“Monique was a great sitter! She asked questions, followed the pet/house sitting instructions I left and communicated timely. She sent daily updates with pictures and gave Heidi lots of love. I would definitely it book her again.”
“Jake was great! Inde seemed to really enjoy her time with him. We received updates while we were away, as well as pictures. Our apartment was also left completely clean. Will absolutely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Arabella was great with our girls and made sure they were loved while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and made us comfortable being away from them and will absolutely hire her again!”
“Kally did an amazing job of dog sitting our Lab, Charlotte. She send us many videos and pictures during her stay, took great care of our girl and we came home to a very happy and tired pup. Her consistent communication really put me at ease as I didn’t have to worry at all during our trip! I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, be respectful of your home and honestly loves what she does! 5-stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We had a great experience with Bruno watching our two dogs. Very easy to communicate with and definitely understands dogs, so we had no concerns. Will happily book again for overnight or walks!”
“Kayleigh did a great job taking care of my doggos Chubbs + Reade! We got multiple text and photo updates throughout her time with them and had no worries while she was with them.”
“Shaheen was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! We were so thankful to find someone so thoughtful and reliable to take good care of our two dogs while out of town. He gave us regular updates and adorable photos of our dogs (clearly having the best time with him) and I felt complete peace of mind that they were in good hands.”
“Vinnie did a great job! He took care of my senior pup over the weekend while we were out of town. He dropped in 3 times a day, fed, and gave my boy his supplements/medication. Vinnie even hung around and kept my boy company after he ate, waiting for him to digest his food and then took him out again. A + service!”
“Raquel took great care of my dog and left my home in pristine condition while house sitting. She was highly communicative throughout the stay and made sure that my dog went out for plenty of walks and had lots of indoor play time. My dog does not do well with other dogs and Raquel did a great job in avoiding any issues while on walks. I would highly recommend Raquel’s services!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years—whether in my home or theirs. Dogs are such fun, always ready to play, and both my children and I love spending time with them. They truly bring so much joy to our days! I have a flexible job and check in a few times a day. I also work from home some days, so there’s always an adult home for TLC and potty breaks. I now live in a pet-friendly Townhome that offers plenty of comfort and care for your furry friend. While I don’t have a backyard, my dog Onyx and I enjoy daily walks and outdoor time on nearby dog park. We look forward to giving your pet lots of love, playtime, and a cozy stay!
About: I’ve had a heart for animals since I was a kid, and that love has only grown! From finned friends like fish to turtles, lizards, bunnies, horses, and dogs, I've cared for them all! Currently my primary focus at home is my senior dog, my five year old husky, and the horses at my local farm that I volunteer with weekly. I promise to look after your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently working full time in office. I am available before 8am and after 4pm MON - FRI and during the weekends to care for your pets. Additionally, depending on your location and needs, I can be available mid day for a drop in, walk, etc. if needed during the week. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets. I focus on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace, using positive reinforcement, and respecting boundaries.

Jake was great! Inde seemed to really enjoy her time with him. We received updates while we were away, as well as pictures. Our apartment was also left completely clean. Will absolutely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.
Ellie was a wonderful sitter. We were a little worried at first, as Ellie is younger than the usual sitters we have, but she surpassed our expectations! Both our cat and dog were very relaxed; Ellie ensured that both our pets were comfortable. It's tough enough to manage one pet, so the fact that Ellie was able to manage both our pets together proves her competence. We will definitely be hiring Ellie again in the very near future 🐶😺
Beth is a wonderful pet sitter. She stays at our condo with our 2 dogs. We have used her multiple times and for some longer (2 weeks) trips. The dogs are always happy to see her and I know they get lots of attention and love. Beth goes beyond expectations with communication- she replies quickly and always puts our mind at ease. We highly recommend Beth.
We were extremely nervous about leaving our high energy 90 lb dog and our spoiled princess of a cat for our 12 day vacation. Sophia is responsible, smart, energetic, and patient. She sent numerous pictures and updates daily which really allowed us to relax knowing the animals were doing well. Sophia was very communicative via text keeping us informed of their eating habits and activities. Both animals thrived under Sophia’s care! She started out as our pet sitter but honestly feels now like she’s part of our family.

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 Waxpool 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 Waxpool 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 Waxpool 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
