About: A true dog lover will take care of your fur baby and your home while you are away. I believe every dog deserves a vacation while their parents are away. When house sitting, my formula is simple: unlimited belly rubs for your pup and absolute respect for your space. I’m available to take care of your dog(s) and your house over night during the week, all day on Saturday and Sunday and during all major holidays and school breaks. I take care of dogs in client’s home, I take dogs for long walks and give them plenty of love and attention. Lots of playtime too.
“This was our second time having Lisa sit for our cat and everything went perfectly again. The communication is always great and our cat gets along great with Lisa. We will book again!”
“Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.”
“Jason did an amazing job stepping in to help with care for our older dog when we were having people over and couldn’t watch her closely as we usually do. He was caring, responsive, excellent communication. Thank you Jason!!”
“Ryan was wonderful! Super responsive, sent pics of the babies, overall just went above and beyond! Our pups were probably sad to be stuck with us again after spending time with him ? Will definitely have him back!”
“Tiffany was a fantastic house sitter for our 9-month-old puppy! She was responsive, professional, and made sure our dog felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away - which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer is great! She has a calm, confident demeanor which helps with our puppy's over-excitement. Our puppy is happy to see her come and is sad when she leaves. We're all looking forward to Jennifer's next visit”
“Melissa sent updates of the fun she had with my dogs, never hesitated to ask if she had a question, followed directions perfectly, and left my house cleaner than I left it!! I wanted a sitter who truly would spend time with my dogs as they are used to someone here mostly at home and Melissa did just that! She showed love and care for my dogs the week we were away. Thank you, Melissa!!”
“Arianna was fantastic house sitting my two pets. She understood their personalities and took such great care of them while I was out of town for a work trip. Highly recommend!”
“Hope house sat and watched my dog while I was out of town for 6 nights. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent daily updates (and also she was very friendly). Hope left my house as clean as when she arrived, and my dog was very happy with all of the attention and exercise she received. I would recommend Hope for house sitting in the future and will be happy to have her watch Kaya again!”
“Carolyn was a great housesitter for my lab and two cats. She agreed to housesit within one week for s trial night and did a fantastic job!! She is very good with walking my strong lab and giving commands, and Kaya seems to love her! I would recommend Carolyn for housesitting and dog walking.”
“Madeline was fantastic! Our dog was immediately smitten with her. Not only was Madeline attentive to all of the instructions I shared with her, but she was also flexible when it came to scheduling, since we didn’t know how long we’d be gone for. I’d highly recommend Madeline as a responsible, dependable, and caring sitter for your pets!”
“Super impressed! Billy is blind and Maggie is recovering from a sprain. I felt like I had the dog whisperer in my house. She is so clean!! She literally pulled the sheets off the bed before she left.”
“Abby is an excellent dog sitter. My dog was given a ton of love and my house was in good order when we returned from our vacation. We received daily pics and I'm pretty sure my dog would have been fine if we never returned! Abby obviously loves animals and is a responsible and reasonably priced sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Dylan was amazing with our Dobermans Storm and Damen!!! He stayed with them in our home and not only was he great with them and they loved him. Thank you and we will definitely be reaching out to Dylan again!!!”

I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs and enjoy spending time with them, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

I am in the basement so I can easily move my dogs upstairs.
“You can stop looking for your next dog sitter! Houston did a fantastic job for us! She stayed in our home with our large breed dog while we were out of town for a week in April 2021. We received daily pictures and videos of our dog to reassure us she was being well taken care of. Our house was spotless when we arrived home late at night - the trash was taken out, the bed was made, the mail was on the counter, and most importantly our dog was happy with plenty of food and water. I can't recommend Houston enough and will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi there! ☺️ With over 10 years of experience caring for animals - both in-home and at professional facilities - I’ve pretty much seen it all (and loved every second of it)! I currently work at a luxury pet resort, where I’m lucky enough to pamper pups (and their human parents), and keep all kinds of furry friends happy and healthy. 🐾 I’ve also worked at a horse stable and have hands-on experience with senior dogs, cats, birds and even fish. I grew up with a lovable Maltese and stray cat, so I know just how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got things covered! 🐶🐠🐱🐴🐢 I work full-time at a luxury pet resort, but I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you and your furry-friend's needs are! ☺️ My biggest priority is to make both you and your fur baby feel safe and well-cared for. This includes fostering an environment around your pet that is happy, calm and full of fun! With my many years of experience, you can always count on me to advocate for you and your pet's greatest needs!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Techny
Grace did an amazing job taking care of our dog and cat! Both are rescues from Texas and have their own little quirks, and she handled each of them with so much patience, kindness, and care. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. Grace was also incredibly communicative and sent us regular updates on how both of our babies were doing and handling our absence, which we really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure they were both comfortable and happy. We would 100% recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. She’s wonderful, and we’d absolutely have her care for our babies again!
Jennifer took such great care of Ref while we traveled for spring break. She took him on multiple walks a day, spent quality time playing with him, and even went above and beyond by helping with laundry. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was not only well cared for, but truly loved while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home, couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jennifer!

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 Techny 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 Techny 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 Techny 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!

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.
