“Angela is a great dogsitter. Our dogs love her and she always makes sure they are very well taken care of. We have had her take care of our dogs a couple of times and we were very happy. On our return, the house and flowers were also in great shape. We definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”

About: I've grown up around different types of dogs and spent two years house sitting and dog sitting for my neighbors. I ensure your pets are in safe hands. I send daily updates and photos. I can ensure your dog gets exercise and positive reinforcement during walks. I offer flexible schedules to accommodate your needs, including last minute bookings. I specialize in building strong bonds and prioritize safety for peace of mind. I plan engaging activities that keep your pet active and happy during my visits. I am currently working part - time and attending college full time for two days throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and play time they need. I do not take boarding as I do have my own dog who is not familiar with other dogs, however, I can stay in home if needed. As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide care directly in your home to ensure your pets remain in a familiar environment. I maintain your pets usual schedule for feeding, walks and playtime to minimize stress. I do focus on individual needs, whether that means extra cuddles, playtime with favorite toys, or following specific dietary requirements. I engage your pet in fun activities like walks, games, and training exercises to keep them happy and stimulated. I provide regular updates and photos.

“Ty did an amazing job! We have quite a house full of dogs and cats and she was able to manage all of them beautifully. All my dogs couldn’t get enough love and attention from her while she was at our home. Ty has a natural gift when it comes to caring for animals and I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone needing a house sitter for your fur babies!”

About: I have had beloved pets of all kinds. Wonderful family dogs, cats, pigs, emus, goats, cows, horses, rabbits and a duck.

About: With 7+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m confident handling everything from large, high-energy breeds to senior pets who need extra patience. I offer overnight care, stick closely to routines, and am comfortable administering medications. I believe pets thrive with consistency, attention, and a calm, confident presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. I have a flexible schedule and am available for weekday and weekend drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I prefer drop-ins and house sitting, but I can offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. I prioritize consistency and plan my day to ensure each pet receives proper attention, exercise, and routine care. I prioritize a safe and structured environment for every pet in my care. Because I have resident animals, I only offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. Introductions are done carefully and supervised at all times. Outdoor time is always monitored, and I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and home routines closely. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are extremely important to me.

About: I’ve always grown up taking care of dogs and have loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet the same way I would my own. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away I’m flexible and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they can stay comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or bedtime routines, I’m happy to follow your instructions. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and house rules. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Adel was very kind and attentive with our pets. While pet sitting, he also handled visits from the irrigation team who came to our house. Additionally, he took care of one of my dogs during her first heat. He changed her diaper and remained extremely attentive to her needs. I recommend Adel wholeheartedly—100%!”

“We had Dana come stay at our house and babysit our cat, Bella, for 5 days while we took a work-cation. I really like Dana, and we will definitely request her again. Here are a few reason why: 1) Our AC broke a few days before we were to leave but that did not bother Dana, she took it all in stride (thankfully, we did end up getting it fixed before we left). 2) Bella is not an easy cat to feed. She's a picky eater and can be somewhat of a pain when it comes to finishing her food. Dana was willing to work with Bella's "bad eating habits," which can honestly be a pain in the butt! 3) Bella knows how to do tricks so Dana took pictures of her tricks and sent them to me. This made me feel good, and let me know Bella likes Dana (Bella is skeptical of strangers). 4) We have bird feeders, bird baths, and even a bee bath that she kept full. 5) She watered our outdoor potted flowers/plants and they looked great when we came home. 6) Dana got our mail. 7) Dana left the house neat and tidy.”

About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.

My home is not fenced, but I can provide walks throughout your pet's stay. I also have two cats of my own if they are cat-friendly, otherwise they can be kept separated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 419 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Akins Corner. 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 Akins Corner 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 Akins Corner 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 Akins Corner 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 Akins Corner. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
