“Penny kept our 15-week-old lab puppy and cat at our house for four days while we were out of town. Our pup is definitely in the puppy phase and is a real challenge to keep out of trouble. Penny did a great job in maintaining the consistency of his schedule and continued his training while we were away. I'm sure this was over the top from the normal sitting arrangements. She keeps a daily diary of what she and our pets did so she does an outstanding job of communicating. This was our first experience with having someone stay in our home and it worked out great. Penny is reliable, great with our animals and a great house guest. We will definitely rebook when the need arises and would highly recommend her to watch your pets.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years. I have also been a part time dog groomer for a couple of years. I have experience with dogs as small as French Bulldogs to as large as Spanish Mastiffs and Bernese Mountain Dogs. I have experience with LOTS of dogs and cats. My mother is a dog breeder, so I have experience caring for puppies from birth all through the puppy and adult stages. I am a full time college student and volunteer soccer coach, so I will not be able to always stay at a home for hours at a time. I take top precautions when pet sitting in people's homes, sending pictures, messaging owners, and calling if there are any issues or uncertain about something.
“Kristen took great care of Jack and Callie playing lots of fetch. We came back to a happy dog and cat and a house that looked like we never left. We will definitely book with Kristen again.”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Raven. She is punctual, communicative, caring, and my pups absolutely adored her (even my shy girl). I’m a travel nurse and use rover constantly and Raven is the absolute best pet sitter I’ve used. I will absolutely use her again soon :)”
“Chandler was great during our house sitting! She checked in with us often and we came home to a clean house! Our dogs loved her so much they were looking for her in the guest room the next morning after she left!”
“Shannon was great with our dogs and very communicative with us throughout the entire experience. One of our dogs is a little apprehensive with new people and he did a great job giving him time to warm up. He was also a wonderful house guest - left everything very clean, helped by watering the plants, taking out the trash, etc. We will definitely book with him again!”
About: I love hanging out with animals, playing with them and loving on them! I dog sit and cat sit regularly throughout the week for friends, family and neighbors. I have multiple references if ever needed. I’ve done multiple overnight and week stays in clients houses. I’ve also done multiple drop ins for first time meet with the pet. I can give out medications and do shots if needed. I have Lupus, so hanging out with animals is very therapeutic to me. I have open availability, I can do overnights or weekends. Whatever you need me to do I’m available anytime to help out with your fur babies! I will first come in and get the animal warmed up to me, then take them outside. We will then go play or eat. I make sure your animals will be treated with love and respect. I also will make sure to clean up any mess that has been made.
About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.
“Kelley was great. Truly great. All of our dogs were happy and well cared for. Kelley provided good updates and pictures throughout her engagement and left the house cleaner then when she arrived. Looking forward to working with her again.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs that need extra patience and care. I have looked after my own dogs along with dogs for family and friends by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, bathing them, giving medications when needed, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. As a future pre veterinary student, I genuinely love working with animals and will treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I will be a full time college student, but I will keep my availability updated and do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I am flexible whenever my schedule allows and will always communicate clearly about my availability. Unfortunately, I am unable to bring pets into my home because my family runs a dog rescue. However, I am happy to care for your pets in your home where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I will always follow your instructions and make sure your pets are safe, well cared for, and given plenty of love and attention while you are away.
“Stephanie is kind and considerate, she made sure we felt comfortable with her and was willing to go out of her way for a meet and greet! She left our home cleaner than it was when we left, and sent updates during stay! Definitely recommend!”
About: I have three years of caring for homes and pets, offering gentle assistance with light chores and ensuring pets receive their meals and medication with love and attention . Caring for animals is very rewarding for me as they bring me peace and comfort. I feel people have busy lives and their pets deserve to be cared for and nurtured in the process. Well just like people each pet would have specific needs and wants. I would observe the temperament and needs of the pet. I also administer medication and walks/socialization as needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 419 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 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.
