“Robin stayed in our home for 5 days/4 nights and was WONDERFUL. She communicated so well, asked all the right questions, returned a clean home to us, and obviously took amazing 🤩 care of our 5 dogs and 4 sheep. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
About: I've had pets my whole life. I also worked at a dog groomers, where I learned how to care for others' dogs aside from my own. I am patient and really love animals! I have my own business where I mostly work from home so my schedule is generally up to me. I also have a dog so I have time set aside for taking care of him. I have a backyard and a friendly, calm dog to keep them company. We can also keep them in separate rooms if needed. I can crate your dog if they feel safer there.
“Excellent, excellent, excellent. Our dogs adore Miss Elly, and our home is always tidy and clean when we get back! We feel so safe traveling knowing that our babies are being well looked after!”
“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals (guinea pigs, fish) for over 10 years. Growing up there was always an animal around and I loved every second of it. I've given meds, insulin, and shots, so I have a lot of experience with all the parts of animals, not just the fun ones. I have over 10 years of experience helping my mom's Rover account where hundreds of dogs have come through our doors into our home while also pet sitting various friends and colleagues. I am a freelance photographer and videographer, so if I am not out on a shoot or at a meeting, then I am home and able to love on all the pets! I have the flexible schedule of someone who works from home. I want to make sure that the pets environment is as seamless as possible as when you are home. I do my best to follow all instructions so that they are not just comfortable at their home, but feel like you are still here!
“Highly recommend!! We absolutely loved Jaiden! First time ever using Rover. We were apprehensive about having a stranger come stay at our home while we were out of town. Jaiden was a great communicator, came over to our house and spent some time meeting with us and our pets and came back one more time to get the key. Our dogs immediately loved him and we did too. Jaiden is a wonderful young man, and we will absolutely use him again.”
About: My parents still love telling the story of when they told me I was going to have a baby brother. I looked them straight in the face and said, “I don’t want a human, I want a puppy!” Safe to say not long after, I got my very first dog, Bella, when I was four years old. From that moment on, Bella was my best friend. We grew up together, and wherever I went, she was right beside me. She taught me what unconditional love, patience, and responsibility look like. After an incredible 15 years together, I had to say goodbye to my sweet girl, but the love she gave me is the reason I care so deeply about every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, sticking to a senior dog’s routine, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were part of my own family. Although I work full-time, pet care fits naturally into my routine. I make time before and after work for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for longer visits, exercise, and quality time. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to stick to their normal routine and provide reliable, loving care while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as consistent as possible. Before caring for your pet, I’ll make sure I understand their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if any), favorite toys, and any quirks or preferences they have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and attention while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they’ll receive lots of attention and affection. I always prioritize their safety, monitor them closely, and make sure they feel relaxed and at home. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, secure, and well cared for until they’re back with their family.
About: I have personally owned a dog since I was at least 11, sometimes multiple dogs at a time. While I have only ever personally owned large dogs like Great Danes and German Shepherds, I have taken care of neighbors and family members dogs as small as chihuahuas. So either big or small, the size of the furry friend does not matter to me. I have fed, walked, bathed, and just generally taken care of more dogs in my life than I could keep track of. Plenty of friends and family have relied on me for their dog caring needs while they have been at work or out of town. I am currently working full time, in customer service, but I have a background and previous job experience in law enforcement. So if it’s a safe and reliable person you’re looking for then I’m the perfect fit. I’m available all days of the week before or after work to take care of your pets! My schedule changes weekly so the hours will slightly very. While my current place of residence isn’t the most extravagant for an animal ( I am a broke, apartment-living, college student after all), I love making any furry friends just as comfortable in their own home as if they had known me forever. I try to make it so that anything your pet is used to, does not change simply because I am there.
About: I have worked with a variety of different animals my entire life large and small with a variety of different needs. I look to provide the care that you expect for your fur babies. I currently own my own business so it allows me to have a flexible schedule in being able to help out others. My schedule allows me to be there when I am most needed. Creating a safe enviroment and fostering trust is important to me as it can help build a working relationship with others and make sure you are feeling secure when finding a pet sitter.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life, having grown up on a farm in Alabama which was home to various stray (then adopted) animals! I was a doggie mom for 13 years to a handsome Jack Russell Shi Tzu mix who passed away last year. I would be honored to care for your pet while you're away! Please note: Ideal for dogs who are comfortable while their owners are at work or who can be left alone during the day. I work full-time Monday–Friday, so I accept house sits that fit around my work schedule while providing attentive morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care. Ideal for dogs who are comfortable while their owners are at work or who can be left alone during the day. I work at an office 9am-4pm on weekdays, so I accept house sits that fit around my work schedule while providing attentive morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care. I will take good care of your pets and home while you are away. I will make sure pets are comfortable and loved, and follow all owner instructions for care. I can also provide light cleaning, watering plants, and bring in the mail during my stay.
“Tyler was absolutely amazing. We have a dog who is has bad separation anxiety and him and Tyler connected instantly. He was great with sending pictures and kept the house so clean, so when we came back it looked better than when we left. Will definitely use him again and highly recommended.”
“Giovanni has watched my senior dog for years and he easily adapted to our newest addition another rescue. Going on trips out of state with him watching my girls gives me comfort knowing they are in good hands.”
“Ashley was great and did a wonderful job at our house. Everything was in its place when we returned and our pups seemed to be relaxed and happy to have had the attention. We even have a dog who has some accidents due to age, and she let us know about it and cleaned everything up. She communicated with us consistently with questions or concerns, and we were never left wondering how things were going. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Ashley again and would recommend her to others.”

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 Unionville 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 Unionville 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 Unionville 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.
