“Can’t say enough good things about Sarah! Loved her interaction with my fur babies, loved her desire to learn about my dogs and ask questions, love the pictures and communication….. and absolutely love her professionalism . I believe Sarah will succeed at anything she chooses to do because of her great work ethic. Will definitely use her again!”
“Yerim went above and beyond and even brushed my cats because one of them puked. I came home to happy and calm kitties.. thanks for taking such good care of them :)”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pet. I also have repeat dog-sitting experience, including caring for the same dog for extended stays while his family travels. This has included multiple extended stays ranging from five days to two weeks, so I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted with someone’s pet while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles and following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I know every pet has their own personality, so whether yours loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable! I’m reliable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits as well as overnight house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, playtime and care routine. I know how important consistency is for cats, so I’ll do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, so I’ll always respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll carefully follow any feeding, litter, playtime or other care instructions you provide, and make sure doors and windows are secure when coming and going. I’m respectful, clean and considerate of your space, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing both your pet and your home are being well cared for!
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. I love spending time with dogs, going on walks, and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m using this as a fun way to gain more experience in dog walking and pet care while doing something I truly enjoy. I’d love the opportunity to give your pup some extra love, attention, and exercise I'm available from 6 am to 7 am and after work between 6 pm and 10 pm! Weekends I am quite flexible at the moment. I will carefully follow the instructions the owner has given me. My friends call me a mother as I am responsible, caring, and always have whatever my friend group needs. Honestly, I will bring those characteristics into this field as well.
About: Pleasure to meet you! I go by the name Kay! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own and have spent my life caring for variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and snakes. Growing up in a family involved in pet care (dog grooming, pet sitting, and boarding), I learned early on that every animal has its own personality, needs and routine. That experience has given me confidence working with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m passionate about animal health, happiness, and building trust with every pet I meet. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra patience, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time. Bonus: in addition to pet care, I’ve also photographed pets for charitable causes and past non-profit animal shelters. That has taught me more about working patiently with animals and making them comfortable in new situation. Weekends: I am available for dog walks and drop in visits Most Weekdays: Evening after 6pm by request, depending on availability I work hybrid and get every other Friday off. My calendar is up to date to ensure I could fully accept and commit to your pet/family member. When caring for pets in client’s home, I respect your space and follow your routines exactly as requested. I will double check all locks, gates, doors, and ensure there is provided fresh water. I will share photos and updates so you have peace of mind of how they are doing. At home, I live in an apartment complex where both my dogs are crate trained and following a structure routine. I ensure a safe and comfortable space for the both of them.
“Andrea is fantastic! Our senior dog had to have an unexpected surgery the day before we went out of town. Andrea stayed in our home to care for him. She was very attentive to his medical and dietary needs, and was very flexible and responsive to our requests. Even after just meeting her, I felt confident with Jerry in her care. She sent lots of photos and gave multiple updates throughout our trip to help put our minds at ease. I will definitely be reaching out to Andrea again in the future!”
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.
About: I got my first dog at the age of 6 and have been in love with dogs ever since. Due to my obsession of dogs I'm vigilant of the things that differentiate the needs of all kinds of breeds. Show me a picture of your pup and I'll be able to identify the breed. I'm currently working part time and in the evenings which leaves me with tons of availability in the morning. Additionally I have open availability on Fridays and Sundays as well as evening availability on Mondays and Saturdays. I will always keep a careful eye on your pets to ensure they don't get into any sticky situations which includes the peanut butter jar
“Maggie took great care of our pups while we were on vacation for 5 days. She walked them daily gave them lots of love and provided lots of photos and communication. We will definitely hire her in the future. Thank you Maggie!”
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.
“My husband and I are happy to have had Ryan take care of our dog, Theo, and house-sit for the weekend. We chose Ryan because he was responsible and kind. While caring for Theo, he took him on walks, played with him, and provided him with constant attention. He even sent us daily updates with photos. During his stay at our home, he showed great respect for our space and left our home just as kept ad when we left it. When we returned home, we discovered that he had taken the initiative to take out the trash and clean the areas he has used.”
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
“Lindsey did an amazing job. We have three difficult dogs, who can be a lot even for us and she handled them well and made sure they were comfortable. We will definitely be using Lindsey again and I highly recommend her. She also kept the house clean and even stripped the sheets from The bed!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own, so pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also raised weaning kittens, which taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and caring for younger animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine since I have two cats. I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking on pets every day, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give them plenty of attention and care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s normal routine and personality. I’m careful with feeding, walks, doors and gates, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention while they’re in my care!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Atwood
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!
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.
