About: As a former special education teacher, I have a very open mind and ability to adapt. I come from an animal loving family and have had dogs, cats, and various rescues (from our yard!) all my life. We love them ALL. 🙂 I have an 11 year old rescue pitbull and a 2 year old cat, and have found so much joy in caring for my clients’ pets. I find it therapeutic and a nice way to break up my day as I am running a photography business. I have found that the two jobs go hand in hand. 🙂 I am a photographer, so a lot of my time is spent working from home. I set my own schedule, so I’m typically pretty flexible. I am open to learning your individual pet‘s needs! Feeding, walking, letting out, providing treats, etc. I am available for drop in visits and walks.
About: I have watched over my sister's 2 cats my mom has a dog, I watched him alot of weekends gave him his medicine and changed his diapers. I just moved here so my days are free, I am an animal person and have alot of free time so I have more then enough time to watch over your pets any time I don't have any pets, I was working to much so at least I will have alot of pets now. I'm pretty good with animals been around cats and dogs can handle them pretty well. Big or small as long as there not aggressive
“I can not say enough about how awesome Julie was! She kept my pups busy while we were away and we even came home to a clean house. She updated me frequently on how they were doing. I will definitely be having Julie back to watch my pups soon!”
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She watched our 4 month old puppy in our home for 5 nights. From the very beginning she was communicative and responded quickly. She did a meet and greet and spent so much time getting to know our puppy, Petals. Her love of animals was clear and Petals was very comfortable with her. Jennifer gave us pictures and updates and even did some training with Petals. We came home to a happy, well taken care of puppy and an immaculate house. She had even washed the sheets and towels and had the bed made for us. We highly recommend her and will definitely become repeat customers. Her professionalism and obvious love of her job made us feel very comfortable leaving our sweet puppy with her.”
“Anjil was amazing to work with! She was dependable and always communicated how our dog was doing. She was so sweet and also kept our house in perfect condition. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Hello! Thank you for your interest! When income to your house your pet will be greeted with a smile and open arms or structure and confidence depending on what they need, I understand all pets are unique in their own way. I have 4 years vet tech experience behind me and 2 years into owning my own farm currently. Let me know where I can help out with your pet! I currently own a farm. I absolutely love taking care of animals. I find it very rewarding to be around not only my animals but to also know I'm helping out others. I Am a very aware person. I'm constantly thinking and looking for anything that an animal could get into, harm itself in any way etc.- if you think you thought of it... I've thought of 100 other ways or what-ifs?
“Ashlyn was great!! Had to go out of town for my nieces wedding and did not have to worry about all of my fur babies being well loved and cared for. She kept me updated the entire time.”
“Kristin is outstanding. She came over before watching them to get them used to her, and she took such good care of my needy babies. She kept me informed the entire time we were away, sent photos, and asked questions. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I am very young and have been a competitive dancer since the age of 3 and i go to college now in Los Angeles for dance and walking dogs, hiking, being active is my favorite thing to do and id do all of those things with an animal before a person lol. I promise you are in the best hands when your animal is with me. I am home from school for break and have so much free time on my hands! I could walk or watch your dog for as long as you need and more! I will have them with me at all times and make sure they are never out of sight. I have their entire schedule on my phone so that nothing is forgotten and of course i give them all my love.
“Claire has been a lifesaver for our family and her expertise with all our animals has been priceless. We have a total of 5 pets both cats and dogs. They immediately love her and treat her as if they have known her for years. She has performed house sitting for us for extended periods of time on long trips and our home and pets have been so well taken care of we can’t thank her enough. We do not have to worry when gone for long periods of time. She is awesome!”
“She has been my go-to sitter for years and my dogs love her. She always is very communicative and keeps me updated on everywhere and sends me pictures of my dogs being dorks and showing how happy they are”
About: I’ve been around dogs/cats since i was able to walk, I absolutely adore any animal i cross paths with because they show nothing but unconditional love. When family members/friends/coworkers take vacations etc I am always the first to be asked because they know i will give their fur baby the best care while they are away. I’m a 911 dispatcher & tend to have days off during the week/weekends. I can be found helping tend to puppies with my dad, which can be quoted the handful, hanging out with his outside kitty’s or being a couch potato with my roomies dog at home. My dog Athena is 4 yrs old, she is kennel trained, potty trained & knows all the basic commands, along with being the best dog anyone could ask for. A lot of people say it but my animals are quite literally my entire world, so if the opportunity ever arose where someone trusted me to watch their animals, i wouldn’t hesitate to show the sweet babies so much love & care!
About: I have been walking dogs since I was 12 years old. I have also been dog sitting since I was in high school. I have dog sat for friends, family, employers, and specifically dog sitting clients. I have experience spending overnights in the owner’s homes caring for their beloved pets, including feeding and bathing dogs. I also have experience fostering puppies, which I do for a local animal shelter. I also have owned dogs for most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I currently work full-time, but I will have plenty of time on the weekends for boarding, walking, playing, and caring for your loving animals. I am also open to doing weekdays/nights if your pets are house trained for me to be able attend work. This would include long morning walks before and after my workday. I have a fenced in yard and I also have two of my own friendly dogs that could keep your pet comfortable, or if you would prefer my dogs can go to their grandmothers and your dog can have the house to themselves. I have a “dog room” set up in my house, which includes protective flooring for accidental messes, a dog friendly couch, and camera monitoring system. It is also gated. I also have the ability to crate your loving pet if needed. I have an xl crate, so you wouldn’t need to bring one. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of your space and always clean up after myself. You will often return home with washed linens and tidied space. I will abide by any rules you set and am always easily able to get in touch with during my stay in your home. I provide daily photo/video updates of your fur baby.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I am a proud cat owner who understands that pets are family.

About: I care for every dog like my own pets. I pay close attention to detail. I love to always give my best service to any and every client. I'm currently working part-time at a carwash.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Vance 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 Vance 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 Vance 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
