“Nina was great! She listened carefully to all my care instructions, asked the right questions and then sent photo updates during the stay. My pups seemed happy and content. 😊 I’d definitely use Nina again!”
“This was our first time leaving Enzo since adopting him. Enzo can be tricky at times and Alex listened carefully to our asks, his diet, and handled his behavior well. She communicated well and sent lots of fun pictures ☺️”
“Jackie was fantastic! She stayed on our home with our dog and took great care of both! We will definitely use her again. Highly recommend. Thanks so much, Jackie!”
“Emily was great with our 2 dogs! She kept us informed each day. We are so grateful she took such wonderful care of our boys and house while we were on vacation.”
“Samantha was so wonderful with Buddy! She spent a lot of time brushing and petting him so he was a happy kitty while we were gone. Everything in the house was neat and clean when we got home. I would highly recommend Samantha!”
“Sherry and Bob were very attentive to our Yorkie and went the extra mile during bad weather to ensure he was taken care of while we were gone. Very responsive and I would highly recommend them!”
“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!”
“We love Olivia! We told her it was one of our dogs’ birthday and she went and got them Pup Cups to celebrate! I wouldn’t have done that even if I was home! She is so attentive and caring for them. I never worry when she is with them!”
“Beth was such a relief after a few negative experiences with dog sitters at our home. She was extremely communicative the whole time during our vacation, took excellent care of (and loved) our Nellie, and ultimately helped us have a stress-free trip out of state. We SO appreciated her kind and warm attitude and would love to book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors cats and dogs for 12 years whenever they needed! This includes walking, feeding, and other care for their pets. My family has a wire fox terrier that I helped train and take care of as needed. I’m available any day during the week in the mornings and evenings! I am also available during the weekends too to care for your pets! My house sits on an acre of land and has areas nearby to walk where I would walk my dog. In my client’s home, I will treat their pets like my own and treat them with care.
“Isabella was very punctual and followed our instructions for our 2 foster cats. She left the house tidy and responded quickly to our messages. Even though everything went well we would have liked more daily updates. We should have communicated this ahead of time. I think we are on the same page now and would use Isabella again in the future.”
“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!”
“Liv was amazing with our 2 dogs. Our house and pets were in great hands. We loved all of the cute pictures and updates during the week we were gone. We will for sure book Liv again.”
“Our sitter had to cancel for a family emergency pretty last minute so we decided to try Rover. We reached out to Tori and received a response and set a time to meet really quickly! After agreeing to watch our 12 week old puppy we were off! We received multiple updates including pictures while we were away which really helped make us feel at ease. Tori also asked great questions about Ollie’s schedule and our expectations which made us feel more comfortable. We came home to happy puppy and a clean house! Would definitely recommend Tori for your next vacation!”
“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.”
“Christine went above and beyond taking care of Callie and Cosie! She scheduled a meet and greet a couple days prior to us leaving for a long weekend. The sister bichons took to Christine immediately which is very unusual. They are high maintenance with some house training issues. Christine met their needs like a champ! When we got home the dogs were calm and happy. I told Christine she is the “dog whisperer”!”
“I had never used Rover before and having Tala stay overnight with my kitty for several days was the best experience! It was like we had known each other for a long time - the whole process was very easy and comfortable and she sent me a photo of my older cat cuddled up on her chest - obviously I am not the only one leaving a 5-star review. Thank you, Tala!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Coates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,132 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
