“Erika did amazing job taking care of my 3 dogs. She sat them for 8 am to 3 pm in my house while I was away. She sent me photos and updates of them playing in the yard, getting treats and cuddling on the couch throughout the day. She is very good with instructions and at keeping the house tidy. My dogs adore her. Thank you Erika!!”
“Vanja was an an absolute gem! It was my first time ever leaving my dog with a sitter and she made sure he was well taken care of. She went above and beyond in making sure he got extra walks and attention! Knew I was a bit nervous about leaving my baby so she sent lots of pictures and updates of him all night. I wish we lived closer to her, I would book her all the time!”
About: I grew up in a home filled with cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels and birds. I've reached an age where Im ready to give my all to their love and necessities full time. Im a stay at home empty nester mother who loves animals and the joy they bring. A house just really isn't a home without animals. Im very picky about the food my animals consume. I cook up 6 pounds of turkey a week with added vegetables, a scoop of Iams minichunks and a half of a can of wet food. Sometimes I add a packet of pedigree for a extra treat. People say I feed my dogs better than humans. 🤣
About: I’ve had pets all my life, mostly dogs i love dogs so MUCH, i don’t see them as pets i see them all as best friends and therapy. they’re so nice and loving and forgiving and cuddly, I’m patient with these little angels and i have experience pet sitting and doing minor training with them! I’m working sort of a part time job And am off Wednesday, and Weekends. I can dog walk anytime after 6:00pm on weekdays. So being productive will help me with new responsibilities and things for me to learn about different breeds of dogs! ill take care of your pets as if they’re my own, show them the love they need as if they’re owner never left!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”

About: More than just a side hustle, it’s my passion. 🌸 -lifelong dog owner -experience as a wrangler, ranch hand, & foster. -worked in boarding facilities & daycares -shadowed & worked alongside professional trainers -volunteered at shelters, rescues & ranches. -Experience with all sizes, ages & personalities, from puppies to seniors, including pets with special needs etc. My Home☺️ - home 24/7, so our days have room for companionship, play, rest & more! - My mother currently stays w me, offering an extra set of caring hands. *You’re welcome to meet her, too!* :) - A single-story home with a secure yard for supervised play & grass patches on the deck for potty breaks. ⭐️My animals always come first. They eat before I do. Their happiness, safety & comfort are the first things on my mind, & when your baby is in my care, they become part of that same love <3 & I truly understand they’re not “just pets” - They are family. They know your footsteps. They find you when you’re sad. They understand silently, better than most. I understand why leaving them with someone takes so much trust & faith. That’s why I care about the little things. Whether they’ve eaten, whether they’re comfortable, whether they need to burn off some energy or just have someone sit beside them. Working with animals has taught me how to listen to the things they can’t say out loud. I would be honored to earn your trust. I want them to have someone who notices, who understands & somewhere they can rest easy ☺️ -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. -My mother stays with me, 4 eyes - instead of 2:) - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Back Door Screen is always open so they can go in and out when they please. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly -Ac/heat on 24/7 for your babies ensured comfortability. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated in a different section of the house, or crated. I have always put full dedication to keeping an eye on your pups constantly:) In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I don’t want anything to happen to any of their stuff, or their furbaby.
About: I’ve grew up w/ 2 little chihuahuas Brownie & Cookie which i’ve taken care of since I was 14! As I grew older, i adopted another doggie, Nala, who is now living in Doggie heaven since 2022. I enjoy Cats & Dogs in my space they’re great companions and I love their different personalities. After taking animal behavior during my undergraduate I’ve been intrigued with the behavior of pets more and more! I would love to get to know you and your companion!! I’m pretty free and home majority of the time, I am an entrepreneur so this is what I do. I hope I can sit your furry friend. I have a small minimalistic 1 bedroom home. Honestly, there isn’t too much for your pets to get into AND i do have a few pet toys if your companion likes to play
About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄
“Yvonne is a knowledgeable, caring, responsive and compassionate dog lover. We felt comfortable with her in our home and assured that our 2 pets were in great hands--relieving the stress of being away from them for a couple of days/nights. I returned to two happy dogs--a super energetic puppy and our 15 year old 'diva.' I have no hesitation referring Yvonne for house sitting and doggie care!”
“First time rovers here! We were so nervous about having someone stay at our house watching over our pets but did a meet and greet with Sienna and immediately felt at ease. She was so kind and took notes. We ended up booking in home sitting with Sienna for a long weekend trip. She kept me updated every day and sent photos, I appreciated Sienna asking questions along the way. She was very detailed and cared about our pets. Bonus is our house was spotless when we came home :) Sienna, thank you so much for caring for our fur babies and our home. We hope you also enjoyed your stay at our house. You definitely have won us and our pets as repetitive customers! We will be rebooking! :)”
About: I have taken care of my dogs, my parents' dogs, and friends' dogs for years! I love small dogs but am open to working with a variety of breeds. I'm an actor and educator looking to pick up more work by spending time with some furry friends! I have a pretty flexible schedule and would love to work together. I adore dogs, and the comfort and safety of your furry friend is my number one concern. Belly rubs are a close second! I will ensure that your pet has only the utmost care and treatment.
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our 3 month old puppy Benny! She took care of him fully for 2 weeks and made him feel so safe and like we never left! Would definitely book her again!”
“Nichole was absolutely perfect. She took great care of my dog Kaya and left our house in pristine condition, which is always appreciated. She was very communicative and I was definitely put at ease while on our camping trip about any concerns over Kaya. Highly recommended. I will be contacting Nichole in the future :)”
About: I am a long-time dog lover. I have worked on horse ranches with dogs and was raised with many dogs. My friends and family call me the "pet whisperer" as I am always in tune to pets and intuitively know what they need. I have a love and passion for ALL animals. I can walk, play, soothe, even bathe your pet. Ensuring you peace of mind that they are in good hands, well cared for and provided with love and compassion. I can also work with your pet on basic commands, and any other training goals you may have in mind! I also have experience with senior dogs and their special needs. (Medication, diet, etc.) Caring for animals is a full-time occupation, so nothing will be getting in the way of my attention to your furry friend. If you entrust me to your pet, I promise to put him/her first, and will focus my days and nights on their care. Your pet's routine, will become my routine. The in-home care I provide is always above and beyond my client's expectations. I will administer any medications and special care, exactly to your specifications, and will care for your home as it were mine. Always leaving it exactly the way I found it (if not better). I will provide my undivided attention to your pet, making sure they are happy and having a fun time, while at the same time, getting their necessary rest and nourishment.
“Thank you for taking such good care of our three dogs! I could tell how much they loved you with how comfortable they were. Both my husband and I were very pleased with how smoothly things went and the updates throughout the weekend! Thank you again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Jay
Vanja took very good care of our two large dogs. One is shy but he took to her right away. She was open to a meet and greet beforehand, which I really appreciated. When we returned home the dogs were happy and healthy, and the house was just as we had left it. I would highly recommend her.
Erika is AMAZING—just delightful, responsible, communicative, reliable, and very focused on the well being of all animals. I felt so relieved to know my kitty was in her hands while I was away. I will knock down her door to care for Clover every time I have to go away. Thank you Erika!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Blue Jay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,499 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue Jay. 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 Jay 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 Jay 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 Jay 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 Jay. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
