“KiAnna did an awesome job watching our two high energy dogs and our senior cat! She provided plenty of updates / pictures that clearly showed our pets were well loved, and did a great job giving our senior cat her 2x daily medicine. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! Would highly recommend KiAnna for anyone looking for rover services”

About: I love dogs!! I have had several rescue dogs. I am newer to cats but I also love cats. I will happily play with your dog, brush them, feed them treats, and take them for long walks. I’m generally free in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I'm happy to do ad hoc walks and dog sitting or have a more consistent/weekly pet care schedule. I live in a clean, dog-friendly house with a yard outside. There is space for both small dogs and large dogs. I also live in a neighborhood with many other dogs that like to socialize on walks!
“Hayley did a wonderful job watching our two dogs. They had lots of snuggles and attention. She sent lots of pictures and I felt relaxed at my wedding knowing my fur babies were well taken care of in their own home. Highly recommend her!”
“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”
“Mylinda was very professional and had a great way with both Ella and Milo (dog and cat). She left my home better than when she arrived and most importantly shared photos of my furry friends while I was away. Highly recommend her. K”
“I truly cannot recommend her enough! She went above and beyond every single day and cared for Benji like he was her own. She even stepped in during an unexpected situation at home and made sure not only Benji, but my daughter and our cat were safe and taken care of. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals and people are unmatched. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone I trust so much with my home and my family. We absolutely adore her and will continue booking her! ❤️🐾”
“Eneida stayed at our house overnight with our pitbull and she was lovely. She wasn’t intimidated by our girl’s high level of excitement. Her communication was great, she sent lots of photos and we returned to a clean house and a happy, healthy dog. We will be asking her back!!”

“Jen house sat for us for nine days and took care of our lab mutt Jamie and two cats, Remy and Lily. She did a wonderful job taking care of our furkids and followed my long list of instructions :). One of our cats is almost 16 and wasn't feeling well for a few days prior to departure. Jen gave her extra attention and got her eat her meals. While we were away our kitty made a full recovery and is back to her old-young self! Jen sent pictures and updates daily and our furkids really enjoyed being with her. Toward the end of her stay even Lily was sleeping in her bed along with the other two, and she never does that with just anyone. Jen truly understands owner and pets needs and she goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy. We will definitely be booking our petcare visits with her in the future :).”

About: I am a professional petsitter, with 11 years experience and come highly recommended. I provide in-home pet sitting. I essentially step into a client’s role temporarily to care for their furry family while they handle real world issues, in order to provide them with–the basic needs of life. I also am able to provide some basic training with dogs. (I just do, considering I am a pet owner myself) I provide the presence, exercise, love, affection and routine that a pet needs to feel stress free, secure and happy while their owner’s are away. I also believe an animal’s emotional life is as important as their physical needs. Clients are pleasantly surprised when they return home and see that their pet(s) are happy because they had fun doing all sorts of fun activities, exercise and snuggles. One of the best things about my job is when a client gets home and tells me that they can tell their pet is happy, stress free and well cared for because all of their needs were met. I am currently remote and plan my schedule as I see fit. Therefore, I have enough time with our furry pet friend(s). Additionally, services can be requested but is contingent to availability and service been requested. I have an apartment that has nice green lawn behind it and lots of space for your pup to exercise and have lots of fun. There's also tennis courts, trails, and beach near the apartment to take a nice long walks & play dates.
“Michael was extremely wonderful with our dog Luna, she is very strong and with her high prey drive she can be alot for some people to handle. Luna was very happy in all the pictures I received, and I was happy to come home to a well exercised and cared for pup.”

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 Weatogue 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 Weatogue 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 Weatogue 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!

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 .
