“Hayleigh was amazing. She accommodated my last minute request in a pinch. I felt as though she genuinely cared about my cats and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable when I had a last minute change of plans. She gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and helping out with friends’ and family members’ pets. I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level and do my best to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. my dog struggles with anxiety, so I also have some experience dealing with that. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and availability for pet care. I’m available on weekends and typically have flexibility with my scheduling during typical working hours (9-5) to care for your pet! I’m happy to work around your pets normal routine for walks, feeding, playtime and check ins. I treat pets like I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and close attention. I carefully follow any instructions you leave, keep pets secure on walks or in the home, and check in if I have any questions. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.
“We were able to book Evan on short notice to spend time with our two cats when we had a sudden out-of-state schedule issue. Evan kept in contact with us and was respectful of our home. Our cats were happy and healthy when we got home, I can tell they were well taken care of and liked having Evan around. Thank you!”
“Tara was wonderful. She kept us updated on how our dog was doing including pictures. When we arrived home I found a happy dog that had been taken care of extremely well. It was as if he had his own vacation!”
“Steph was an amazing sitter for Max! She was a great communicator, handled him so well and left our home spotless. We’re especially grateful for how well he bonded with her and the time she took to reinforce some positive behaviors with him. Max can be a little needy and she took it in stride. Highly highly recommend Steph to take care of your furry bff and home!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Isabel was amazing. She provided updates and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very professional and asked lots of our questions during our virtual meet and greet and took the time to learn the dogs’ routines. We can’t wait to use her again!”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Nadine did a great job with our five month old puppy! Our puppy loved her at the meet and greet. I wasn’t home at the time Nadine came to walk Sandy so Nadine sent lots of photos and videos and actively walked our puppy and played with her the whole hour of the visit. Nadine was very professional and went the extra mile for us, even fitting us in last minute, in between other obligations!”
“Emily is competent, experienced and very animal-oriented. My two took to her immediately. She arrived right on time, sent updates and pictures as promised, and left the house in perfect condition. She asked good questions and appreciated the list of instructions I left for her. Into the bargain, she is a bright, interesting and all-around delightful person. I highly recommend her.”
“Rayna was amazing. She treated our dogs as if they were her own. One needed stitches and she sat at the vet with him for 8 hrs. Not many people would be that dedicated. Already booked her for another weekend.”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’ve had dogs of my own and understand that they aren’t “just pets” — they’re family. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and absolutely the person who talks to animals like they understand every word I’m saying. 😂 I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, medications, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, likes and dislikes, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable. I’m also a mom, homeowner, and working professional, so I understand the importance of being responsible, respectful and trustworthy — especially when someone is trusting me with both their pet and their home. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and weekend house sitting. When your pet is with me, you can expect regular communication and plenty of pictures and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to actually see that they’re happy and doing well. My goal is simple: for you to be able to leave knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and in good hands. 🐾❤️. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care after work on weekday evenings after 3:30 and have open availability on weekends. Weekends are perfect for house sitting, longer visits, walks, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, gates, leashes, and any special needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away
About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.
“Meghan was an excellent house sitter. She has earned and maintains our trust with both our house and our pets. We would definitely book with her again. She is tidy, professional, and communicates exceptionally well. A+++”
“Carissa took excellent care of our two cats! Sent daily photos and texts which is so reassuring! She even put down ice melt for us when we got snow. Highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, primarily dogs. I have lived with them and taken care of them for as long as I remember and I have watched several friends and families beloved pets. Your pets care is of the utmost importance to me to make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy! I work multiple jobs, all of which are part time. My avaikability typically includes Mondays and most Saturdays as well as weekdays after 3 pm I do not offer boarding at this time, however health and safety is incredibly important to me. I will ensure your dog is safe and happy while in my care

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swansea
Isabella stayed in our home and cared for your two dogs and guinea pig for a week in August. It was our first time working with someone from Rover and we were a little nervous in particular about our high energy younger dog who is prone to getting into everything. In short, she did a great job of taking care of our dogs and other pets and even changed our guinea pig's litter without being asked. The house was immaculate, sheets and towels washed and changed and pets very happy. She was mature, communicative and responsive to messages and to a last minute change in return dates. We would recommend her highly and we hope to work with her again. Thank you, Isabella!

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 Swansea 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 Swansea 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 Swansea 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.
