“Becca was great, our dogs didn't even act like they missed us when we got home after being gone for a week. Becca stayed at our home for 7 days and took care of two dogs, one developed incontinence from medication to treat seizures and Becca didn't mind at all. Thankfully the meds they gave her for incontinence worked so she didn't have to put a diaper on her any longer. Becca still put the water up every night and gave Baylee her meds 3 times a day. The dogs got attached to her very quickly. Baylee slept on the bed with Becca, just like she would with us if we were home. She took them for daily walks around our 8 acre property. I would highly recommend Becca, we don't just let anyone stay at our home and or watch our fur kids. Becca is the first non-family member we've had watch our dogs or stay at our home. Again, we highly recommend her, she was great and sent us regular updates and photos while we were gone.”

About: I have dogsat for around 3 years now both small dogs like mine and big australian shepards. I care for children as well. 💗 💗 I attend class 10-2 pm. So that gives me plenty of time for morning restroom breaks & check-ins, and im free afterwards (unless im babysitting) I would make sure to not disturb their peace but also make them feel love and give them all the necessary attention they may need.

“Louann is absolutely wonderful!!! She’s great at communicating, always sends pictures and updates… She is also incredibly patient with Mango who can take a little time to warm up... It’s a huge relief knowing Mango is in such caring and capable hands, I never have to worry when Louann is taking care of her!!! We’re so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her babysit Mango again!!”

About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for all pets including my own. Friends and family trust me for reliable, attentive, and responsible pet care. I’m flexible with pets throughout the week! My dog lives with me, so we follow a consistent routine with morning walks, evening walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I live in a dog friendly apartment with a courtyard for play. I can use a crate if requested and closely follow each pet’s routine.

About: What sets me apart? Simple — I believe pets deserve more than just someone to watch them. They deserve genuine love, patience, attention, and a little extra spoiling! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your furry friend is full of playful energy, a little shy, or simply enjoys a peaceful environment, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, dependable, and big on communication! You can expect updates, adorable pictures, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and tails that wag every time I return! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m available seven days a week after 2 PM, allowing me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to providing your furry family members with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s afternoon walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. I understand how important consistency and trust are when choosing someone to care for your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar surroundings. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my approach to match their comfort level, energy, and individual needs. When visiting a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to following all care instructions closely. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and making sure pets receive the attention they deserve. Communication is just as important to me as quality care! I provide updates and pictures so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are happy and in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel like family and every owner feel confident in choosing me! 🐶❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Ambrose

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 167 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ambrose. 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 Ambrose 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 Ambrose 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 Ambrose 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.
