About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I do not currently have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play and relax. I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.

We really appreciated Jenna accepting our short notice request for her to “house sit” our dog Simon for 3 days and nights. She reported no particular problems nor concerns. Jenna related that Simon did fine and she sent us a couple of photos and stated in communication when we checked in. It was nice to see the house just like we left it too ! We were happy with Jenna and would use her again !

My two puppies were very well cared for by Anne. It was my first time leaving them, so she sent lots of pics and text updates, which eased my mind. She is very good with our fury friends and I would highly recommend her. She is very attentive and did a wonderful job with my pups! She is well worth the cost for great care snd piece of mind. She’s a keeper!

Erica was an outstanding sitter. She left the house spotless and updated us several times a day with how our pup was doing. She stuck to our dogs schedule as if we were home and tracked all of our dogs care instructions on an organized spreadsheet. Very pleased overall!

Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!

About: I’ve gained experience working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included supervising group play, monitoring behavior, assisting with medication administration, feeding, cleaning, handling dogs safely, and using de-escalation techniques when pets became anxious or overstimulated. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight care, drop-in visits, and walks for both dogs and cats. I am committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience as a dog attendant at a dog daycare/boarding center! I have cared for both large and small dogs, cats, and fish! I am very flexible with time for your pets, all I ask is for you to let me know at least a day in advance for booking:) I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and responsive throughout every booking. I love sending lots of photos/videos, and leave a report card as well!

We are so grateful for Gracie taking great care of our Golden Retriever at our house for a week! She followed the daily routines and sent cute pictures, along with quickly responding when we’d check in. She also cleaned up after herself more so than expected and even shoveled some deep snow to help our dog get to the backyard for bathroom breaks. She works remotely too which is a big plus! Our dog seemed content in photos throughout the week and when we got home. We will definitely reach out to Gracie to see if she’s available next time we need a dog sitter!

About: I grew up around cats and have been living with dogs since I was 20. My first experience with dogs was my roommates/bestfriends Rottweiler. I knew the dogvtill the day he died. I got my first dog when I was around 30, a Saint Bernard. He pasted away July 2021, he was my best buddy. He suffered from cancer his last months and needed lots of special care. I have no problems caring for senior dogs, big dogs, active dogs, lazy dogs or puppies! I have experience managing multiple large breed dogs at the same time. I currently am unemployed as I just moved to Bremerton(to be with my girlfriend) a few weeks ago. I love dogs, they are my favorite. I treat dogs with respect and kindness. Lots of playtime, petting, and walks. If the dog is looking for attention I will give it to them. I lived with a Saint Bernard, there was no ignoring him!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.

About: I’ve enjoyed playing with and taking care of dogs for 9 years now. Although I haven’t had one of my own, my neighbors, family’s, and friends fur babies have gotten so much love from me! I’ve dog sat for multiple families in the past, whether it’s just daily check ins or getting to cuddle up with pups overnight, and I’ve loved every minute of it! I know how to administer medicine, give correct portion sizes to fit their needs, and absolutely love going for walks. Your babies will be loved so much! I’m currently a college student and work part time Monday, Wednesday and Friday so overnight stays and evening visits after 5:30 on those days work perfect. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m available in the morning and afternoons after 3:00. I’m available most weekends at any time, so overnight stays, and daily drop ins can happen at any time! When I meet your fur babies I will always be gentle, loving and caring towards them. I understand that meeting new people can either be scary or exciting, so I will take my time to earn their trust and safely get them where they need to go. Your fur babies health and safety is my number 1 priority, so if I need to take extra time to help them adjust I will!

Alexis was great! My dog Dasher is an enthusiastic little girl, but when she saw Alexis coming up the sidewalk to our house, it was like the two of them had been best pals forever. Alexis responded in kind, and I was immediately confident that she was an excellent fit to take care of my pets while I was out of town. She kept me filled in on how things were going and on the day that I came home, she checked in to let me know that she had swung by to let Dasher out one last time. All in all, if you want great care for your pets, Alexis is who you need!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cato

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 372 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cato. 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 Cato 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 Cato 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 Cato 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cato. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
