“Ellyse is the best dog/house sitter we've ever had. She genuine cared for our dog like she was her own. She gets the need for my dog to snuggle, to potty at specific times, to play, just everything. Just a wonderful house guest, with plenty of pictures to keep my own separation anxiety at bay! Highly recommend Ellyse!”
“Ingrid was super reliable and great with our babies. The photos and videos were so nice to get! It made our trip so much more stress free knowing our girls were happy and well cared for.”
“It is such a comfort to know that when I have to be away from my puppers, there is someone dependable, reliable, and genuinely invested in their well-being. Christian goes above and beyond to build a relationship with my dog and make him feel cared for while I'm gone. He is incredibly patient with my whiny 140-pound canine baby, and I am so grateful for the care and attention he provides. Knowing my dog is in such good hands gives me real peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Kacey was very understanding of the “special needs” our cats have. She would always check in with us and let us know what was happening. Kacey would also send pictures every time she was with our cats. She went above all expectations we had in a pet sitter!”
“Mandi was such a trooper and never once complained our pups early wake up times!! The dogs were well cared for as was our home!! She was communicative before, during and after her stay and we would not hesitate to have her sit again if she’d have us. Thanks Mandi!!”
“Kelda did a great job of taking care of all of our fur babies while we were on vacation. I received pictures every day. She was also quick to respond to any messages I sent. When we got home, our house was in great order. Highly recommend her.”
About: About me: I am a Project Engineer for a construction company, we a have a little boy and a baby on the way, and we LOVE animals! We have two beautiful horses, three wonderful dogs, and two cats. Eventually I would like to rescue a few farm animals and foster dogs. One thing that breaks my heart is seeing animals in the shelter or up for slaughter. I think every animal deserves a second shot at life and I wish I could take them all on. However I have saved a few horses from slaughter and retrained them to give them a promising future! Basically I work hard to give my animals and future animals a wonderful life! In HS I was an active FFA member which gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge from just horses, dogs, and cats to dairy cattle, goats, poultry, rabbits, and swine. I also worked for a large animal veterinarian for 2 years as a vet assistant and gained even more knowledge on how to properly care for ALL animals. Ranging from exotics, livestock, equine, dogs, and cats. So your Fur baby is in GOOD hands! At this time I am only accepting clients for drop in visits or house sitting (I do not stay the night). As we just welcomed a newborn baby into our lives. However I am available at all hours to take care of your pet needs! I look forward to working with you! I am very attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to ensure your pets are well taken care of and your home is secure and exactly how you left it 😊

“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Daniel is amazing. Don’t hesitate to book with him. He took wonderful care of our pups and the house while we were away for over a week. He sent daily updates and photos. He was super motivated to do a great job for us and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our trip. We will for sure book with him again!”
“Christina sent regular pictures and updates and provided great communication. She left our house neat and tidy. She was very friendly and I enjoyed meeting her and appreciate her to taking good care of our sweet Luna girl.”
“Abbie was so wonderful! This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, but she did such a great job of updating me throughout the stay. You can tell she really cares about the animals and that gave me lots of peace of mind.”
“Lily was amazing, she did such a good job at watching my 2 dogs. She gave updates with pictures and asked questions when she had any. She left the house spotless and my dogs had the best time with her. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Gianna did a great job with our two active Australian Shepherds. She left the house in great condition and helped us out by watering plants when the temperature was abnormally high. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our two in the future.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. From the moment she arrived, she brought such calm, kind energy that both pups connected with her right away. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed every routine we shared, paid close attention to their personalities and needs, and made sure they felt safe, loved, and comfortable the entire time. We came home to happy dogs and a tidy house — truly the best feeling. We are so grateful for her care and professionalism. Samantha is dependable, compassionate, and clearly loves what does. We will be booking her again.”
“Shelby did an amazing job. My GSD doesn’t always like new people but when Shelby arrived she ran to get her ball for play. Would definitely recommend Shelby for house/dog sitting.”
“Was nervous to leave my two Dachshunds, but Sasha sent pictures and videos everyday, they looked happy. She left everything as good as when I left. Everything was well taken care of. I will bevusing her again. I would recommend Sasha, she did a great job!”
“Ashley and her son took wonderful care of our Golden retriever Milo and Kitty Kerplunk. They kept them active with walks and play time and plenty of cuddles. We loved the picture updates so we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were well taken care of. The house was left clean and fur babies happy. I highly recommend Ashley to watch your furry family.”
“Brandy is always so kind and considerate, of us, Ace, and our home. We had a delayed flight and she stayed with our dog Ace way longer than originally planned. When we came home, very late, our house was spotless-Im talking dishes done and put away, laundry done and put away, floors and stairs vacuumed, sheets washed, dried, and bed made, and it smelled so good in the house! Brandy is a treasure for us, and we appreciate her more than I can express!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Birch
Aubrie did an excellent job watching my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. She took great care of my dog, kept me updated with messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Aubrie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,504 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Birch. 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 Birch 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 Birch 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 Birch 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
