“Ariana did an amazing job. She was very proactive with status updates and kept me informed daily about everything Dexter was up to. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing my dog was in good hands. 10/10, will book again.”
About: I understand how nerve wracking it is to trust someone new to take care of your fur babies. My goal is to give you peace of mind and treat them like one of my own. I have taken care of my own, neighbors, and friends pets for years and am looking to expand while in school! You can expect open communication, frequent updates, and plenty of enrichment (of course some funny photos too)! I will be in school Tuesday and Thursday nights for 2 1/2 hours. Once I get the swing of things I will expand my schedule:). I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. I make sure each pet’s individual routine and needs are followed, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from their owner. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention and companionship while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and well cared for!
“Brad did an amazing job watching my anxious dog Scooby and my cat Tuna for the weekend. He was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and had their needs met, like reinforcing training and ensuring plenty of playtime and pets. He even took my dog on an adventure to the woods, which my dog loves. Would definitely have him watch my pets anytime!”
“Pazao was and is a dream! She took the BEST care of our almost 4 year old English Bull Terrier and we couldn’t have asked for more! She also house sat during her time with Biggie Duane and we are so thankful for the peace her care brought to us. If we could give a 10 star review we would! Thank you Pazao for everything!”
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Our little Molly is 18, hard of hearing and has poor eyesight. Despite her age, she still goes up and down the staircase to our bedroom where she spends most of her time. Given her needs, we looked for a stay-in caretaker. Alyssa was a great fit because she works remotely so she was able to work from our house. She took wonderful care of Molly and kept us informed on how things were going so we were able to enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog, a clean and tidy house, laundered linens, plus a lovely vase of flowers and thank-you note. We will definitely reach out to Alyssa the next time we travel!”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Kaya has been excellent with our dogs. Always punctual and polite and our new puppy loves her despite generally being very nervous. Kaya has a gentle spirit, good energy as soon as you meet her.”
“Genesis was so great with our puppy Bentley. She played with him, helping him expend some of his puppy energy, took him on plenty of potty breaks and gave him chew toys for teething. She had great communication and came by our place for a meet and greet beforehand.”
About: I have a 9 year old golden retriever, a 9 year old German Shepherd and a 9 month old Belgian Malinois puppy of my own and have many years of experience caring for friends and family’s animals as well. I have experience working with up to 15 dogs in a dog day care outdoor play setting as well!! I love all animals! I love to get out of the house and take my own dog out for walks, trips to the lake and hikes! I work very well with dogs and all animals, it brings me happiness to be able to take care of them. I am more than willing to take your dog out for long walks, throw a ball for them and make sure they get all their energy out! I am comfortable with all breeds and do best with small-medium sized dogs, although I am willing to care for larger dogs as needed. I have plenty of experience with animals and would love to be able to help you out! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to help your pups get all their energy out! I am available most days after 1 pm, but my schedule is very flexible! My dogs are able to be out loose in my apartment when I am gone, but I have experience with crating them while I am gone. I want to make sure it is a positive experience for the pups so whatever the owner and dog are most comfortable with is what works for me :)
“Cherokee was awesome! We would definitely use her again. She was a great communicator and took good care of our elder dog, Finley for over a week while we were on vacation. The house was very clean when we got back so we could tell that she treated our house and dog like they were her own.”
“Ashanta was an INCREDIBLE sitter! She took great care of our home, and most importantly...our entire furry family! She has a genuine care & love for your pets, you can feel it. Our pets were happy & loved while we were away, she kept us updated every single day with updates & pictures, and our house looked better when we got back then when we left! You will not regret choosing Ashanta to take care of your crew!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m no stranger to the work that comes with taking care of them. I’ve helped care for entire puppy litters and have experience with end of life care as well. Over the years, I’ve been around dogs at all stages of life and have learned that no two dogs are exactly alike. I’m comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s pet, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your dog. I have a flexible work schedule and can handle most of my work from home or my phone, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my daily routine. I can plan my day around visits, walks, feeding, and spending time with your pet, while making sure they get the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet is cared for in a safe, familiar environment. I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated during visits and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I have a dog of my own, so I’m mindful of making sure every pet is comfortable and safe when boarding. If your pet isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I can easily arrange for my dog to stay with family so your pet can have their own space.
“Silas was magnificent with my dogs. They don't always take the strangers very well but Silas put them at ease very quickly. I was gone for a week and I was able to relax because I felt like they were in good hands.”
“Brian and Katherine are both fantastic! My dogs love seeing them and I feel confident in their abilities to look after them well. They are great with communication and super reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for a second.”
“Todd was great! I had him stay at my house with my cat, Tobias, while I was away for a few days and I loved getting the update photos. I'm not away from my cat for long periods of time so I know Tobias enjoyed having someone to hang out with. My cat will sometimes have stomach issues and Todd proved to be very caring and understanding when I would check in about it. My house looked the same way when I left it and would definitely book him again! Thank you again, Todd.”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. Because I work from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, allowing me to offer unmatched attentiveness and flexible scheduling throughout the day. Being steps away at all times means I am always available to maintain strict medication timelines, monitor health cues, and provide companionship whenever it's needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! When caring for your pets in their own home, my absolute priority is maintaining their familiar routine, comfort, and security while ensuring they remain safely inside. Because my own fur babies are inside-only apartment pets, I am naturally vigilant about home safety, secure entryways, and preventing any accidental escapes. I focus on replicating their exact daily schedules, from precise feeding and medication times to their preferred play and rest windows. By providing dedicated, one-on-one attention in the environment where they feel most confident, I ensure they receive both the physical care and the comforting companionship they need to feel completely relaxed and happy while you are away.
About: I’ve lived my whole life with animals. From ducks to dogs, there isn’t much I haven’t experienced. My calm and loving nature invites all animals in with confidence. I am confident with all sizes and demeanors. I am mama to an 85lbs lab named Benji and a 15lbs cavalier King Charles named Willow. Pet care is not just a service I offer; it is an essential, non-negotiable part of my daily life. As the owner of a dog named Benji, my schedule is already built around providing consistent, attentive, and loving care. This personal experience ensures that I understand the importance of routine, patience, and vigilance when caring for your pet. When caring for your pet in your own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine to minimize stress and anxiety. I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk routes, medications, and household rules. I prioritize home security by ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked, and I treat your living space with the utmost respect, always leaving it clean and exactly as I found it.

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 Vaughn 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 Vaughn 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 Vaughn 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.
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.
