“Kirsten is a godsend! She handled my 2 needy dogs and 4 cats without any problem! I felt totally relaxed knowing my babies were well taken care of ! I highly recommend her 😊”
“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Yerim was wonderful! She took great care of our critters & house, and had no problem providing special care for our pup when a last minute health issue arose. We would be happy to hire her again!”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life. I love all animals and I am so happy to play and love your pet like it's my own! I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I can remember, my German shepherd mix as a child, 2 labradors and I had a wonderful sweet Shiba Inu named lady who passed a couple years ago from chronic kidney failure. So I have a range of caring for all ages of dogs. I have 10 years of experience with training and obedience. I'll make sure they get out their pent up energy and you will come home to a happy pup! I will pay close attention to your pet and make sure they are safe at all times. If they have special needs I am more than happy to take care of that as well. I'm enthusiastic and care very much for all animals. Thank you for the opportunity to take care of a part of your family! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, and I can often accommodate evenings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks fit naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to work with pet parents who need dependable, recurring care. I always treat every pet like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and routine my priority. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, feeding instructions, medications, crate routine, and any house rules you have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Athena was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our senior GSD, played soccer with her, rescued her from an unexpected dip in our spa (ball chasing), and communicated clearly. Bonus, she is a great pet photographer and we received several frame-worthy photos and really fun videos while we were away. Highly recommend.”
“Ruth has been an absolute all-star to our pups! She’s attentive and detailed to a point. She makes sure to understand everything in their routine so they won’t tell that there’s a difference in their day. Ruth is also sure to communicate with us in a timely manner whether it is for a request or while she is watching them. Overall, super sweet and will be our regular for our fur babies. She’s already watched them 3 times! 😁❤️”
About: I grew up with a German Shepard as our family dog and now I live with my 3 year old Goldendoodle, Mello. I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes. I have extensive experience with dog training as well. Your pet’s safety and well being are my top priorities. Thank you for trusting me with your family. I’m working from home full-time during weekdays, my schedule is super flexible. Available full day on Saturday, Sundays, and during select national holidays if I’m not traveling myself. I have a single family house with a spare bedroom for your dog to stay if boarding overnight. During the day he or she will play with my dog, Mello, who’s the sweetest dog ever. I will walk / exercise your dog based on instructions provided. For drop in visits I will carefully follow all instructions and provide lots of love and comfort for your pet.
About: I have a lot of experience watching all types of animals all ages and sizes and will treat every single animal like they are my own animal! I currently only have classes on mondays for half of the day and the rest of the time i am free to care and watch your animals! I will treat your home and animals with the same respect i would at my own house with my own animals because i know it can be nerve racking to have someone new in your house with your babies
About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.
“Jenn is an amazing and thoughtful sitter! She stayed with our large dog and cat for 4 days, and Jenn was very responsive and generous (even bought our babies some toys). We came back to a clean apartment and happy pets! We definitely recommend Jenn!”
“Marissa is great! She is very flexible and was willing to change her plans as our plans changed at the last minute. I have been looking for someone I trust to stay with our pups and I finally found her! Marissa surpassed my expectations. We will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I'm a dedicated dog owner myself so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I'm patient, attentive e and committed to making every walk safe, fun and stress free. I treat every dog like family. I balance my work schedule with pet care and always make time to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I carefully plan my days to ensure each dog receives safe, enjoyable walks and consistent attention. On walks, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level. I always follow the owner’s routine and make sure pets return home happy and well cared for.
About: I’v been around dogs my whole life and have dog sat for many different families for the last 4 years! I love being around dogs and have a lot of experience with many different types of dogs! I’m currently a student at Cal State Fullerton getting my teaching credential. My weekdays are pretty full but I have flexible schedule to work around. I have dog sat some dogs at my house! I have a huge backyard that’s gated! I am available to play and care for dogs at their own homes also.
About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and have 2+ years experience petsitting dogs with special needs. I'm the mom of two whites tree frogs, so I'm also well versed with reptiles and other exotic pets! I'm comfortable with all sorts of critters, not just fur-babies! Reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and arachnids are all included and well loved in my care. I work part time, usually nights, and take classes during the week day. Friday-Sunday I am almost always free full time to watch your pet. If care is needed weekday, depending on how much time is required, I can visit before, after, and between classes to feed, check in, and let out for the bathroom. I'm well experienced with feeding schedules, administering medication, potty breaks/cleaning litter boxes, and keeping spaces clean and tidy! I strive to leave homes I visit better than I found it. I'm also known for taking lots of silly pictures of your pet to send alongside daily updates.
