“Nicole was wonderful to our pups! This was the first time we’ve left them overnight since adopting them so we were a little nervous at first. But she completely calmed our nerves!! I cannot thank her enough for treats them like they are hers. We will for sure be using her again! Thank you, Nicole!!”
“Dawn is an absolute gem and took amazing care of our Boxer rescue, Bruno. She sent regular updates with tons of pictures (something our daughters loved) over the three days we were gone. Dawn went above and beyond during her stay and we are grateful to have found someone who can handle our anxious boy. In fact, we’ve already rebooked her for our beach vacation this summer!”
“Ozlen was great! She texted me several times a day with updates about Duke, sent lots of pics, and didn't hesitate to reach out with any questions -- I felt very connected the entire time I was gone. I also had some changes in my flight schedule and she was very accommodating and flexible with that as well. Everything in the house was just as I left it -- and, even though I was planning on putting the garbage can out when I got home, she had already done that (which was greatly appreciated since I had a very late return flight). And to show you what a real trooper she is, there was apparently a mouse caught in the glue trap in the garage, and she even managed to put that in the garbage can before taking it out -- definitely above and beyond what was expected!”
“Whitney was absolutely fantastic, and we could not have asked for a better house sitter for Beau and Gracie. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. While we were away, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Beau and Gracie were clearly comfortable and happy with her, and it was obvious she took the time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks. Our home was also left in great shape, which we really appreciated. It is not easy to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and Whitney exceeded expectations on all fronts. We would not hesitate to book her again (and are actually already booked again) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”
“Rachel was very flexible and reliable house sitting with our dog for a long weekend. Our dog seemed happy and our house was well taken care of. Rachel sent photos and updated which is always appreciated.”
“Rachel was a “dreamboat” for our senior pups! She was available for them during the daytime and woke up early with them every morning! We could not ask for a better experience with a sitter for Sallie and Pixie and our home. If we have needs in the future she will be the first one we call!”
“John was so great! He took awesome pictures of the babies and spend tons of time just loving on them. He did a great job with the litter boxes and special feeding schedules/meds for our whole zoo. Thank you!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs for my friends and family since college and until recently, had an amazing little Maltese named Sawyer for 14 wonderful years. After his passing earlier this year, I have had 3 different housesitting jobs for my friends which has shown me how much I miss having an animal companion, but I am just not ready to get another one. The max number of dogs that I have ever watched was four but depending on temperament, I could be comfortable with more. By working from home, I’m able to care for dogs in my home or travel to your home, depending on your preference. My typical work schedule is 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and because I work remotely, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I’m happiest when I’m curled up with a good book and a fur baby nearby. My experience with pet sitting has primarily been with families whose pets are not crate trained, so I’m very comfortable with pets having access to furniture and sleeping in the bed. The animals in my life have always been treated as part of the family, and I’m comfortable accommodating different routines and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs who are graze eaters as well as dogs who follow a specific feeding schedule. Before he passed, my little guy was taking several medications, so I’m also comfortable administering medications and keeping up with specific timing and routines. I live in a ranch-style townhouse with a yard, although it is not fenced in. Because of this, I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor time and would not allow a pet outside unattended.
“Nicole was amazing with our Sadie girl! She made our first time leaving our fur baby seamless with detailed updates, and lots of love to our girl! We look forward to booking with her again.”
“Lauren is the best. From the moment I met her I felt completely comfortable with her and trusted her to stay in our house and to take care of our dog as her own. She is competent and reliable. She is very communicative and sends pictures and videos. Her dog Opal is sweet and was a perfect match for our lab puppy!”
“Erin did an amazing job taking care of our two senior dogs! We had our regular sitter cancel last minute and reached out to Erin. We met her in person the next day and loved the questions she asked, as well as the thought she put into the conversation. We came home to two happy pups and a clean house. I would definitely recommend Erin!”
“Olivia was AMAZING! We had to book a last minute house sitting appointment and Olivia met with us two days later to do a meet and greet with our animals to make sure we were all comfortable. She sent us photos while we were gone and kept us updated. I will absolutely rebook with her in the future!”
“Zulma is an amazing human. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful. Our pup enjoyed his time with Zulma so much. Zulma shared photos with us every day of our pup and her hanging out. She left our home even cleaner than we left it. When Zulma watches our pup we do not have to worry about anything.”
“We’ve booked Nathan more than once now and he’s really great. Very dependable, follows our care instructions, is responsive, and keeps us updated. Highly recommend booking him. Thank you for taking great care of our boys!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Will-O-Dean Acres
We had such a great experience with Meghan! She stayed at our home with our two dogs for the weekend, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving our girls in her care. It was our first time using Rover and having someone stay in our home, and she made the whole experience so easy! Her communication was wonderful, she sent lots of pictures, and she spoiled our girls in all the best ways! She also took great care of our home. Everything was so clean when we got back, you wouldn’t have known anyone had stayed! We’re so happy we found her and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 😊
Christy was so caring and attentive to my dog and it meant so much to know he was in good hands while I was away. I loved getting all the sweet updates and pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. She also took such great care of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
John was able to help us out with pet sitting needs last minute for a weekend and everything went very smoothly between communication following the directions that I left and we discussed and dogs being very happy upon our return and everything in good order. The photos were very helpful throughout the weekend and the updates.
Zulma is an amazing human. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful. Our pup enjoyed his time with Zulma so much. Zulma shared photos with us every day of our pup and her hanging out. She left our home even cleaner than we left it. When Zulma watches our pup we do not have to worry about anything.
6/5⭐️’s for Taylor!! She was absolutely amazing! We were gone for 12 days and that’s the longest we have ever left them, so I was extremely nervous. We have five pets which all have different needs of care and Taylor did a fantastic job with all of them. I recieved multiple check ins a day and plenty of pictures of all of my babies! She even clipped my Dalmatian’s nails that we forgot to trim in our pre-travel stress. She watered my plant children and even mowed our yard! 🤯 I already have her booked for our next trip in November and for two trips next year 🤭
Nicole is a fantastic Dogsitter. She’s knowledgeable and caring and you can tell she loves animals and they love her! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She left our house sparkling clean and even watered my plants. We can’t wait to have her back!
We had a wonderful experience with Callie! She stayed overnight at our home with our two dogs for the weekend and took excellent care of them. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. One thing we especially appreciated was the regular updates and photos she sent throughout the weekend. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to two happy pups and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Raven watched our 2 golden doodles for 2 weeks! They loved her and so did we. Raven is so sweet and she did everything we asked and more. This was the first time we have ever left our pups ( age 6 & 13) with anyone and they were happy with Raven. So nice to know we have her for the next time.

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 Will-O-Dean Acres 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 Will-O-Dean Acres 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 Will-O-Dean Acres 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.
