“Payton was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! She kept me updated with pictures while I was away, took him on long walks, and left my house clean and tidy. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flight was delayed and stayed a little later so Rocky wouldn’t be alone. Most importantly, Rocky absolutely loved her! I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Payton and will absolutely book her again!”
“Susan was excellent to work with - professional, prompt at replying, and she took great care of Nigel and Rosa. Communication was streamlined and we felt very confident leaving our dogs in her care. She was able to handle medication administration with no problems, and she went above and beyond to put me at ease during our time away from the dogs. We would absolutely book Susan again!”
About: I have grown up taking care of many different breeds and ages over the past 19 years from puppies to seniors up to 16. I'm experienced with house training, obedience training, and medication administration (including insulin shots for diabetic dogs). I've had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends, family and neighbors, which has included potty breaks, baths, walks, feeding, and some grooming. All pets I look after always receive lots of attention and lots of lovins, as I treat other's pets I am looking after like they're my own. :) I am in between jobs at the moment, so I have a lot of free time on my hands that I would love to spend taking care of fur babies! -If boarded at my home, I live in a townhouse that is pet friendly and includes surrounding yard areas. I share it with my adopted 6 year old fur baby, Ellie, that is a red lab mix. She is caught up on all vaccines, spayed and sees the vet regularly. Ellie is an absolute sweetheart to all dogs and people she is around. If you or your pet prefer to not be around another animal, I can always crate my pet or keep her in a separate room if needed.😊 -If pet sitting at owner's home, I would be very respectful and follow any and all directions the best I can. If preferred, I can send updates with pictures of your fur baby/babies and how they're doing as much as you'd like.
“My Siberian Huskies absolutely love Rhiannon. She did a great job showing them the love, attention and kindness that they crave. They’ll be super excited for the next time Rhiannon comes over to pet sit for them.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and I have a cat of my own who has been my dear Love for 9 years. Over the past 10 years, I have watched the two lovely dogs of my parents and I have watched my friend’s pets as well, both dogs and cats. I have taken care of elderly dogs and energetic puppies. I love giving any pet under my care long pets and scratches until they are in a state of bliss:) I am currently looking for a way to supplement my income and I have lots of time to take care of your fur baby! I am a local therapist who does remote work 3x a week. 2x a week I may have to go in the office. Since I work remotely, I can stay with your pets for longer periods of time. On days I have to go in office, I can add flexibility to my schedule to make sure your pets get breaks. I can’t have other people’s pets in home but I can stay with your pets where they feel most comfortable. I can dedicate my time to may sure they can get lots of love and attention. I can also give pets space if that’s what they need.
“Laurie was great with our dog. She was friendly and easy to work with and always made sure Jeter got to go outside and got his medicine as prescribed. We would definitely book Laudie again.”
About: Hi, I’m Brad — a lifelong animal lover with decades of dog ownership and experience caring for dogs, but I love pets of all kinds (well, except spiders and snakes...). As a dependable professional in my 50s, I bring calm, trustworthy, and attentive care (and lots of snuggles, if they are up for it) to every animal I work with. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I’m committed to clear communication, reliability, and respecting your home and routines. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, or steady companionship, I’m here to help. I’d love to care for your four-legged family member! I am a realtor with a very flexible schedule, and I would like to invest some of my non-realtor time to caring for your four-legged friends! All I require is dependable wifi, and I can conduct almost all of my "office" work remotely. I will show up for drop-ins and house sitting fully prepared to care for your pets, and provide the care they need. Feeding, walking, playing, and "scooping", as needed, are all part of my repertoire.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 years old. I have bathed, fed, walked, and played with dogs and cats alike. I love it a lot and animals just bring me joy. I currently work part time at another job so I’ll have time to help take care of your pets throughout the week and keep them company. I am able to move around a bunch to play with your pet! I can also cuddle and relax with them if that’s more their speed. I understand every pet is different and I can work with them however they need! I’ll also make sure to stay communicative, letting you know what’s going on and sending pictures of your fur baby’s.
About: Rover Bio Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience as a dog owner, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. 🐾 I live an active, athletic lifestyle and love staying busy—whether that means getting outside for a walk, going for a run, playing in the yard, or simply enjoying some fresh air. I’m happy to match your pup’s energy level, whether they’re ready for an adventure or prefer a slower stroll. But don’t let the athletic side fool you—I’m also a huge fan of couch cuddles, and quality time. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and love while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup has a safe, happy, and fun time! I’m currently working a flexible hybrid positions as a wedding planner! I work most Saturdays but have week day flexibility. I spend my days working from home and have ample time to care for your pets needs! I aim to create a comfortable environment for your pets and to keep their routine as normal as possible! I’m a very clean person and want to ensure your house is just as you left it!
