About: I grew up taking care of dogs and spending time with other animals such as birds, reptiles and rodents. When I was a 10 years old my father and I partnered together to train a service dog for a family friend. I am an expert in animal behavior and training. As I got older I have been a very reliable and trust worthy person my family and friends have depended on for pet care. I can provide affordable, quality pet care for both dogs and cats. I promise my utmost attention and excellent care to each pet I sit. I am working a part time job and actively taking college courses. I am available for house sitting Sat-Tues, however I work Wed-Fri only being available in the evenings for sitting. I understand how important safety is to every pet owner. I do not board pets but I will take every precaution to ensure your home and pet are safe and secure.
“Can't say enough about how terrific Katia was, caring for our dog, Ollie. She sent regular pictures and videos and kept us fully up-to-date about package deliveries and any other household matters. She was a delight to deal with! This was our first trip away since moving to this home 2 years ago, so we were a little tense, but Katia put our minds at ease and we will definitely make her our go-to sitter!”

“I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.”

“Anna house sitting for my three fur babies, two cats and one very shy and anxious dog. Our dog took right to her. She gave us updates to calm our worries. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I would be honored to be your pet sitter. I am a passionate animal lover with experience providing both overnight/in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I have had a blast caring for my neighbors’ dogs, friends’ pets, and other local families' furry companions. Through positive experiences and word-of-mouth referrals, I have continued to gain pet-sitting opportunities by networking and building relationships within my community. In addition to pet sitting, I have hands-on experience potty training puppies from raising two of my own. I am also especially comfortable working with anxious dogs, as I have an anxious dog myself and understand the patience, consistency, and reassurance they need to feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in making sure every dog feels happy, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I treat each pet as if they were my own. I am currently working a very flexible job, so I would have lots of time to check on your pups! I have pretty much full availability for the summer except for one trip from June 29 through July 2. When caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and feeding according to the owner's instructions. I also make sure pets receive lots of affection and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who are still learning routines and anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. Because I have raised two puppies and have an anxious dog of my own, I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and individualized care. Communication is extremely important to me. I value keeping owners updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, and I want pet parents to feel confident that their dog is receiving excellent care. I always follow the owner's preferences and instructions, and I make sure any decisions regarding their pet are discussed with them whenever possible. My goal is to work as a team with each owner to ensure every choice is in the best interest of their pup's health, happiness, and well-being.
About: Growing up, I have always had cats and dogs in the home. I have always had a passion for caring for animals and being their advocate since they can’t speak for themselves. I am comfortable with all sorts of animals, as I have worked in a small animal veterinary clinic and a wildlife rehab facility. As a recent college graduate, I have moved back home to save up by working a full time job. I am available most friday-sundays all day and outside the hours of 8-5 on weekdays. I am experienced in animal handling and can help the animal feel comfortable, even when the owner is not present. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes and behaviors and am confident in my ability to control.
About: (ADDITIONAL DOG RATE IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT IS LISTED) I truly treat every dog like my own, with patience, consistency, and love. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and even anxious pups who don’t usually warm up to others. I’m calm and confident around dogs that might seem nervous or reactive, and I take the time to earn their trust at their pace. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a student who takes mostly online classes, which means my schedule is super flexible and I’m home a lot. That gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and just being present with your pups. I love building a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. Whether that’s early morning walks, afternoon cuddles, or bedtime check-ins. Your pets will never feel rushed or overlooked! Whether I’m watching your pets in my home or yours, I always keep their comfort and routine a top priority. I live in a one story home with a huge backyard and pool, perfect for exercise, potty breaks, and a little fun between naps! I do prefer staying at your home so your dog is never stressed.
“Jacy was incredible! She took such great care of my home and my dog while I was away—I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house. She even went above and beyond by doing laundry (after thoughtfully asking if I minded first), cleaned the dishes, put away the ones I’d left in the dishwasher, and maked all the beds. She even took the time to do some training with Joy and now my dog can do new trick and follows commands better. It was such a treat to come home to everything in perfect order. Super responsible, respectful, and kind—highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy house sitter!”

About: I have always had a family pet for as long as I could remember. My family and friends have relied on me to care for their loved animals.

Our days consist of many walks, so your dog would we well exercised and cared for while you are away I have a fenced in yard for your dog to go out for a quick potty break if needed. I do have two cats that can be put in a separate room if needed.

About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog.

“Great job! Icealin paid attention to all the details, making sure the house was taken care of too, not just the pooch. I came back from holiday travel and blizzards everywhere, and all was well.”

About: I have cared for many different types of dogs since I was young. I genuinely enjoy the connection animals share with us, and I am passionate about providing them with attentive, loving care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Akin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Akin. 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 Akin 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 Akin 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 Akin 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
