“Jemima was our in-home dog sitter during a two-week trip overseas, and we were so fortunate to find her. Our dog instantly bonded with Jemima, so we knew she’d be happy during our time away. She sent us regular photos and videos of our dog’s activities. Jemima also helped diagnose and treat our dog’s nausea over a couple of nights, which promptly got resolved. She’s a true dog lover and was super attentive. She took our dog on walks, spent time with her outside in the grass, played tug-of-war, and otherwise kept our dog entertained throughout the visit. We’ll definitely be booking Jemima again!”
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I enjoy building a bond with dogs and getting to know their personalities. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm companion, I love making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I've also cared for cats for several households and understand the importance of following each pet's individual routine, from feeding schedules and litter box care to playtime and companionship. I know that every cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy earning their trust at their own pace. I believe the best pet care comes from patience, reliability, and treating every pet as an individual. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you're away, knowing they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and thoughtful care. As a freelance artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week with advance notice. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and both weekend and weekday house sitting. Because my schedule is adaptable, I'm able to plan my work around the needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and routine they deserve. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special care needs. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I believe clear communication is important, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away.
“Another house sit booked with Alex and a great experience. It’s sooo nice to have a go-to dog sitter you can rely on. She is great about communicating updates or questions and is so accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“Erin was amazing!! She sent regular updates and was responsive when I was feeling the need to check in. We have one dog in particular who is difficult but Erin did great with him! They both loved her and next time we travel, Erin will be our first choice for a sitter. Thank you Erin!!”
“I needed a last minute dog sitter and took a chance on Seth. He exceeded all expectations! He took great care of my dog, respected my house, was easy to communicate with, and frequently sent updates. I would recommend Seth and use his services again!”
“Ashley was amazing! Took such good care of my babies, was super communicative, sent photos. She went above and beyond and brought in packages and brought the trash out and back in. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
About: I have taken care of people dog and cats since i was 13 years old. I have house sat for two dogs and cats for 3 months while their owner was on a business trip! I love animals and I enjoy spoiling them. I work remote most of the time so I can take a break and visit your pet or home sit! I will walk them, take them on potty breaks, play with them. Whatever they need and if you need me to do something for them say less I will be there! I always make room for your babies! I provide care in the pet’s home or my home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific needs or preferences.
“Sabrina was wonderful! She watched my two small pups while I was away at my dad's funeral service. I had plumbing issues right before I left - stressful! - and Sabrina was so kind and understanding as I figured it out from afar. She left the house in great shape. Thanks, Sabrina!”
About: There hasn’t even been a time in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. I grew up on a farm with mostly dogs, but also chickens, a pony, goats, bunnies, cats, and turkeys. I love them all! I work every other week with my full time position so on my off weeks I am looking for something to do that I know I’ll enjoy and animals are a huge joy in my life. I’d love to take stress off a pet parent in knowing who is taking care of their babies is truly loving on them. I personally won’t be keeping animals at my own home, but will do whatever is needed at the clients home for their baby. I am super organized, detail oriented, and reliable.
“We have a brand new puppy and I was SO nervous to leave him. Blaise instantly put us at ease. She sent updates and took amazing care of our sweet boy it was evident he loved her!”
“Lindsey watched Otis while I went out of town for a week. I ended up getting stuck in FL due to a hurricane and she was able to stay an extra night. She’s super sweet, communicative, and accommodating. I felt that Otis was in great hands! Highly recommend.”

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 West 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 West 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.
Tip: 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 West 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.