About: I have taken care of my family’s pets and family friends pets since I was 15. I take them outside, feed them, play with them, and help bathe them. My grandma usually needs help taking her dogs out, give the dogs their medication, and bathe them. I also watch our family friends dog, billy when they are away. I have a large yard, i keep the dogs leashed when I walk outside with them. When I go to family friends houses they have an invisible fence to kelp their dogs in their yard.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. From taking care of my own pets to helping others out with their pets, I love providing the pet care an owner needs help with and a pet needs. Growing up, I lived across the street from my great aunt who bred and showed Great Danes. From a young age I remember sitting and watching out the front window for my aunt to come home so I could call her and ask if I could come help her with her Danes. When I was 10 years old, I started my own dog walking/pet sitting business and I have helped numerous families out with their pets while they were out on vacation or just needed help getting their pets outside for some exercise. After college, I worked at a local pet store and have gotten a lot of experience with dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I also have helped care for horses over the years. I love hanging out with animals and spoiling them like I do with my own pets. I am comfortable taking care of multiple pets and fur babies of all sizes. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for full time or part time work. I am currently a stay at home mom, so my availability is fairly free, but it varies from week to week. I am pretty flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I let my pets out multiple times a day and take them on walks. I love to take my pets out on hikes as well.
“We’ve had Tracey stop by our home twice now and could not recommend her more. She respects our home and our dog who can be picky about who he likes, loves her. She did phenomenal in reading his cues and being patient until he warmed up! Highly recommend Tracey!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages and sizes since I was young and none have given me any trouble. I don’t mind picking up messes that any dog might make. I absolutely love playing with them and taking them on walks. I doordash as my job so my availability is 100% open to any kind of needs your dog has. I pick what hours I work with door dash but normally I’ll door dash throughout the day then come home for the day around 5. Although when watching any animal I tend to switch up my hours so I can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention it needs. I like to keep a clean house so no dog has a chance to get into anything that could harm them or chew on anything not wanted.
“Shannon was amazing, my GSD loved her. Shannon sent me pictures of her and my GSD hanging out, I know my baby was in good hands while he was with Shannon! I will be using Shannon again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Star City
Marissa was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! She kept me updated throughout my entire trip with regular messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Rocky absolutely loved her and felt comfortable with her — he actually seems to be looking for her now that I’m home! Marissa was professional, communicative, dependable, and took great care of both Rocky and my home. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. We will definitely be booking Marissa again! ❤️
Payton was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! She kept me updated with pictures while I was away, took him on long walks, and left my house clean and tidy. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flight was delayed and stayed a little later so Rocky wouldn’t be alone. Most importantly, Rocky absolutely loved her! I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Payton and will absolutely book her again!
Kristin was a great communicator and routinely sent photos and updates for our pets. Right before we left for vacation our refrigerator broke and was unable to be repaired for a week. Kristin was flexible with this and was sure to be home for the repair man. She left our home in the condition she found it. Would certainly book again!
Cody was awesome! He did some house sitting with my two dogs over a four day period. I never worried once after he came to meet and greet with our dogs and get acquainted before we left on a trip. He was flexible and willing to make an extra trip to let my dogs out one last time before we got home. Very appreciative of him!
Emma was absolutely amazing with Luka while we were away. She gave us daily pictures and updates which gave us so much peace of mind the entire trip. Our house was left exactly the way we left it, and it was obvious she truly cared about Luka and not just “checking in.” What meant the most was how she went the extra mile when Luka started having some anxiety with us being gone. Emma was patient, attentive, and made sure Luka felt comfortable and cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate to care for their pets.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our three dogs received! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear she treated them not just as clients, but as her own — they were loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!
We had a last-minute dog sitter cancellation the literal evening before a weekend trip and were scrambling to find someone. Faith truly came through for us. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very flexible on short notice. She took great care of Remi and kept us updated with the cutest pictures throughout the weekend, which gave us real peace of mind. This was our first time booking with Faith, and it definitely won’t be the last. Thank you so much, Faith! Good luck with finals!
We have had Bessie watch our dog, Margo, several times and she has always done a phenomenal job. Bessie always takes care of Margo's fundamentals, and also make sure she has a great time with walks and play time. I think Margo seems genuinely happy when Bessie watches her. Sometimes, when using Rover, you know you come home and there's like a feeling that your dog was stressed. We have never had that feeling with Bessie. Always come home to a very happy dog!
We have used Alaska several times for our Saint Bernard Margo and Margo always seems to enjoy her visits! Alaska is friendly, communicative, and attentive. She lets us know if Margo's been having a good day, or if something was off. She's exactly what you want if you're looking for someone you can trust on Rover.

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 Star City 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 Star City 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 Star City 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.
