“Katelyn was very communicative and responsive during our sitting. We had a fluke issue with one of our house alarms while we were gone, and Katelyn was very patient with helping us figure out the problem and find a solution. She took great care of our pets and sent many photos. We would recommend her!”
About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.
“I'm thrilled to share that our experience with Tamara as our dog sitter was fantastic! Over the 4 days and nights, the dogs were taken care of but also radiantly happy. It's evident they received top-notch care and attention. Highly recommend Tamara for a worry-free pet sitting experience. We will be using her for further dog-sitting needs.”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals. We had dogs, cats, lots of birds, turtles, snakes, lizards, rabbits and ferrets. I love all animals! I have experience with them at all stages of life and especially enjoy training them. My dog is a part of my family, I will always treat every animal in my care as if they were my own family member. I do work over night a few days out of the week, but I am able to be available to care for your fur baby whenever. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet new neighborhood. I have lots of toys and treats and can provide frequent potty breaks. I believe in providing the same level of care I would want for my fur baby.
“We had a lovely experience booking Andrea. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of our kitties. Andrea was very thoughtful and gave our cat his medicine even when we were about to be home so we had one less thing to do after a hectic day. I would definitely book again if our cats needed watching ☺️”
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine, labeling me the "animal lover" of the family. I volunteered in a dog grooming/boarding business when I was in middle school, and as an adult, I volunteered at the Austin Humane Society for 4 years. (walking, training, feeding, bathing, playing) Pet care is not just about being IN the room; it's about active engagement, playing, keeping structure, and giving your fur babies the dedicated love and attention they need while you're away. I understand routine is important for giving your pet(s) comfort and peace of mind. I also believe in positive reinforcement to keep up with any ongoing training you're already practicing at home. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs structured play, a senior dog who prefers couch cuddles, or a cat who wants to play on their own terms, I do my best to adapt effortlessly to all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For house sitting, I'm typically available all days & times of the week except for Sundays heading into Monday mornings. For visits, I'm down for an early morning walk/jog, a midday trip to the nearest walking trail, and/or a visit before bedtime. When I visit your home, your rules apply. I follow all feeding schedules, play times, walking times/routes, treat allowances, etc. I am very comfortable administering medications and bathing, if needed.
“Julia did a fantastic job caring for our puppy while we were away for the week. It was our first time leaving him and she handled it so well. Great communicator and took wonderful care of our puppy and our home. Highly recommend!!”
“Gayle was great! Stayed with my senior dog for several days. Sent regular updates and left my apartment cleaner than it was when I left! She will be a great sitter for your baby!”
About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.
About: I’ve had animals for a long time. I started with puppies, potty trained love taking them for walks and taking them to parks to play. I’ve worked with several different breeds from chihuahuas to st bernards Monday-friday all day I can do some overnight but I will work towards an overnight availability. Best I can do is until 6am or possibly 8am I have a big apartment and I have so many places to walk the dogs. I have so many activities planned so they will have the best experience
About: I have grown up having dogs my entire life. I have two family dogs named Comet who is 15 years old and Lucy who is 8 years old. I love my dogs and have taken great care of them. I also regularly walked a dog named Lucy (different from my family’s dog Lucy) twice a week for a year while in college along with many other walks, drop-in visits, or sitting opportunities over the past six years. I enjoy walking, sitting, and doing drop-in visits for dogs. They bring me great joy, have such fun personalities, and get me outside for some exercise and fresh air. I am a social worker who is currently working on transferring licenses from states. With that said, I am currently very flexible with my schedule. I will always prioritize your pet’s needs. I usually like to see what the dog is doing in their own space or in a new space like my house so I can learn their preferences. I am always in the same room as the dog and never leave them on their own. My house is very clean and organized. There is plenty of living room and bedrooms space for them to roam around.
“Remington came in to house-sit my dog on short notice and did an amazing job taking care of her. He went above and cleaned up a bit for us as well. We really appreciate his help, we recommend and will rebook him in the future.”

“Yes! I will hire Aaron again! He loves animals, thats what makes a good pet/house sitter! Very attentive to my fur babies! Good communication without interrupting my vaca! He is there when he says he will be! Which is actually a rare quality from Rover professionals! I’ve had only 2 sitters be here when they promised they would! Ok maybe 3 but she was lacking common sense so, Next! Hoping Aaron will stay in the business for a long time!”
“Norman was such a great experience for my big special boy. There was so much consideration to his needs and habits, as well as our training work. I got loads of photos and videos and I know my big boy was loved during my trip. Highly recommend Norman! ❤️”
About: I’ve raised a golden aussiedoodle puppy from 10 weeks old into adulthood. Familiar with clicker training and rewards based treat motivations on and off leash. I love to run and if your dog would like to run on our walks, I’m happy to get in a run together for extra exercise! I’m an early riser and can give walks/runs in the AM on the weekdays. Weekends I love to spend my time when I can with pets! I am very respectful of any rules in client’s homes and will leave any toys etc. where they belong. Communication is very important! If you communicate your dogs needs or style I will accommodate to them.
“Jessica did a great job watching our little dachshund, Dash. He loved cuddling and playing ball with her! We will definitely hire her again and recommend her to care for your furry loved ones.”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. From puppies, to full size, elderly and special needs pets. I’ve had a fun time training and playing with pups of all sizes and breeds. Taking care of them is one of my favorite hobbies. I’m always the go to for sitting when people need it. i’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups before or after work. I do work some weekends so I can do any time as long as I have notice beforehand so i can plan accordingly. i’m easily adaptable, the more information the better from feeding schedules to how long playtime should be and what you’d like to see while you’re away. I can provide toys if needed and treats as long as theyre safe for your babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,809 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue. 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 Blue 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 Blue 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 Blue 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 Blue. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
