“Madeline was a great pet sitter for my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She was very communicative and had detailed daily updates. You can tell she really cares about the animals she takes care of, I would happily book her again!”
“Kate is amazing! She took great care of our Fiona, sent many updates with pictures and took wonderful care of our home. We highly recommend Kate for your dog/house sitting needs!!”
“Awesome young lady who is great at what she does. I’d have her back a 100xs over to watch my fur babies. They enjoyed her and we felt safe knowing she was there with them. 10 stars if possible.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have helped take care of them as long as I can remember from the time they are puppies to adults! I also have pet-sat for neighbors and other family members growing up. I am a physician assistant who is on the job hunt currently but hoping to have some pet sitting opportunities in the meantime as it is something I enjoy. I have a fairly flexible schedule currently and would love to fit in some time spent watching or entertaining some doggies! I can easily build my schedule around stopping in to check on dogs and/or house sit. I will follow all instructions given by client’s and follow their requests for their pets. I will look out for the pet’s wellbeing and make sure they are well taken care of.
About: I’ve watched all sorts of animals from rats and hamsters to puppies and adult dogs. I love animals and I want to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I have a partially blind fully deaf dog who was born like that so I absolutely have experience with disabilities and special needs. I can handle all sorts of pets i’m not scared of any animals and I believe that every animal is someone’s whole life and you need to make sure they’re treated like royalty. I also own a bunny and a kitten so whatever animal you have i’ll make sure to give them the best care possible. I am a college student and currently have classes 3 days a week but i’m hoping to move that to one or two days for future semesters. I cannot have pets in my home as i have 3 animals already. In your home I would want them to be leashed or have a fence of some sort to go outside, on walks etc. I am comfortable walking large dogs as long as they do not have a record of trying to get away. If you have any questions or concerns about specific things please feel free to ask!
“Elizabeth was super helpful and very flexible with my crazy schedule. She took my dogs to the park and gave them lots of love and sent great pictures of them while I was away. I didn’t have to worry about a thing the entire trip. She even stayed late when my flight was delayed and left the house clean and tidy. Can’t wait to use her services again!”
“We found Lizz when we had a sitter cancel at the last minute due to a family emergency. In a panic, I found Lizz and she was extremely responsive and came to sit for our boys a few days after I contacted her. Would recommend her for any pet sitting. Thanks Lizz!”
“Molly is amazing! She is accommodating, kind and trustworthy. My four labradoodles loved her! I received regular pictures of my pets while I was away. Molly will be my go to person for all future business trips and vacations. Molly, you are the best!!!!!”

“Randi is amazing - I just moved to the area from out of state, and was super anxious to find the right person for for my pup when I’m away. I knew Randi would be perfect after speaking to her via video chat, and confirmed again when we met for a meet and greet. She is very kind and intuitive, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. Randi made sure everything was followed flawlessly while I was away in terms of feeding, house things, potty breaks, etc, and went above and beyond with my dogs walks - she was sure to take him on loooong walks with new scenery, and was so attentive to all of his quirks. She sends many updates, and I was never concerned and/or worried about if my dog was left long or wasn’t getting attention - Randi is an excellent communicator so there is no room or need for worry. My pup was super happy when I came back and I knows he’s already missing his new friend. I cant wait to hire her again :)”

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 Wolcott Mills 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 Wolcott Mills 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 Wolcott Mills 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.
