“Anh was amazing with Pico. She jumped in last minute and handled everything so thoughtfully - including some unexpected tummy issues and his occasional puppy chaos. She kept me fully updated the whole time and sent lots of great photos, which I really appreciated. It made such a difference being able to see how he was doing. Pico is used to being with me all the time, so social interaction is really important for him. Anh adjusted to Pico’s needs and routine and also made him part of hers - giving him so much extra love and attention. You can’t always guarantee that level of care when you’re away, and I’m so grateful I never had to worry. I would absolutely recommend Anh to anyone without hesitation!”
“Alayza gave us peace of mind, which is always our top priority. She was punctual and friendly, and our pets immediately took to her. We certainly recommend her services.”
About: I've owned senior dogs through end-of-life care, including daily medication and mobility support, and understand the patience senior dogs need to feel safe. I also enjoy active playtime with younger, playful dogs. I'm comfortable with house-trained routines across a variety of breeds and sizes. I work remotely Monday through Friday running my own business, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s needs. As long as I have Wi-Fi, I can work from your home, allowing me to be present throughout the day. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours and can adjust the timing to fit your pet’s feeding, medication, or daily routine. I take safety seriously in your home - checking fencing, gates, and potential escape routes, and staying alert to pets who are talented at getting into things or slipping out unnoticed. I've cared for a mischievous, escape-prone dog myself, so I don't underestimate what a determined pet can get into. I follow your instructions on whether a pet can be left alone and for how long, along with feeding, medication, and any other safety concerns. Your home stays secure while you're away, and your pet stays in a familiar, low-stress environment with consistent care.
“Aliyah watched my four pets (2 cats and 2 dogs) for 6 days while I was out of state and she was amazing! Some of my pets are elderly and have some medical issues. Aliyah followed all my instructions and went above and beyond when there was a little bit of an issue towards the end of the vacation (just dogs being dogs, nothing Aliyah did wrong or could have prevented). I will absolutely utilize her services as long as she offers them!”
“Grateful for Jayne’s help with a short sit on relatively short notice. I really appreciated that she spent quality time with my pup and stayed until close to my return, especially given my dog’s nervousness about lingering fireworks. She also sent helpful updates. Thanks, Jayne!”
“Bryan was amazing with my baby Sage! I literally just rescued her a week prior. She was heavily malnourished and untrained but full of love! When most Rovers would say no to a newly rescued pup, Bryan came to the rescue!!!! He sent pics of her and gave me updates, he had no problem calling or texting with questions. He is a saint and I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover!!”
“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”
“When I needed a sitter to hang with our rambunctious puppy for an evening, Taylor impressed me immediately with how promptly she communicated - even while traveling. She made time for a meet and greet, was extremely prompt, and sent us lots of updates and photos. We came home to a content and sleepy pup, and can’t thank her enough. We’d gladly book her again!”
“Edmond was so attentive to our dog. He handled our pups extreme anxiety well and communicated with us the whole time. He sent plenty of pictures and really just made us feel like our dog was being fully taken care of.”
“Used Tobias while we went away on vacation. He was great with Bailey and Kali. He listened to our care instructions and attended to their needs perfectly. He is extremely easy going and communicative. Loved getting pics everyday to see how our dogs were doing. Def will rebook and recommend him to anyone”
“Enih was absolutely FANTASTIC during her stay in my home where she cared for my dog for 9 days — I honestly can not recommend her enough, and will always be booking with her from here on out! Prior to finding her, I had a horrible, traumatizing experience with the last person I used on Rover. I was so nervous to use Rover again, and left Enih a million instructions. She was so patient and so kind, and was good about doing everything I had asked of her every single day! She tracked her walks, took Alto to the park, and gave me thorough updates. He is a GIANT dog, and can be quite a handful—but she handled everything like a pro. She was very respectful of my stuff and left my home exactly how it was when I left! If you’re looking for a trustworthy girl who can handle any dog, and who treats them with tons of care and love, then Enih is your girl. Thanks again for everything, Enih!”
“Dee was amazing. I was super nervous leaving my senior dog and two cats for a full week, especially since this was our first time working together, but Dee totally delivered. JP, my dog, was smiling in every single photo, and it was clear he felt safe, cozy, and loved. Even my weirdo, suspicious cats warmed up to her, which honestly says a lot, lol. Dee just has that intuitive energy that animals naturally gravitate toward. She followed my care instructions, kept in touch, and made sure everyone was well fed, loved on, and relaxed. I came home to happy, healthy pets, and that’s really all I could ask for. She gives off the vibe of a passionate, animal loving 20-something who genuinely enjoys what she does. While she’s not buttoned up in that overly corporate way (which, let’s be real, is exactly why I use Rover—to support real people who actually spend time and energy on your pets), the level of care she provides is next level. You’re just not going to get that kind of attentiveness at one of those doggy daycare boxes. Dee is very sweet, incredibly responsible, super responsive, and truly locked in with your pets. I’ll absolutely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also have house-sitting experience caring for pets in their own homes, which has taught me how important it is to keep their normal routine consistent while their family is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines and can plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow their normal routine and all instructions provided by their pet parent. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they’re away.
“Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.”
“Nicole stayed at our place to watch our cat for almost two weeks and did a fantastic job! She was responsive and checked in regularly, and we came home to a happy cat. Our cat is very social and needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after him. Plus she took great care of our house and kept our plants alive. We’ll happily call on her again to take care of our cat when we’re out of town!”
“Alex was amazing with our senior dog. Marvin has both mental and physical issues and Alex was able to earn his trust. He was very respectful of our home, even taking out the trash and emptying the dishwasher. Alex also sent plenty of updates and pictures that kept my anxiety at Bay. We will be using Alex as much as possible!”
“Natalie is incredible! I can't say enough wonderful things about how patient and caring she was taking care of our very shy dog. After a short time, they were best friends. She was so easy to communicate with and made sure to update us regularly. She also took incredible care of our house while we were gone. Would not only highly recommend Natalie to others but also look forward to having her care for our dog next time.”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi! My name is Amiria, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and even a snake, so I’m comfortable with pets that have different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m a patient, attentive, and responsible pet sitter who wants every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, which is why I take their routines and individual needs seriously. I’m comfortable providing overnight care, feeding, medication, playtime, enrichment, walks, and general companionship. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at the same time and making sure each one gets the attention they need. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, favorite activities, and any special instructions you leave for me. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away with messages and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play, independent and likes their space, or just wants someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to work with their personality and needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and care. I know they’re family, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐍 My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available most days and times, including weekdays, weekends, evenings, and overnight stays. I have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them the care and attention while your away. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their home, allowing them to stay in a familiar environment while I maintain their normal routines and provide attentive care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walker Mill
Kayla did a great job for us, both housesitting and pet care (2 cats) for two weeks while we were traveling internationally. She is reliable, responsible, and an excellent communicator. The house was in great shape when we returned and she sent nearly daily updates on the kitties (with pictures) so we could travel without worry. I highly recommend her and will use her services again whenever we are away.
This was the first time that I worked with Bradley and had him both house sit and most importantly dog sit for my 135 lb. mastiff mix dog. He did a great job caring for Bosco; Bosco was in great shape when I returned from my trip. Bradley also cared for the house, getting the mail, checking for damage after a major thunderstorm and then letting me know that everything was ok. When I returned everything was in great condition and clean. I would not hesitate to ask Bradley for help when the need arises.
I had never met Emily before our meet and greet, so this was my first experience with her housesitting for my two kittens. Do not be put off by her low number of reviews on the platform - snatch Emily up when you can and help her grow her business on here. During the meet and greet and during her time watching Enzo and Romeo, she was thoughtful, respectful, and asked good questions. She was wonderful with the cats, they looked so happy in all the photos and videos she sent each day. We came back, as others have mentioned, to a very tidy apartment, and she had even washed the sheets which was so appreciated but not necessary! Our boys were so soft (and we can tell they are happy and healthy by the quality of their coats) so they were clearly happy and healthy after Emily cared for them. We will be thrilled to hire her again and trust her to care for our babies!
Mizu was in the best care while I was gone. Anh gave daily updates and made sure medications were given on time. She gave Mizu regular walks and prepped all his meals accordingly. She kept the house neat and clean after. She was also responsive and kept me updated at all times. She notified me as soon as she saw Mizu's usual skin condition to be sure everything was okay. I will definitely reach out if I need her again next time I plan a trip.
We have a senior dog & a puppy who both can be very particular & have tons of energy. They loved their time with Nia. She took great care of them as well as our home. Nia even came by to meet us & our fur babies before we went out of town. 10/10 experience & highly recommend her!
Trina was absolutely amazing! She kept me fully informed with regular updates throughout the entire stay, which gave me total peace of mind. To make things even better, my travel plans got seriously delayed on my way home, and Trina was incredibly responsible and accommodating. She immediately adjusted her own schedule to cover the extra time needed until I could get back. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!
Natalie is an outstanding sitter. She is super professional and intentional with caregiving. Our dogs got plenty of exercise, stayed on their schedule, and got a ton of extra attention while we were away. We received updates and photos throughout. Natalie stayed in our home, and communicated any home related issues and took wonderful care of our space. You won’t regret booking! We look forward to working with Natalie again in the future.
I am a first time Rover user, and was for a long time very wary of allowing strangers to take care of my fur babies. Roy, unequivocally, is the reason this site works. Roy communicated often, thoroughly, and was even patient when we had app difficulties and my communication lapsed. Roy took care of my two dogs and one cat and provided stimulation and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was pristine and three happy and healthy pets. As I told Roy personally, having the peace of mind to actually enjoy the vacation is nearly invaluable. We are very thankful to Roy and will definitely be booking again should the time come!

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 Walker Mill 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 Walker Mill 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 Walker Mill 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.
