About: I have house sat for many family members, neighbors, and acquaintance’s pets for two years. Before that I walked a few dogs in my neighborhood. This is currently my only form of work. I am almost always free unless there are other bookings lined up. I have form of transportation to get to your pets easily. I take staying in another’s person’s house very seriously. It is your space, and I intend to only stay to keep your fur babies happy, entertained, and taken care of. I respect your rules and clean up, so you felt like no one was even there.
“Can’t say enough wonderful things about Kaitlyn! She is super polite, showed up on time, and took great care of our pup. She also went above & beyond, sending us regular updates about our pup while we were away. We already have her booked for our next trip. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter!”
“Liz was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She sent several pics even though she stayed 1 night. When we got home, everything was nice and neat. We highly recommend Liz and would definitely use her again!”
“Avary took great care of our kitty cats. She kept me updated about their meals and medication and sent pictures. She followed through requests and was very accommodating. Will definitely be using her in the future! 😁”
“We could not have been happier with Kayla! My wife and I took an international trip for more than a week and entrusted Kayla with both our home and our two large dogs, Ragnar and Rollo. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving everything in her care. Kayla was friendly, professional, communicative, and incredibly attentive to detail. She clearly loves dogs, and it showed in every interaction. We especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent, including some wonderful pictures of her playing with Ragnar and Rollo, making sure they got plenty of exercise, attention, and, of course, belly rubs. When you’re traveling overseas, peace of mind is priceless, and Kayla gave us exactly that. We never worried about the dogs or the house because we knew they were in capable hands. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely book Kayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Ragnar and Rollo clearly loved their time with her, and so did we.”
“Taylor did an amazing job with our two dogs and cat. She has incredible communication skills, and provides proactive updates including photos and videos. Our animals responded positively to Taylor from Day 1. She asks all the right questions at the right time. We look forward to using her again and can’t recommend her enough.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I grew up with dogs and currently have 7 cats of my own (including 2 foster babies), so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve also bottle fed kittens and cared for rescue animals, so I’m very comfortable with pets that need extra patience, attention, or a gentle approach. I know leaving your pets with someone new can feel stressful, I feel the same way with my own. I take that trust seriously and will always treat your pets like family while you’re away. I’m very patient, dependable, and love building trust with every pet I care for. I also make it a priority to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re gone! I work full-time Tuesday through Friday, but I’m very flexible outside of work hours and have open availability Saturdays through Mondays. I’m able to make plenty of time for your pets and can work around their routines to make sure they receive the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to. Whether that’s morning visits, evening drop-ins, or weekend care, I’m happy to help! I care for pets in their home by keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and playtime while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they love attention or prefer a little extra space. I treat every pet like my own, every home with respect, and always provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I live on a farm and I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years. I feed my dogs and cats daily clean runs and take my dogs out for potty breaks. Lastly I always give my dogs and cats extra love. I work part time at Five Below right now but still have extra time in my week. I can work weekends and before any holidays. I’m available for dog sitting and dog walking. I am open to working anytime whenever I have a day off work or when I have a free time! I have open dog kennels available, one very friendly dog, a dog yard that’s fenced, and dog equipment like leashes and other things that are needed for dogs.
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“Mary was fantastic with Ricky and Riley. She really made them feel at home in my absence. Whether it was playing with them in the backyard or comforting them in a thunderstorm, she was professional and diligent. I strongly recommend her services, and I know I will be calling her again.”
“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”
“Jenna is nothing short of fabulous! She is wonderful with our fur babies, flexible and amenable to unexpected changes at the house while you’re gone. She’s a gem of a pet and house sitter and we fully recommend her services.”
“Destiny was so amazing!!! She waited longer than the booking so Cassidy wouldn’t be alone at home until I could get there. Would highly recommend her to watch your loved pets anytime!!”
“Mollie was such a great overnight sitter for Maggie and Milo. She did great with checking in and was very responsible to our house. The dogs loved having a companion while we were away on vacation. Mollie was punctual with the dogs medicines and made sure they were well taken care of. While we were away Mollie took them to the dog park and gave them lots of cuddles as if they were her own. Mollie is a fantastic sitter and would so lucky to have her back again.”
“Amazing sitter! Communication is always quick and gave updates and photos of our pets and spent quality time with them! She truly cares about your pets and giving them the best care possible while you are gone! Would recommend again and again!”
“Cheney did a great job caring for our puppy! She has such a sweet, understanding, fun demeanor and our dog loved her! She kept us updated throughout the time she watched our pup and she was extremely timely with her communication before the visit. We will definitely book with Cheney again!”
About: I have grown up around dogs and used to own a German shepherd that I held primary responsibility for. I have also helped friends with dog walking and have cared for dogs of almost all ages. I am a full time student at a community college but my classes are short and only Monday through Wednesday. This means I have almost full availability all week to care for your pet. I am easily able to follow instructions if they are given and I am able to recognize animal behavior for both dogs and cats as well as being flexible to provide for their needs.
“Jordan is an amazing dog sitter, excellent communication, professional and our dogs love her. I was able to fully enjoy being away because she was taking wonderful care of our dogs. Will definitely have her sit again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waleska
Kaitlin did a wonderful job watching our dogs from Friday through Sunday. She was on time, took great care of them, kept up with their walks, and our dogs seemed happy and well cared for when we returned. She was also very accommodating and stayed a little later on Sunday when our arrival was delayed, which we really appreciated. The house was left spotless and in excellent condition. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs had someone reliable caring for them. We would definitely book Kaitlin again and highly recommend her to others!

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 Waleska 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 Waleska 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 Waleska 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.
