“Ericka was so kind and checked in every day to send us pics of the pets, also was kind enough to offer tips as she is an experienced vet tech! Really appreciated her ability to give our old cat multiple medications and deal with our very jumpy dog”
“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Monica stayed at our home with our fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats) for a few days over the 4th of July this year and she was amazing. She send us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout her stay, and made sure we knew they were all doing well. We were so nervous about leaving our babies over the holiday with all the fireworks, but she handled their medication and let them snuggle with her and ensured they were safe. So grateful for her and will definitely use her again!”
“Melissa always takes great care of my pets, and is super reliable. I use her frequently over the past year, all my pets are so happy to spend time with her when I am away”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog and cat received! From the start, Yeilin was reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we came home, and our cat, who can be quite difficult was calm and content. Yeilin provided great communication throughout the entire experience, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our pets were treated like family. We highly recommend Yeilin's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”
“Jennifer was great! She is very easy going, reliable and you could tell she has experience with animals. She is very nice and friendly! Our furbabies seemed to like her and trust her, which is very important to us. We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Jessica is the BEST! It was the first time having somebody take care of our dog, and my wife and I were really nervous at first, but after meeting Jessica, we knew our dog was in great hands. She texted us with updates, pictures, and communicated with us the entire time. We will definitely have Jessica watch our dog in the future. Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I'm currently working from home part time and working in a restaurant part time, so I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention and take them out as often as needed when at home. I sometimes will need to be gone for around 6-7 hours a few days out of the week for my other job so I ask that your pup is okay on their own occasionally. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like a member of the family, with lots of love, care, and playtime. I live in a one-bedroom apartment that’s cozy and safe for dogs. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m more than happy to set up their crate in the living room to ensure they feel comfortable and secure during their stay. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give to my own pets. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pup feels right at home. I am working from home during the day so I have plenty of time to take your pup out whenever needed! Let me know their schedule. We will go out on walks, we can go to the park if you’re okay with it, I will feed them according to their normal schedule, and of course plenty of cuddles.
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies who are still learning routines to sweet senior dogs who need patience and gentle care, I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very attentive, calm, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every dog I care for. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which means I can provide consistent, reliable care any day of the week. I enjoy structuring my days around pets—making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to adapt to each dog’s routine and give them plenty of time, love, and supervision. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide calm, loving, and reliable care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ansel. 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 Ansel 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 Ansel 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 Ansel 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.

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.
