“Michelle did a great job sitting for our VERY high energy Husky. He couldn't be in his crate all night, and Michelle was on top of handling that. Our dog got regular walks, and the house was in the same condition that we left it in. Also, Michelle communicated with me very well with updates while we were on vacation. I would certainly recommend her to take care of your dog!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even ferrets! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I’m also a registered nurse, so being dependable, attentive, patient, and caring comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll always treat yours like my own. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for animals! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays throughout the week, including weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting walks and playtime into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free
“We’ve used Sabrina and Daniel a bunch of times and feel so at ease with them with our dogs at this point. The dogs seem so happy with them and they provide so many pictures and great updates!”
“Katherine was great with our 2 dogs and our cat. She even got our rambunctious pups to walk on leash together, something we still struggle with. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Christine was so accommodating, we had to book last minute and we could not be more pleased. Murphy was well cared for. We are so thankful we found her and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of the family pets for as long as I can remember! Now I’m the dedicated friend and family pet sitter. I am currently in between jobs at the moment so I would love to dedicate as much time as possible taking care of your precious pets In clients home I offer endless love and patience I love going on walks and cuddling with pets if they allow haha. I have experience administering medication as well.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different breeds and personalities. I previously owned a male Boxer, and I currently have a Boston Terrier, so I understand the importance of providing dogs with attention, exercise, structure, and lots of affection. I’m a very active person who enjoys hiking and long walks, and I love having dogs join me for outdoor time and exercise. I also live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and fresh air. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. Whether your dog enjoys being active or just wants companionship and attention, I’ll make sure they have a happy and positive experience! I work from 7am-2 pm week days, but can provide drop in visits before and after my work schedule. I have availability on the weekends and afternoons in the Fall for drop in visits, and can accommodate house sitting if needed. Doggy daycare hours are 9am-3pm on the weekends. In my home…I have a wooded backyard and a quiet and safe neighborhood for walks. My dog is very friendly and would love to have a friend over for doggy daycare.
“Bri was the best person I could’ve asked for to watch my puppy!!! She was so attentive, sweet, and thoughtful. She brought Bruin a toy and made sure to send me pictures throughout the night while I was gone!! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter, and will definitely be rebooking :)”
“Kim did a great job taking care of my dog, cat, and house while I was away. She was responsible, attentive, and clearly cared for my pets as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals. I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter!”
“Jacqueline watched our two rescue dogs (ages 3 and 6) in our house for a week and did a fabulous job! She was so understanding of their behavioral quirks and kept us updated frequently. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and seeing photos of their happy faces while we were away. Thank you, Jacqueline!”
“Abagail is our go-to dog sitter for our fur baby! She’s watched him for overnights previously and she was our first contact when we needed someone to watch our dog while we were away for an extended stay on our honeymoon. Our dog is not accustomed to being alone or without us home, but we knew Abigail would treat him like her own pup. He’s always so happy to see her and she takes the best care of him! He really enjoys her company and she updates us with photos so we know he is in good hands. I’m so happy we found a trusted sitter like Abigail and would recommend her anytime!”
About: I have been a human to many dogs for the past 14 years including volunteering as a foster for three local organizations. I believe animals are a part of our family and should be treated with care and respect. I have trained puppies, cared for elderly dogs, injured dogs, and foster dogs. I have a particular skill in helping dogs get comfortable and acclimating to a new environment. I’m experienced in administering medication to pups and supporting animals who have separation anxiety. My partner and I both work from home and are available throughout the day and evening. We have two pups of our own so pet care is a part of our daily routine. I am typically up early with my puppy around 5:30AM and we begin our day with a nice morning walk. After a morning feeding, on a nice day, we sit outside and the dogs play while I work on the garden or have my morning coffee. My pups are fully integrated into my day and I divide my tasks for the day around their walk, play, and nap schedule. I seek to provide clients with what they need to ensure their comfort (the pets and their humans alike). I seek to understand your pets needs, routine, and your needs (i.e. updates, pictures, etc.) to ensure you feel secure with your pets care. I believe when I am hired to help care for your pup, we build a partnership that requires communication, understanding, and deep empathy. From caring for senior dogs to the messy puppy phase, I have had a breadth of experience in caring for pups.
“It felt so good going away and leaving our dog and cat and house in janette’s care. We booked her super last minute for Thanksgiving week and she came and did a meet and greet next day and was very sweet with our pets and sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely connect with her again for care.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every animal has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic grooming, medication reminders, and keeping pet parents updated while they’re away. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that fits their needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on my availability, and I’ll communicate clearly about scheduling. I understand pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime schedules consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a responsible pet owner myself and understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets appropriately, and provide regular updates. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own.
“We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth. Our dogs, Izzy and Stormie, were so well cared for, and we came home to happy pups and a spotless house. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs and our home. We highly recommend you and will definitely book with you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for both family members and other clients for free, providing dog walking/sitting services for dogs ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I’m a huge dog lover who is willing to do anything necessary to keep them entertained and loved, whether that’s walking them for a mile at 2 am or cuddling with them as I sleep. I truly value the connection between humans and dogs, and even those who are more unfriendly are able to warm up to me quite rapidly. I’m very flexible overall and would accommodate any client needs! As a recent college graduate, I’m currently a door dasher and searching for part-time jobs, so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of pets and commit to pet sitting or walking. I’m open to any hours of the day including overnight care if necessary. I love giving pets the freedom to have fun and explore while maintaining discipline and good behavior. I enjoy walking dogs regularly and keeping them healthy through consistent exercise, and I also love cuddling with any pet and making sure they’re never bored or lonely. I’m a firm believer that a pet should never be locked in the same room all day, so I love constant movement and attention. Another priority of mine is pet safety and security, ensuring they aren’t in a stressful environment that reduces their happiness.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,546 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cobalt. 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 Cobalt 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 Cobalt 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 Cobalt 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cobalt. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
