“Megan stayed overnight with my two older dogs, one who is very nervous around new people. She was very patient when she met Maggie and it did not take long for her to calm down. The dogs were happy and my home was clean and tidy when I got home. Megan was very professional and I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was actually my fiancé and I’s first time using rover, and Rachel made sure all of our babies were safe and taken care of. She made sure to send us pictures and updates on our animals throughout the time we were on vacation, which eased our minds as we are very anxious pet owners. We cannot wait to rebook with her for our next trip!”
About: I've had/ cared for dogs my whole life and used to walk and care for dogs in my old neighborhood. There's no breed too big or small for my taste :) I have been pet sitting for a while and love it I currently have a lot of open availability and I am very flexible with my current schedule. I can always find the time for my furry little friends. I am a high energy person so I'm great at tiring out especially energetic pals to make sure everything is in one piece when you get home.
“Katherine did a great job of taking care of our young puppies while we were away. She gave them needed meds, gave them lots of attention and left our house neat and tidy. I will definitely ask her to watch our pups again.”

I know just how important fur-babies are to us all. I’ll run with your dog, play fetch, and whatever else you request of me. My schedule is somewhat flexible so I’m available when you need me to be. I’ve had dogs all of my life so I know just what they need to stay happy, healthy and fit! I’m not against longer house-sitting stays as long as communication is always an option for us. Drop-ins are convenient for me as well being that my schedule is so flexible. Walking dogs is also convenient.

“You’re not going to find a more attentive and caring house and pet sitter than Michael. I am so happy and relieved that our paths crossed and will only be using his services going forward for further needs. His care for my home and 3 cats went above and beyond. He cleaned my fridge, first floor, and windows! One of my cats got sick repeatedly, even requiring a vet visit and home medication administration, and Michael tended to these needs with enthusiasm. You won’t go wrong choosing Michael to look after your home and animals!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westbrooke
We only moved to Statesboro 2 years ago, and did not have anyone to watch our mini dachshunds, who are so incredibly needy. We knew they would not be able to go to a boarding center because they are so attached to us and absolutely HAD to be at home with someone. Man, we really lucked out when we found Kaleigh!! We went to Texas for 3 days and she stayed with them, here at our home. She sent many pictures which made my heart SO happy. She is so incredibly sweet, caring and extremely good with animals! She is also super trustworthy!! My 2 babies loved her as soon as she walked through the door! She left our house just as we had it when we left, nice and clean! We can 100% vouch for Kaleigh and will cry if she ever stops pet/house sitting (for real 🤣). Thank you so much, Kaleigh!! ❤️
We had to find a dog sitter on very short notice, and she was amazing. She was flexible, communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took great care of our dogs while staying at our home. With everything we had going on, it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Kimberly did such an amazing job watching our two dogs during the Christmas holiday! She stayed at our house and communicated with us every day with updates and cute pictures of the dogs! They warmed up to her so easily and I could tell they were genuinely happy while we were gone which was the best feeling!! Our house was left spotless and everything was perfectly in its place (and better)! Highly recommend Kimberly and can’t wait to use her again! Thank you!!

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 Westbrooke 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 Westbrooke 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 Westbrooke 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.
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.
