“Terri was SO wonderful!! She was flexible with a last minute booking and took such good care of my babies! I got lots of updates, and I could tell they were getting lots of love. She really thought of everything with them and left my apartment super clean and tidy. She’s absolutely the best sitter!”
“Martha was great with Suki. She was kind, gentle, and concerned for her well-being while we were out of town. She was also flexible with our stay when we had some date changes, two weeks before our travel. She left the house clean and clutter-free. She even did extra things like bring in the mail and take out the trash before she left. She was communicative with us while we were traveling so we knew that Suki was in good hands, and happily cared for during our vacation. Would not hesitate to have Martha watch Suki and the house again in the future. Please contact her if you want someone to watch your beloved furry 'child' and house while you are on vacation, with no worries.”
“Stephanie should absolutely be ranked a 5 star sitter on Rover. She was the best pet sitter we've ever had. She took excellent care of our pets and maintained consistent communication with pictures letting us know that the life of our pets was unchanged in our absence. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to provision her services for future trips!.”
“Jade was such a great dog sitter! She stayed at our house and watched both of our dogs. They are very energetic and require a lot of exercise and Jade delivered! She was very responsive and very caring as well! Jade will treat your dogs as if they were her own!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love as my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, it gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. I follow each pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, while providing plenty of attention, as well as affection, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment.
“Joyce was awesome. She was kind enough to come very early in the morning and stay with my pupster. She communicated very well, sent updates and was absolutely a rock star in caring for my Boston Terrier. Additionally, my dog loved Joyce as soon as she walked in the door and honestly, I trust my dog’s opinion about people 100%. Would absolutely recommend Joyce to care for your fur-babies!”
About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.
About: I've been caring for pets of all kinds since I was a little girl. For the last 5 to 6 years I've worked at multiple doggy daycares and boarding facilities. I can handle very large dogs. I can handle dog aggressive dogs, and ones who are potentially aggressive towards humans. I'm trained to administer medication, such as insulin, and ect. If you have any questions for me feel free to ask! I currently drive for uber and doordash so my schedule is pretty flexible, I'm able to work weekdays and weekends. If you need me I can be there! Since I have years of experience in kennel I will follow any specific instructions given to me to care inside your home. I'm super aware of different dogs quirks and different needs.
About: I absolutely love dogs and am always happy to give them the attention they need! Whether they’re looking for someone to run around and play with, go on an adventure, or simply curl up and get endless belly rubs, I’m there for them. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their personality and figuring out exactly what makes their tail wag! I am currently part-time so I have extra time to spend providing care to your fur babies! However even when I am full-time, I have a flexible schedule! I make sure their environment is safe and remains safe! I want them to stay in their routine and feel comfortable in their own home!
“Teresa always goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of our fur kids! They absolutely LOVE her and we know that they are being well cared for while we are gone. She is in constant communication giving us updates and sending us photos. She is the best caregiver! When we need a pet sitter, Teresa is our first call! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a dog and or a cat since I was extremely young. I’ve grown up taking care of the animals as in walking them, feeding them, cleaning up theirs duties even bathing them. I have a two dogs of my own now their names are Lucky and Archie and they LOVE LOVE other animals Lucky is fascinated by cats and loves to play with any and every dog. So you’ll most definitely get your animal back tired. I can either pet sit at my house, or I am even comfortable pet sitting at yours. I do work only about 10 minutes from my work. I am an optometrist technician. My husband however does work from home! So there will be someone home all day with them. I have a fenced yard and two other fur babies to keep your babies company. I do not work from home but my husband does!
“Robert was so great with our pitbull. He was willing to meet him ahead of time to make sure Finn would be good and get to know the new space. Robert was quick to communicate back. For someone who doesn't leave their dog with just anyone, it was easy for me to leave him with Robert. Robert genuinely loves dogs, and helped save our night out while we were on vacation.”
“Alexa was great! She looked after our dog and cat for a couple nights, and gave us great updates. This was our dogs first time with a house sitter, and she made it a great experience for him!”
“Fiona did an excellent job caring for our two dogs! We had her stay at our house for the booking and she went the extra mile and put out our garbage, grabbed packages and kept things nice and tidy! She followed our instructions for the dogs perfectly and even when they had issue come up she dealt with them immediately. Even from the photos you could see each our dogs were happy and content while we were gone. Thank you again Fiona! You are THE BEST!!”
About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As I grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I have full time availability currently. I am usually up around 5/6am so I am happy to do early mornings. I am up for late night drop ins as well if needed. I do not have a yard but I love to take the dogs to parks and walk around. If they are potty trained, I am more than happy to keep them in my house.
“Ryan was able to accommodate us last minute for two separate days that we had to be out of town for the whole day. He is responsive and will update you when he arrives and leaves.”

Martha was great we were very happy with her care for Molly. She sent photos each day and it was very comforting to see our little Molly being well cared for. She went out of her way to make sure the house was kept well. We would certainly call for Martha to house sit and care for our Molly again. We have tried before to have her, but she was booked already. We were able to book because we were aware of the dates in advance. Thank You, Martha, Sue
Cole did an outstanding job watching our pups. He is a fantastic communicator and made sure that we knew how are dogs were every second of the day. He went above and beyond to make them comfortable and even went the extra mile by cleaning up the house while we were gone! I would recommend Cole to anyone and can’t wait to have him watch the dogs again soon.

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 Whites Ford 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 Whites Ford 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 Whites Ford 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.
