“We always feel like our babies are in good hands when we leave them with Rhonda! And Rhonda is so good to work with. We always come back to a clean house and happy dogs. It's no wonder that she's booked up months in advance!”
“I love when Paula stays with my Boston Terrier (Frank.) I come home to a calm sweet dog who is played out and has been loved. Paula takes super wonderful pictures of Frank happy to be with her. Paula is the best!”
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and to say we were nervous would be an understatement. After meeting Caitlyn, though, we immediately felt at ease. She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We have two dachshunds with very different personalities. Newton is outgoing, but Augustus is much more cautious and takes time to warm up to new people. Caitlyn respected his space from the very beginning, and before long he was curled up next to her in bed! Seeing him trust someone outside of our family meant everything to us. Throughout our trip she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. We would absolutely trust Caitlyn with Augustus and Newton again and will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boys! ❤️🐾”
“Robyn was wonderful. She was so kind and caring and took great care of our sweet Gidget. It happened to snow when we were gone and she brought in my plants, collected my packages that arrived, and was a great communicator. We really appreciated all of the photos and videos. She sent us when we were away from our sweet little Gidget We will definitely use Robyn again without any reservation what so ever! Robyn is a smart choice when selecting a pet/house sitter.”
“Thank you so much, Kayla! You were there to help us get our precious dog from the vet to the hospital while dealing with my chemo brain. You were there to listen and concerned for our dog. Wish you only the best in life. God bless you.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11yo. I’ve cared for Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Rat Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Papillions, Irish Wolfhounds, Pit Bulls, Bichon Frisés, and more. I have four dogs now: German Shepherd Mix, German Shorthaired Pointer, and two Pembroke Corgis. I’m familiar with small and large dogs. I’m non-judgmental and understanding if your baby has separation-anxiety. I work 8AM to 4PM Monday through Thursday, but am free to watch your babies in the evening and Friday through Sunday. I provide drop-in visits and house-sitting. I have a fenced-in yard, two crates and four dogs all ready to be their new best friend! I do prefer to watch them in your home, not mine as I have one dog that isn’t the most friendly.
About: I’ve have dogs, cats and other animals since I was born but when I turned 9 my friends and neighbors started relying on my to watch and take care of their precious babies while they were on vacations or just away for the day. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule does change at times but it is mostly flexible. I do take care of my own animals in the mornings and evenings as well as during the day and I am happy to do so for yours as well! I have a big fenced yard and a friendly dog and cats to keep yours comfortable and happy. I’m also able to crate your pup if needed. I can feed twice a day as well as multiple potty breaks and a long walk.
“My partner and I are first-time dog owners, and Tavin was our first dog sitter booked through this app, so naturally we were a little nervous. However, Tavin was communicative, easygoing, and attentive to our pup’s needs right from the start. He stayed overnight with our dog, sent us pictures and updates, responded promptly, and left the house just as clean as he found it. We will definitely be booking Tavin again and highly recommend him to anyone considering his services!”
“Kori is amazing!! She sent us lots of updates of our pups and cats every day with tons of pictures. We could tell that they were well cared for and that she treated them like her own. We will definitely have her watch our pets in the future!”
About: I have taking care of many pets, young and old, and anything inbetween and definitely believe the most important thing is being engaging with pets so they feel safe and comfortable while being taken care of! I am yet to find a job just yet, so I have so much flexibility in taking care of your pet’s needs!!! My availability is very open at the moment. Caring for pets in my home I am certainly big on a Homebase solution wether it’s a crate or just having the dogs near me whenever play times up and it’s time to wind down!
“Ashley is amazing and i would definitely recommend her! She came to watch my dogs on short notice and did great! Even cuddled with them 🥰 we had a mishap about my automatic door lock sticking when she went for a run but she didnt panic, or get mad at me too :) i am thankful to have found her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Adolphus. 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 Adolphus 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 Adolphus 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 Adolphus 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.

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.
