“Briona was excellent with my two cats and dog, making sure they were comfortable and loved. She also took great care of my place while I was gone. It’s nice to know I have someone I can trust while I’m away and I finally get to enjoy some holiday time.”
“Shannon always does such a great job watching our pups when we are out of town. We feel so safe with her in our home, taking care of them. She is our go-to gal!”
“Yareisy was great!! She house sat my two cats for a long weekend and I would definitely book her again. She made sure to take pictures of everything, including cleaned litter boxes, tons of photos of my cats, and where she left the key at the end of the trip. I highly suggest booking her, your fur babies will be well taken care of!😊😊”
“Shannon was fantastic and so caring with our golden retriever. She was easy to communicate with and provided regular updates and pictures while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Shannon care for our dog again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! Friends and family have always said that I’m an animal whisperer. Since I can remember, I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and family pets. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years spend a majority of my time with animals! I am a recent college graduate and am exploring this new phase of my life. If you leave your pets in my care, I can assure you they will receive constant love and attention! I am a recent college grad looking to dive head first into my pet sitting business! My schedule is currently wide open as I also search for my first post-grad career! I have a lot of experience working with pets and can deal with practically any temperament! I feel comfortable learning your dogs daily routine and staying in your home, as long as you are!
“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 :)”
“Diana stayed at our house with our 4 month old puppy for the weekend. She was so attentive and caring and was wonderful with our puppy who is still learning to be house trained and learning not to chew on shoes. I would definitely recommend Diana as a reliable, friendly, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: For five years during grad school, I took care of friends pets (including cats, small dogs, and big dogs) for days and up to weeks while they were away. I have a full time job Monday-Friday, but I love animals! I can’t have a pet of my own at the moment, but I would love to take care of yours on the weekends or weekday evenings. My priority is to make your pet feel safe. I find keeping them in their home environment or maintaining their usual routine is often helpful. I am open to in house visits as well as bringing them into my home.
“Avery was great! She listened and asked questions throughout the meet & greet and our animals naturally gravitated towards her. She was communicative during the stay and made sure they had a ton of outside time!”
“Ariana and her daughter were amazing house/dog sitters for our 12 year old Puggle, Finn. Finn took to them immediately which instantly eased my mind. It was obvious that they were true animal people. Ariana provided excellent communication/updates throughout our weekend away, and the house was left immaculate upon our return. If you want stress-free, trustworthy care for your pets, I would highly recommend Ariana.”
“Michelle was so kind and caring to my two dogs. She kept me updated with pictures and videos during her stay. We can't wait to have her stay with Bruiser & Ellie again!!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,539 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
