“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with our standard poodle. She house sat with her while we were away as we were unsure how our dog would be with her labs. We agreed to her taking our girl over for a visit to her house, it went amazingly well. Jennifer took great care of Rita, sent regular updates and videos and was very flexible. We thoroughly recommend her and would definitely use her again for any future trips out of town. Thanks Jen!!!”
“Roree was very communicative and showed up right on time for both visits. We have complicated kitties that need to be kept separate and Roree was up for the task. I will absolutely be booking with her again very soon!”
“Erica was so lovely, patient, and communicative! We potentially needed a last minute sitter for the weekend, and she was so kind while we waited to confirm that we did in fact need help. Our meet and greet went wonderfully and all of our pets instantly loved her. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. We'll definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi!! I’m very experienced and I love all pets and would be the perfect fit for your Pets needs and wants! I can’t wait to care for you pet and make them feel right at home!

I love pets and I have 10 of my own including Chickens Dogs Goats and Cats and I love every one of them so much including my new mini dachshund that I got !
“Thank you, Jen, for doing an outstanding job caring for my dogs and my home. I am impressed with your ability to relate to my dogs and to follow instructions. They immediately felt comfortable with you. I also appreciate how experienced you are with managing them on their walks and in the house. After you and I walked them together, I had no worries! When I need a sitter, I will call you!”
“Lauryn was a great sitter. We had a little hiccup with scheduling but she communicated the whole time, found her own coverage which I really respected, and in the end it all worked out. She sent tons of videos and pictures of the boys and left the house clean. I would absolutely hire her again!”
“We had to go out of town on short notice, and we were so happy that Brandon was available to stay with our dog and cat. This is the second time he’s taken care of them. Brandon is really good with our pets and they really like him. He’s conscientious, considerate and kind. Thank you Brandon!”
“Lynzi took such great care of our dogs this weekend! One of our dogs is scared of new people and Lynzi won her over in a short time. :) We are thankful for her good care and communication.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I have owned dogs and cared for them for years, along with experience house sitting and occasionally caring for cats. I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm responsible, attentive to details, and happy to follow specific care instructions to make sure your pets and home are well taken care of. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving plenty of love, attention, and care! I am currently working part time but I work 3-4 days a week, and I work an 8-hour shift, with my schedule varying slightly, but I primarily work from 2:00–10:30 PM. This gives me plenty of availability during the mornings and early afternoons to spend quality time with your pets. I'm also able to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks and to check on them when needed. Outside of work, I am very dedicated to making sure the animals in my care receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I always do my best to work around their routines and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away! When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I also make sure to keep the home clean and tidy and follow any specific instructions the owners provide. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and stick to their usual routines. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and at ease while you're away!
“Nadia was so great to work with. She made our dogs feel comfortable and gave frequent updates and photos. She is easy to communicate with and was able to navigate our complicated situation with our 4 dogs and handled our reactive dogs super well! We will always choose Nadia moving forward to trust with our babies!”
“Marie's preparation for staying at our house and caring for our dog was very thorough. I really appreciated her thoughtful approach to caring for our dog and was thrilled to see how happy he was in photos and videos throughout our time away. Marie left our house spotless and took great care of everything!”
“I don’t even know where to begin. My husband and I rarely go on trips together. We have three dogs, they are all different ages with different care levels, and finding someone to care for them has always been challenging. Our family planned to go on an Alaskan cruise, and we decided to join them. We reached out to Karen and she was SO responsive. She got back to us quickly and agreed to do a meet and greet. Our dogs LOVED her immediately. We have a 6 year old street dog whom we rescued from Mexico. He is very sweet but is slow to warm up to people. Within a few minutes of Karen being at the house he was begging her for pets. It was decided right then that Karen would be watching our fur babies. Fast forward a few weeks and we are all lined up and ready to go on our trip. We’ve done a pack walk with Karen and have walked her through their daily needs. Karen is very thorough and wants as much information about your pets as she can get. To make sure everyone was good to go, my husband and I took our senior dog to the vet to get her arthritis shot. We wanted to make sure she would be comfortable while we were gone. At the vet appointment, we got heartbreaking news. Our veterinarian had a difficult and honest conversation with us about our dog’s health and quality of life. Our senior was 19 years old and had started experiencing some cogitative decline and mobility issues. After several long discussions and uncertainty about our pup’s health while we would be gone, we decided it was time to allow our sweet baby to cross the rainbow bridge. We were devastated and, as you could imagine, were experiencing some anxiety and uncertainty about leaving the other two dogs. When we explained to Karen what happened, she provided so much comfort and security. She let us know that there wasn’t any pressure to go on the trip and assured us that if we did, she would make sure our dogs were well loved on. We ended up going to Alaska. During our trip, Karen sent us photos and videos, and made sure to give us daily updates. If we request additional photos or videos, she always sent them no questions asked. She went out of her way to make us feel at ease, and it really helped give us the space and peace of mind to process everything that happened. Having Karen care for our fur babies not only allowed us to go on a family trip, it’s also allowed us to grieve our loss without having to carry the stress of the day-to-day and making sure the other dogs were taken care of. It goes without saying, but we will definitely book with Karen again. If you’re considering hiring Karen for your pets, I highly recommend it. You will be a so happy you did. Thank you Karen. We truly appreciate you, and the love and care you extend to Doodle and Wendi while we were gone.”
About: I've had dogs all of my life, numerous breeds and energy levels. I've personally owned a Golden Retriever and now a Bernese Mountain Dog. I used to run dogs in college and I fell in love with dogs, so I thought why not get exercise with a furry friend by my side! I can work with various leashes/collars/harnesses, etc. I've trained dogs with basic commands and potty training. I would love for your dog to come meet us and our Bernese! I have a Bernese Mountain pup, so between working full time and raising kids, making sure my little not so little pup gets exercise and a lot of sniffing everyday is extremely important and has become a fixture in our schedule. Teddy is fully vaccinated and can provide proof, so no need to worry! I ran and walked dogs in college for 2 years and I loved it. I've had numerous dogs in my life time and I make sure the dog is comfortable and ready to enjoy the time with us! This stay be a dogs most enjoyable time of the day, so making it fun especially with our Berner while getting to the point is crucial. Whatever piece of equipment like leash, harness, collar or piece of walking equipment you prefer for your dog I will work with. Comfortability is huge for pups/dogs. Crate would be preferred if not potty trained. I can let pups out to pee during the night. We want your dogs stay to be the best and would be grateful for your trust in us!
“Erich and Sarah did a wonderful job caring for our dog for the second time. Fergie has a sensitive tum and they followed instructions to ensure he continued to improve from some GI distress while we were gone. We’ll definitely book them again.”
“Jae went above and beyond with watching my dog Cumo. She was extremely affectionate and loving with Cumo - making him feel safe and at home instantly. She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of my house, even going out of her way to help with the garden. Would highly recommend!”
“Julie wasn’t only great with my pups she was also great dealing with me and the fact that I was VERY stressed out and anxious about leaving my babies! She was as patient as she was with them. Very grateful”
“Alexia was very responsive during the coordination & scheduling phase, excellent with communicating updates and asking questions as needed while watching our puppy, and handled our new, energetic puppy very well.”

Jennifer and Jeff were very welcoming of Zappa for his weekend stay. We were nervous how Zappa would do staying in a new place. Turns out he loved the farm! Jennifer sent us updates throughout the weekend to reassure us he was adapting very well. We will definitely be back!! Thank you 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Chelatchie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,631 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chelatchie. 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 Chelatchie 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 Chelatchie 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 Chelatchie 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.
