“Porter was awesome with the dogs! We can tell they had a great time with him. I really appreciated his flexibility and even the offer to let the dogs out later in the day if we ran into trouble with travels! Overall just wonderful and so glad to have found someone so trustworthy for our pups!”
“She was amazing with our Collie. Both dogs got along well. Walks 2 times daily. She left our home cleaner than it was when we left. She’s very attentive and even pulled off our tomatoes from our plants. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Annelise was one of the best cat sitters we've had and we've had a lot of cat sitters. She was so thorough and self sufficient. She immediately had a connection with our cat and was more than able to provide all the senior cat care she needed. Our house was like we never left. We knew Nala was in good hands the moment we met her. Definitely will be inviting her back!”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience helping out at residences when pet parents are unavailable. I have been responsible for numerous high demand pet situations including; agressive guard dogs, seniors & cancer patients, dogs in heat, huge Newfoundland puppies, tiny dogs that are biters and won't let you touch them, as well as cats, as well as full on farms and aquariums. Above all you will hear from my clients that their pets were incredibly loved while receiving my care and that every pet gets exercise if they want it since I absolutely LOVE long walks and hikes myself. I am a wellness coach and make my own hours and so I fit dog walking and pet sitting in as needed and whenever I can. I am presently not offering that pets come to my home, but if I come to your home I will follow your lead and any instructions you give me. I leash pets for walks unless specifically instructed not to do so by the owners and I clean up hair and sanitary waste on a regular basis as well.
“We got daily updates on Millie for the almost 2 weeks we were out of town for our wedding. Millie was excited to see Dustin when he arrived, which of course makes us happy and comfortable to see. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
“What a wonderful cat sitter!!! Our cats LOVED her, even our shy boy. She was incredibly communicative, sent loads of pictures and looked after my plants. Really great cat sitter, highly recommend, will use again.”
About: I have had animals my entire life growing up and have always loved them. I know how to take care of pretty much every domesticated animal there is! I currently work full-time. But I am able to leave at lunchtime to go spend some time with the animals and I don't start till 9 so I have plenty of time to get a morning walk in. I live on 5 and an half acres and currently have three friendly doodles. Who would be happy to hang out with a friend for the weekend.
“Haylee was wonderful. She was attentive during the meet and greet while I showed her around and how to care for the dogs. She was prompt in her arrival. My dogs seemed happy and fed upon my arrival. The house was just as I left it so Haylee seemed very respectful and considerate of the place. Would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Stacy went above and beyond for my pups. We have a very reactive dog who needs special care when meeting new people and Stacy worked with us getting to know our dog, which included multiple meetings prior to the booking. We are so thankful for her help and’s will definitely book with her again!”
“Linda did a wonderful job housesitting and keeping my mischievous cat entertained. I returned to a clean home, happy cat and garden. Linda sent me pictures of my cat every day, and her communication was excellent. I would highly recommend Linda because she is a trustworthy, kind, and competent pet sitter”
“Alyson was absolutely amazing with our pups! She followed all of the directions and followed up every day with great pictures and updates! She was so kind and detailed oriented. We will 100% be using her again!”
“Chandler was amazing! My dog has separation anxiety and gave her a little surprise present and Chandler was very understanding and cleaned up the mess (I felt terrible). Highly recommend I would definitely book again.”
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic taking care of my pups over a weekend for me. She sent regular updates and I can see she truly cares about animals! She’ll be my first choice for future pet sitting needs!”
“Megan is wonderful! She watched our boys for the weekend and stayed with them at our place. She kept us up to date with their feedings and well being. When we returned we found very happy dogs and she left our home in immaculate condition.”
About: I have dog sat and cat sat for many different families over the years. I also have three dogs back home that I absolutely love and miss while I’m away at college, so getting to spend time with and care for other people’s pets is something I really enjoy! I’m more than happy to stay in your home because I know pets can feel more comfortable being in their own space and sticking to their normal routine. I love taking dogs on walks or even car rides if their owners are comfortable with it. I have experience with animals of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while their owners are away! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week! I’m available between classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure each pet stays as close to their normal routine as possible. Im never afraid to give a quick call if I’m unsure about something. I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home, doing drop in visits, taking pets on walks, and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Sarah did a great job watching our two cattle dogs. She was very communicative and left our house better than we left it! She took them on great adventures and sent us some awesome pictures. Highly recommend her!”
“Monet did a great job with all four of my animals (2 dogs, 2 cats) for a weeklong house sitting stay. She maintained good communication with me and followed directions for care. I received updates and pictures, and she was always quick to message any questions she had regarding the animals and expectations. Knowing my animals were loved and cared for helped me relax while on vacation, and I would absolutely recommend/book with her again. She is great with animals and I could tell from all the pictures that mine felt loved and enjoyed her presence.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Verdi
Sundance was a happy dog when I returned. He obviously had been treated well--loved, walked, fed and treated like an important being. I was very pleased with Jorge's attentiveness to all the details and would be happy to have him again when I go out of town. The house was also left exactly as I had left it. Folks would be lucky to have him watch their pets. Thank you!
Ashley was wonderful. We very suddenly needed a new sitter for a week, and she graciously agreed to watch our pups. She was very communicative, friendly, and asked thoughtful questions about our home and dogs while she was here. We came home to two very happy pups and a clean house. Highly recommend her, we'd love to work with 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 Verdi 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 Verdi 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 Verdi 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 with handling special pet needs in Verdi. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
