“First time leaving my dogs behind on a trip. Chelsea took great care of them! I was concerned alot about one of them who's half blind and deaf eating, she glady kept me updated if she ate or not.”
“Susan took great care of Sullivan while out of town for one night. She successfully administered his medication, gave him lots of cuddles & outside time & provided pictures as well as updates. She was also very willing to help out with a last-minute request. We definitely plan to use Susan again in the future!”
“Julie watched our three pets for four nights while we were out of town and did a wonderful job. It was not the easiest situation as we have a highly anxious dog who is slow to warm up to new people and a high needs, elderly cat. We were worried about finding somebody to do all of the things involved in making it a stress free weekend for the animals, but Julie seemed to work magic and everyone was happy and well cared for while we were gone. Her communication was great and it was nice to get updates and know that I was OK back at home. We arrived home to happy animals and a very tidy house, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely have Julie over again the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend.”
“Jennifer is great. Perfect match to watch my older, finicky pup. Really impressed with her pre-visit planning. Really can't say enough good things about her.”
“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
“Sabrina was wonderful and the dogs loved her! She picked up our mail and pulled the trash can inside. We're very picky who watches are pups and we will definitely ask Sabrina back.”
“Jen was wonderful! We have an overly energetic GSP puppy who is not the easiest to handle. Birdie took to Jen right away and usually takes much longer to warm up to strangers. Jen was very thorough and kept us posted. Highly recommend Jen for anyone’s fur baby.”
About: I have had multiple dogs, cats, & small pets my entire life. (48 years) I did boarding with Rover in my home for several years with great reviews, however my current doggo does not love other dogs, so I strictly do check-ins and house sitting at client’s homes. I have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to house/pet sit during the week, as well as weekends. I’d love to spend time with your fur children and give them all the loving!! Available for pet sitting 7 days a week! I work 2nd shift M-Th, but have some flexibility for pop-in visits during that time and can do mornings and overnights any day of the week. Can care for dogs, cats, and small pets. I will follow your pet care instructions and make sure all their needs are met. Snuggles and play time guaranteed! I have been caring for animals for many years. I currently have 4 pets myself!
“Kevin was great! he made sure to ask plenty of questions so that he could take full care of my 11 month old Rottweiler and made sure I was informed at all times while I was away. he even sent me the cutest pictures of her every day! I will definitely use Kevin for as long as he has dog sitting!!”
“Natalie was awesome! She was auper communicative with us while we were away. Keeping us updated on our Driggsy while we were away. Was very respectful of our home and she tooke great care of our big girl!”
“Leaving your pups for a vacation can be stressful. Alaina really helped ease that anxiety by sending us pictures daily and keeping us updated. Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and got lots of snuggles. Thanks again for all your help!”
“Rowan did a great job caring for my Boston Terrier and yearling kitty! Both are rescue pets that have been part of the family for 7 months, so they needed reassurance when we were gone. Rowan did everything just right for them.”
“Sara, you are an absolute gem!!! Thank you and your beautiful daughter for taking such good care of our babies and home! The regular communication and pictures was wonderful and put us at ease while we traveled to Montana. 5 stars simply enough!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Dwana and Chuck were amazing! They sent tons of pictures and took excellent care of Sylvie and our home while we were away. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Jeanette was so good with our dogs!! She left our house spotless and even washed the sheets she used. She was amazing at keeping us updated and sent us cute pictures of our girls. I would definitely recommend having Jeanette (Donna) keep your pups company while out of town.”
About: I was raised by a dog whisperer so from a young age I learned dogs' behaviors and how to read their body language. I spent most of my young adult life in volunteering in dog shelters, respecting their boundaries but being there even if they were not ready. To me, dogs are everything. They live such a small portion of our lives. I am dedicated to making sure that their life is everything it should be. I am well experienced with large breeds as I am with small. I am experienced with rescues along with purebreds. I work well with the seniors, as I just lost a 19 y/o Beagle who wore a diaper and was in a rear-leg wheelchair. Along with that dog, I have a Cane Corso, an American Pitbull, a Staffordshire terrier, and 3 Boston Terriers. All of my dogs have gone through AKC training, and the two largest have went into reactivity training. From training to basic TLC, I know I could be an asset to your loved one. I work from home but have a flexible schedule if need drop in visits or a quick walk. It all depends on proximity to my home. In my client's home, it is very important for me to vocalize to the dog that this is their territory and their space so we can take it slow. I intend to build a relationship with the not just the dog but the owners that lasts so doing so, it is important to respect them and their dogs' boundaries.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wide Awake
Cassie was so wonderful with our dog Piper!! I was so grateful to have her with us this past week, I don’t know what I would have done without her. She took great care of Piper, walked her, played with her, cuddled up with her and gave her all the love. So grateful to have met Cassie!
We have a pup with some medical issues and requires medications/ some extra care and we are so happy that Jennifer was able to take care of our pups. She took such great care of them and kept us updated throughout the stay. We could tell our doggos love her and had a blast. We felt at ease with her watching them and definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
Mariah was a dream! Her attention to detail and excellent communication kept us assured that our dogs and ducks were in good hands while we were out of town. It was such a relief to find someone trustworthy and responsible to care for our animals and house and we will definitely be singing her praises and contacting her for future trips!
Lovely lovely lovely! Kate made sure my puppy Rhubarb was well taken care of while I was out of town. I received photos and videos and updates while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly in my absence. I came home to a tidy house and even a home-made dog cookie in the fridge for little Rhu! Will be reaching out to Kate again if I need a sitter- no question! ✨🙌
Marisa was great with my boys! I felt totally at ease with her watching them in my home. She was great at communication and sending pictures. I was looking for someone to spend most of thier time in the home with my babies and she was able to do just that. Even went so far as to let me know when she was leaving and when to expect her back. Marisa made being out of town for the holidays stress-free. I would recommend her services to anyone and plan to book with her again!
Nicole was so lovely and took such good care of our babies while we were away! She was very respectful of our space and was so easy to check in with. Our dogs were even slow to warm up to her, but she was so patient with them and they were obsessed by the end of the weekend! We can’t wait for another opportunity to have Nicole stay with our girls 🥰

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 Wide Awake 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 Wide Awake 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 Wide Awake 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.
