“Sejla did a stellar job caring for our 3 cats and puppy during our week away. She is very caring, trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional. She has an innate way with animals, giving them a lot of attention and love. She kept us informed and sent pictures and updates every day which we loved. She cared for our fur-babies and our home like they were her own, and because we didn’t worry our vacation was that much better. Our pets love Sejla and so do we! We will be repeat clients for sure!!”
About: Have been caring primarily for cats and some elder dogs since 2020. Friends, neighbors, and family know I am the go to person for all their pet sitting needs. Currently living at home with my parents and am available 7 days a week and for a wide variety of hours. Devoting my time caring for your pets. Very good at following your instructions for feeding, brushing, as well as litter box refresh and other "accident" clean up. I particularly enjoy the "Playful Activities" part of caring for your fur baby.
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING with our pets! My Maverick is not the easiest dog to come around as a stranger, but Elizabeth managed to establish a good rapport with him. She took notes during our first meet and greet which went a long way in giving us peace of mind while we were away. We came back to a spotless house, and she provided updates on the pets just the right amount… Not too often and not only when I asked. I am usually very nervous when I spend more than a few days away from the fur babies, but Elizabeth made it so easy to feel secure knowing my babies were in good hands. THANK YOU, Elizabeth! 10/10 will be booking again!”
“Michelle was fabulous. She both took great care of our pets and our house. Communication was excellent. We're super excited to have her sit for our pets again in the future!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Etta. She did a wonderful job caring for our 2 year old dog and 4 cats while we were away for 5-1/2 days. She sent us pictures and updated us regularly. She was very flexible and easy to communicate with. We appreciate her. We would definitely recommend Etta and will use her again if needed.”

I can be there for the whole day, pop in for play and food, or go for long walks. I'm practical, reliable and always punctual. I'll leave your home as you left it and take such good care of your pets with whatever they need.
“Sometimes he does it in the backyard. Before the walk. I’m really glad to hear he’s doing well. And having fun. I’ll be heading home and arriving around… I can’t remember, maybe around eight or 8:30 PM. But no worries whenever you have to takeoff. He’ll be fine. Thanks again! Talk to you soon.”

I can not take any more pets into my home, but would love to do sittings and take care of pets at clients homes! *
“Morgan saved us from a terrible situation with another sitter while we were in another country. She came into a situation that we didn’t understand nor did we have visibility to the state of our apartment. It was bad. Morgan worked with us and our dog tirelessly while dealing with a disgusting apartment from our previous sitter. She helped coordinate with a cleaner and she helped coordinate with my friend to check on our dog. She sent endless photos and updates. She was incredibly communicative, thorough, and we truly cannot recommend her enough. If you want peace of mind, choose Morgan.”
“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
“Brianna is an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs, including my 15-year-old senior pup, with incredible responsibility—always on time, following every instruction, and keeping us updated. Her patience with my older dog was amazing, ensuring he felt comfortable and loved. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, treating my dogs like family. Brianna’s flexibility was a lifesaver, easily adjusting to any changes. Most importantly, her trustworthiness gave me complete peace of mind. Thank you for Brianna!”
About: You deserve complete peace of mind while away, and it should be a vacation for your pets, too. I work from home, have no pets of my own, and only take one client at a time, so your pet is guaranteed a calm environment and my 100% undivided attention. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family because I am highly reliable and observant. Having cared for dogs and cats since middle school, I’m deeply passionate about animal wellness. I excel at reading a pet's body language and noticing the small things, allowing me to quickly adapt to their needs and keep them completely comfortable in my home. Since I work from home, looking after a dog fits right into our day. I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pup, and I am used to doing morning and evening walks, with fetch breaks throughout the workday. I always stick closely to whatever instructions you leave to make sure your dog stays on their usual routine and feels right at home. I mostly care for pets in our own home, where I have a secure, fenced yard and plenty of space inside for them to relax and get comfortable. Because I work from home, they get constant supervision and plenty of potty breaks. Every pet is different, so I am super flexible and always stick strictly to whatever routine, feeding schedule, or rules you have in place to make sure they feel right at home.
“Tiana was really wonderful. This was the first time we had booked with her for a house sitting and pet sitting. She was professional, kind, very communicative and really took great care of our babies. She sent photos, videos and updates regularly in just 24 hours. She proactively brought in our mail. Our home and our 3 pets were very well cared for. We most certainly will book with her again and encourage you to do the same!”
“Hannah went above and beyond caring for our dogs. She gave them lots of attention, sent an appropriate amount of pics/updates and left our house clean. Our dogs were calm and happy when we got back from our trip which is always a great sign!”
“Rachel was fantastic. She started communicating before even arriving which is wonderful because it’s clear she cares. While we were gone she sent frequent photos and updates. Rachel was very thoughtful when taking our dog for walks (cognizant of the neighborhood dogs and owners). Our babies were well cared for and we are so thankful.”
“Kaili was great! She watched our two large dogs for two nights at our home, and we couldn’t have been happier. Our dogs have a lot of energy and definitely come with their own quirks, but she handled them so well. She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!”
“Thank you so much for caring for Pliny. You went above and beyond. Thanks for walking her and playing with her, and helping her feel comfy while we were gone. And the special gift of framed pics was really sweet!”

