“Gabby was amazing! She was very responsive, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our girl while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Britney watched our two older basset hounds for 2 weeks. She did an excellent job. She sent photos and updates daily. She took excellent care of the dogs and our home. I would highly recommend.”
About: Hi there! My name is Samantha and since I am home full-time, your pets will receive my undivided attention and a flexible routine tailored exactly to their needs. I genuinely love both cats and dogs, and I focus on providing a calm and reliable presence. Whether I am staying at your home, dropping in, or out on a walk, your pet's safety is my absolute top priority. I can confidently monitor everything they chew on, what they eat, and keep a strict, watchful eye whenever they are outside around other dogs. What sets me apart is my extensive, practical experience with medical and senior care. I am entirely comfortable administering pills, liquids, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin). Services I Offer: ~In-Your-Home Sitting, Walks, & Drop-Ins: Available for cats and dogs of all ages. ~Senior-Only Boarding (My Home): I live right on a beautiful trail system perfect for peaceful, low-impact walks! I have two sweet senior dogs of my own who love calm company. Because my dogs prefer a quiet environment, I happily open my home to fellow senior dogs only—no energetic puppies, just a relaxed space for older pups to lounge and stroll safely.I treat every animal in my care with the same love, protection, and respect I give my own! Because I am home full-time with an open schedule, I am flexible and can easily structure my days around your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication timelines. My regular day already revolves around senior pet care. I live right on a beautiful trail system, so my mornings and evenings include peaceful, low-impact trail walks. If I am house sitting for you, doing drop-ins, or hosting a fellow senior dog at my place, your pet will seamlessly fit into this relaxed, attentive routine. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): When I watch your pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine exactly as it is to prevent any stress. I am hyper-vigilant about their safety. I closely monitor everything they chew on or eat, and I keep a watchful eye whenever we are outside around other dogs. I am highly experienced with medical routines, so I can smoothly handle precise schedules for pills, liquid medications, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin).
About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.
“Air offered to do a meet-and-greet before the booking date, was on time, was very respectful of my home, and was super sweet to my Zoey. Zoey has separation anxiety, and she was fast asleep and totally relaxed in Ari’s lap when I got home. I highly recommend Ari and will be booking her again!”
“John was great! He took great care of our dog Maverick, carefully following all of our directions and keeping him happy and safe. He spent tons of time with him which was great because he struggles with separation anxiety. He gives us regular updates and sent photos so I felt confident he was being well taken care of while we were away. I definitely recommend him!”
About: I believe great pet care is about more than feeding, walks, and letting dogs outside—it’s about making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their person is away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and very tuned in to an animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different: some need lots of activity and play, while others are happiest with a calm presence, a familiar routine, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable caring for pets at different stages of life, from energetic younger animals who need consistency and positive reinforcement to senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, and closer attention. I take routines and owner instructions seriously and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave knowing your pet is with someone who will truly pay attention to them—not simply “check in” and move on. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can work around your pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and care routine. I know how important consistency is when you’re away, so I do my best to keep your pet’s routine familiar and comfortable. I also make sure visits don’t feel rushed—whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, affection, or simply some calm companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the individualized care they need. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in the environment they already know and feel most comfortable in. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other specific care instructions. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety, and I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and privacy. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, giving them affection and interaction when they want it while respecting their space when they need it. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being treated with care and respect while you’re away.
“Lorraine took amazing care of our two pups and left us at ease while we were traveling. She was easy to communicate with and always sent updates and pics of our boys. She also went above and beyond by cleaning the house and left it likely in better shape than when she arrived! Will book again and highly recommend.”
“Brighid exudes calm capabilities and a gentle nature. Our senior pup loved her constant companionship while we were away. She left our home tidy and even washed the sheets and remade the bed she slept in. Who does that! She was quick with communication and sent us feedback during our trip. I’d happily hire her again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since i was very little. Friends and Family have needed me to walk, feed and love their pets. I am experienced with every sized dog and cat. I am currently studying at Montana State University for Equine Science, so I have lots of experience! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to love your pets! I am available almost every single day of the week! I have 2 dogs and four cats at my house, they are all nurtured and can be separated if your pet doesn’t like others. I can easily provide running space in my fenced yard, and i have many pet supplies on hand.
About: I have taken care of all ages of Kittens, Puppies, Cats & Dogs. I am comfortable with dealing with different personalities or needs. I care very much about making sure your pet feels loved & cared for while you are away! I am currently a student at MSU & I usually am only at school for 3-5 hours a day for lectures. When working with pets, I make sure to spend my free time with them to make sure they are cared for! I do not offer services at my personal house. I will come to your house. I like a clean & stress free/easy to understand environment. It is also a requirement that your house is a safe environment for myself & your pets. Communication is a must to create a trusting relationship with your pet/house sitter!
“Lillian was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter for a long weekend!! She kept my pup super active - I knew he was getting great care and lots of fun activity! She was very respectful of the home and left it very clean. She went above and beyond what I expected. Would 1000% rebook!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Chimney Rock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 417 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chimney Rock. 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 Chimney Rock 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 Chimney Rock 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Chimney Rock 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.

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.
