“Whitney did a great job with taking care of our dogs! She communicated a few times each day and sent pictures while we were out out town. It gave us peace of mind having someone at our house to keep our dogs in their own home. Thank you for house sitting! We will definitely book her again for our next trip.”

“My husband and I had to leave town for a family emergency and Audry was very, at last minute, accommodating. Our Bosun and River were very well taken care of. From the minute we met her we felt very comfortable leaving her at our home with our fur babies for the week. We will definitely be repeat customer's. She is a very clean and tidy person.”

“Mattie is a stellar pet sitter. Our dog is 85lbs and very very scared of people. By their second meeting Bar greeted her at the door. That in itself showed me that she is a kind soul. She took excellent care of them. We will 100% use her for pet sitting in the future.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with great communication and of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The best part was coming home to happy, relaxed dogs, it was obvious they had been so well cared for that they hardly seemed to miss us! We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave each of them, as well as the care she took with our home. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet care needs. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always grown up in a home with at least two animals, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats—I’ve also cared for birds and bearded dragons, and I truly love animals of all kinds! I’m happy to meet you and your pet wherever you need the most support. I’m comfortable maintaining established training routines, keeping pet areas clean and organized, and providing extra care for senior or special-needs animals. This includes assisting with medications, helping navigate stairs, providing diaper changes when needed, and giving them the patience, attention, and comfort they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime and cuddles, help sticking to their routine, or a little extra care and attention, I’m happy to help! I’m a college student with classes primarily in the mornings and typically finish in the mid-afternoon, giving me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available full-time on weekends and if needed during the week, I can often stop by in the early mornings, during lunch breaks, or in the afternoons to make sure your pets are happy and on schedule. I understand that every pet has a different routine, so I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits their needs. I’m also committed to communicating my class schedule and availability clearly and promptly, while making sure we’re on the same page about your pet’s care, routines, and expectations. Your pet’s well-being comes first, and I’ll make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in reliable and caring hands! I treat every pet and home with the same care, respect, and attention I would want for my own. Before each booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, training expectations, and any special instructions. I would love to stop by and meet you and your pet prior to the booking if possible, putting faces to names. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. Depending on the service will dictate how much time in your space I will spend. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets or animals who need extra assistance, including help with stairs, diapers, or medications. I’ll communicate with the owner throughout the booking and am happy to provide updates and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Jenae, and I’m a reliable, patient, and experienced caregiver who genuinely loves working with animals. I have several years of experience caring for children, which has helped me develop strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and understanding individual needs — qualities that translate perfectly into caring for dogs. Whether your pup needs a fun, energetic walk to burn off energy or calm, consistent companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I’m committed to following your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m dependable and take pride in being someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I currently work full time but have time available in the morning and in the evenings. I'm also available to do drop in visits on my lunch break if needed. If your dog is on a schedule I will make sure they stick to that set schedule. I also understand that safety is #1 priority. I will make sure your dog stays safe at home and away from home when outside.

About: Dogs have become a true passion of mine. I provide more than feeding and walks; I focus on understanding each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I’ve worked extensively with puppies and adolescent dogs, helping build confidence, good manners, and positive social skills through structure, patience, and consistency. I carefully monitor eating habits, energy levels, and overall health while dogs are in my care, and I keep owners updated with photos and detailed communication. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. My schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I plan my routine around exercise, structured play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. I strive to maintain each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my highest priority. Every new dog is introduced gradually based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience using crates appropriately for rest, meals, and decompression when needed, and I carefully supervise all interactions between dogs. If your dog prefers quiet one-on-one attention, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I believe every dog is an individual. I take time to observe behavior, communication, and comfort level so I can provide care that fits each dog’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Ashley took care of my cat and dog while I was dealing with a family emergency out of town. My cat has diabetes and my dog has pretty serious separation anxiety. While I was away, my cat had to see a vet for a stomach issue. Ashley kept me updated the whole time and put my worries at ease. My pets warmed up to Ashley and DeHaven pretty quickly upon first meeting them. They are good people. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Benns Church

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,424 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benns Church. 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 Benns Church 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 Benns Church 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 Benns Church 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 Benns Church. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
