About: I am a wildlife scientist with a passion for all animals. I believe that every animal has their own unique personalities and I love getting to know them. Whether caring for birds, dogs, cats (and even octopus!), I provide the same care all animals deserve- a safe environment where they can feel comfortable and confident. A lifelong dog owner, wildlife scientist and lover of all animals. I have a flexible schedule and am able to fit your pets needs in day or night. I will always do my best to accommodate to your schedule- I know some things you can never plan for! I love to spend lots of quality time outside with your pet, encouraging their natural senses and lots of fun play. It is my goal to make your time away from your pet should be as stress free as possible- I am easy to reach, take lots of pictures and will send updates throughout my time with your animals.
“This was our first time using Rover and we were a little apprehensive. But Jared came and met our dogs before staying and made us feel at ease. He sent us updates and did everything he said he would. We had a great experience and will be asking him to come back again!”
“Bridget was fantastic! She was always very responsive and kept us updated with the cats throughout our trip. She also gave us the sense that she really cared for our cats well being and gave them lots of attention.”
About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.
“Cassie was wonderful with our kiddos! She stayed at our house with our 6 dogs, yes 6! and sent us several pictures and updates while we were away. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend her, she was the best!”
“Shannon was an amazing houseguest and pet sitter for my dogs and cats overnight. She took great care of them and was extremely proactive and responsive with updates while she was here. She even came a little earlier than requested! I’ll definitely be booking Shannon again the next time I need someone to stay or drop in for a visit.”
“Jessika was great! She communicated a lot, sent pictures, looked after my home and treated my family just like they were her own! She was also attentive and super helpful, asking if there was anything she could help with around the house awhile I was away. If I could give her 10 stars I would ☺️”
About: I believe animals should receive love, attention, and care the same as humans do. I’ve been surrounded by animals almost my entire life and i’ve learned to care for an animals in many ways. From nail clippings, vet visits, nap sessions and quality time, and even trying a new snack to cure their craving. I am a first responder so dealing with animals is something I handle daily! Every encounter is different but I intend on getting the animal home safe to their family and owner! Animals are family so their deserve the best care at all times! I am a police officer and I work 4 days (2 days 6am-6pm/ 2 nights 6pm-6am), then i’m off for 4 days. My schedule rotates but I have so much time on my hands. I don’t find it any better to spend my down time with animals which I enjoy, and helping out someone who needs it! I have a 4 year old Maltese and a 10 year old cat. I allow my animals to walk around freely because they’re both potty trained, and get along very well. I allow my dog to eat at certain times due to him not eating too much and gaining a lot since he’s a smaller dog. I allow my cat to eat whenever he likes. I take my dog out 3-4 times out a day, sometimes more whenever I see him standing but the door. I give my dog 1 treat per day and i bathe him every 2 weeks. My dog gets groomed every month depending on the season and if I want his fur to grow out. What I offer is dog walks, stop ins, dog sitting over night or during the day with whatever aligns with my schedule.
About: Hi! I love animals and love meeting new animal friends! I am very detail oriented and love to spend time with animals whether that through training or simply just cuddling. I have taken care of all types of animals my whole life and I am honored to care for someone else’s fur baby! I have a flexible schedule as a stay at home mom and am able to offer care services from overnight stays to grooming and basic training. I hope to be your top choice for your pets care! I am currently a stay at home mom and I can offer 24/7 services! I am readily available for all breeds of dogs and cats and I also like to research different breeds to learn about how to care for everyone’s unique individual traits. I am able to carry animals as needed and I also have an SUV that can be used in cases of emergency. I am up early mornings and can adjust to your fur babies schedule as needed. I have a fenced in dog kennel that was built for my own dogs which has 1 access point to make sure there are no accidental breakouts. I have a rather large home that offers multiple places to house your pet because I know everyone has a different situation so we are very adaptable. I am able to follow a routine and instructions left by my clients in the event I am needed at their home address.
About: I am an animal lover and would love to help take care of your furry, feathered, and scaled friends! I have 3 cats and since I was born, I have always had at least one cat and fish. I also love dogs and have experience with farm animals, too. I can help with feedings, waste clean-up, walking, play time, brushing, and whatever else you may need. I am also happy to take photos, send you text updates, or do a phone call/video chat with you during the service so I can keep you informed with any updates and to put your mind at ease (I know how stressful it can be when you've just met your pet sitter and you're away on vacation, missing your babies- I've been there!). Please feel free reach out with any questions or if you'd like to schedule a phone or in-person interview. I currently work part-time as a tour guide and do the occasional side gig in the pet care/housekeeping field. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I can make early morning and late afternoon and evening visits. Certain days I am available any time of day, as I am only working part-time and not every day. I always respect the client's house rules and put pet safety first. I can assist with feedings, walking dogs/letting them out in the yard, waste clean-up, brushing, and playtime/keeping pets' company.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 241 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avalon. 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 Avalon 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 Avalon 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 Avalon 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.
