About: As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that our pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to providing the same care, love, and consistency I would want for my own pets. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, medications, rest, and plenty of companionship. I have experience caring for senior pets, special-needs pets, and puppies, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I truly believe that time spent with an animal is a privilege. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have open availability so frequency of visits will not be an issue. Tell me the time and place and I will make it happen. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. I am respectful of their established routines and will do my best to keep their day-to-day schedule consistent while you’re away. I also have no problem administering medications as needed and will follow all instructions carefully. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. * No problem administering medications as directed * Respectful of your pet’s routines and daily schedule * Patient, attentive, and dependable in every aspect of care
“Sara is wonderful! Easy to communicate with, sent me plenty of pictures that showed not only that my baby was doing well, but that she was being her normal self and doing her normal routines. If your pet is your family you can trust Sara will treat them that way!”

“Nmantendi was THE BEST!! We were gone 3 nights and got updates and photos many times throughout the day. We came home to a spotless and organized home and happy dog. Unfortunately, our puppy got sick on the last day, but she was there to love and care for him until we got home. She will be our go to person to watch our dog and home. Thank you, Nmantendi!!!”
“Briana picked up my last minute job and she was a livesaver! She did a fantastic job, communicated well and my animals liked her. It's such a relief to have a responsible pet sitter that I know I can trust! I would definitely love to hire her again and will highly recommend her.”
“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! They warmed up to her very nicely, even my dog who has anxiety and usually takes more time to get comfortable with new people. That made me feel so much better about leaving them in her care. When I returned, my home was exactly the way I left it, and I had no concerns or problems at all. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Stephanie was great with my two dogs! She communicated clearly and I never once had to worry that they were in goods while I was away. I have a high strung working line GSD who insist on lots of play and Stephanie picked up on all her games to keep her entertained inside while it’s too hot outside. Already have another stay planned!”
“Rosalind stayed with my cat for a few days while I had to travel. My cat Apollo is a special needs baby and Rosalind was sweet and attentive to all his needs. She took really good care of him and made sure he was always comfortable. She has really good communication and updates you throughout her stay. You can 100% trust her with your pets and your house! I recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs a few years ago, and I currently have 3 cats. I’ve even helped one of my cats to give birth. I've also took care of my friend's cat for a few months. I work from Monday to Friday, so I will have plenty of time to be with your pet on weekends. I’m available for all types of services on weekends. I have 3 cats to keep your furry friend company, and I’m also able to fence my cats or your furry friend if needed, or separate them in separate room.
“We decided to try house sitting for the first time. My dog has trouble adjusting and trusting new people and Brittney was amazing with him, she did several meet and greet to make sure my dog was confortable with her!”
“Raniyah was absolutely amazing. It’s easy to tell that she is a kind soul as soon as you meet her and our sometimes-nervous animals took to her calm spirit quickly. She left the house just as she found it and followed our instructions exactly. Communication was A+. Our pets could care less that we’re home, which is always a sign of great care! We love Raniyah and hope to hire her again. 5 stars! Two thumbs up!”
About: I’ve always adored pets growing up and both of my parents are certified veterinarians so I pretty much grew up around animals my entire life! I’m currently a college student doing online classes so I am at home majority of the time taking care of my own personal pets day to day I monitor them really the entire time with them by my side, but I also have two veterinarians with me in my household every day
About: I’m vigilant and will keep your pup safe on a walk, will make sure they have time to do their business, and allow them to stop and smell the roses along the way. I work from home and love dogs so this is perfect opportunity for me to earn a little extra money and give a little extra love. I am used to watching dogs that need constant supervision. My husky required constant supervision during his puppy months and is now potty trained and the best boy.
“Crissy is a knowledgeable and professional dog sitter. She was able to easily navigate our different dynamics, having a newly adopted dog who is still getting used to her new home & also an energetic fun-loving hound who can be a lot to handle. Crissy came and handled them with ease. Even took them on walks and sent plenty of pictures and updates. We are so glad we found her!”

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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake 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.
