I'm not only here for you pet but for your peace of mind that your pet and home are safe in my hands. I've had birds, a pig, a mini horse, rats, cats and dogs.

About: Hi my name is Mike, I have over 30 years of experience with animals. I own five dogs currently. I have had cats, birds, fish, bunnies, snakes, ferrets and iguanas. Heading out? I’ll keep tails wagging, wings flapping, and whiskers twitching! From pups and kittens to bunnies, birds, and reptiles—your beloved pets get all the care, cuddles, and playtime they deserve while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐰🦎🦜 What sets me apart? I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. 🐾 Whether your pup needs help with potty training or your senior cat needs extra TLC, I’ve got the patience, experience, and big heart to meet them where they are. I’m confident with all kinds of animals—wiggly puppies, shy bunnies, talkative parrots, and even your bearded dragon with attitude. 💬🦎 From giving meds to managing routines, I treat each pet like they’re my own (spoiled and adored!). My goal? To make your pet feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away—so you can relax knowing they’re in good paws. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐢 I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available everyday. Late nights or early mornings are ok with me. I’m here to help. I care for your pets in their comfort zone—your home! 🏡🐾 I stick to their usual routines so everything feels familiar: same feeding schedule, favorite toys, walks on their route, and belly rubs in their go-to spot on the couch. I keep things clean, cozy, and calm—whether that means scooping litter boxes, watering plants, or giving meds with a treat and a smile. 💊🍖 Plus, I send updates (with adorable pics!) so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Your pets stay happy, relaxed, and loved until you’re home again. ❤️🐶🐱🐰🦎
“Lauren is awesome! I had no worries about the care of Benny and Sox. She's a very capable and calming factor to my 2 high energy kids. She is my go to sitter going forward.”
“Faith Lynn stayed a second night with a pup. She is charming and reliable! Really helped us out during our visit to Paso Robles. Thanks to her, we were able to visit several evening activities that were not dog friendly. Highly trustworthy and would very much recommend her. Our dog, Penny loved her!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and started informally pet sitting as a teenager — caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I specialize in overnight and vacation care, and I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs. When I'm caring for your pets, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, and downtime on their schedule, not mine. I send updates and photos throughout the stay so you always know how things are going. My goal is for your pets to feel calm, cared for, and completely at home while you're away. Pet care is my full-time focus, not a side gig fit around another job. Since I run my own pet care business, I have the flexibility to offer consistent daily visits, extended overnight stays, and last-minute care when life happens. I provide care exclusively in your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar environment with their regular routine, food, and surroundings — no unfamiliar pets, no added stress of a new space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, and exercise, and keep to their normal schedule as much as possible. I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, including respecting any house rules around access, cameras, and specific areas of the home. You'll get updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you always know how things are going.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
“We’re big fans of Lori and her pup Teddy! We like to keep our pups home in their comfort zone when we’re not able to travel with them and they did great with her overnight. We will be using Lori again in the future and would recommend her in a heartbeat to folks in the area who need their animals well cared for while they’re away.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ve cared for pets of different sizes and personalities, including dog-sitting a Golden Retriever in my home and providing a safe, loving environment for two cats during a three-month stay while their owner was out of town. I’ve also looked after a family friend’s Pekingese on and off for six years, giving me experience with long-term, consistent pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a comfortable environment. Whether your pet needs companionship while you’re away or a reliable caregiver they can feel at home with, I’d love the opportunity to help give you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work. My work hours are: * Monday: 8:30 AM–2:00 PM * Tuesday: 9:15 AM–4:00 PM * Wednesday: 8:20 AM–3:30 PM * Thursday: 9:15 AM–2:30 PM * Friday: 8:30 AM–3:30 PM I’m available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and have additional availability on weekends. I make pet care a priority by sticking to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of playtime and attention, and any other care requested by the owner. I always treat each home with respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Leah was wonderful! She sent pictures of our pups daily and was a great communicator! The pups loved having her around. We will definitely be booking Leah again! Thanks again!”
About: I have always loved animals. I very much care about their comfort and wellbeing. I’m also always ready for a good puppy or kitty cuddle! I do work a full time job with shifts being typically 8 hours long, Monday-Friday. If absolutely necessary, I could take an extended lunch break to let dogs out. I can stay with your pets through the night, if needed. I’d also be happy to feed, play with, and walk them. So long as my work schedule aligns with your needs!
About: I have worked in veterinary hospitals ever since I was 16 years old. I am CPR certified in humans and animals. I have a home full of an Australian Shepherd, two cats and a very quirky turtle. I consider myself to be a bonus mom to all my pet sitting clientele. I do work from home and with my flexible hours, I would love to incorporate more animals into my life. I am very thankful to have a remote job that can follow me anywhere. I work flexible hours that give me plenty of time to give your babies all the love and attention they need while you’re away. I offer in house pet sitting, medication administration, even trained to offer any injectable medication required. I’m huge on sending my clients photos and updates on their pets throughout my stay and keeping them just as connected. I value a one on one to make your animal love me like second mom.

Rebecca is amazing!!! She came over before for a meet and greet and was super friendly and down to earth. It's very clear that she is an animal lover and showed a lot of care and kindness towards all of our fur babies. We highly recommend her and will for sure be reaching out for future care.
We recently used Rover for the first time with Jillian as our dog sitter. It was such a nice experience for us and our pups loved her. Jillian is very caring, kind and punctual. She kept us informed every day so we could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Jillian to anyone needing a dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Advance is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $58 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Advance 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 Advance 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 Advance 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Advance. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
