“Lindsey really made the effort to learn and conform to my dogs’ routines! Very respectful and responsible. Good communicator and showed up on time and ready to hit the dog trail. Excellent sitter!”
“Melissa took great care of pups cuddling and loving on them. Our pups have medicine and are picky eaters so feeding can be a chore. Melissa took care of all of that and more. Dixie is shy and has high anxiety and Melissa C. Won her heart immediately. She communicated with me regularly and sent pictures of the pups! We have booked Melissa C. already for our next trip. We can rest assured knowing our pups are taken care of. Thank you!”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job caring for our two pets while we were away on vacation! We could tell our big Great Pyrenees and older kitten enjoyed their time with her and she treated them with love and gave them lots of exercise!”
“Elyssa stayed with our dog Elle for five nights in our home. We got frequent updates and came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Elyssa was very responsive and it was a great experience for us. Highly recommend - thanks Elyssa!”
“Overall, we had a good experience and felt like our dogs were well cared for. The only thing I wish we had received was a little more communication throughout their stay. We would have loved more frequent updates and photos just to know how they were doing and have that extra peace of mind while we were away. Otherwise, we appreciated her taking care of them and willing to work with one of our anxious pup.”
“My dogs were well cared for with Sophie while we were away, as was my apartment! Sophie cleaned up after her stay and even put our grocery delivery away for us which we did not ask her to do. My dogs had a wonderful time, thank you Sophie!”
“Thank you Dana for doing such a great job with our two dogs and cat. You house sat for us for three nights and four days. The dogs were extremely happy with the way you played ball with them and let our sweet baby Ren sleep in bed with you we went away out of state to our daughters graduation and you made the experience so comfortable by always responding and sending pictures of the babies while we were gone. I can see why you’re booked out for so long. We will definitely use you again in the future if we’re able to get into your busy calendar. But I understand why you’re so busy thank you so much.”
“Meredith is the best! She stayed with our two dogs over Labor Day weekend and brought us so much peace of mind. She sent regular pictures and updates, took special care with our anxious pup, and left the house in better shape than she found it. Highly recommend her for any pup needs!”
“I enjoyed Tiera looking after Diamond , She followed the minor instructions in caring for my Princess, She’s a wonderful sitter I know Diamond was pleased with her as well ….. Thank you so Much 😍”
“Christian was wonderful. He sent pictures everyday and updates on how the dogs were doing, even through the intense storms we had. I would definitely recommend him for housesitting.”
“Elizabeth was reliable and my baby loved her! She took good care of my home and Kitty for 10 days and went above and beyond to make sure I had a clean home to come home too as well as communicate while I was away! Strongly recommend.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Jemima was a fantastic sitter! She stayed in our home and took great care of our dogs. Our puppy is a stubborn eater and she worked with him to make sure he ate enough throughout the day. Along with sending daily updates and photos, she also provided extra patience with our older dog who is skittish on night time walks. It was easy for us to relax on our trip knowing our dogs were safe and well cared for. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”
“Austin was an amazing dog sitter! He kept us up to date with pictures and summaries of his visit, came at the times he discussed with us, and our dogs loved him! It was great to have Austin keep our dogs happy on our trip, he helped so much! Thanks Austin!”
“Jabe was amazing with our goldendoodle Winnie! Winnie just had surgery and Jabe was great with making sure she was comfortable and in her cone! Highly recommend Jabe! Also was so accommodating of our last minute need to find a sitter! Thank you Jabe!!”
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.

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.
<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 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 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.
