortable staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and handling unexpected situations. I'm responsible, attentive, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, extra attention, help reinforcing training, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for just like one of my own! I typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which leaves me with several days off to dedicate to pet care! When I'm not working, I love spending time outdoors walking, running, biking, and hiking. I enjoy bringing pets along for adventures when they're up for it, but I'm just as happy having a relaxing night in with a furry friend. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet's needs, whether that means getting outside for exercise and playtime, sticking to their usual feeding and walking schedule, or having a quiet day filled with cuddles and companionship. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make them part of my everyday routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I keep pet gates available throughout my home to help create safe spaces and separate areas when needed. On some weekends, there may also be a very friendly, laid-back mini schnauzer in the home, but I always prioritize making sure all pets are comfortable with one another and have their own space. I'm comfortable with the realities of pet ownership, including accidents, muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional mess! I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and am happy to clean up after pets as needed. I also understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining familiar routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and being mindful of potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I want you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are in good hands while you're away!
“Edwin was a great dog sitter for Cosmo. He communicated with us very promptly and often. He sent pictures a few times a day and Cosmo always looked happy and content. Edwin left our house clean and in order. We would happily have him to take care of Cosmo 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 Springfield Corners 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 Springfield Corners 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 Springfield Corners 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.
