“Olivia was amazing with taking care of Bug. She was responsive, punctual, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. I felt comfortable knowing Bug was in good hands. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Adia did an amazing jog taking care of our dog and house. She is highly reliable and surpassed our expectations. She always showed up on time and went the extra mile. I had no worries while I was away. I would book again.”
About: Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and homes while they're away, by keeping up with their pets' routines and caring for them like they're my own. I bring a calming energy that animals easily take to. I currently care for both dogs and cats. I'm currently in between jobs and doing sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of free time around appointments to provide care, check-ins, and sittings for your pets! While caring for pets at a clients home, I ensure that the pets stay on their routine and get lots of love. I provide reliable care for not only pets but also the homes.
“Claire was amazing! She sent pics throughout the day and kept in touch each day. I know my sweet girl was happy to be in her own home while we were away. I will definitely use Claire to sit again!”
“Cheryl was great to work with this weekend! She kept in contact and sent pics. My house was just like I left it, and my 3 fur babies were well cared for when I returned. I’ve already booked her for next month.”
“Missy was excellent! Sbort notice for her to come to our hotel in the French quarter and sit with our foster puppy so we could still enjoy a preplanned date night. Much appreciated and she did a great job”
About: I have pet sat cats and dogs (as well as various reptiles and birds) of all different ages. I have 4 cats and a snake of my own with one cat that takes daily medication. I have fostered cats and assisted in senior pet care (dogs and cats). I also trained 2 of my cats and when we had dogs, I also trained them. I am very experienced with administering medication and caring for pets of different ages! I am happy to take care of your other pets (reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and rodents) in addition to your cats and/or dogs:) Three of my cats are fed twice a day, and my elderly cat gets 4 small meals. I work from home so am able to give my cats plenty of attention. I am fairly flexible with my routine and can easily check in on your pet(s) and walk them 2-3 times a day except on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Those days I have to be physically at my job so I can only check on your pet(s) in the mornings before 11am and afternoons after 4pm. My cats are treated as equal family members and have a wide range of enrichment within our house: cat trees, toys, a screened in porch, and forage puzzles. Our elderly cat is on daily medication and is showered with compliments (she is a queen and she knows it!) . I spend time every day playing with all of my cats and snuggling them as much as they like. I am incredibly gentle with animals and respect their space. I try my best to maintain a clean, stress-free environment at home and in the homes I pet sit for. I know how stressful it can be for a pet to meet someone new, so I always move at their speed and respect their comfort. Your pet's safety and trust are a top priority, and I will treat them with the care I give my own cats.
“Danielle was amazing with my babies. I got update texts everyday and tons of pictures. Such a blessing to have had her sit for them at our home in their own environment where they are most comfortable. Would recommend her 1000%. Thank you so much again!!!!”
“Stephanie was an absolute perfect fit to house sit my dog. She got to know my dog and his personality and I could tell he was immediately comfortable with her but also way more comfortable when I got home, which meant everything. Definitely will be my go to sitter when she is available, Jameson loved her and I was also completely at ease while gone with updates and photos.”
“Megan was great to work with! She took great care of our boys while we were out of town, was communicative with updates and pics. She even washed the bedding from the guest room before she left. Thanks so much!”
“Karen is THE BEST! She took care of our sweet Bella and our home over the freezing weekend in NOLA. She went above and beyond by making sure our pipes didn’t freeze and our puppy was loved! We didn’t worry at all when we were away since she took care of everything! Can’t say enough about how wonderful she is !!”
“Outstanding!! Terri is very caring and accommodating. Gave love, care and comfort to our pup, just like we were there. Don’t hesitate to book her yourself, you will not regret it. Never doubt that she will treat your pet with the highest level of care, just like she did for us. Looking forward to using her in the future.”
“What amazed me about Ryan was how organized, knowledgeable and self-sufficient he was. He even took notes at the meet and greet! We quickly concluded that we and our pups were in very good hands!(”
“Jennifer was the absolute best! She was very thorough when we first met. Jennifer gave me updates daily with pictures. She took such great care of our Ruby, 100% will ask her to stay and see watch Ruby again. If you want someone who is very reliable, thorough, caring and devoted to your pet, book with Jennifer!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs/cats since 2014. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, hydrate and give their pets loving and cuddles! I currently work remote. Allowing me ample time to care for your fur babies! At this time I am offering in home daily/overnight stays with your pets. I will feed/give them fresh water, let them outside to play/potty and give them all the snuggles as if you were home! I love to schedule meet and greets prior to sitting your pets. My clients typically give me a run down of how their home is set up and what their fur babies are used to! I can accommodate!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and fish, and I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 15. I’m also Cat & Dog CPR certified and a proud cat mama to two sweet cats of my own, Iris & Manu Chao. I’ve worked with several local animal rescue organizations, including the Louisiana SPCA, ARNO, and Trampled Rose Rescue. I also worked at a veterinary clinic for two years and volunteered at a zoo hospital for one year, where I gained hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, giving baths, and attending to the individual needs of different pets. I was originally studying to become a veterinary technician before changing paths to pursue a career as a pharmacy technician, so I’m also very familiar with common medications and understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and consistently. I’m naturally very attentive to detail and take pride in making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I love going for walks and getting exercise, and having a four-legged companion along for the adventure makes it even better! Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, a good walk, or simply some loving company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets. I work Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12 PM–6 PM. On those days, I’m available in the mornings from 8 AM–11 AM for walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m available again from 7 PM until later in the evening. I am fully available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and extended pet care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs to make sure they receive consistent care and plenty of attention while you’re away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment by following each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide attentive, loving care while respecting their home and making sure their pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provide photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing while they are in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Almedia
Adia took extra special care of our pups as an in-home sitter for a week long vacation and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Communication was prompt and friendly, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Almedia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 752 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Almedia. 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 Almedia 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 Almedia 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 Almedia 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.
