“Alyssa was amazing when taking care of my dog. I’m paranoid as can be when it comes to her care, Alyssa made it so simple and easy that I didn’t have to worry. She listened to the concerns we had around the dog and what she should expect and she handled them like a champ! I was worried my dog wouldn’t like a sitter but she loved Alyssa! We will definitely have her back again!”
About: Hello! i’m Faith i’m a Dog Bather. I have been for about two years now. I have also been house sitting for about the same amount of time. However, i was raised on horse and have previously house sat and watched horses as well. I do work as a bather during the week and i’m in college so i’m totally available on weekends and nights/evenings during the week days. I personally like to try to build and calm and trusting environment for each dog i interact with. I do also try to make sure that i’m setting clear boundaries and rules with every dog to start off.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I also worked at a doggy daycare for three years, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During that time, I learned so much about how dogs communicate through their body language and behavior, which has helped me better understand their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup is full of energy or just wants some extra cuddles, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and treating them like one of my own! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week! I would love to accept boarding mostly during the weekend. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep their daily routines as normal as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or just some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel happy and cared for. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own!
About: Besides the usual watching friends and families pets, I have had experience raising and caring for a kitten right from birth. I am very enthusiastic and catering towards all pet needs I currently work part time, leaving lots of time to spend taking care of your furry friends! Even when at work, I have a flexible schedule allowing me lots of time for extra attention As a pet watcher, they are my first priority. Both their safety and general wellbeing are put first and I aim to keep them as happy as you do!
About: I have two Australian shepherds of my own who I have trained. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have looked after other people's dogs big or small, young or old. I am available all hours of the day, 7 days a week. I understand that life happens and things come up quick. I am always available. I have two trained dogs of my own that I love to death, I will treat your dogs as if they are my very own.
“We were very happy to have Sydney agree to watch our dog last minute, and over a holiday weekend. She also was able to fit in a meet and greet ahead of time. This was very important to us as we have a shy dog. She stayed three nights, leaving our house in great condition. She sent pictures each day as well. Thank you for a great job!”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was a child! My husband and I have a rescue German Shepherd, his name is Kiba. He is 3. We have 3 kids. I have a dog and a cat! So taking care of animals is a part of my regular routine. But I'm also a stay-at-home-mom of 3 kids. So I'm home a lot and have the time! I've worked in many people's homes in the past, not with animals, and I'm very respectful of peoples spaces. I'm there to do a job and love your animal while you're busy! The same in my home, they'll be there to be loved when you can't!
“I was soooo nervous leaving my dogs with someone they didn’t know, we had to leave for almost a week and Marissa watched our home and pets for us. Amazing would be an understatement!!! She kept in touch daily with photos and texts, always making sure I knew things were being well handled. She asked questions about things I didn’t even think of, like what day our garbage goes out and if I wanted her to get the mail etc. she left the house in great condition and was so kind and sweet to the dogs, pretty sure they didn’t even miss us!!!! Highly recommend Marissa!”

I'm grateful I found Christine here for Jasper, since relocating to Idaho Falls. She especially and her husband Clint were welcoming, very receptive and attentive to Jasper the week he had with them! I felt he was well cared for, kept safe, loved on, and included well in their family! Thank you so much! I'm most appreciative!
Bailee took care of my 3 cats and 1 dog for 8 days and was amazing the whole time. She was dependable, caring, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My pets were happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of when I got home. I could tell they got a lot of attention and love. I would absolutely have Bailee watch my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

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 Ucon 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 Ucon 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 Ucon 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.
