We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!

Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.

Excellent! Morgan was wonderful. She treated our doggy just like he was her own. She stayed in our home and it was cleaner than when we left. Morgan sent updates and photos of Mav every single day. She even left us a beautiful thank you note.

About: We currently have 2 Dogs, 1 cat, and 2 kids. I have had animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 3 poms and multiple cats. I have handled ALL different types of dogs through family and friends. Would also be willing to take care of other pets if needed. We currently foster cats and walk dogs when able through spca. I have delt with young pups to seniors with mediation. I love all animals and take care of them like my own. I can be flexable. I am a stay at home dad with my daughter and son who is currently in cyber school. Going on walks around the area or to the park to play are some easy ideas. Love walking or jogging a pet if they are up for it. I can drop in, take them for a walk, play with them at the park, play in home or back yard or whatever you/they need.

About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.

This was my first time using Rover.com, and John was so good with my three Aussies while I was away from home for a work trip! My pups are spoiled rotten, not always well-behaved, 60lb bundles of energy (and joy), and John handled the task perfectly. Lots of pictures while I was away and daily notes about the pups on the counter when I got home. The pups and I will definitely request John again again if we need a sitter! I couldn't be happier.

Rita, you are simply amazing! We cannot thank you enough for taking such care of our Knoxie boy for 2 days. Knox is a very anxious and nervous pit bull rescue. He took to Rita immediately. Knox was also having belly issues most likely from stress, and she took such good care of him. She updated me the whole time with pics etc. and spent lots of time with him. I was so stressed leaving him, but she put me at ease. We are blessed to have found Rita!

About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I am currently pursuing my education to become a Small and Large Animal Veterinarian and specialize in Animal Psychology and Internal Medicine/Oncology. Through my experience, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in pet training, dog walking, proper nutrition and feeding, and medication administration. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job on Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Saturday from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for my pet care clients. I keep my Rover calendar up to date to accurately reflect my availability, though occasional changes may arise. If you don't see the dates or times you need, I encourage you to reach out anyway—I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide exceptional care for your furry family member! I do not offer in-home boarding, but I am happy to provide care in your home. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When possible, I am available for extended stays, which can provide added consistency for your pet’s care and fit well with my schedule. I also recommend that clients leave detailed care instructions, as every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences.

Candace was fantastic with our two crazy dogs! They took to her right away at the meet and greet, which put our minds at ease. She watched them for 12 hours while we were at a family event, and they were happy, safe, and well cared for the whole time. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle high-energy pups. We'll definitely be booking Candace again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.

Ashton was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to him almost immediately and he was very thoughtful in their care. He was very responsive and prudent with being on time and keeping them on a schedule. Also left the house exactly how he found it which was a huge relief being able to come home to a clean house! Would absolutely recommend!

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and have been caring for them for most of my life. Our family raised Rottweilers, and throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other animals. I currently have two cats and goats of my own. I have experience caring for cats with special dietary needs, medications, anxiety and individual routines. I understand how important consistency can be, especially for animals who are sensitive, anxious, older or have additional care needs. One of my strengths is being very attuned to animals’ body language, behavior and subtle cues. I tend to notice when an animal is comfortable, uncertain, overstimulated or asking for space, and I adjust my approach rather than forcing interaction. Building trust and allowing each animal to connect in their own way is very important to me. I’m also a licensed massage therapist and wellness business owner, so being attentive, gentle and responsive is a big part of what I do professionally. I run a business with a team of approximately 20 people, which means I’m accustomed to responsibility, detailed instructions, established procedures and clear communication. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want them to feel safe, understood and well cared for while their people are away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s established feeding, medication, walking, play and household routines so their experience is as comfortable and familiar as possible. I especially like the phrase “attuned to animals’ body language, behavior and subtle cues.” It captures what you're talking about without sounding woo-woo or making a claim that might turn off a more conventional pet owner. I work primarily remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to schedule walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medications, playtime, and companionship around my workday and your pet’s established routine. Occasionally, I teach continuing education classes for licensed massage therapists, but I know my schedule in advance and only accept bookings when I can provide the time, attention, and consistency your pet needs. I’m organized, dependable, and comfortable planning my day around specific care instructions and schedules. I understand how important consistency and routine can be for animals, especially those with special dietary, medication, behavioral, or anxiety-related needs. I tailor my care to each individual animal because every pet has different needs based on their age, personality, health, activity level, and established routine. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding, medications, special diets, walks, litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, and other specific care needs. I live in a farmhouse and have cared for animals throughout my life. We currently have indoor and outdoor cats and goats, and over the years I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals. That experience has made me very aware of both animal safety and their environment. I pay close attention to doors and potential escape routes, food and household items pets could get into, and anything that could pose a safety concern. As a homeowner and business owner, I also understand the trust involved when someone allows me into their home. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and happy to communicate and provide updates while you’re away. I’m also a plant lover and understand that many common houseplants can be unsafe for cats and other animals. I’m mindful about keeping pets away from plants, foods, medications, household products, and other things they shouldn’t eat or investigate. Most importantly, I pay attention to each animal’s body language and personality. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a curious troublemaker, shy or anxious, or an older animal who needs a slower pace and extra attention, I adjust my care so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ambau

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,091 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ambau. 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 Ambau 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 Ambau 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 Ambau 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 Ambau. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
