“Sam is the absolute best dog sitter we have ever had the pleasure of having stay in our home. While we are not there to see how she interacts with our dogs and cat, they seem relaxed when we arrive home which was never the case if we left before having a sitter. Today, while the sit was close to ended (or maybe already had ended), our home lost power and Sam STAYED with them and made decisions for their safety while we were not easily reachable. Thankfully it only lasted an hour but I appreciate her not quickly leaving knowing how dangerous that can be during GA summers. Sam also takes the BEST pet pictures while we're gone. She captures their personalities and what they did during the day perfectly. I cannot recommend this sitter enough. She will always been my go to person for pet sitting.”

“Kelly came in a very difficult time for us when we had a family emergency. Is answered immediately when we needed her and took great care of our dog and home. Kelly is truly special and I will absolutely use her again. Thank you Kelly!”

About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover and almost certified dog trainer, with hands-on experience working in a kennel environment. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy pups to shy or anxious dogs. Safety, structure, and positive reinforcement are really important to me, and I always make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’d love to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting—whatever your pup needs! I treat every dog like they’re my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I currently have a part time job so that allows me plenty of time for your pups! Whatever their needs may be, I’m sure I can fit it into my schedule. I have a fenced yard with space for your pup to run around as well at 2 friendly dogs they can play with to keep them company. I will be sure your pups stay in their routine with potty breaks, feeding time, walks, etc whether you choose to bring them to my home or if you prefer me to come to them!
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to give your pets the extra attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your pets to have a fun, comfortable experience and for you to feel completely confident knowing they’re being cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m dependable, organized, and enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and cuddles into my schedule while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I plan ahead so I can be consistent and present during each visit, rather than rushing through care. I also make time to send pet parents updates and photos, helping you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I like to think of pet sitting as stepping into a pet’s world without disrupting it. I pay attention to the small details—their favorite spot to nap, the sound they make when they want attention, the toys they ignore, and the routines that help them feel at ease. My goal is to make your absence feel as uneventful as possible for them. During each visit, I’ll follow your instructions carefully while adding plenty of patience, playtime, affection, walks, meals, fresh water, litter box care, and whatever else your pet needs. I won’t treat the visit like a quick checklist; I’ll take the time to notice how your pet is doing and respond to their personality and mood. I’ll also leave your home even better than I found it and keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos—not just proof that I stopped by, but little glimpses of how your pet is spending their day.
“We love love loved Rachel! My pups loved her, she was so amazing with them. Absolutely great communication!! So many photos and updates. We 100% will be booking Rachel again.”

“She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! They warmed up to her very nicely, even my dog who has anxiety and usually takes more time to get comfortable with new people. That made me feel so much better about leaving them in her care. When I returned, my home was exactly the way I left it, and I had no concerns or problems at all. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Shirley did a great job with our zoo (2dogs and 4cats). They were comfortable with her. She also took care of our house while we were away. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies and your house. Thank you Shirley!”

About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.
“Cindy was a great sitter for Tippy! He is a very anxious dog. She was patient with him and waited until he came to her. She worked with him to get him to eat while I was gone. I highly recommend Cindy! She worked with me when I had to leave a day early. She came in and took care of things.”

About: I am currently going to school to become a veterinarian, which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. I have been trusted by friends, family, neighbors, and mutual connections to care for their animals since I was young. In addition, I have pet-sat for many furry friends and worked in veterinary clinics for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience caring for puppies/kittens and senior pets. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic, but I have breaks throughout the day and a flexible schedule. This allows me to make pet care a priority, with plenty of time for visits, play, feeding, and attentive care throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I currently have a dog who is crate trained when I am not present, helping maintain a calm and safe environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions or precautions provided by the owner. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, patience, and attentive care. I also take time to build trust with both pets and their owners and communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.
“Destiny was very professional, sending photos throughout and keeping in touch the whole time I was away. She stayed in my home and left no trace. My pup really seemed to like her as well during the meet and greet. Would definitely recommend and will be using again!”

“Rachel did a great job. She was very attentive to our little Miss Lola. The house was clean and she washed and made our bed again before we got home. Definitely recommend her and will use her again.”

About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
“James did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation. He sent me pics and videos every day so I could see how my boys were doing. The house was spotless and so was the litter box. Highly recommend! And I would definitely re-hire.”

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 Yorkville 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 Yorkville 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 Yorkville 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.

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.

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.
