“Emily did a great job with our very active puppy. She stayed in touch with us and kept us very informed during her stay. We had outside construction that made a dirty mess of our yard and she had to deal with the mess and keeping the dog out of the mess. I am sure it wasn’t easy or fun. She adjusted and didn’t complain. Our house looked great and our puppy was well taken care of.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, Leigh went absolutely above and beyond every expectation we had. Her communication was fantastic the entire time — we received regular updates, photos, and could clearly see how loved and cared for our pup was while we were away. She didn’t just cover the basics; she truly invested time and attention into making sure he was happy, comfortable, and mentally stimulated with lots of playtime, enrichment, and snuggles. It was obvious she genuinely cared about him like he was her own. On top of that, she completely spoiled him and us by making sure his kennel stayed clean and even giving him a quick bath before out return! Coming home to a happy, clean, relaxed pup was such an incredible feeling. Reliable, thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly kind — we would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. At home, I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to a family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work another job so I’ll make sure I have time to care for your furry family members I can do late at night or early morning drop ins I will treat them like they are my own pets I will keep you updated and send pictures I will keep your furry family members safe
“Micaela was wonderful with my Theo from start to finish. I felt more than comfortable with her staying with him while I was away for the evening but it was so nice to see updates and photos throughout when I was able to check my phone. Gave me peace of mind so that I could focus on the event I was at. Follows instructions as noted. I highly recommend Micaela and will definitely be using her again. 😊”
About: I own a border collie and 2 elderly cats. I am home during the day and night. I am an avid hiker and love to take dogs for long walks in the woods. See my YouTube channel: LaceyhikesAT2026 to get to know me more. I am currently not working as I just returned from a 2200 mile hike and am looking to care for animals (as opposed to working in an office). I have availability and energy to deplete. I own my own home in rural area. My yard is nestled between a working farm and a horse pasture. I walk my border collie 3 times a day at minimum and often on trails in the woods. My animals roam free in my home and dog/cats (2 elderly) behave with confidence and happiness. My cats are indoor but one does get walked daily outside on a leash (at his insistence).
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old, and caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about. Over the years, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets by feeding them, letting them out for potty breaks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience rescuing and fostering dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and helping each dog feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m now the proud owner of Moose, my 4.5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, who gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats. Having a dog of my own has taught me so much about providing consistent, attentive care and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give every pet a loving, safe, and fun experience! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I love spending time outdoors, going on walks and hikes, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I prioritize being reliable and flexible so I can accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Whether it's a morning walk, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I enjoy making time to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing outside, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care needs. I also believe communication is important, so I love sending updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, loved, and at home!
About: With having a profession in animal care and living with dogs and cats my entire life, I have lots of experience taking care of pets. I, regularly, handle very friendly and very unfriendly/anti-social dogs and cats, which is very fun for me! I work full-time taking care of animals, but will be available after hours for at least a few hours most days and have most of Friday and Saturday available. I do not offer services in my own home, but I am able to offer every service in yours. I can walk, play with, and just interact with your animals in whatever way you need and if they do not socialize in those types of ways, that's alright too!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tipton
Whitney sent lots of pictures and my dog seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home. She did message me at one point asking if my mom could take care of my dog for one of the three evenings she was booked. My mom lives 1000 miles away so obviously this wasn't an option. It added a lot of stress to my the of my best friend's wedding to have to worry about whether I was going to have to scramble to find someone else, but she did end up saying she'd stay.

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 Tipton 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 Tipton 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 Tipton 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
