“Charlene helped me with a last minute request to sit my dog Bean and I couldn’t be happier. She was so gentle with my senior 14 yr old Shih Tzu that Bean fell in love with her immediately. She’s communicative and so caring! Anytime I need help with Bean I’m contacting Charlene! She’s 10/10.”
“Anne was 10/10. I was skeptical on using Rover for a long time but found myself on a pinch and went for it, and I’m so glad I did. Anne honestly cared for my 3 dogs as well as I do, my house was spotless when I got home and the dogs were all in great moods! I couldn’t be more appreciative to have found Anne and hope to book her again soon!”
“Mary Ann was amazing! She came for a meet and greet before booking and was very thorough. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I knew my Chuck was in great hands. Will definitely be using her again ♥️”
“Giselle is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond in every way. Our elderly cat, who is usually skittish with new people, took to, her right away. My dog Cody was smitten, and we felt at ease the whole time we were gone. The pictures we received each day were proof positive they were happy. Giselle has a real gift with animals. This was our very first Rover experience, and we hit the Jackpot with her!”
About: Growing up fostering rescue dogs from 11 hour rescue taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I work full-time and work from home on Fridays, so I’m very flexible and available Friday through Sunday. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for your pup! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always respect each pet’s individual needs.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a big family of pet lovers where dogs and cats were always running around, so caring for animals comes naturally to me! I currently have three dogs of my own, including my sweet 15 yr old yorkie and a lively tuxedo kitten. Because of my experience with my senior dog and my kitten, I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy kitten playtime to gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience or meds. As a nursing student, I bring a detail oriented, calm, and responsible approach to every visit, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. I am currently in nursing school, which gives me great availability in the afternoons and evenings for walkies, drop-in visits, feeding, and play sessions. I am also fully open and available for overnight house sitting! I make sure to structure my routine around your pet’s exact schedule so their day feels completely seamless. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and treat every animal like my own family. During house sitting or drop-ins, I stick strictly to your feeding, walking, and medication instructions, send frequent photos and updates, and ensure your home stays secure. My nursing background means I’m naturally attentive to subtle changes in energy, behavior, or comfort.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.
“Jessica and Gill were a dream come true for my geriatric, and quirky dogs. Every good thing that people say about them in these reviews was true--lots of amazing photos, very active with the dogs, communicative, responsible, great attitude, left the house in immaculate condition. We would definitely love to have them come again and stay with our dogs and house, it felt that they treated Ruby and Harry how we treat them, as beloved family members. We really couldn't give them a higher praise.”
“We have an anxious 15 year old dog who needs lots of love and anxiety medication, so finding the right person to take care of her while we are gone is hard. We had left our cat with Aletris before and she was awesome, so we decided to see how she and our dog would be together and we are over the moon with the care she gave our pup. Not only did my dog, Ellie eat THE WHOLE time we were away, but she was genuinely happy to see and be cared for by Aletris! We were on the other side of the world in Australia and then had a wedding as soon as we got back and every day we got beautifully detailed reports with pictures and videos of how our fur babies were doing! Not only that but she brought in our mail and our many many packages and also disposed of the trash for us that we had forgotten to take with us and you can leave it out because we have bears, so she physically took it with her. We even did weekly puppy play dates with her leading up to the trip so our doggo could get to know her before she came to pet sit for almost two weeks she as so patient with us and Ellie and we are just so incredibly grateful we found Aletris. 🥲♥️ She is the BEST pet sitter you will ever find! She genuinely cares about your pets and is fully transparent and has fantastic communication skills. All around amazing human with a huge heart! 10/10 would 100% recommend!!!!”
“Shandy and her husband Brian took great care of Jax! We felt he was in safe and caring hands with them. They shared frequent updates with pictures and we could tell he was warming up to them. Our house was left very clean. Jax looks forward to seeing them again!”
“If there were 10 stars ( 10 being the highest) , would get a 10. She was on time, provided updates, did the necessities and played with the pups. - and the place was clean. Would definitely book her again!”

Charlene is amazing! We couldn’t have left our fur baby in better hands. She’s so polite, responsible and trustworthy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 18,142 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Towaco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Towaco 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 Towaco 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 Towaco 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.

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.
