“Jennifer was wonderful! She watched our 4 month old puppy in our home for 5 nights. From the very beginning she was communicative and responded quickly. She did a meet and greet and spent so much time getting to know our puppy, Petals. Her love of animals was clear and Petals was very comfortable with her. Jennifer gave us pictures and updates and even did some training with Petals. We came home to a happy, well taken care of puppy and an immaculate house. She had even washed the sheets and towels and had the bed made for us. We highly recommend her and will definitely become repeat customers. Her professionalism and obvious love of her job made us feel very comfortable leaving our sweet puppy with her.”
“She was a wonderful sitter for our little guy! He’s an anxious dog and after her care, he’s the calmest we’ve seen. She sent plenty of photos and gave us quick replies! ☺️”
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”
“I can not say enough about how awesome Julie was! She kept my pups busy while we were away and we even came home to a clean house. She updated me frequently on how they were doing. I will definitely be having Julie back to watch my pups soon!”
“Anjil was amazing to work with! She was dependable and always communicated how our dog was doing. She was so sweet and also kept our house in perfect condition. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hello! Thank you for your interest! When income to your house your pet will be greeted with a smile and open arms or structure and confidence depending on what they need, I understand all pets are unique in their own way. I have 4 years vet tech experience behind me and 2 years into owning my own farm currently. Let me know where I can help out with your pet! I currently own a farm. I absolutely love taking care of animals. I find it very rewarding to be around not only my animals but to also know I'm helping out others. I Am a very aware person. I'm constantly thinking and looking for anything that an animal could get into, harm itself in any way etc.- if you think you thought of it... I've thought of 100 other ways or what-ifs?
About: Up until recently when I moved I used to help take care of my room mates 4 dogs. I’ve always had a way with dogs and have never met a dog that doesn’t love me! I look forward to meeting your four legged friend! I work full time Monday through Friday but have most afternoons free and am free most of the weekends as well and have plenty of time to watch your pup! I will treat your dog like they are my own, and by they I mean that I’ll spoil them rotten with attention, cuddles and treats
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
“Claire has been a lifesaver for our family and her expertise with all our animals has been priceless. We have a total of 5 pets both cats and dogs. They immediately love her and treat her as if they have known her for years. She has performed house sitting for us for extended periods of time on long trips and our home and pets have been so well taken care of we can’t thank her enough. We do not have to worry when gone for long periods of time. She is awesome!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I am a proud cat owner who understands that pets are family. I've spent years dog-sitting for friends and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, or cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I currently work at a dentist office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Mondays and Friday I get off at 2:30pm at the latest. While Tuesdays and Thursdays I get off at 5:30 at the latest. Free during the weekends most of the time. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I'll follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: My jack, Russell terrier, Chili passed away in August of 2022. The house feels empty without a dog running around, but I’m not quite ready to be a full-time permanent mom just yet. However, I would love to take care of your loved one in My Home, and the house would not feel so empty. I have a fenced in yard. It’s not very big but plenty of room for a small, medium dog. I make your pet my first priority. I used to work from home and that was great because I was able to be with the pups all day and night. I now will be in the office on most week days. I do not work far from home so if needed, I can pop in at lunchtime. I have a fenced yard. Your fur babies are welcome on my furniture and the bed but if you prefer them to be crated, that is fine too.
“Kristin is outstanding. She came over before watching them to get them used to her, and she took such good care of my needy babies. She kept me informed the entire time we were away, sent photos, and asked questions. I would absolutely recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Wells 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 Wells 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 Wells 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