“Esther was wonderful with our Kiki. She was nice, clean, responsible, and took great care of our dog and house. It was the first time we were on vacation from our puppy and Esther sent us updates and videos so we knew Kiki was in good hands. Highly recommend Esther for your dog sitting needs.”
“Shhelby recently watched my dog when I was out of the country and did an amazing job. My dog was having tummy issues and Shhelby handled it so well, was very conscientious, and sent me thorough and frequent updates. She left my place cleaner than she found it and most importantly I could tell she really cared about my dog. Strongly recommend her.”
“Ryan watched our home and pets(cats, dog, chickens) for our 9 day vacation and he did a phenomenal job, he kept in touch with regular updates and gave the pets lots of love and attention. Ryan is definitely our go-to guy for pet sitting!”
“LOVED having Jessica in my home. She was great about communicating and pictures and keeping me up to date on everything. I felt safe leaving with my dog babies w and will use her again.”
“Tracy was very attentive to our pets needs. She kept in contact with pictures and videos, which we loved. She responded quickly and was able to meet prior to our leaving so we could go over things and show her around. We were able to change our arrangements with Tracy and Rover while away. Very happy.”

Tammy is a real pro with animals and watched Hazel for 13 days. Hazel is very active and needs a good walk every day. This wasn’t easy because Tammy encountered rain as well as extreme heat. She followed all our instructions and we were well satisfied with her care of Hazel. We would hire her again.
Kirsten was wonderful. She was communicative and thoughtful, sending us updates and photos/videos frequently each day. Our boys were happy and healthy when we returned and the house was clean and tidy. Our large guys can be a handful but Kirsten managed them with ease. We will definitely book her again!
This was our first time leaving Zeus and Zara at home during a longer trip, and Lauren really helped us feel at ease. She followed their schedule, fed them on time, spent quality time playing with them and kept us updated throughout our trip. She also accommodated our last-minute request to extend their care. Most importantly, our dogs trust and absolutely love her. They were happy and well cared for when we returned, and we’re very grateful!
We went out of state for 5 days and had never left our cat so I was wanting someone at the house with her and so the house would not be vacant - We were very happy with Kelsey! She came over to meet with us first and we really liked her. She took good care of our cat, fish and even the outside animals / birds as I requested which meant a lot to me (not a typical request but she was great about it!) We loved how she asked questions when she had any via text. She also sent us a lot of pictures which was great! We recommend Kelsey!
Lena is amazing. Kind, responsible, responsive, exact, caring, gentle, honest, capable, safe…all the characteristics you need and want in a furbaby sitter. She stayed in my home with my furchild, Summer, sent pictures and videos often, followed my detailed, and particular, directions exactly, and most importantly, Summer loves her!! Lena made my time away from Summer bearable. Will request Lena again soon, and without reservation.
Ryan is simply wonderful. He stayed with our dog and cat for 6 days. He immediately became friends with our dog (and she’s quite a handful). Our cat didn’t accept him right away, but he wasn’t put off and found an approach with her - and after just 2 days they were already best friends. He always sent us photo updates and wrote about how the animals were doing. We can see that our pets didn’t miss us at all while Ryan was with them. He’s now number one on our list of pet sitters. Thank you so much.
Whitney is simply wonderful, and an amazing house and cat sitter. Our original sitter had to cancel a few days before leaving on a trip, and we were incredibly fortunate to find Whitney. She is very punctual, and kept our kitty’s schedule and routine going smoothly while we were away. She is great at communicating, letting us know when she first arrived and with daily updates and pictures. Her care for our home and especially for our kitty put us at ease while we were away. She is very neat and tidy and went above and beyond cleaning before she left and we arrived back home. Thank you kindly Whitney for spending the week with our kitty! For those looking for a wonderful cat sitter, Whitney is absolutely one of the greatest.
We had a wonderful experience! She was gentle, sweet, and incredibly accommodating. My little poochies felt calm, comfortable, and well cared for in her presence. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were with someone so kind and attentive. I would gladly trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to others!" 🐾💕
Brittney was amazing with our 11 week old puppy. I was so nervous about leaving him due to a work event, but was immediately set at ease with her calm personality and loving demeanor. I got updates and pictures regularly and was able to do what I needed to do for my job while knowing my puppy was safe and loved. Thank you!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Atwood is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $101 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,590 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Atwood. 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 Atwood 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 Atwood 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 Atwood 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
