“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”
“Nichole is wonderful! Communication is top notch - lots of pictures and updates were so appreciated. The two goofballs loved her! Nichole administered medication to one of the dogs, followed feeding and supplement instructions perfectly and took great care of our two doggies. Highly recommended!”
“The house was left very neat and she was good at communicating with us. Our cats hid throughout much of her stay, but that's their normal behavior with new people and not a reflection on Jaicyn. She actually seemed like a caring and nice person and we're hoping to have her again.”
“Greyson was a great pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover and Greyson made the experience so easy and reassuring. She made sure to meet our pets before we left and to get any special instructions. While we were gone we got updates every morning and evening. This not only assured us that everything/everyone was doing well, but showed us how comfortable our pets became around Greyson. We also had a massive storm while we were away with a prolonged power outage. Greyson made sure to let us know that all the pets were doing fine and kept us informed on the status of our power and household. It was such a relief to be able to have that communication. We will definitely be rebooking with Greyson for future trips and I would highly recommend them.”
“Christine was so great with Lenny! He was immediately comfortable with her, she was immediately comfortable with him - and he immediately listened to and followed her lead. Her considerable experience (with all kinds of animals and particularly dogs in this case) was very apparent. She was attentive, meticulous, and provided many updates throughout the long weekend we were away. Lenny seemed sad when he realized she wasn't coming back the night we returned.🙂 We would absolutely hope to book with her again.”
“Ally was absolutely fantastic! She kept in close contact with us, sent photos, and made us being away less stressful. We will definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone who looking for an awesome house/pet sitter. We would give her 10 stars if we could!”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kelly did such a great job as always! She stayed in our house to watch our very sensitive dog over the holidays, and she did a wonderful job--we came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Kelly is a truly thoughtful and caring petsitter who goes above and beyond for the animals that she cares for. We'd recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life- from cats and dogs, to lizards and snails, and even horses! I love all of them and will give them all the attention they deserve. I am free weekends, evenings and nights mainly but can be very flexible. You just let me know what you need and I'll try to make it work. I do require advanced notice however. I am happy to care for pets in your home however is needed/desired during the day time or evenings. I do work most days so I cannot always guarantee a full day of availability but I can do several drop-ins a day!
About: I am 30 years old and have been caring for dogs and cats for about 12 years. As a teenager my foster mother was also a puppy foster parent. She would take litters at a time plus her four dogs, we learned all about how to care for dogs. I am very good at training puppies as that was mainly what I did as a teenager. I am available 6 days a week minus Tuesdays. I available anytime after 4pm or from 9am during the week, as my father goes to work so he would have to drop me off. This does not apply to me as I cannot offer care in my own home as I have to many animals currently in my household
“Rani was so great with Rocko and gave us lots of updates and pictures which we appreciated! She also kept our house tidy. Definitely would recommend and rebook for future dog sitting/ house sittings!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, Spud, and she made the entire experience so much easier by providing such loving and attentive care. We came home to happy dogs! She went above and beyond—not only taking great care of our pups but also handling little accidents from Spud with patience. She also sent daily updates and pictures and kept in constant communication, which we truly appreciated! Knowing how they were doing throughout our trip gave us so much peace of mind. We are so grateful for her kindness, updates, and the thoughtful note she left for us. We would love to have her back for future visits! If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and detail-oriented to watch your pets, we highly recommend Elizabeth. She’s the best! 🐶💛”
“Bridget did a great job with both my dogs. She was very responsive, and communicated well and sent lots of pictures! She exceeded my expectations and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our dog and cat while she was house sitting for us. She sent lots of updates, which we appreciated for peace of mind. When we returned home, our house was in excellent condition- probably even cleaner than how we left it! Overall, a great experience having her house sit for us while we were gone.”
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I currently care for two cats and also have a Golden Retriever who lives with my former roommate but still comes to visit on weekends, allowing me to stay actively involved in his care and routine. I have also cared for dogs on numerous occasions, including watching my cousin’s dog whenever her family goes on vacation and is unable to bring him along. Through these experiences, I have worked with multiple dog breeds and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing a safe and loving environment. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I will provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time, but I am able to check on pets before work, during my lunch break, after work, and throughout the weekend. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for extended periods and is typically left alone for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine and will ensure your pet receives the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. Communication is also important to me. Every pet parent has different preferences, so I always ask whether they would like frequent updates throughout the day or just a daily check-in. Some owners enjoy receiving lots of photos and updates, while others prefer fewer messages while they’re busy at work or enjoying their vacation. I am happy to accommodate either preference and will always keep you informed in the way that works best for you. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own and strive to ensure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire experience.
“Aurora is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our senior dog, our reactive dog, and our rabbit while we were away. She handled medication without any issues, and sent detailed updates and photos so that we always felt connected to what everyone was up to. She gave each pet including our rabbit one-on-one attention and knowing they were getting such great care really put us at ease with being away for so long knowing they were in excellent hands! We came home to happy, relaxed pets, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Aurora again!”
About: I’ve cared for and have loved dogs for the past 20 years. I have experience with dogs and with diabetes and other special care needs. I’m currently a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule allowing me to work from home anytime. I will communicate with owners if there is any reason I would need to be away from their pet for more than 4 hours. I currently do not have any pets. I live in a second story condo with plenty of walking paths in the neighborhood and a dog park close by. My house is a calm environment for anxious pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Sumpter
Greyson is incredibly communicative, mindful, and responsive. As a fellow rover sitter, I have to say I'm very impressed with Greyson's attention to detail and process. Greyson also demonstrates care and love for my pet, and it's great having someone like them come to my home and watch my house and fur baby. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone to care for your pet while you're away!
Greyson was a great pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover and Greyson made the experience so easy and reassuring. She made sure to meet our pets before we left and to get any special instructions. While we were gone we got updates every morning and evening. This not only assured us that everything/everyone was doing well, but showed us how comfortable our pets became around Greyson. We also had a massive storm while we were away with a prolonged power outage. Greyson made sure to let us know that all the pets were doing fine and kept us informed on the status of our power and household. It was such a relief to be able to have that communication. We will definitely be rebooking with Greyson for future trips and I would highly recommend them.

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 Sumpter 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 Sumpter 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 Sumpter 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.
