About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a background in doggy daycare services, veterinary medicine, and professional animal care. I worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years and as a zookeeper for 3 years, giving me experience caring for animals with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and I’m attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior or health. Our home is shared by our two friendly medium-sized dogs, Allie and Eury, who are great with other pets. We also have three cats and a bearded dragon, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and managing a multi-pet household. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication, exercise, or simply lots of attention and love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of our own. Monday–Sunday: I work part-time in office and work from home the remainder of the time, so I’m available any day of the week and offer boarding in our home for dogs and cats, including puppies and senior pets. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that is just under half an acre, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. We’re happy to follow your pet’s normal household rules and routines while they’re staying with us. If your pet isn’t allowed on furniture at home, we’ll respect that! Our own dogs are allowed on the furniture, but we’ll maintain whatever boundaries you have established for your pet. We can also provide kennels if your pet is crate trained or prefers a kennel for sleeping, eating, or downtime. Because we have young children in our home, boarding pets must be comfortable around young children. I’m happy to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and individual needs before their stay so I can help them feel comfortable and safe.
“Angela was wonderful with our Annie, prompt and attentive and kept us updated throughout out the day with photos. Angela was very personable. We are on vacation and so happy she was available to watch Annie on the days we're out and about.”
About: I’ve cared for active, large dogs since childhood and understand their need for attention, exercise, and careful monitoring — especially in hot weather. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors and family, supporting pups and cats of every size. I’m currently preparing my graduate school applications and updating my portfolio, which gives me plenty of flexible time throughout the week. Pet care fits easily into my routine — whether daily walks, active play, or dedicated sitting time. I have reliably house-sat and pet-sat before, always keeping pets in their familiar environment where they feel safest. In a client’s home, I’m careful to maintain their routines, respect their space, and avoid disturbing anything in the home. My focus is on creating a calm, comfortable experience for pets of any size.
“I highly recommend Casey to care for your fur babies! We traveled out of town and she went over and beyond caring for our 16 year old Sadie. Casey is super clean and very polite. Knowing Sadie was being looked after by Casey provided such a wonderful trip to see our family. I can’t wait to have Casey come back for our next trip.”
“Jordan was fantastic. She was attentive to our dogs and was also very friendly and professional. She gave us continuous updates about how they were doing while we were gone and was great with both dogs.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience working with my own and others' dogs, including 5 years of professional experience at a doggy daycare and a local rescue. I've cared for dogs of every age, breed, and temperament — including dogs other sitters have called aggressive. My own reactive lab/weimaraner mix taught me to read body language and keep dogs comfortable in any situation, and I'm now a professional dog trainer. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, your dog's routine gets followed exactly and they're treated like my own. Open and flexible mornings, evenings, and weekends, holidays all work. Recurring drop ins, walks and overnight stays welcome. Last minute requests okay with quick confirmation. I will help to maintain the boundaries you have set for your household and I am comfortable working with all different pets. If there is a specific routine you have set up for your house I will abide by it.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and keeping pets company. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m currently attending school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pet. I’m available around my class schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet supervised, and make sure they are comfortable in their environment. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Claire was amazing! Our Great Dane Ruby who we have never left alone loved her! Ruby is a very anxious dog and Claire made her feel safe and took amazing care of her and our house!”
About: Hi I’m Raquel ! I’ve been in a home of pet lovers and care takers my whole life! My mom is a dog groomer and I’ve handled and cuddled all dogs and cats of all sizes & have watched & learned to care for every ones extended families (fur babies)! With a small old dog of my own I’ve been able to experience a full spectrum of dog parenting and would love to take care of your pets so you can rest and relax knowing they’re in good hands :) I teach yoga a few hours a week and enjoy getting steps in and hanging with dog friends in the between, this let’s me continue my yoga gig and do something else I love too! I try to stay as close as I can to the routine of the animal and what’s “normal” for them and comforting them while owners are away. And maybe a few extra treats ;) near our home is a dog park + plenty of space to roam for in-home pet visits as well!
“Hannah was EXCELLENT! She went Above & Beyond with my Billie. Hannah sent me a dozen pictures of Billie. She has the sweetest personality. I would use her again and I recommend her highly!”
“Eric was great! He took great care of our snuggly beagle and our home. Chester was at ease with Eric and we could tell that he got all the treats and affection to which he is deservedly entitled. We will definitely ask Eric to sit for us again on our next trip.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 617 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avenstoke. 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 Avenstoke 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 Avenstoke 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 Avenstoke 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.
