About: I have worked with and been around animals my ENTIRE life, I will always make sure your animals are treated with love and respect and give them all the happy little pats! I am entirely free all the time currently, so I can easily take care of pets of all kinds any day of the week at any time! I have plenty of experience keeping big dogs on the leash if needed, seeing as Husky's have a VERY strong pull, and I learned how to make sure they are safe on all the walks and in homes.
“Bethany is our go-to dog sitter anytime we travel! She provides daily updates with pics/videos to let us know Luna is safe & happy while we are away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Victoria was a great sitter. My dog had just been neutered so I wanted him to be watched at home. She came on time and was very respectful being in the home. Will definitely book again!”
“Very kind, gentle, loving sitter! She always sent us pictures and updates and we felt very at ease with Ashley caring for our 3 large dogs. So glad there shenanigans didn't bother her or she was too nice to say anything. Highly recommend !”
“This is the 2nd time Audra has watched our dogs in our home. The dogs love having her here and it’s a relief that someone is home with them while we are away! We will definitely be asking Audra to house/pet sit again!”
“I was totally amazed and relieved with Christina. She took care of my 11 years old dog, Jack, who has been stressed because of a recent move, in my home. As soon as she arrived, he could tell she was an animal lover. His anxiety went away, and he just enjoyed being loved on by her. My 16 year old cat responded to her the same way. Usually aloof, MooShu shared the love too. Christina was happy, helpful and engaged. She took Jack on walks. She cleaned my house! She watered my plants. She sent pictures and communicated very well. She put me totally at ease and I felt secure leaving my sweet pets with her. I was thrilled. I did not have to take them to a place with which they were not familiar and I knew that instead of being anxious all week, they would have fun and be loved on. When I got home, they were more relaxed than they have been since the move. Christina has a special gift with animals and I am so grateful for her.”
“So happy with Brandisha! Pets and house lovingly cared for. It’s so comforting to get pictures and updates and to know all is well. She even stripped the bed and washed the towels.”
About: What sets me apart is the vast experience I've gained from caring for a wide range of dogs, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve successfully handled the responsibility of caring for 6+ dogs at once, demonstrating my ability to manage multiple pets with different needs and personalities. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work part-time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pets. With pets of my own at home, I'm already accustomed to daily pet care, ensuring that your pets will receive the attention and love they need. In my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment for pets by providing plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet's routine closely, ensuring they get the proper exercise, meals, and attention. For my clients' homes, I make sure to respect their space while offering the same level of care, following their instructions closely, whether it's feeding, walking, or giving medication. I keep pets entertained, comfortable, and secure, ensuring they feel at home, whether it's in their own space or mine.
“Allison was great! Sunni and Shadow took right to her, which does not always happen! She did a great job walking feeding them and giving them thier meds! Highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after thier furbabies!”
About: there has never been a time growing up that i did not have a dog in the household. i currently do not have a pet of any kind but i have always been a dog lover and that will never change. i am almost always free anytime of the day, any day of the week. i have always loved being around animals so being able to care for yours makes me feel very helpful and it gives me a purpose to pursue things in my life. I do want to be able to care for your pet inside of your home just because i have witnessed animals having seperation anxiety from their homes and it hurts me to see any dog or cat lose interest in doing the things they used to. i have watched dogs before inside of clients houses and i will always treat the house as how i would wish mine to be treated. and ofcourse i would give all the love in the world to your best friend!
“We recently went out of the country for 10 days and needed someone trustworthy to care for our dog, Kai. This was our first time using Rover, and trusting Rebecca with Kai was one of the best decisions we made! From the very beginning, Rebecca was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kai looked so happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. When we returned, Kai was calm, well-cared for, and his usual playful self—Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure he was loved and comfortable while we were away. If you’re looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog sitter, Rebecca is the one. She made our first Rover experience so easy, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Leilani is super sweet and respectful, just simply amazing. She kept in touch the whole time we were away, sending pictures and videos. She treated our pups like family and they loved her. Definitely recommend her.”
“Chloe did a super job, pet and house-sitting while we were away. We had daily contact and she readily answered any questions or concerns. We are so grateful to know our pets were well cared for while we were away!!! Thank you Chloe!”
About: I love taking care of animals, Growing up pets weren’t really allowed in my house. To be around them i cared and loved for other peoples, I’m young and love going on walks and runs, i have a growing passion for animals and hope to care and learn for these babies and my future. i have a very busy schedule but there’s my slow times during the day that i hope to fill instead of just sitting around, i love being active and getting out of the house I have always attended to my pets/outside strays the best i could, from giving them love to feeding and watering them I make sure to give them the attention they deserve
“Laura’s care of Paden and Rika was outstanding! They were happy and relaxed when we arrived last night. She communicated with us throughout our trip to assure all was well here at home including daily photos! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a caretaker for their pets and home.”
About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.
About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, farm animals and reptiles. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care has always been a part of my everyday life! I own a dog, two cats, a snake, bearded dragon, leopard gecko, and a betta fish, and that’s after I rehomed 5 animals lol. Caring for so many different animals has made taking care of pets a natural part of my daily routine. 🐾💕 I do not have a fenced-in backyard, so I wouldn’t have a private area to let your dog out, but we can always go somewhere public or use your yard if your home offers one. I also have a crate available if needed! I care for every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while sticking to their normal routines.

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 Winesap 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 Winesap 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 Winesap 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.
