“Dmytro and Katya took a great care of our pup Luna. The folks sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on her behavior. We returned home to a happy dog and a clean house. It was a pleasure to work with Dmytro and Katya”
“Payton was fantastic! Both of our animals were well cared for and completely relaxed when we arrived home. The house was sparkly clean. She sent us pictures and updates regularly. We would have her again in a heartbeat! Great sitter.”
“Dima was one of the best Rover experiences that I ever had, he was very attentive to details, on time, left home immaculate, and most importantly took care of the pups excellently! He kept us in the loop with the regular updates, and we felt very comfortable knowing the pups are in good hands! I highly recommend Dima for everyone looking for a Rover and I would definitely reach out to him for future pet sitting needs. Thanks again Dima!”
“Kyli was fantastic! Very communicative and professional. She was great with our overly friendly golden retriever and two cats that can often times be reclusive. Cats warmed right up to her and we got many photo updates. Highly recommend!”
“I'm so pleased that my first experience through Rover was with Junbo. During our meet-and-greet, I was surprised by how quickly my pup felt comfortable with her. During my weekend away, Junbo kept in frequent contact with me through texts, photos, and videos. I had every confidence my pup was in good hands, and I'll definitely be contacting Junbo again for my next trip.”
“Murou (DeeDee) was a fantastic house dog-sitter! Our beloved Luna was very well cared and she sent us lots of pictures and updates multiple times per day. Luna was super happy and we were very relieved to see her to be with great company! Very recommended, we will totally work with her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my energy and approach to fit any pet. Whether it's high-energy active play for dogs or calm, patient companionship for cats, I tune in closely to each animal's unique personality. Backed by my professional reliability and clear communication, you can count on me for meticulous care, punctuality, and treating every pet like family—no matter the species! My days are naturally centered around active movement and consistent routines, making it easy to integrate long walks, play sessions, and dedicated pet care seamlessly into my schedule. When caring for pets in your space, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. Whether it’s an energetic walk, indoor play, feeding, or medication administration, I arrive punctual and prepared, ensuring your home is respected and your pets are safe, happy, and stimulated.
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was very young, and officially at 9 years old when I got a little hands on experience caring for horses at my riding club. Then more hands on experience when I officially started volunteering at my club for 2 years. But more importantly, I have cat care, and dog care experience. I am responsible for my 2 kitties that I own and I have dog sat 2 puppers for a family friend in the recent past. Animals are a huge part of my life and it has been my dream to follow a career path based around animals ever since I was a little kid. I genuinely want more pet sitting experiences and I would love to care for as many fur babies as I possibly can. I work part time so I have lots of availability in my week to take care of your fur babies. During my available days which are Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, I am very flexible and will be ready to care for your pets at the times you need me to. To keep my kitties safe, my home is cat proofed and I am always on the look out for small objects, wrappers, or anything on the ground that might be dangerous for them. I will do the same in your home to make sure your pets are safe and sound. I will safely take your dogs on walks, feed them, and play with them based on the routine you would like me to follow. As well as any special feeding instructions they have. I will keep your puppers and kitties entertained and well fed. I will also clean their food and water dishes when needed and snuggle with them. I can adjust to whatever your pet needs based on their personality, energy level, or whatever they need in general.
“Tricia is our go to must have four legged family member sitter! Our two dogs love her and they get so much love and spoiling while we are away. We will be booking her again and hopefully every time we have to leave the pups behind.”
“My heart is overflowing with happiness! We have a large, reactive rescue dog, and Mayank was absolutely WONDERFUL with him. He quickly found the right approach to support our pup and build a genuine connection. Finding someone who is patient, strong, and supportive with a reactive dog isn’t easy, but Mayank exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be more pleased! We’re already looking forward to working with him again for future care—and even for walks! Highly recommend!”
“Maryna and her husband were amazing!!! They came by for a meet and greet before house sitting our pup and cat for 3 days, and took such great care to get to know them and their routine. Maryna also sent lots of updates and photos throughout their stay (which I really appreciated as someone who gets anxious leaving our little guys behind). They even took the time to take out the trash and do dishes before leaving. We will definitely be asking Maryna to pet sit for us again 😊”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Mikayla did a spectacular job taking care of Twyla! In our initial meet up she instilled in us a sense of calmness by sharing her experience with pets and asking all the necessary questions to ensure that she was doing a great job and was ready to take care of Twyla. We came back to a very happy Twyla!”
“Jen was so wonderful with our two dogs. She was so good with both and was responsive and easy to work with. She also took very good care of our home while we were away. We would recommend Jen to others and will book her again if schedules allow.”
“Veronika was great with Baxter. He was happy to see us but we could tell he was well loved and cared for by her. She sent pics and expressed a small concern (which we appreciated ) but turned out just fine. When we returned, it was like he was looking for her to walk in with us. We will definitely book her again.”
“Repeat stay with Christian coming and staying in my place with the dogs so they could keep their routine. As last visit, Christian did great. Dogs were happy, got plenty of play time and no issues for the dogs due to being able to stay home. The dogs love Christian. My bigger dog does not like people in her house and barks like crazy when folks visit. She meets Christian at the door, works out she knows him (and this was just their second stay with him) and she doesn't bark. Huge sign she is comfortable with him.”
“Lauren was great with all of our pets and was super responsive and flexible. She also took on other responsibilities outside of pet sitting. We will definitely have her care for our pets in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Union Hill-Novelty Hill
I wish a 10 star rating was an option!! Ashley is, hands down, the best catsitter we’ve ever had. We have two cats and asked Ashley to housesit with them while we left for our wedding/honeymoon. She gave the sweetest photo updates — we knew they were being treated like royalty. Not only that, but she took such fantastic care of our apartment while we were out (and even baked us bread for when we got home 🥹); a pet whisperer and just an all-around gem of a person!
Luke did a great job. The house was left immaculate and all the animals were well taken care of. I would have preferred better communication. I'm used to daily updates with pictures. I received one picture the entire week and any updates I had to initiate. He didn't stay over two of the seven nights. I would have preferred communication to that effect so I would be aware of this ahead of time as with previous dogs, this would have been a huge issue. Luckily with our current dog, she did ok but it was her first nights alone.

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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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.
