“Melissa was amazing! She was in contact with us multiple times each day we were gone and I could tell our girls were having a blast with her. She followed our instructions, was very proactive if anything came up, and left our house looking better than when she arrived. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our 2 small dogs and cat! She sent us updates and photos and it was clear how much they enjoyed her. It’s such a relief to know our animals are in such good hands with her. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“I am so glad I found Halona to house and dog sit my pups. This was the first vacation I've ever taken where I didn't have to stress about if my dogs were okay, or my plants in my yards were dying, etc. Halona came by to meet my pups for the first time, we talked for awhile to get to know eachother. Then before my trip she came over and we walked the dogs around the area to get her familiar with whereabouts I walk them. The dogs were enjoying her company. Once I left to my trip, from the first day to the last she sent me multiple photos of them letting me know they are happy and doing well. My female has a lot of medication she takes on top of a special food diet, Halona never asked any questions she was right on it with the meds and food which was a big plus. When I came home she left a sweet note with flowers as a welcome home gift and the house was as clean as I had it for her when I'd left. Can't thank her enough for helping me enjoy my vacation, I know K.O and Nahla will miss her, until next time. Thank you thank you thank you Halona.”
“Jessica as always was wonderful with our dog Teddy. She stayed at our home for 4 nights with Teddy and showered him with so much love and attention. I got so many picture updates while I was away and could tell he was so happy. I would recommend Jessica to anyone that is looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”
“Abigail did a stellar job watching our 3 cats, and within a couple days made friends with our notoriously shy formerly feral cat who normally hides from almost everyone! She is super responsive, detail oriented, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went well. She even dealt with our Ring alarm we forgot to give her access to 🤦♀️ I highly recommend her and will be using her services every time we’re out of town!”
“Courtney took such great care of our senior dogs. One of our dogs is blind with a fragile spine (herniated disc) and ear infections. She followed our instructions diligently. I received photos and prompt communication. We already rebooked Courtney for two other times, this time for a longer duration. Thanks Courtney!!”
“Nate and Delfi were fantastic! Very communicative and responsible sitters. They took the time to get to know our pets and made great efforts to keep their schedules as consistent as possible. Highly recommended.”
“Sierra was wonderful with our pups. We had a last minute need for a pet sitter for our 2 Border Collies who have some specialized needs. Both dogs immediately fell in love with Sierra. She gave them the care they needed while we were gone and followed all our special requests to make sure the dogs were safe and happy. She asked all the right questions to make sure she knew their quirks and what helps with reactivity, anxiety, etc. She also was very communicative and sent lots of pics and messages to keep us informed while we were gone. We'll definitely be requesting her and Karma's services in the future!”
“April did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and photos and made us feel very comfortable that our pets were in good hands, allowing us to really enjoy our vacation without worry.”
“Liz was amazing! She stayed in our home with our dog for a week and our pup was very happy :) Liz played with her on a daily basis, made sure she ate and got her exercise and always kept in contact with me with updates and pictures. We plan to use her in the future!”
“This is the second time Brooke watched my girls for me, she’s great! Olive was diagnosed with an ear infection just a couple of days before I left town and Brooke did a fantastic job making sure she got her ear drops every day. Also, she sends me the best puppy pictures🩷”
“Matt will be our go-to house sitter and dog watcher from now on, he is absolutely fantastic! Extremely professional and accommodating, we are so thankful that our babies were in such great care with him. 12 out of 10 would recommend”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
“After a last minute second consecutive weekend trip came up, we were grateful Mike's schedule was open on short notice. We had another great experience with Mike! The dogs were happy, as evidenced by the daily photos, and we came home to the house looking just as we had left it. He even did cleaned out the dog's splash pool that had filled with rain water and debris.”
“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of Rooney while I was out of town. She followed all instructions, kept me updated with frequent photos daily, and showed genuine care for both Rooney and my home. She was very attentive to Rooney's needs and treated him like her own, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waldon
I had a great experience with Rebecca for an overnight stay with my dog. She communicated well from the start and came over beforehand to meet us both. She was very relaxed and easy to work with, and sent a couple of updates while I was away, which I appreciated. I came home to find the house exactly as I had left it. She also kindly suggested using a lockbox for the key, which was a great idea and made everything easier. I’d definitely be happy to have her stay again.
Vicki was so kind and wonderful with Manchitas. She took such great care of her, and most importantly, she followed her schedule perfectly. Thank you so much, Vicki, for doing such an excellent job! We truly appreciate it and would definitely hire you again. 💕🐾
Brenna was great! The pups seemed right at home with her. She was very responsive and sent pictures every day along with updates on how their day went. I felt very comfortable having her caring for the them and will definitely contact her for future petsitting needs.
Our dog and cat both loved Aleksandra so much! You could tell they felt very comfortable with her, and when she came to return our key after our trip, they both ran to the door and were so excited to see her. It really showed how much they enjoyed having her care for them while we were away. Aleksandra kept us updated every day with photos and messages, took care of cleaning up when our dog had some accidents while we were away, and left the house clean and tidy for us when we returned. She also helped us out with an extra visit when our flights home were significantly delayed so our pets didn’t have to wait for us to get home to be fed and let out. We really appreciated how sweet and caring she was with both of them and are very thankful for all of her help while we were away!
Monica was the perfect person to look after our fur children. She sent tons of pictures, asked for and followed all of our normal routines to keep the girls on the same schedule, and left the house exactly as she found it. We came home to extremely happy pups. Thank you, Monica!!
Quinn & Kat were amazing! Super communicative and attentive, with lots of thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay. They took great care of Abbey and went above and beyond with the house too — taking out the trash, running the dishwasher and laundry, and even cleaning the floors before we got home. We came back to a happy pup and a clean house. Would absolutely book with them again!
Elaine did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Jackson. I happen to be blind and Jackson is from Guide Dogs For The Blind so he’s pretty special to me and our family. Elaine followed all of our instructions perfectly and both Jackson and Our home were in great shape and ready for us when we returned home. I highly recommend Elaine to anybody looking for a very professional and experienced home in Dog Sitter.

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 Waldon 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 Waldon 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 Waldon 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.