Amanda and Melanie were the absolute best people I could have found to take care of my little tripawd. Chia can be a bit slow to warm up to new people, but she was treating them like family before I even left. They have major dog mom energy and took the absolute best care of my baby. They sent pictures every day, played cartoons when they were gone, and Chia made two new best friends. I think she was actually a little disappointed to see me come home! Don’t look anywhere else, they are THE BEST!!!
Melanie is an absolute godsend. I was looking for a last minute sitter to stay with my special tripawd who can be a little timid with new people. Melanie sent me pictures every day, and at the end even sent an entire album! Chia was so sad to see her leave—when I came home I saw that she left cartoons on for her. Melanie is so incredibly kind and I will never go with another sitter again! She’s like a second mom to Chia after only 2 visits. And that isn’t typical. I think she must be some sort of dog whisperer. If you want someone to treat your baby like you would—with as much care and love and joy as you give to your baby—book Melanie! She’s INCREDIBLE
Cassidy is an Amazing cat sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and our three cats, balancing the needs of our two seniors with the non-stop energy of our kitten. She handled every cat mess without hesitation and treated all three with as much love and affection as we do. Cassidy kept us updated throughout her stay, giving us complete peace of mind. We returned home to happy, relaxed cats and a pristine house. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
Sophie was nice enough to come meet our dogs before she watched them the first time, making sure she was prepared to take the best care of them possible. She communicated clearly and did a perfect job watching our two pups. She checked in frequently and shared photos of our dogs as well. Sophie is great and would be a great sitter for all pets!
Ava was so amazing with our three pets. She stayed in our home to watch our dog and two cats. I had never left our dog with anyone except family, so I was nervous going in. Ava was so wonderful with all three animals, and sent frequent updates so I didn’t have to worry if they were okay. She handled our stubborn dog and picky senior cats with so much patience and flexibility. Our time away went so smoothly because of how wonderful she was. We couldn’t recommend her more and will be booking her again the next time we go out of town!
Kseniia was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we met her, we knew our Labrador, Sandy, was going to be in wonderful hands. Kseniia stayed at our home while we were away and took exceptional care of Sandy. She made sure Sandy got lots of walks, plenty of love and attention, and all the care she needed. It was so reassuring to receive updates and photos, and we could tell Sandy was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we came home, Sandy was relaxed, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Our house was also spotless and exactly as we left it. It gave us such peace of mind knowing both our home and our beloved dog were being looked after by someone so kind, responsible, and trustworthy. We are incredibly grateful to Kseniia and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and truly outstanding pet sitter. Thank you, Kseniia, for taking such wonderful care of Sandy—we can't wait to have you watch her 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 Vasona Junction 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 Vasona Junction 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 Vasona Junction 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.
