“Faith is incredibly accommodating and flexible! She watched my knoxie for the holidays and took last minute changes with stride! We were so lucky to have her, it makes our vacation 10x less stressful. She provided good feedback and lots of pics. I would deff book with her again!🤍 love Beth and Knox”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog Domino has received. I feel completely relaxed and at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Domino can be a little particular, but the patience, attention, and genuine love he’s shown makes all the difference. I truly appreciate the updates and how comfortable and content he looks. It’s such a relief to travel and know he’s not just being watched—he’s being cared for. Highly recommend!”
“We are always able to completely relax and enjoy our time away when Shauna takes care of our girls. She even does extra things like watering plants and checking the mail. I love the updates with pics too.”
“Kate did an AMAZING job taking care of our three pups! She send pictures and gave regular updates each day! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our fur pups were well cared for. Kate will be our go to dog sitter! 💕”
“Samuel was absolutely fantastic. Very quick with communications and follow up. Communications were consistent and informative. Momo was very happy spending time with Samuel and we would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”
“Eleonora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and 2 cats in our home. She walked our dog every day and kept us posted throughout the visit with messages and pics of our fur kids. She is very reliable and we would definitely book her again!”
“Samantha did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were away! She looked after our 6 month old puppy, our adult Frenchie, and our Maine Coon cat with so much care and attention. She also kept the litter box clean and made sure everyone was well cared for. She treated our home with respect and left everything clean and tidy when we returned. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in good hands. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I work full-time in healthcare, where attention to detail, responsibility and compassion are part of my everyday routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time M-F 8-5pm. I can do evening drop ins/walks by 5:30pm. Weekends are typically very open. You can rely on me on weekdays 5:30-9:30pm and weekends fully available morning-evening. I provide care in a safe, calm and structured environment during walks and drop in visits. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and comfort level, and I make sure they feel secure while you’re away. During visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine-whether that includes feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or snuggles. I always follow owner instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was little my family would rely on me to watch the dogs if they went out of town. I have also fostered litters of kittens and I’ve babysat puppies. And have taken care of sick animals. Im new here please book me!! i’m currently unemployed so I have a very free schedule to come play with your pups!I’m free for boarding any day of the week or weekend I have a fenced yard and two German Shepherd’s that Love going outside all day and I also have cats that are inside outside
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, cats and dogs of every shape, size, and temperament, and that upbringing shaped how I see the bond between people and their pets: not as ownership, but as companionship built on trust. Today I share my life with my husband and Tate, our six-year-old Lab / Australian Shepherd / Husky / Border Collie mix, whose energy for fetch and love of people remind me daily why that bond matters. Caring for animals isn't a task to me, it's second nature, rooted in years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for them. I wanted to be a veterinarian as a child, but as I got older I found my path in communications and marketing instead. What I didn't expect was how naturally that skill set would translate, my love for connecting people with brands mirrors the same intuition I bring to connecting people with their pets. I see the deep need for structure and training in the relationship between pets and their owners, and I've worked hard to train Tate to practice safety and recall, both on walks and during play. That foundation has kept her steady and confident in more situations than I can count… I am so proud to say I raised her from a puppy into the confident girl she is today. Whether it's a game of fetch in the yard, a long walk, or simply keeping a watchful eye while you're away, I treat every dog in my care with the same patience and attention I'd want for my own. I know that leaving your pet with someone else means placing something precious in their hands, and I don't take that lightly. Safety, structure, and attentiveness aren't just values I hold for my own Potato girl, they're the standard I bring into every home and every walk. When you book with me, you can trust that your pet is being watched over by someone who genuinely understands them, not just someone watching the clock.

Samantha did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were away! She looked after our 6 month old puppy, our adult Frenchie, and our Maine Coon cat with so much care and attention. She also kept the litter box clean and made sure everyone was well cared for. She treated our home with respect and left everything clean and tidy when we returned. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in good hands. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
We usually have our family members take care of our dog when we're gone, but this time we we're going on a family vacation and we had no one that we knew who was available. We found Alexis on Rover and she had great reviews, but I was nervous since our girl will growl at strangers in our home. Alexis came to meet our pup, and after a while Elsa became comfortable with her and that put my nerves at ease. We appreciated Alexis texts/messages that kept us updated on how Elsa (and our tortoise) were doing while we were gone. I also appreciated her flexibility when we let her know that we were coming home earlier than planned. Thank you for giving us peace of mind with our animals. We would definitely recommend, and we'd hire her again when we have another trip come up!
Faith was great! However, we just moved to Clovis, so my dog has been stubborn. Faith was unable to get him out of our bedroom. She ended up cancelling that night because she was supposed to come the next day as well. I did really appreciate her honesty because she said she didn't want to get paid since she wasn't able to provide the services I needed.
Dear, dear Rita got double duty this trip. We added a second dog, who's a sweet elderly old guy with incontinence issues. Rita took it in stride, even managing to diaper the dogger successfully, which I hadn't been able to do. As always, the dogs were happy, and everything thing was taken care of. I have complete faith in her abilities, and so appreciate her!
Arianna and my dog get along so well! I am always peaceful knowing my little girl is in such good loving hands 🥰 Arianna is very communicative, reliable and trustworthy! She’s been walking my dog and house sitting for me for over a year now and have been very pleased with her services!
Joseph took good care of my two cats while I traveled out of state. I felt safe leaving them in the care of a more mature person. My home was tidy and well kept when I returned. And, he is also owned by 2 cats - that makes a big difference! Thank you, Joseph! 😽😸

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 Tarpey 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 Tarpey 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 Tarpey 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.
