“Nicole was great! She was knowledgeable, adaptable, and kind with Jax! She did a great job watching him over the weekend and sent updates and pictures often. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of all ranges of pets, including cats, dogs, fish and even horses. I have done in home care, house sitting, and drop in visits. I’m currently working part-time, so I have the flexibility and availability needed to care for your pets! I truly love animals and getting to spend time with them brings me so much joy! I am able to provide care at clients homes, including feeding pets and providing them with companionship. I can also maintain homes during house sitting visits, bringing in mail, putting out garbage cans and watering plants if need be.
“Alyson was fantastic. We have three dogs, two of which are older and she took amazing care of them. She administered medicine, gave us constant status updates and took care of our pets and home as it if was hers. She will definitely be our sitter moving forward and can't say enough good things about her.”
“Claire was awesome about watching my animals again! We had to add another dog to the lineup last minute but Claire was so flexible & it was such a relief knowing my babies were in good hands. Definitely will be booking with Claire again!”
About: I’ve always been told I have a way with dogs. I absolutely adore each and every dog I come into contact with. I’m patient, I’m loving, and I will work my absolute hardest to ensure the best possible experience not only for your animal but for you as well. I take pride in being reliable, and going above and beyond no matter what 💝 I have a very open schedule right now, and will work with anyone to make things run as smoothly as possible in regards to their pet needs/wants. My pets are the most important aspect of my house. I will make sure they have adequate potty breaks and I will make sure they have the best time ever when they are in my care. My house is safe, clean, and very pet friendly. They are treated like family around here ☺️
“Anne is awesome, we’ve only had our pooch for about 6 weeks and she’s a rescue so we were a little nervous to leave her so soon. However. Anne, came into our home and gently eased her way into our Maggie’s life, and very shortly Maggie was going on walks and loving being snuggled by Anne. She kept us updated frequently thru text and sent many photos Our home was just as we left it. And Maggie looked good and was happy I would highly recommend and will use her in the future”
“Nikki is wonderful! She watched both of my dogs, one being very young, big and full of energy, the other old, and Hugh anxiety. Her dog is very friendly and my boy made fast friends with him! Highly recommend nikki!”
About: I had my own cat named Jesse for 16 years. He was the love of my life. My best friend, child and ruled the home. I work as a caregiver part time so I make my own schedule. I am home most of the time available to give loving attention. I live in a very pet friendly community with a large courtyard. Many dogs and cats live here. California Park Lake is across the street.
About: If I am watching your pet for more than a day, I will absolutely crochet them a fun hat or accessory! I’ve always been comfortable around animals and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m patient, attentive, and good at picking up on an animal’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m reliable with schedules and details, so feeding times, medications, walks, check-ins, and special instructions are taken seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets who are energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or just very particular about how they like things done. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and low-stress as possible and make sure they feel safe, cared for. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience with both oral and injectable medications. I’m attentive to dosing instructions, timing, and making the process as calm and low-stress as possible. I’m also genuinely excited about dog walking. I’m working on being more active myself, so your dog gets a reliable walking buddy and I get an enthusiastic accountability partner. I’m happy to adjust the pace and length to your dog’s age, energy level, and usual routine—whether that means a relaxed sniff-heavy stroll or a longer, more active walk. I work a consistent full-time schedule, with quite a bit of flexibility throughout the day. It makes it easy for me to plan pet care reliably throughout and around my work hours. My work hours are 6:00am-2:30 pm Tuesday - Saturday. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other care, and I’m happy to coordinate a routine that works well for both you and your pet. I value consistency and punctuality, especially when pets are used to a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule I live in a pet-friendly apartment near lots of walking trails. I currently don’t have any pets in the home(unless you count a shrimp 🦐) I take pet care instructions seriously and always try to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and low stress as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, behavior, doors and gates, leash safety, and anything else you want handled a particular way. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I won’t force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know how things are going.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life loving my pets. I grew up on a mini farm so I love all animals as big as a horse and as small as a bunny. My current baby is a disabled cat who i love with my whole heart. My heart is big enough for my pets and yours!! I am a nursing student so my schedule revolves around school. Luckily that gives me plenty of free time to care for your pets! I am available most evenings and all weekends. I can provide whatever service you would like for your dog. Any time you want me to take them out, leashed, crated, play times, etc
“The nicest sweetest person ever! Our dogs loved her immediately. She’s the best! I look forward to having Mariah be with our doggies again! Thank you sweet Mariah! ?❤️?❤️???❤️”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, and have loved it since! I love every furry friend and hope to meet yours! I’m a college student on summer break with a flexible schedule throughout the week! Message me what works best for you and your pet, I’ll get back as quick as possible! I can easily crate your dogs if needed, be checking on their health and comfort, and be fully invested in playtime! It’s very important to me when it comes to gaining your pets trust and I will follow any performance tasks needed in order to do so patiently!
“Tylyn is awesome! She took great care of my dog and cat while I was away. She sent me regular photos, took my dog on walks and adventures, and kept me up to date about how things were going. And she took amazing care of my house to boot! I hope I can use her again when I travel.”
About: I’ve owned a dog nearly my whole life, 3 dogs in total. One poodle when I was younger, a shorkie, and a pitbull husky mix I found on the side of the road. I also have around 3-4 years experience in volunteering at animal shelters, doing doggy day outs, summer dog walking and fostering. I care for my dog each day, he’s become apart of me. Everyday I wake up, take him outside so he can run round and relieve himself. Then I fill his food and water bowl, at least 3 times a day to make sure he gets the right nutrition. I take him on walks and play with him alot, he’s love fighting my hand it’s so cute. I treat every pet like my family, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’ll stick as close as I can to their normal routine such as meal, walks, playtime and any special care so their environment feels consistent and safe. In my home your pet will get a calm space with lots of attention and affection. In your home I will respect your space while keeping your pets routine exactly how they’re used it. I will also send videos a pictures throughout the day so you can feel at ease.
“Shanti is absolutely wonderful! If I could leave her 10 stars, I would. She is very pleasant, responsible, and she took fantastic care of our two high maintenance cats and the house. I am so happy I found her!”
“Melissa was great! She watched our new puppy Bacall and our other dog Bogey. She was always communicating and sending pics and videos of our doggies. We loved her so much that she is going to be checking on our doggies while we are at work.”
“Jason was amazing with our pups, Skye and Scout. He sent us so many videos and pictures while we were gone - this is one of the few times I did not feel anxious about leaving our fur babies! Skye and Scout definitely got spoiled by the amount of walks they got with Jason (I actually think they missed him when we arrived back home haha!). He communicated with us efficiently and also kept our house looking great when we got back - he even washed the beddings and vacuumed for us! We will most definitely be using Jason in the future because we know our pups are in good hands. If you’re looking for a reliable dog sitter, hire Jason!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 244 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anita. 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 Anita 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 Anita 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Anita 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
