“Kind, trustworthy, and our two dogs (one who is elderly) and one cat LOVE HER! She stays at the house to make us feel better about leaving. We come home to a more clean house than we left it. This was the 3rd time we requested her and we will continue to do so.”
“Nina was great, she gave us updates every day, left our home in clean condition, and most of all kept Libby company while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking Nina again! 😊”
“Julia was a great companion and caregiver for our dog this weekend. She was attentive and communicated well with us regarding her time with him. The house was well kept and all his needs were met!”
“This is the first time we have used Beth and she was amazing!!! We came to a very happy dog and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Beth in the future for pet sitting!”
“Caitlin was wonderful watching my dogs this past weekend. This is my first experience with Rover. She was highly responsive with communication. She came over to my house in advance to meet the dogs in order to ensure a smooth transition, especially given my dogs protective nature. She also walked me through the process and expectations, not having used Rover previously. My dogs took well to her and that was most important! I would absolutely book with her again.”
“It’s always nerve wracking having someone watch your dog who has trouble with strangers, but Rachel made it stress free! She was patient and kind, which helped our dog warm up to her quickly. We can’t wait to have Rachel come again!”
“Kelsi was awesome! She did a great job taking care of our pups while we left for 4 days. Shared many great pictures throughout our trip and it looks like everyone had a lot of fun! The house was in perfect shape when we returned. Thank you Kelsi!”
About: Hello! My name is Sydney and I am 22. I have had multiple dogs and cats during my lifetime whom I’ve helped train and care for. I have also taken care of many neighbors, coaches, and friend’s pets for extended periods of time and I can handle just about any kind of dog from a little dachshund to a pitbull. I am currently available most days of the week with pretty big flexibility. I would love to fill up as much time as I can with your furry friends, so reach out with any request and we can likely make it work! I am very active and love to take dogs on walks or runs around the neighborhood with me and have experience with less friendly pets. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Liv is fantastic with our two dogs. Both dogs are adopted rescues who require extra patience and Liv is the perfect fit for them - meeting them where they are until they are comfortable and ready to trust and snuggle. We appreciate the consistent daily communication and photos of our fur babies while we’re away. Liv goes above and beyond to take care of the dogs while staying in our home. We are so grateful and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fantastic pet sitter. Thank you Liv!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Megan and her family provided for our pups! Leaving home for 10 days can be stressful, but knowing they were staying at our house gave us total peace of mind—and I’m pretty sure our dogs were thrilled with the extra love. Our pups were in fantastic hands the entire time. To top it off, they left our house spotless and even washed the sheets and towels before we got back, which was such an appreciated touch. We would love to have them back anytime!”
“This was our second time having Alex stay with our pups and she was just as amazing! Our boys always look so happy with her and it’s so nice to know they are in good hands while we are away. I’ve been recommending her to everyone!”
“Our pup seemed very relaxed when we got home which is usually not the case. From the pictures Haylee sent, I can tell Hatty really was comfortable with her! Will definitely use again”
“She is one in a million. Stepped up and took booking to housesit with my dogs on very, very short notice. The dogs loved her. Nothing destroyed by my anxiety dog. She will definitely, hopefully be my primary dog sitter”
“Christine is a great caregiver! My dog & cats were given excellent care. She stayed a week and kept in touch so I knew how they were all doing. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets because Christine was so good to them. She fed, walked, administered medication and even cleaned up after them.”
“Bailey was great! Very thorough communication and quick responses to all my questions. She sent plenty of pictures over the weekend and cleaned up the house before she left. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Ellie did a great job taking care of our menagerie while we were out of town. Our dogs, Keba and Elvis, were excited to see her and they did very well with her. Our difficult cat, Jasper, also sat on her lap on the couch which is amazing! We highly recommend Ellie for taking care of your furbabies. They will be happy, relaxed, and well taken care of.”
“Olivia went above and beyond this week! She extended her stay when my plans changed because of weather and was very flexible with her schedule. She also did some housekeeping tasks that helped me out when I was away, I appreciate her willingness to take care of them for me!”
“Natasha did an awesome job pet sitting for Vada! She spent extra time with her (because Vada is so loveable!) I'll definitely use Natasha again if our schedules align.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Coates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,134 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coates. 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 Coates 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 Coates 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 Coates 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.

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.
