About: I am a compassionate and reliable dog sitter with years of experience. I have had dogs all my life. I have a yard for them to play in and to do their business in. I am retired so I have plenty of time to be with your precious baby. I have no special obligations. I will show them all the love they need. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. I also have a crate if necessary. I will make your fur baby happy with whatever his or her needs are.
“Melissa did a great job. Dogs were happy and cared for. She even watered our flowers. She sent pics if the dogs with updates while we were gone . When we got home it was very much the way we left it . We and the dogs look forward to her next stay .”
About: A homebody who loves animals, I have two of my own an 8 year old dog named Chase who is the most energetic little dude and a cat who is 1 named Pluto and she is fiesty. I would love to be able to help care for your animals just like I care for mine.

I have a large fenced yard and a pup who loves to play with your fur babies!! I can easily crate if needed and they will get lots of snuggle!
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”
“Sara was fantastic at taking care of our dogs! She is an incredibly kind person and did phenomenal with random quirks our dogs have with strangers. She sent tons of updates and pictures and in every one our dogs looked relaxed and happy. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: With my dedication to personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs and skills in providing compassionate senior care all the way to feeding new puppies, I ensure your furry family members receive the attention and support they deserve, making their time away from you as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, even with a part-time job. I schedule visits or walks around my work hours, ensuring pets receive consistent care and attention. Mornings and evenings are typically reserved for feeding, exercise, and playtime, while medication schedules are strictly adhered to as per the client's instructions. This structured approach ensures pets remain happy, healthy, and well-cared for despite my other commitments. Overnight stay provided if needed. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being by following a tailored routine that includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, engaging in playtime and exercise, and offering plenty of affection and companionship. Additionally, I follow any specific instructions provided by the client regarding their pet's care, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.
About: I’m 29, i have previous experience working at a dog daycare/boarding. I am attentive and honest.

I do live with a small dog but she gets along well with other animals Your dog will always be taken care of and loved like my own. I am also available for drop ins and short notice if necessary. I am very flexible with my schedule and would love to help others with their busy schedules by taking care of their pets as I would my own.
About: I am well experienced with puppies, seniors, and large groups—15 puppies, 20 cats, and mixed breeds. I provide calm, structured, loving care for every pet. I work part time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide morning care daily and both morning and afternoon visits on weekends for consistent pet care. I provide daily feeding, regular walks, outside potty breaks, indoor puppy pad changes, backyard cleanup, and can arrange grooming to keep pets clean, healthy, and comfortable.
“Kyle and his fiancé did a wonderful job watching our pups in our home for a weekend. They were present, communicative, and left our home in great shape. Lots of cute pics and the pups seemed really happy!”
About: I've been sitting big breed dogs and have had them since I was a kid. If I could, I would have a dozen of them, but for now, I will babysit your dog. I work from home, and my partner also has a flexible schedule, so they are usually around too, providing your dog with companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Walks, backyard playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles are part of my daily routine. We value kindness, inclusivity, respect, and emotional safety. Our home is a judgment-free zone for people and pets. I have a fenced yard, nothing to jump off, and a friendly rescue yellow Labrador/pittie mix who loves to play with dog visitors. He is also great at reading dog body language and at giving new visitors their space until they are ready to engage. I’m experienced with dogs who have restrictions - physical, food sensitivities or allergies - or just need extra time settling in. As a former volunteer with Southern California Labrador Rescue, I fostered and pulled dogs from shelters. I understand the unique needs — and big hearts — that often come with rescue dogs. I love both in-home boarding and house sitting. Staying in a client’s home gives me a peaceful change of scenery for my writing and allows dogs to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available to house sit throughout Southern California. I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday. On weekends, we typically garden, cook, and go for walks or hikes. Snuggles, backyard playtime, and lots of interaction time are a critical part of my day with your dog. I am a homeowner with a fenced yard in a gated neighborhood, a rescue mutt to keep your dog company, and a cat. My teenager is also a dog lover who spoils our Charlie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I have dog beds, lots of water bowls, and time for pets. Our dog is a big hunk of love at 116 lbs, and I have always had big dogs. He LOVES having dog friends at the house.
About: I have 3 dogs, the oldest is 16, 7, 3 years old. They are furry family members that we love dearly!!! I can pet sit any age and love to cuddle and also taking them for walks. I have no problem picking up after them. I’m a Trusted Pet Sitter Who Treats Your Dog Like My Own! ❤️ I currently work from home so I can work from anywhere to keep your pups company while you work. Weekends and nights can be discussed. I can pet sit from your home to not make big changes to your best friend that way they can stay in their own environment, caring for them following your specific instructions.
“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”
“Sierra was incredible with our dog Buddy 2. He loves her. She played with him and our cats. She is amazing. Our house was also neat and clean. I didn’t have to worry about our dog. She sent us a daily picture of him and the cats. Sierra is an exceptional pet sitter. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I personally own 1 dog and 5 cats and owned many more before and they all lived long happy lives. Dogs are puppies to me, regardless their age. I also used to volunteer at a pet shelter - my duties included walking, feeding, cleaning kennels and socializing stray or feral animals so they could be adopted out to loving homes I would preferably take clients during weekdays but depending on dates and frequency I’d be open to some weekends as well, contact me to discuss further details I am willing to send photo/video updates to the owner(s) about their pets every day - morning routines, feeding, walk and play times, dinner time etc.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog and cat received! From the start, Yeilin was reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we came home, and our cat, who can be quite difficult was calm and content. Yeilin provided great communication throughout the entire experience, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our pets were treated like family. We highly recommend Yeilin's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
About: My name is Al and I don't mind spending time with any dog. Always a good time. If you select me for this job I'll do my best to make sure your dog(s) have a friendly healthy experience. I've never had a problem with dogs, even ones that bite. And I will pick up after them on walks. Whatever the situation is, it's no problem.

I will watch out for other dogs and your dogs safety, as well as anyone else and abuse. If there is any discrepancy you need to know I will tell you. If you have any questions, just ask. Thank you.

FAQs for House Sitting - Actis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 180 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Actis. 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 Actis 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 Actis 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 Actis 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 Actis. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
