“Emma did a great job with Chuck. She sent the perfect daily updates to keep us informed, and I know Chuck appreciated the daily walks, cuddles and new TV shows. We would definitely use her again, and would recommend her to others!”
“This is the second time we have had Kaya watch our poodle, she was very relaxed when we got home, and house was as we left better than we left it. Would have her watch Anya again.”
“One of my dogs was unwell and Nancy had no issue going to pick up meds …twice when the pharmacy got them wrong. She sent tons of updates and pics so I wasn’t worried for one moment while I was gone. Thank you!!!!”
About: I work from home as a writer, which means lots of sitting around on the couch with my laptop, and plenty of lap room for cats and dogs, too! I have been pet-sitting for my friends very often in the last two years. I have always loved other people's pets and gravitated toward the critters whenever I'm at a friend's house who has pets. Several of my closest friends trust me with their animals every time they travel as they know that I am organized enough to keep track of multiple animals with different feeding needs and routines, giving pet meds, as well as making sure the animals have exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I notice the little things and communicate effectively as needed with pet parents to make sure the cats and dogs I have cared for are safe and content. I have lived with animals all my life and I love being around them! As an author, I write on my phone or laptop, and it leaves me with lots of flexibility. I can adapt to any routine for dog walking, pet feeding, giving pets meds, playtime, and lots of snuggles and attention - work will never get in the way as there are no fixed times for my writing schedule. Because I work from home on my own terms, I can remain in the home with the pets continuously. I take frequent breaks to give the animals play time, lots of attention, any clean-up necessary, and of course feeding and any necessary meds that keep them on the routine they're used to. I am always present to keep an eye out and make sure they are safe and content.
“Katherine is exceptional. Her communication is outstanding and it is clear she respects animals. She was great with my senior lab and very flexible with my booking. I recommend you book with her.”
“Jasmine did a great job pet sitting my dog, Bowie! She went out of her way to send me photos and updates and was overall great with communication. She made me feel very at ease and took good care of my dog and my house while staying here. Bowie really likes her as well. I would definitely use her again for pet sitting and would recommend her to others as well.”
“Julianne was a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Communicated with us well throughout the whole trip and kept our home spotless! Spent lots of quality time with our pets and helped keep us at ease throughout our trip.”
“Kayla was fantastic! She watched our two cats and two dogs. She updated us with photos daily and our house was in perfect condition when we returned home! Looking forward to her next visit!”
“Sophia was outstanding. Great communication, plenty of happy pet pics and very reliable. Your loved one would be in great hands with her. I was very grateful for her and knowing she was here made my trip more enjoyable.”
“Erika took care of our dog Izzy and cat Leo in our home while we were on vacation for 10 days. Her communication was great! She consistently gave us updates. Izzy needed some lite physical therapy, and she took care of that too. I felt comfortable having her in our home taking care of our pets. She really seemed to bond with them and they took to her as well. She also kept the house neat which was a plus.”
“Wanda is a wonderful person and a great dog sitter. She covered us on relatively short notice for a weekend (2 nights), staying in our house and taking care of our two high energy Goldens. She has excellent communication and the utmost respect and care for the space, the dogs, and us. We recommend booking with Wanda and would love to do so again in the future!”
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”
“Amy stayed overnight at our house with our dogs and cats for a few days. We came home to happy animals and a clean house! She was communicative and sent pictures and updates. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Ella was quick to respond every time, which we appreciate! She provided updates with photos. She was friendly and did everything we asked her to do, our dogs were happy to have her and everything went exactly as planned.”
“Courtney was great, and gave us updates and pictures regularly throughout our trip! Our Berner got into some clothing, and she let us know immediately and kept an eye on her. We'd love to have her watch our pups again!”
“Teresa was wonderful and did an amazing job of taking care of my fur babies! She was great at keeping me updated with daily pics and communication, and my pups seemed to really love her as well. Would absolutely recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Timnath
We are so grateful we found Kelsey to care for our dog, Bagel, and watch over the house while we were gone. From the very start, not only did we feel completely comfortable with her, but we could also tell Bagel warmed up to her quickly. Throughout our vacation, Kelsey sent regular updates and cute photos, so we never felt out of the loop, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Bagel was incredibly happy hanging out with her. When we got back, the house was absolutely spotless. She even went out of her way to put on fresh bedding, knowing we had a long travel day. I highly recommend Kelsey for house and dog sitting! We will definitely be booking her again, and I'm sure Bagel will be thrilled to see her!
We originally hired Trey for standard house sitting, though after meeting and working together a bit his visits turned into full training sessions and we ended up with more care than we thought we could get for our guys while we were away. He stayed on schedule and worked nicely with others who were staying out our home to make sure our boys exercised, engaged, and cared for. What sets this apart was that every visit ended up as high-level training session. Communication was fantastic and completely reliable before, during, and after the sit, good photos every day of the visits. Trey is a natural at reading body language in real time and has expertise with large breeds and helped us update patterns that had crept into our own handling. We’re thrilled he moved to Fort Collins and brought his skills here. We’ll absolutely be booking him for future trips and are already lining up our holiday schedule with him.
Emma sent lots of photos and I could tell that my pups were happy and well cared for. My younger dog is quite anxious and Emma noticed some inappropriate chewing and contacted me to see if that was normal for her or not, wondering if she was feeling anxious. I really appreciated her attention to that detail and her communicating with me about it. She did a great job!

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 Timnath 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 Timnath 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 Timnath 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.
