About: I worked as a professional dog trainer for many years. I have worked with all types of dogs. I also train and have experience with horses. My animals are my family and I will treat yours the same way. Feel confident leaving your fur-baby in the comfort of my home while you are away and trust that all of their needs will be meet. My animals live in my home with me and yours will be loved and cared for like my own. I am great at communicating and will accomadate special needs or requirements for your animals. I want to make your experience as stress free and positive as possible. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you with all your pet care needs!
“I heard from Kimberly every day of our booking and she included pictures regularly in her communication. I could tell that my animals felt safe and comfortable in her care. She went the extra step to reassure me about medications and picked up on storm anxiety with my dog and was thoughtful about providing him some extra comfort. She left the house straightened up and clean at the end of her stay as well. Thanks Kimmie!!”
“5 stars may not be enough. Where to begin? Liz came to our home for 10 days to house sit and sit with our newly rescued dog, who is a handful for being only 5.5 pounds. She (the dog) has not yet warmed up to people who come into our home. Liz went above and beyond in trying to establish trust with our dog. Liz also sent us daily updates with photos, which was super nice. Liz left our house as clean or cleaner than it was when she got there. We highly recommend her for House and Pet Sitting.”
“Kaci was great and we look forward to having her dog/house again many times! She sent updates and left the house spotless, which is always a nice thing coming back from vacation. Our dog loved her and was super happy staying with her!”
“Reed did a great job taking care of our older German Shepherds and house sitting for us. He took the dogs on walks and played fetch with them. I loved the pics he sent. Will definitely use him again!”
About: I have been raised around horses and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages; from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra support. I currently have two dogs of my own, both under the age of five, and I’m comfortable providing whatever level of care your dog may need. Your pets will always be treated with patience, attention, and plenty of love while they’re with me. Hello! I can offer in home care or drop ins. I work a 9-5 job, but I am available for in home care. I also can do drop ins if that is what you are needing. Feel free to message me if you have questions or concerns about my availability. I look forward to working with you! I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to play and run outside. I’m able to care for dogs both indoors and outdoors, and I can crate them if needed. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable environment during their stay.
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life, and I have taken care of the pets of friends. I have cared for my own senior dogs and have raised a rambunctious Labrador puppy. I participated in 4-H with my current dog, and volunteered with a Labrador Retriever rescue in Arizona for a few years. Currently, I work at a boarding facility for both dogs and cats, resulting in having worked with dogs of many different breeds, ages, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student at Oklahoma Wesleyan University, and I am currently job hunting, but I am very available. I am always available during nights to care for dog or cats, and I can always work early mornings and afternoons into my schedule. I am available for housesitting, and have no problem hanging out with the animals for long periods of time when it is necessary and when I have the time.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m attentive to routines, feeding and I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with senior care, cat care, even cows, chickens, and goats! I am currently back home from my seasonal job at a ski lift right now so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am very respectful of all wishes that clients will have. Whatever they would like me to do, I will ensure that it is done to the best of my ability!
“Stacy took exceptional care of my dog and cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on extra walks, hikes, and spent a lot of time with her. I’m very happy with her care and would recommend Stacy to anyone that wants a very happy puppy to come home to!”
“If I could leave a ten star review I would!! Troy was amazing and attentive to my elderly guys. Troy was timely and gave me several updates with pictures of my guys living their best life!!! Troy also washed the food bowls which to me was above and beyond. I never had to check in to see how my guys were doing because Troy updated me on such a timely and consistent manner. I will 1000% book Troy again to house and dog sit!!! Amazing care giver!!!”
“5/5 — Absolutely Amazing Experience with Rose! Rose was incredible! She took care of our pets for two weeks and went above and beyond every single day. She sent multiple updates and photos daily, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed my detailed written instructions perfectly and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. Not only is Rose professional and trustworthy, but she’s also thoughtful — she left our home spotless before she left! It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and I have experience cared for all breeds and personalities. I give love and I have patience. Pet care hours for me can be 1pm to 4pm Monday-Wednesday and all day Sunday, I’m currently a college football player who does this in his free time. Just to spend time with animals while not being busy with sports. When I take care of pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep your dogs dailyroutine consistent and stress-free. I respect your space and follow all your instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication or favorite toys. I believe dogs feel most comfortable in their own environment so I take extra care to make things feel normal while you’re away.
“Addie had great communication and took perfect care of all of our critters while we were on vacation for the week. As well as our house. All the pups and the cat loved her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Austin took great care of our high maintenance seniors. He hardly left them alone and took them on way more walks than we asked. He was super communicative and sent plenty of pics. He was also very respectful of our house.”
“Emma is outstanding! I debated on not reviewing to gate keep her for myself.. but as a nursing student that does such an awesome job it just wouldn’t be right to not help support her income. We did a Meet and Greet first, my first impression was she’s soft spoken and not easily excitable with barking dogs. I have 3 Pomeranians with all different needs and levels of medical care. I was so scared to leave my oldest who has outlived her life expectancy and has over 9 meds a day but Emma went above and beyond with every need. Seeing her not even flinch to clean up my oldest after every bathroom break, all the middle of the night needs, running in the house and playing with my younger two and even jumping in to care for my oldest with a possible seizure due to the stress. I could not be more grateful for her demeanor and care. When I needed her to stay with my oldest all day after the medical scare until we made our 13hr drive home she didn’t even hesitate! I know Emma will be a fantastic nurse with this level of consideration and care!!”

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 Vera 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 Vera 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 Vera 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.
