“Spencer responded to a last minute request, agreed to meet me ahead of the sit to meet my dogs and was prompt and professional. He kept me well informed daily with photos and reports. I would highly recommend him!”


“Working with Melissa is so easy. She is super dependable and our three dogs seem to have a great time with her. We look forward to her watching our home and poochies again.”

“Brooke was an amazing buddy to Gizmo during our touristy visit to Cañon City! She put me totally at ease throughout the process with fast communication and was happy to hang with Giz in our motel room while we were out. He was very happy, relaxed, and clearly thrilled with her calm dog-person demeanor. Brooke really went the extra mile and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”

About: Our family had dogs since I was a young boy; I've had many since then. I've also trained them. We also had fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles and lizards as pets. Some 15 years ago, one of my dogs went blind... I cared for him for 10 yrs after that until he passed away. He never left my side. A few years ago, I got another dog but she died of cancer last year. At the moment, I don't have a dog (she died) but I have 5 cats. I do rather well with both and my cats are quite used to dogs. I used to live on a ranch where we raised Arabians; I was responsible for feeding & caring as many as 18 horses. When I was younger, I rode often and played polo. My father passed 10 yrs ago and his wife sold our ranch. I am available to feed horses provided that I'm paid the time it takes to travel back and forth. I am available for cat/dog sitting & feeding. If you need dog boarding, please let me know if you pet gets along with cats. I work from home, so I am a home quite a bit. I also have a flexible schedule, and this can be accomodated to work around certain issues or conflicts. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. I have a large (unfenced) yard, but I am willing to take your pet on walks in my neighborhood, as needed. I live one block away from a park. I am home quite often, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for drop-ins, visits, or even overnights.
“Maria did a great job watching our dog for five days! She kept us updated with messages and photos. Our dog has a couple special needs which she handled with care. Would highly recommend.”


About: Hello, a little bit about me is my mom was actually a miniature dog breeder while I was younger, and I would actually help her take care of the puppies, along with having the privilege to be with the little mama’s in the middle of the birthing process. It resulted in me learning how to take care of the many animals, and how to have a lot of patience lol. I, myself, have 2 baby dogs and 1 needy cat, so I understand how it is when they become your world. If you have any more questions about me, just feel free to ask! I know that it can be an overwhelming experience to find a good sitter, but I am here to make it as fun and relaxing as possible. Thank you so much, and I look forward to supporting you! I am currently working part-time at Farmers Insurance, and it is 1-5pm on Monday-Friday. I also just prefer a couple hours for the morning on Sundays to go to church, but all other hours I am completely free! I cannot take care of pets in my home sadly, but I will be able to soon! I will update you guys when that happens, but I am willing to drive to them for now!
About: I have had dogs ever since I was a little girl. I enjoy taking care and spending time with all dogs. I consider them family. I currently work full time and have time in the evenings and weekends. This is for stopping by to feed, water and let your furry friend out to run. If you have a fenced yard I can let your pet out or take them for a walk if a fenced yard is not the case.
“Debbie is an exceptional pet and house sitter! Given the flexibility in her work schedule, she took the initiative to come out and meet us and our dogs before we left our trip. This allowed us to walk her through their routine and familiarize her with our home, creating an immediate sense of confidence in leaving our dogs under her care. Debbie's warm personality, coupled with her thoughtful questions, endeared her to both us and our dogs right away. Throughout our time away, Debbie consistently provided daily updates, complete with photos, and maintained open communication whenever she had questions, demonstrating her commitment to ensuring our pets were well cared for. I really appreciated her proactive approach to keeping us informed. When we got home, we were delighted to find our home in pristine condition, if not even cleaner than we left it! Debbie's attention to detail and respect for our space was clear, reinforcing our decision to entrust her with both our pets and home. Given the positive experience, we have already booked her for our next trip! Debbie's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her a top choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet/house sitter.”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life and I love meeting new pets. I am perfectly comfortable caring for any pet of any size or condition! I work seasonal jobs and travel around the country but I am currently on my off-season so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I would love to hang out with your fur babies and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I love to be outside and will give your pets as much exercise and stimulation as they need.
About: Hello:) My name is Brylee. I live with two doggos myself, and love animals. I've had family pets growing up, and was always the designated pet sitter. I understand what an addition any beloved pet is, and am excited to get the opportunity to take care of your sweet addition! I work full time Monday through Friday, however I have one hour lunches if I needed to do checkups, and am available on weekends if needed. I live in a condo, with very friendly neighbors, most of whom have pets as well. My roommate and I love taking our dogs to the dog park, or cherry creek, letting them enjoy beautiful Colorado.
About: Not much that sets me apart besides the fact that I have ADHD which means I hyper focus on things and will just hyper focus on the things that your pet needs/wants. And since I am able to do that with the combination of my experience with my own pets your pets will love to stay with me. Pet care is my full-time focus. Because I don't have a traditional 9-to-5, my schedule is completely flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific routine. Whether they need a mid-day medication dose, extra-long walks, or just someone home for consistent companionship, I am available to provide undivided attention and quick responses throughout the day. I provide a "home away from home" experience rooted in consistency. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with a routine that mirrors their own. When visiting your home, I prioritize security and cleanliness, ensuring your pet feels safe in their natural habitat. Regardless of the location, I maintain your specific feeding, exercise, and medical schedules with 100% precision, supplemented by frequent photo updates and plenty of one on one attention.
“Ms. Chris was great with our two dogs! They can be anxious but when she came for the meet and greet they could feel her good energy and were comfortable with her. She did a quick overnight stay for us, and I would hire her again in the future. Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies, Chris!”

