“Patricia was great! We had a new puppy who needed a lot of attention. It was such a relief to have someone stay at our house so we could attend a wedding. She took wonderful care of my daughter’s puppy and our 2 dogs!”
About: I've always loved our furry friends: wether sheltering strays for a few days, pet sitting for neighbors, or volunteering at my local shelter I learned each animal has their own personality and temperament but all require some basic needs, like water, food, exercise, mental stimulation, and ofc love! Beyond the practical knowledge of walking, feeding, training, and playing with animals I've also had a personal fascination into the minds of animals (LOVE watching dog training videos and reading up on Donna Haraway). When I mean I love pets and want to make sure they'll have a good time, I mean it! I’ve say both cats and dogs from days to months, small to large, shy to outgoing. Your fur child will be in great hands! I work from home full time, so my availability can be pretty flexible! Open to chat more based on needs and schedules Every animal has a different schedule so like to work around what works best for your pet Building has a fenced in courtyard and a community garden on the corner. There's a couple of cats and dogs in the building but for our apartment unit, your pets would be the only ones (they'll have my undivided attention <3) There is also a dog park about 15 min walking and another green space garden 10 min walking.
“Kassidy is amazing!! My family and I had to travel for the holidays. When we were supposed to return, our flight (along with tens of thousands of others) was cancelled and we couldn’t get home for an additional 5 days. She was able to accommodate our unexpected change. She kept in touch with us and sent photos almost every day! I will definitely book with her again in the future!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love animals. I treat every dog like family and have great references from people who trust me with their pets. I’m currently in cosmetology school and also work a part-time job Tuesday through Saturday, usually until around 5 PM. Even with my schedule, I always make time to give pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure your fur baby feels safe! I have a fenced-in backyard and love going on walks with my fur babies! I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: I’ve personally been interested and training dogs since I was 10. As a young adult I worked at a dog daycare, volunteered at a dog kennel and continued to train and work my personal dogs until I joined the military. I’ve recently become a Certified Full Service Dog trainer as a veteran through the VA. I have experience working with both pet dogs and working dogs. I value integrity and helping improve both the dog and handler for future success. Excited to teach and learn for the community, hopefully expanding after! I’m currently a full time student but will still offer night walks and training sessions after class during the week. I’ll be available the full weekend for full day/ overnight drop ins, and training sessions! I have a high standard for safety and wellness. Ensuring the environment is safe and secure for the dog. Providing proper equipment for exercise, trainings, walks. Giving updates and information throughout the service.
About: Growing up we had 5 dogs and I’ve never looked back. I have watched friends and family inpets while on vacation, taken them on walks/hikes, and just dropped by to let them out or feed them during the day. I’ll treat your pet like my own while I’m with them and communicate with you plus photos (everyone likes to get a picture of their pet happy) I am currently a stay at home mom whose son is in school. We are looking to make an extra income to support vacations and activities. I currently have open availability as my husband can help with my son. I currently have 3 dogs (2 dachshunds and a boxer mix) at home with a fenced in yard. We do have crates if they need to be put up at all. I am available to come to your house as well to dog sit if needed!
“Britt stayed at my house and watched my husky Saber for 4 nights. She did the best job communicating with me everyday and sending me pictures. I never once worried saber wasn't being taken care of. Britt was respectful of all my things and even went above and beyond with cleaning before she left. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! 10/10 recommend!”
“Lilly was so sweet and caring with our cats. We loved how quickly she responded to our request to book her and her constant communication with us while watching our cats. She obviously loves fur babies.”
About: I have a strong affection for dogs and am very attentive to their needs. I am young and enjoy playing with them in a spacious yard and taking them for walks around the neighborhood. I treat every dog as if it were my own, providing them with love and care. My schedule is pretty much free for walks, visits to the dog park and time to play. Looking forward to possibly taking care of your furry friend I have a strong affection for dogs and am very attentive to their needs.

“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ( We’d give 5,000 if we could!) This was our first time using Rover, and we were nervous because our 2-year-old mini schnauzer, Sophie, is truly part of our family. But Suzy was amazing. She stayed in our home, played with Sophie, snuggled her, and took her on walks in the snow and rain. It rained so much that she even bought Sophie a little rain hat and jacket! She also sent us tons of photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Suzy truly went above and beyond. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough….Suzy is an absolute gem.”
“Madeleine was great! She took care of our 2 dogs for 4 days and nights while we were at Lake Burton for a fishing tournament. She did an awesome job, and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Madeleine and I hope to hire her again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”

Reese was great! She came in and took care of our two dogs and cat for the whole weekend. She gave us plenty of updates and was amazing with communication. We were traveling abroad so it made the rest of the trip easy knowing that our pets were being cared for. The whole process was so smooth with Reese and I would highly recommend her!
You can't put a price on "trust." We just moved to Gainesville and lost our dog/house sitter. Our dog sitter from Augusta recommended Rover and we are glad she did because we found Sara! Wow! We came home last night to a house cleaner than we left it and a very happy pooch! We will NEVER use anyone else. We have found our trusty partner and house/dog sitter and it sure is a good feeling. Sara is the best!

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 White Sands 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 White Sands 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 White Sands 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.
