“Suzanne went above and beyond in every aspect of her stay with Lou and Lobo, walking them often, communicating clearly and sending updates. I was confident they were her primary focus and work during her stay. We would be grateful to book with her again. I rarely leave my dogs when I travel and appreciate the excellent, conscientious in home care Sarah provided Lou and Lobo.”
About: I lost my own dogs a few years ago, so now I get my dog fix from other people‘s dogs. I take care of dogs like they are my own “children” which is how I referred to my own dogs. Many people have said I am a dog whisperer because I can get dogs to do things owners are not able to do. As I work full time, I make sure dogs get their daily exercise and lovings. While you are away, your dog(s) will be well taken care of with no worries. During the school year, I work full time from 7:30-4 Monday through Friday. I make sure animals have what they need before I leave for work and meet their needs when I return home. I am not able to come home in the middle of the day. During the summer break, I am available all day as I am not working full time. After learning the routine your animal(s) follow daily, l follow it to make sure they stay safe and healthy. I treat your pet(s) and home like it is my own.
About: I have paid pet- and house-sitting experience, including a 10-day overnight dog-sitting stay in summer 2023 for a former supervisor. I cared for her poodle, golden doodle, and senior pug, and I returned for several shorter stays during the school year. During those stays, I cared for the senior pug while he was declining in health. I followed the owners’ instructions carefully, asked questions when I was unsure, and communicated any concerns in a calm, factual way. I also sent occasional photo updates to reassure them that their dogs were safe and well cared for. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleaning up accidents thoroughly, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also cared for my own cat, Babu, for many years, including during the last five months of her life when she needed regular medication in both liquid and pill form. That experience taught me a lot about patience, gentle handling, and caring for pets who may be sweet, scared, stubborn, or medically fragile. I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, senior pets, multi-pet homes, basic medication routines, litter boxes, and detailed care instructions. I also grew up caring for small and exotic pets, including lizards, hamsters, rats, and helping care for my grandmother’s iguana. I’m happy to care for many small animals or reptiles with clear instructions, though spiders are my one hard boundary. I currently have flexible availability for house sitting, drop-ins, and pet care. For overnight house-sitting stays, I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet companionship. Before each booking, I like to confirm the pet’s schedule, how long they can comfortably be left alone, and any special instructions so I can make sure the care plan is a good fit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully and treat both the pets and the home with respect. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, feeding instructions, medications, litter boxes, potty breaks, and any household routines. I’m comfortable asking questions if anything is unclear and communicating calmly if I notice a concern. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. I clean up accidents thoroughly, keep pet areas tidy, and do my best to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I have grown up living in the country with cats, dogs, chickens, and sheep. Currently, I have a 15 year old dog (puggle) and a cat. I have experience providing medication and senior care. I minored in Carroll College's canine track learning how to provide basic training for dogs. I work full-time from 8am to 330pm. I have the ability to come home on lunch if a pet needs to be let out or taken on a walk. I am home every afternoon and enjoy taking walks. I prefer to have communication to know what your pets individualized care. As I get to know someone I will strive to provide the care that is expected, provide top quality, and treat your pet as my own. My pets are like my family and I would aim to treat your pet the same. I enjoy going on walks, providing lots of pets, and taking time to connect with your pet.
About: ’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide overnight care for their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need structure and play, as well as senior dogs who need patience and gentle attention. I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their well-being. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I’m happy to accommodate specific care instructions to keep your pet on their normal routine. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have a small, very friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets and helps create a welcoming environment. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone’s safety. I maintain a clean, pet friendly home and can provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!
“Krista is adored by our dog & takes great care of her while we are away. We always know when we come home we are coming home to a happy pup & clean home. She really is the best!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Riley! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience watching both dogs and cats. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and personalities, whether your furry friend is playful and energetic or shy and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I take pride in creating a calm, happy environment while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send photo updates! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to help. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I build my schedule around the needs of the animals I’m caring for, whether that’s feeding times, play sessions, administering medication, or just spending quality time keeping them company. I make sure to set aside dedicated time each day to check in, give attention, and maintain consistency, especially since pets thrive on routine. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or longer stays, I treat pet care with the same responsibility and care I’d give to my own animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow any specific instructions closely, whether it’s feeding times, preferred toys, or medication schedules, and I take time to get to know each pet’s personality. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection (on their terms, of course!). I also keep their space tidy, clean litter boxes, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Amazon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 88 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amazon. 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 Amazon 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 Amazon 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 Amazon 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.