“Denise was wonderful. She was flexible with me when things were not working out as planned. She was suppose to come to our house to care for our dogs but due to some floor problems, we asked her if she would watch them at her house. She made that happen, which was a blessing. See sent pictures everyday sometimes twice a day. It was wonderful not to worry about our babies they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Denise and I will use her again. Donna”
About: Years of owning different pets or being around them. Have raised puppies into good dogs. Watched my buddies aged and learned how to take care of them and not push them too hard. I pay attention to subtle changes in the dogs behavior and adjust what is needed to ensure their safety and comfort. The days I have available are because I work full-time Tuesday through Friday and I do not have a set clock out time as it varies day by day. My off/free days are flexible, and any scheduled time is devoted to your pup. When I get to watch your dog at your home, I will follow the rules you have laid out. My goal will be to maintain the safe and calm environment you as the owner have set for the dog, but playing and horsing around as able.
About: Hi I'm Tori! I've been working closely and training with dogs for the better part of 8 years. When I first started working with dogs, I walked packs of 8-10 dogs off leash in San Francisco parks! I'm solely based in positive (R+) reinforcement training and love to help owners build their best relationships with their beloved pups! I am currently based in Colorado Springs. I'm familiar with great dog-friendly trails and have worked with all kinds of dogs (temperaments, age, and sizes)! I have a dog friendly home in Old Colorado City. I do have a safe fenced in backyard. I always do "meet and greets" before boarding or training any dog. If I stay at the dog owners' home, I stick to the dogs normal schedule/routine and make sure their home and pup is better than I found it! I'm trained in understanding dog's needs and being hyper aware of my environment to ensure safety of the dog I'm watching/walking! I hope to meet your beloved pup soon! Please reach out with any inquiries or questions! I’m very flexible for my clients needs! I do not have any pets of my own and am gone less than 6 hours a day, if I am gone at all. I always try to stick to the dogs normal routine and care! My home has no other pets and I am very experienced in walking, training, and sitting at my home and pet owners homes!
About: Animal lover of all types and sizes. Flexible schedule for the care of your dogs, cats, and exotics. Veterinary technician experience of 2+ years with formal education. Extensive experience with bottle feeding and the attentive care of very young kittens. I have a very flexible work schedule, and I update my pet care hours weekly. I am normally available ANY day after 5:30 as well. Text me for special requests! I have fenced yard and spare room which is kept separate from my own pets. I also live in very close proximity to several paved walking trails, and would love to cater to wooded, unpaved trail environments as well. In your home, or on walks, i will utilize my veterinary experience to read your pet's emotional and physical state as well as your careful instructions to provide the utmost care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 826 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Adelaide. 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 Adelaide 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 Adelaide 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 Adelaide 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 Adelaide. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
