“Teeto always loves spending time with Robin! Now that his old age and dementia is coming in, he has a hard time remembering people but not Robin; he showered her with kisses 🥰 Robin is the only Rover we trust to handle Teetos many medications and health ailments.”
“Claudia took good care of our home and fur babies! She sent daily updates and photos which was really great to have while we were away. Coming home to happy and healthy pups is always a relief ?”
“Jordan was amazing. She took great care of Tango and sent us updates and pictures throughout the weekend. She was very thorough and asked lots of questions when we met up before to make sure Tango would be well taken care of. We will absolutely be hiring Jordan again!”
“Absolutely amazing house sitters! I can’t sing their praises enough! They were so kind and I knew the house and our 3 little pups would be in great hands! They send daily pictures and checked in to make sure we knew everything was ok, they even left the house in a better state than when we left. The pups were happy and relaxed when we returned and that has never happened! I hope we will be lucky enough for them to be available the next time we are out of town!”
About: I am a dependable, loving and caring person that wants to provide a loving service to your fur baby. Have raised 6 golden retrievers and 13 golden babies . Have attended puppy training and dog training classes. Have patience and love for all fur babies. I will travel as far as Snohomish , Woodinville, Duvall areas. I am retired looking for some fur babies to care for during the week while you are work to drop in and care for your baby. Sometimes some pets are good with drop in visits during vacation and dont need someone 24/7 a drop in works. Sometimes 2/3 visits sometimes works for vacation days depending on your pet. I am a mature individual that would respect your home during drop in visit to feed, potty break, love and play and walk if needed.
“Serenity is a wonderful communicator who made us feel at ease, house sitting and taking care of our furry ones! She was very kind and even took time and energy to leave the house better than she found it! I hope to have many more bookings with Serenity in the future!”
“Brandy was great with our senior dog! She was very attentive to our dogs needs, including administration of her medications and working through days when our dog was being a picky eater. She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures, which we requested and appreciated as it gave us piece of mind while we were away. Our house was also very well kept. We will definitely use Brandy's services again in the future!”
“Hiring Stef was our first dog/house sitting experience. Glad that I went with my hunch that she would be the perfect fit. Stef was amazing with our little Pomeranian. She left the house so nice and clean upon our return, and was an amazing communicator. Plus, Stef is just a really nice person who is so great and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!”
“Elisa takes great care of my little guys and home when I have to go out of town, whether it's for the night or a few weeks. When I get home everyone is happy and healthy! The house always looks great too!”
“Tricia did a wonderful job while we were out of the country for 4 weeks. Took great care of both cat and dog and the house. Had a couple of emergencies come up that she handled like a rock star! So very grateful we found her listing. It can be hard to get sitters for long stays at reasonable rates and have them be so honest, caring and communicative. Though we may not need a long stay sitter for a while again, I will definitely call on Tricia when we do.”
“Always a pleasure having Carlynn stay at our home. She is respectful, communicative and takes great care of our fur babies. She even helped care for our small bird. She left our home clean and well cared for. We hope to book her again in the future!”
“Truly, I have never had someone love my fur baby as much as we do but we wholeheartedly believe she loves our pup nearly as much as we do! She kept our baby active with long walks and upon our return from over a week away, both our dog and house were spotless! 11/10 would recommend and we have every intention of working with Diana again.”
About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
“Ana is fantastic! She’s consistently reliable, communicative, and caring. We always choose her whenever we travel because we know our dog will be well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter for our rambunctious 4 month Golden R puppy. We really liked our experience with Holly. She was very communicative, punctual and took great care of our pup. Would highly recommend and we will be using her services again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Baring 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 Baring 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 Baring 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
