“Kimberly was exceptional. One of our two dogs became very sick while we were away and she coordinates getting him the emergency without complaint. Considering the mess she had to clean, she went above and beyond. Communication was excellent and she left the house clean. We would highly recommend her and use her again!”
“Matthew took great care of our little Frenchie! It makes a huge difference for us when we travel and know that Ranger will be well loved and taken care of. It’s also wonderful to come back to a clean house just the way we left it. Thank you Matthew!”
“Grace did an amazing job taking care of both our dog and our home! Grace’s little pup Benji joined her when she stayed in our home and took care of our 10 month old puppy, Scout. After an initial meeting with Grace and Benji, I knew the digs would get along great and Grace would be an excellent caretaker. The experience was beyond my best expectations. Benji and Scout became great friends and Grace kept me posted as they got to know each other. Grace sent photos and updates often and kept me very informed about how Scout was doing. The visit went perfectly and i came home to a perfectly clean house plus a happy, fulfilled puppy. I will definitely ask Grace and Benji to come back to visit Scout soon!”
“Leeah was amazing with our dog Coco. Coco requires a lot of love, attention, and play and Leeah was so good at providing that for our girl. Leeah was communicative, very respectful of our home, and arguably left it cleaner than we left her with it! Thanks again!! We will have her back anytime 😄”
“Chris was awesome! Our dogs took right to her and the house looked great! She was comfortable when meeting our boisterous dogs and very punctual. She also sends great pics! We will definitely continue booking with Chris!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog buddy since I was 15, my cats since I was 14 and I used to take care of my neighbors dog, I use he/him pronouns. I pet sit for members of my family and people around the neighborhood, my hours are flexible I’m able to meet requirements of any family or client. I would always make sure the animal I’m taking care of is fed, hydrated and taken out for the bathroom or walks, I’m fully backgrounded and have very good references.
“Amazing job with our pets and taking care of the house! The pets all love having Trisha watch them and she always leaves the house so clean and perfect! Also does a great job with my dog who needs medication for epilepsy.”
About: Hello! I have dog-sat, cat-sat, and taken care of just about any animal of friends and family since I was 12 years old (I'm 26 now)! I'm new to setting up an account on rover.com but I have been loving dogsitting/catsitting (you name it!) for all of my life! One of my favorite things to do is to is spend time with animals and make sure they are being cared for in every way! I would love to spend time and take care of your pet, and will always do it to the best of my ability. As I mentioned before, I’ve been taking care of pets for the majority of my life and have been known in my neighborhood as the girl to go to to housesit and pet sit. Let me take your worries away by taking care of your pet and your house! See ya soon! I am currently a student getting my Masters Degree in Education. My schooling allows me to have plenty of free time to take care of pets, and by rebooting my rover I’m hoping to be able to provide my time for your pets and how their schedules work! I always like to make sure I am taking great care of your pet, and following any rules or guidelines given to me. I will make sure your pet is safe and happy at all times!
“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my house. She communicated well and kept me informed about how well my cat was eating and really tried to interact with Bumper to “win her over.” I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life, taking care of cats, dogs, ferrets, bunnies, chickens, and even hedgehogs! My specialty is kitties and I will care for your pet just as I care for my own. I am a full time college student so availability can easily be fit around my classes. On breaks I have open availability. I am open minded to various schedules and I can work with early mornings as well. I can scoop litter daily, I have experience with wood pellet litter, surefeed pet feeders, various medication administration including subcutaneous fluid injections, and overall I just love playing with kitties and giving them love and attention.
“Stef wasn't available but was able to set us up with her partner, Lacey. Both of them stay connected and kept us updated on our senior dog. They were both really calm people so I think that helped a lot with my easily agitated dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work with different schedules and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I’m looking to take on as many pet care opportunities as I can! I take pet safety and comfort seriously and always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated with patience. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and keep pets in a clean, safe environment. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and grew up with both. I fully trained my own Australian Shepherd myself, he’s now a well behaved, house trained, friendly dog who’s great with people, other dogs, and cats. That hands on experience taught me a lot about basic obedience, high energy breeds, and consistent routines. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs overnight, so I’m comfortable with multi dog households, different sizes and breeds, and administering medications when needed. What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet like my own and keep owners completely in the loop. You’ll get regular updates with photos, videos, and short reports so you always know how your furry baby is doing. My Aussie is high energy, so I know how to channel that energy positively. Guests enjoy a big backyard for play and potty breaks, a morning trip to the dog park (about an hour of fun), and an afternoon hike or long trail walk. I focus on exercise, structure, and plenty of one on one attention so pets feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care is fully built into my daily routine. As soon as we wake up, everyone goes straight to the backyard for a potty break, then they get half their breakfast. After that we head to the dog park for about an hour of play, come home to finish breakfast, and spend the rest of the morning relaxing or playing in the large backyard. In the afternoon we go on a trail walk or hike, then come back for dinner. Evenings are calm time at home. I work from home, so I’m usually right there with them throughout the day. I also have cameras so I can check on them anytime. But overall the dogs are rarely left alone. Because this is already how I structure every day with my own high energy Aussie, boarding dogs fits in seamlessly, same consistent schedule, plenty of exercise, lots of attention, and reliable supervision. I also send regular photos and videos so owners always know how their pets are doing. I care for all pets in my own home, where safety and comfort come first. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can play, potty, and relax freely. My Australian Shepherd lives here and is friendly with other dogs, so guests are introduced carefully and supervised until everyone is comfortable. I work from home so I am always present. I also have cameras so I can check on the dogs at any time. Pets are rarely left alone. I treat every guest exactly like my own dog, consistent routine, plenty of exercise, medication when needed, and lots of attention. I keep the house clean and calm, and I send regular photos, videos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease.
About: I’ve been a babysitter and dog / cat sitter for as long as I can remember. I have really strong references for all. I’m used to palm sized dogs up to great danes! No dog too big or small :) I’m typically based in Paris, France, but am in Seattle awaiting my next visa. And in the meantime , i’m doing my 200hr yoga teacher certification that is 9a-4p on the weekends , so I’m very open Mon-Fri and can be flexible on the weekends. I have no pets at my house, but it’s very pet friendly as we used to have a dog and my sister brings her dog over occasionally. We have a fenced in yard and live by a lake for long walks.
“Teresa is an incredible pet sitter by making sure my 10.6 year old Great Dane is her priority when watching her. Including giving her lots of love, walks, and following any special care instructions. While also providing me ongoing updates and photos.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Preston
Sebastian came in at the very last minute to save us from having to cancel our trip from another sitter who got sick. He did everything we asked of him and was excellent with all the animals. Dogs , cat, and fish were well cared for and pictures came when we asked. Hands down we would use Sebastian again! We are very happy. Maureen
Juan was great with our dog and cat. He was able to give them their meds and pick up after them. The animals looked like they had a good time with him. He went above and beyond with caring for the animals and keeping our house clean. We would definitely book with Juan again.

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 Upper Preston 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 Upper Preston 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 Upper Preston 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.
