About: With years of hands-on experience, I care for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. What sets me apart is my calm energy, deep understanding of animal behavior, and genuine love for every pet as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs since i could even remember and have always had such a big love towards all animals but mainly dogs! I am free most full days! I do schooling online so have a very flexible schedule! I love being able to meet new dogs and my dogs get along with others great! I have a fenced in backyard and am able to take dogs on multiple walks everyday! I live in a house so plenty of room for pups to run around!
About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.
“Hailey was great and I’ll definitely use her again. Daily pictures showed Lucy was happy and comfortable with us being gone. Upon leaving Hailey left a detailed message of what Lucy’s day had been like up to that point and we came home to a clean house!”
“Caitlin is amazing! She responds super fast, and I hired her for a couple of nights to stay with my nervous kitty. She was able to bond with him which is tough to do, and sent me pictures and updates while I was away. I highly recommend Caitlin for house/pet sitting!”
About: Hi I am an experienced Dog and Cat caretaker! I have had cats and dogs for many years and I am passionate about making sure they get the proper love and care they deserve :) Available for feedings, care, walking typically 6-8 am, and 5-9 pm. Depends on week though. Definitely willing to work out the best times for you and your pet! I love to provide the service, ( walk, feeding etc) plus a little treat, affection and playtime. Having good bonds with the animal is so important to giving them the best experience!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs of my own and I started caring for neighbors pets at 12 years old. I love all animals and would be happy to help you out with yours! I currently work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have a 13 year old daughter who has grown up around pets and is wonderful with animals. Let me know what you need and we can work something out. I will follow your instructions and treat your home with complete respect and kindness. Your pets will be safe and loved when they are in my care.
About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.
“Natalia was truly the BEST Rover sitter we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and caring — and she treated our home and fur babies like they were her own. We have three dogs and a cat, and every single one of them was so loved and well cared for while we were away. One of our pups ended up having an unexpected flea issue and was super itchy while she was staying with them, and Natalia immediately stepped in and handled everything with so much care and compassion. She bathed all three dogs, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated every step of the way. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. On top of taking amazing care of the animals, she went completely above and beyond with our home. She did laundry, swept, cleaned, remade the bed, and left the house better than we left it. You can genuinely tell she is the kind of person who respects and cares for other people’s space. Natalia is kind, trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable having her in our home and caring for the members of our family we love most. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pets deeply, communicate wonderfully, and care for your home with incredible respect should book her immediately. She is an absolute gem and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

I belong to the local pet shelter and I do the dog a day program where I go and pick them up and spend the whole day with them kind of help get them adopted if needed and return them at the time stated. On that note! I am looking for work and I love animals so I thought how perfect! The small family I have here and I have 20 dogs and cats combined. Very careful loving person looking to help out when needed. I love to walk so even better! Very responsible and follow instructions as asked.

“Jackalyn was amazing!! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous but she was very attentive and kept me posted throughout the weekend with update and pictures. I am definitely using her again!”

I just graduated SCAD with a degree in film (will send you lots of photos of your pets) early and have an open and flexible schedule that I am looking to fill with my love of animals!

Camryn was a fantastic dog sitter for my dog, Daisy! She house sat for me for a week while I was traveling, and I came back to an even cleaner apartment than when I had left. Camryn kept me updated with pictures and messages on how Daisy was doing so I didn’t need to stress at all while I was gone!
Caitlin provided excellent care for our dog Charley while we were away. She has a huge heart, and we felt at ease knowing he was well taken care of. We really appreciated all of the updates we received with amazing pictures of our boy. Caitlin was extremely considerate and left the house clean and tidy. We look forward to having her back, and Charley does too 😊
Hailey is a perfect petsitter! She really went above and beyond to make me and my dog comfortable. She sent great updates with photos and videos, and treated my dog like her own. Hailey did everything I asked for and more. I returned to a happy pup and a spotless house. 😍 Hailey is the best!!!
Aleena truly treated Teddy like her own (he even spent Thanksgiving with her family and helped decorate the Christmas tree)! She was super communicative, sent great updates / pictures throughout his stay and is an absolute GEM of a person. Highly recommend!! We will definitely be asking to work with her again.
Another great experience with Evelyn! She spent a week with our boy and kept us updated with a summary of the day and pics! I even texted her late at night when our neighborhood FB page said a dog was wandering our street. She responded very quickly with a pic of my boy safe and sound in the house. She is a trusted sitter for us we feel very lucky to have found her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Astor Farms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,874 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Astor Farms. 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 Astor Farms 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 Astor Farms 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 Astor Farms 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 Astor Farms. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
