My husband is able to come and go throughout the day as he can work from anywhere. We are super flexible! Our 2 pups are spoiled themselves (as they should be)! I have dog sat many times before, just not on River. We love all dogs like our own. We know how important it is to trust who has your babies. we always have 2 bowls of water filled, with lots of areas for dogs to relax.
About: Hi! My name is Aniyah, and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. During high school I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I completed over 300 hours of hands-on experience in a professional veterinary clinic. This experience taught me how to properly handle dogs of different breeds and temperaments, recognize signs of stress, and ensure every pet receives safe and attentive care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I started my own dog grooming and dog walking business last year. Grooming has quickly become one of my specialties because I enjoy helping dogs look and feel their best while keeping the experience calm and positive for them. I focus on providing gentle grooming and attentive care, especially for dogs that may feel nervous during grooming or in new environments. I look forward to providing your dog with reliable, compassionate care. If you’re looking for someone with veterinary experience, a gentle grooming approach, and a safe environment for your dog, I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. 🐕✂️ Because I am currently focused on growing my pet care business, I have very flexible availability throughout the week. I am available Monday through Sunday, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. Your pet will receive attentive supervision and structured care at all times while in my care to ensure their safety and comfort. My veterinary assistant background also helps me recognize when a dog may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly and appropriately

“Paula pet sat my four dogs. One was nervous around her and by the 2nd day she let Paula pet her. The time I was away I did not think about my pets, because I knew they were being cared for by Paula. She was very accommodating when our start time for pet sitting needed to change, because of the weather I had cancelled our original camping trip to an in town activity. Her willingness to change and adjust the start time of pet sitting allowed my family to have 2 wonderful days together.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have hands-on experience caring for my own cat, so I understand the importance of providing individualized care, patience, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Every animal deserves knowledgeable, compassionate care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own animals. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and pet sitting is the perfect fit alongside my work as an independent artist. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care for dogs, cats, and even exotic pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep food and water areas clean, clean up after your pets, and make sure your home stays tidy while you’re away. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience by keeping both your pets and your home safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return.

Let’s make your time apart from your pet as stress-free as possible—for both of you! 🐶 🦴 🐱🩵🦜🦴🐓💙🐴 Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I schedule time specifically for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins with the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I structure my day around my clients’ needs to ensure consistency and reliability. I treat each pet like they’re part of my own family, so spending time with them doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. On a weekly basis, I also stay in touch with pet owners to confirm schedules, provide updates, and adjust care plans if needed.

“Jennifer did a great job. I trust her with staying in my house and taking care of our dog Gucci. She left the house just as clean as we left it for her. Jennifer could not have done a better job. I am happy I found a permanent dog sitter.”

About: *I can work with you on prices* I’ve spent over 15 years caring for all kinds of pets who just want a gentle touch so they feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like they would at home. Reliable care, happy pets, and peace of mind for you—that’s my promise. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most days with a flexible schedule that fits your pet’s needs—walks, playtime, meals, and snuggles whenever they need. I’m home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long Cozy home with two friendly dogs—a calm senior and a playful 4-year-old. Secure yard for outdoor fun and plenty of indoor space for relaxing or playing. I’m home full-time with my 3-year-old, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. We are a 5 minute walk to the lake in a gated community so its very safe. We all know each other in the neighborhood. I usually walk down to the water and let the pups get a good picture for Momma & Daddy
“Luke had the best experience, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful from start to finish, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Luke was genuinely cared for and not just watched. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I would absolutely trust David again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional.”

About: Dogs are my favorite thing in the world. I make up little songs for every dog I see. A walking song, a dinner song, a nap song. Walks, feeding, medicine, overnight stays, I do it all too. I’m your dog’s new BFF! I do this full-time, so I am available every day. Quick to respond and often available same day. Just let me know when you need me and I’ll be there! I am very careful on walks and always watch for anything your dog could get into. In the yard, I keep an eye out for anything dangerous. If your dog needs medicine, I make sure it happens the same time, every time.
“Aundrea watched our 14 year old dog Kodiak for the second time and went above and beyond again!! Our A/C went out the day before we left town/when Aundrea was coming to watch Kodiak. In Texas summers, A/C is non-negotiable for humans and fluffy dogs. The house was quickly heating up but our A/C repair was taking a long time. Originally, she was going to stay in our house with Kodiak, but she proposed a solution of bringing Kodiak to her place, that would keep everybody safe and comfortable until the A/C was back. She handled getting him in and out of her car so easily (he is usually grumpy about being handled!) and sent me lots of photos of her place and Kodiak settled in. As we were traveling internationally, she stayed in touch with my family member who was at my house with the A/C repair man, and eventually, when the A/C was back on, she was able to return to our house with Kodiak and even stayed an extra night with him to make sure he settled in OK before we arrived home. After that she even told us that if there was another emergency while we were out of town to let her know. We love working with Aundrea because we know she has Kodiak’s best interest at heart and also has our back too! :) Thank you Aundrea!!”


“Carrie is great and my pups always enjoy her visits! It was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy a vacation abroad without worrying about my little ones at home. Carrie is wonderful about sending updates and photos while you're away.”

About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood dog walker—basically a golden retriever in human form. I love big dogs, small dogs, floofy dogs, scruffy dogs. Zoomies? Yes. Couch potatoes? Also yes. Sassy? Bring it. Shy? I speak fluent gentle baby talk. I enjoy long walks on the beach…and short ones to the fire hydrant. I’ve proudly owned 2 boxers and 2 poodle mixes, so trust me—I’ve seen it all. Muddy paws? No problem. Flying fur? Part of the outfit. Drool? Nature’s moisturizer. I literally cannot pass a dog without asking, “Can I pet your dog?” It’s a compulsion. Like breathing, but fuzzier. Bottom line: your pup’s in loving, experienced, slightly obsessed hands. Can’t wait to meet all the four-legged goofballs! I’m currently working part time as a bartender and part time from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am home most mornings and evenings. I have an apartment complex with a dog park in it. There are also lots of trails around me. I love going on walks, playing fetch and cuddling with all the fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 691 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avalon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
