“Amazing sitter! We had to book pretty last minute and she came and did a meet and greet the week before. She gave lots of updates and communicated well - we didn’t have much service while gone and felt great with Brooklyn watching them 😊”
“Alex did a great job. She made sure I had updates every day on my little Rhea. She’s a very timid little thing she sent pictures everyday and came and met her three times before we even had her booked. I would have her back for sure. Tip was offered she was grateful”
About: Have had multiple pets since I was born from indoor to outdoor pets, animals that need special care and senior pets. I love my animals and would hope to give your mind ease when your pets need cared for and are in great hands when your not there. I am currently a highschool graduate looking for a job to further my want and desire to work with animals for the foreseeable future! Thanks Consistent love, attention and affection. I will also make sure they are well taken care of while in my care. Whether it's in your home or out on a walk.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life for the last 35 years cats dogs, have a large house with a doggie door and I have one spare bedroom. If cats want to not be involved with my two dogs with beds in them that are completely unused for your cat. If it needs to be by itself or for your dog, it’ll work out perfect I’m basically retiredand I work 15 hours a week so I’m home most of the time I am home all the time so caring for animals will be fine. I have a couple extra cages and spare bedroom. Plenty of room. The animals will be allowed inside. I am home every day work just part-time. They will be taken care of very well. Even have separate bedrooms for animals that needs special care or just for any safety issues.
“Morgan was amazing with our pups. She took care of them like they were her own. She did all we asked of her and more. We will definitely keep her on our list. I would highly recommend her.”
About: 10+ years of veterinary medicine experience across 3 states - Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, birds, livestock, you name it. I am flexible schedule-wise, with plenty of endurance for multiple walks/arrangements a day and patience for chaos. I've managed to turn my passion and love for animals into a job that makes both of our lives easier! I am currently working part time, and looking to make new furry friends and a little extra cash. My schedule is pretty flexible and transportation is reliable. Open to weekly visits or as needed for travel/occasions. I live in a home with a fenced yard in Butte. Right now there are 2 dogs and a cat in the residence. Unless otherwise agreed upon, I will never share a client’s personal info, photos of their pet, and will always make sure to lock up safe and sound when leaving a client’s residence.
“Suzanne went above and beyond in every aspect of her stay with Lou and Lobo, walking them often, communicating clearly and sending updates. I was confident they were her primary focus and work during her stay. We would be grateful to book with her again. I rarely leave my dogs when I travel and appreciate the excellent, conscientious in home care Sarah provided Lou and Lobo.”

Chris was amazing; I cannot recommend him enough! He truly went above and beyond with Dax, even walking him to the dog park. You could tell Dax loved spending time with him because he actually whined when Chris left. I truly appreciate everything he did. Thank you so much, Chris!
Alex was a wonderful house and pet sitter during a long weekend away! Truly took all of our separation anxiety away knowing she was taking such great care of our animals. She provided multiple daily updates and photos which was such a lovely touch. She’s very responsible, communicative, caring and friendly. Thank you, Alex!
Tammi was absolutely wonderful. From the moment she came to meet our girls, she asked thoughtful and caring questions to ensure she could take the very best care of them. She left our home—and even the girls’ coats—better than she found them. We are so, so grateful and will be reaching out to her first every single time. 💜

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 Williamsburg 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 Williamsburg 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 Williamsburg 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.
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.
