“Shanna is great! This is our second booking, and just as impressed as the first. She takes great care of everything and does a great job with the right amount of updates. Definitely recommend Shanna!”
“Erin took such great care of our home and family. She sent us regular updates and photos of our three pugs and cat, as well as gave great feedback on their activities while we were away. We are so grateful to Erin and her willingness to stay at our home and take care of our family while we were away and we sure hope we can count on her again in the future!”
“Shantanice was great! I left with no worries about her taking care of Murphy and our house. We came back to a happy dog and a clean home! I got regular communication and check-ins! Would definitely book her again!”
About: We love animals! We are a mother/adult son team who will be working together to make your pets feel loved and happy. We recently lost our dog of 16 years and miss having pets around. We have had several dogs and cats of our own over the years and have fostered and placed many more for adoption. We have experience with dogs as small as 4lbs, up to 80lbs, from puppies/kittens to seniors. You will receive frequent updates and pictures throughout the booking, and we are very responsive to texts and calls. My teammate Alex and I are currently working part-time, with alternating schedules, so there is always someone available to care for your pet. We provide frequent updates and pictures, so you never have to wonder what your pet is up to. DROP-IN VISITS: We will listen to and follow your instructions and preferences to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. HOUSE SITTING in your home: We know pets are most comfortable in their own home, so we will listen to and follow your instructions and preferences to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. We are healthy and active and try our best to meet the activity level of your pet. If you would like, we can visit a few times before the booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with us beforehand. With two of us working together, we can provide more frequent check-ins, meaning we can accommodate animals who do not like to be kenneled or left alone. We are able to administer medications. BOARDING in our home: Since we have no pets our own, yours will get all the attention, and no children to bother the senior dogs who just want to relax. We also do not accept more than one family's pets at a time, so no need to worry if your pet will get along with others. We have experience with anxious and reactive dogs as well. We encourage you to visit our home beforehand a few times so your pet is not confused and scared when you leave them for a few days. We have a completely fenced in yard, but dogs are never left out by themselves. With two of us working together, there is hardly a time when your pet will be left alone in the home, meaning we can accommodate animals who do not like to be kenneled. We will listen to and follow your instructions and preferences to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Cats will have their own room to chill in or can roam the house freely. We are able to administer medications. DOG WALKING: We can discuss your preferences for walking locations and times. Looking forward to hearing from you and providing top quality care for your precious fur children!
“Susan house sat our Labradors, Maddie and Piper for the first time. We are beyond pleased with the exceptional quality of attention and care she provided. Susan was always on-time, professional, friendly, and showed she cared about our dogs. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions or provide updates. Both dogs took to her immediately and she treated them like her own. The house was absolutely spotless when we returned. We will definitely be asking her to house sit again in the future!!”
About: Hello Community, my name is Bridget I'm a Kansas State Alum with a degree in Animal Science. I'm a full time Veterinary Assistant and a big-time animal lover. I love caring for pets and meeting the variety of personalities they have to offer. I enjoy strolling in the park and taking fur babies on car rides. I love finding ways to help my community and caring for your fur babies like my own. Pet care is my current side job alongside my full-time job as a veterinary assistant. I am finding new ways to help my community while saving up for my veterinary school journey. I can care for your pets in your home by helping with everyday tasks such as feeding, walking 15-30 mins, and grooming if necessary. Trimming nails or cleaning ears if deemed necessary.
“Alex is just phenomenal. She is so good with my animals, and while I think I'm a pretty good pet parent, I've learned some things from Alex. She's so respectful of my home. Best communicator of any sitter I've had, and her notes are often funny too. Alex is like family to both me and my cats and dog. We love her!”
“Brandi was AMAZING!! I have 2 dogs, once who is very social and the other who is VERY shy. My shy girl bonded with Brandi after only 1 day! Brandi was extremely kind and patient with her! She comes over when needed and stays for a good amount of time to hangout with them. She was very informative and sent lots of photos! She was a perfect sitter and I would 100% rebook!”
“Carolyn was amazing. We found her in a pinch and will definitely have her watch our dog again. She was so respectful, kind, and thoughtful! She stayed with our girl over the fourth who has pretty bad noise sensitivity/anxiety and I felt so comfortable and at peace having Carolyn there. Would highly recommend!”
“Needed someone to sit for my pups who were new to my household. Susan stepped right up and did a fantastic job of keeping them active and loved while I was away for work for a few days. Above and beyond!”
“Thomas was great! He was so kind to our cats & handled a unique situation where he house sat and paid extra attention to our cat who was coming home from surgery and a hospital stay. Great communication, trust worthy, and left our house in perfect condition! Thanks so much!”
“This was Briley’s second stay with our pups and once again, she did a wonderful job. Great communicator and gives us the peace of mind that our pups are well taken care of and loved on.”
“Amanda was AMAZING! I trusted her as soon as I met her, and my animals immediately adored her. She sent me photos every day, kept me up to date on their quirks, and left my home in immaculate condition. I was so thrilled to have her, and I know my pets were happy, too! I think one of my cats still misses her!”
About: Since I was a kid, I've been surrounded by pets. My dogs have been my buddies, showing me the ropes of training and taking care of furry pals. And you bet, I've also chilled with plenty of cool cats along the way. Whether it's dogs or cats, I've got the experience and love to keep them happy and well-cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule and routine. I've tailored my commitments to ensure that I'm never away from home for more than three hours at a stretch, giving your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. With my wife working from home three days a week, there's always someone around to keep our pup company. And on weekends, we make it a priority to spend quality time together, cuddling with our pup and exploring the great outdoors with walks in the park. At home or at clients' places, pets get personalized care. We're lucky to have a private dog park nearby for playtime. Also, safe trails offer scenic walks. Plus, our pet spa ensures comfortable baths for a relaxing experience.
About: I've been traveling all over the US and pet sitting for all kinds of dogs and cats in all kinds of homes! I love animals and this is my way of meeting that need and making some extra money! I am very responsible and have taken great care of people's homes and pets for many years with great reviews, references, and referrals. I am a life coach who works online and when I'm in Kansas City I work part time at Billie's Grocery. I would definitely prioritize any pet care that I commit to! As I travel full time in my camper van, when I stay at your home I keep it very clean as you will experience upon return. I am appreciative of the opportunity to stay in your home and care for your pets and will put their well-being before my own, especially if they have special needs or diet.
“Jennifer goes above and beyond, helps with watering the plants as well as making our little lady feel loved and safe while we are away. It’s hard being away from our dog while we are traveling but we know Ilsa is having a great time without us because she’s with Jennifer.”
“Reece did an amazing job watching our furbaby Paco! She sent pics daily and kept us up to date on his well-being (he was not feeling so good when we left which makes leaving that much more stressful). She cleaned the house before she left and left us a nice note about how our baby did while we were away. We will definitely have Reece back again the next time we go out of town. Highly recommended!”
“Jenna was so fabulous. This was my first time using rover and she really helped ease my anxiety with leaving my fur babies in her hands. She sent so many pictures and took through notes of my pets routine and daily needs, which was very much appreciated.”

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 Stone 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 Stone 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 Stone 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.
