“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”
“Samantha was so great, she sent us regular updates and pictures of our pups and was happy to accommodate their schedule. We have four, so we’re extra grateful for the attention and care. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm Owen! I've been around dogs my whole life, and walking them is genuinely my favorite part of the day. I also volunteer walking dogs at the Cache Humane Society, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to big and bouncy. I take the job seriously: I show up on time, follow your instructions exactly, double-check leashes and harnesses, and keep a close eye on your pup the whole walk. You'll get photos and a quick update every time, so you're never left wondering. Your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I'm a student taking mostly online classes, so I'm home for most of the day and can easily work walks, feedings and potty breaks around my schedule. I'm flexible on weekdays and generally available on weekends too. I'll keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I'm home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I follow your feeding, walking and medication instructions exactly, keep dogs on-leash outside, and send photo updates every day. I'll make sure doors and gates stay closed, and I know where the nearest emergency vet is. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll keep it clean and secure.
About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, a boxer/dane mix, 1 cat, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.
About: Our family first started with 2 puppies and have increased and decreased over the years. We love animals and dogs especially. I have self groomed my schnauzer for 10 years and have the tools to do bath care and simple grooming. We are currently at 4 kids and 2 dogs and 3 snakes. Kids ages 10-18. We live a block away from a canyon trail so extra walks and exercise is quick and easy! I am an intuitive massage therapist and have worked on several animals in and around injury, anxiety and emotional distress. I work part time nearby and in my home as a massage therapist. We are usually always around for weekends and holidays. With already two dogs we are very accustomed to regular care. I have a fence between the kitchen and living room that keeps pets in the main part of the home but also has easy access to a fenced in back yard through a doggie door. The pets become part of the family whether it’s taking them to bed or on walks or to play outdoors. We will do our best to follow the similar rules as your house such as where they sleep, allowed on furniture, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I’m the first person my family or friends call to come house sit for them so they don’t have to board their animals. I do some light house work, hangout with the animals, and give them lots of love while their parents are away I’m currently a single stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do weekends or weekdays- let’s try and make it work with your schedule I’ll play with the animals outside as much as possible. Take them on a walks if they do not of great recall and in my free time in between taking care of the animals I do some light house work
“Molly was very communicative and great with all the pets!! We were so grateful to find someone who could watch them during Christmas as well. We trusted Molly totally and could tell the pets were so happy and were well cared for!”
“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid, I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or lots of love and attention, I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive the best care possible. I am currently at college! I am happy to fit you in after or in-between my class schedule! I am happy to stay at your house and work on homework while I hangout with your pets! I will hangout at clients houses or stay over to keep your pet company! Any walks, feeding, medicine, and extra care! I am there for!
“Maddison was amazing! She was super flexible on a last minute trip and made the accommodations needed. I even had run out of some food & she was kind enough to go pick some up for me. She was great with my farm - dogs, cats, livestock & I highly recommend her! She is super thorough & asks for further information in case of emergencies. She also is a vet tech which made me feel a lot more comfortable leaving my animals in her hands. Will be rebooking!”
“Jackie is absolutely amazing. I had a unique situation come up while I was gone and she quickly adapted and took such great care of my doggo. I would highly recommend her. She really treated my pup like one of her own and goes above and beyond.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 163 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amalga. 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 Amalga 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 Amalga 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 Amalga 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.
