“Once again I was relieved and felt confident that my dog Walter was in good hands while I was away on vacation. Walter can be anxious with different people, but Amanda knows how to handle him. I definitely plan to use Amanda's services again in the future.”
“Nova (our dog) LOVES Kara it's so sweet. She waits at the door for her on the days Kara comes to help. Always on time, amazing communication, and fully trustworthy. Really a gift for us to have found Kara's help!”
“Katie was amazing! She stayed at our place and not only took amazing care of our Basset hound, Gulliver, but kept an eye over the house as well. We will absolutely have her back! She did a phenomenal job taking care of our spoiled little dog! Thank you so much Katie!”
“Alyssa was AMAZING! She sent me so many photos, numerous updates, and everything was so detailed. I felt great having my dogs alone with her and can’t wait for her to come back and take care of them. Highly HIGHLY recommend!”
“Marissa was fantastic! I will definitely use her again! My girls fell in love with her, and one likes to test people to see if she can gain control and run the house. Marissa was firm in who was in control, but loving to jot hurt feelings. She provided regular updates and together we got through some tummy issues to make it where I got back home. The house kitties, who were not part of her duties other than to accept snuggles, adored her as well. At one point she was surrounded by 2 dogs and 2 kitties touching her at once! When we got back, as excited as my dogs were to see me, they also looked around me to see if Marissa was there. My animals tell me all I need to know about a person, abd they adore her. Your pets will too!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! From the moment we left, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. She sent great daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and relaxed they were. One of our dogs is a bit skittish and can take time to warm up to new people, but Amy truly worked her magic — by the end, our pup loved her! It was clear she was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring with both of them. We are so grateful and will definitely be using Amy again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Sydney is both very personable and professional. She bonded quickly with our dog and understood all of her care needs. We received daily photos at various times as well as text updates. We will be repeat clients and can't recommend her enough!”

During some weeks throughout the year, I take of my neighbors' pigs and ducks An extremely ambitious individual who absolutely adores pets. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals. I have a massive dog named Benny who is full of energy. I was a college runner at Hofstra and can take on dogs of all sizes. I can take of your pet(s) walking needs and nutritional needs.

“Ashley was great with Gus and Chloe, she was very communicative throughout the week and was flexible on a time adjust. I even heard from our neighbor she was very attentive to Gus and did a lot of outdoor playing. Would request Ashley again when needed.”
“Emily was great with our 3 dogs, fish, and bearded dragon while we were away for two weeks! I felt at ease the entirety of our trip with her watching our animals. She kept us updated with pictures and was available if we needed to contact her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again”
“Emily did an exceptional job doing an in house stay with our fur pack. They each have their own unique personalities and can be a bit of a handful, but she treated each one with love and attention to meet their needs. They warmed up to her quickly and we could tell when we came home that while they missed us, they had not been stressed with a new person taking care of them. This is a huge win. Emily left the house spotless and we couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our home and fur family while we were away. We recommend Emily to anyone who wants their animals to be loved on and taken care of and to have their home respected and well watched.”
“My dog loves Nishat! She has such a calming energy and puts my nervous dog instantly at ease. Nishat came to the rescue when family emergencies left little time for making arrangements, and made sure Beesly was safe and happy while I was away. She sends lots of photo updates during her stay and really dotes on my dog. Beesly and I are so happy to have found Nishat!”

“Faith was a fantastic sitter for Odin. I was out for a biz trip and she took care of Odin without any issues. Went on daily walks with him and gave him his medicine. Would highly recommend Faith to any dog parent who needs an overnight sitter. Thank you Faith!”
“Amy is pleasant, she is responsible and respectful of our home. She left our house in perfect order. She took great care of our 2 dogs , they were happy and satisfied when we got home. We will definitely ask her to care for them again.”

Amanda is wonderful. Our Lucy immediately liked her and Amanda sent us regular photos and updates while we were gone. She even helped Lucy through her 4th of July fireworks anxiety and panic attacks. Amanda was very respectful of our home and cleaned up after herself before she left. We highly recommend her for anyone and she is LGBTQ friendly which was an extra bonus and relief for us. We will definitely hire her 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 Standish 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 Standish 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 Standish 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.
