“Maura was amazing with our dogs! She was very prompt in answering messages and went above and beyond to make sure our 3 dogs were taken care of while we went on a mini vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Briana did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our cat, puppy and older dog. She even came the day before so I could go over details with her. Would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Kaitlin did a wonderful job with our dog. I was nervous as this is the first time we’ve used her and she exceeded our expectations! She helped work on his behavior issues and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will be definitely using her anytime we go out of town!”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat them like family while they’re with me. I previously owned a husky, so I’m familiar with caring for high-energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and lots of engagement. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, young, or older. I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Hi! I’m an animal lover and expecting my first baby girl in June, so I’m looking for a reliable and flexible way to earn income while spending precious time with my little one. I’ve always loved being around dogs and would love to help with walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and will treat your pets like family 🤍 I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates/photos for peace of mind.
About: I have cared for cats and many different breads of dogs over the past several years. Not only will I provide quality care for your pet(s), but I will love them as if they were my own. My availability to care for your pets in your home is flexible. I am open to daytime, evening, or overnight hours. I am also available for extended time periods while you are away. I will come to your home to care for your pet(s), which will allow them to remain in the comfort, safety and security of their familiar environment.
“Tatum was awesome. She took the best care of my dogs (5 of them) and my house. Kept me informed of everything including coyotes who broke through the fence and snowfall we had, shoveled a path for our big boy to do his business, Swept the floors and took out trash. She even brought in the mail. We will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I work full-time as a veterinary assistant. Caring for animals is both my career and my passion. Through my experience in veterinary medicine, I am comfortable working with pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, and pets with special needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and helping anxious or nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime and exercise, medication administration, or extra patience and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I work full-time on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On those days, I am available for pet care visits before 7:00 AM and after 6:00 PM. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress while their owners are away. I ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort based on each pet’s personality and needs. With my veterinary assistant experience, I am comfortable providing additional care such as administering oral medications, monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health, and giving extra support to senior or anxious pets. I also offer services including dog walking, nail trims, and bathing when needed. My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind with reliable updates and communication throughout each visit.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals for as long as I remember! My parents used to call me the animal whisperer and I used to take care of all the neighborhood animals while their families were away growing up. I am constantly around animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable around any sort of pet and i’m willing to learn how to best take care of your animal! I love walks, hikes, or taking a trip to a dog park of some sort! I’ve always grown up around animals and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, one cat needing special attention for her medications, so i’m prepared for any special treatment! I’m currently in nursing school whilst also bartending a couple nights during the week but I have plenty of free time and I’m very flexible! I have 3 very playful dogs and 2 mellow cats, one needing special care for her medications so I’m always vigilant to any kind of specific care that your animals may need. I’d love to spend more time outside this summer but I also love a couch potato!
About: As an experienced dog/house sitter who has rescued/fostered numerous dogs in the past 18 years and also a volunteer at my local animal shelter, I treat your family members as my own while they are in my care. I understand leaving your animals with someone can be very stressful not only for you but your furry family members. I don't mind staying in your home as I know some animals are more comfortable and less stressed in their own environment. I am a full time remote worker since 2020. I am very much a homebody who enjoys watching true crime shows, reading and doing puzzles. I like to get to know the owners and pets and stick to their normal routine as to not cause more stress for the animals while their owners are away.

I can work with any schedule that fits you best ! I have five dogs myself! We have 7 acres we let them run free on, but if we do go in public they are always on leashes. I can 100% trust them but you never know with other animals so just a safety hazard ! I’ve cared for dogs with fenced in yards and without so I’m fine with either !

About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything. I now have 2 dogs both smaller. I cared for a large dog for a year he was over 100 pounds. super sweet and loving he was my best friend.

The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off. I am currently living with roommates so I will have to come to your residence, but that is not a problem for me especially since the pet will already be comfortable with the environment. When I meet a new pet I am very patient with them I will let them come to me to be sure they are okay with me being in their territory.

FAQs for House Sitting - Abe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Abe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Abe 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 Abe 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 Abe 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abe. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
