“Karlysse helped us out last minute over the holidays and took amazing care of our two dogs. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy pups. We would absolutely hire her again!”


“5 Stars – Hands down the BEST dog sitter we've ever had! Carissa is an absolute gem! From our very first meet-and-greet, she was incredibly thorough—asking every important question and answering all of ours with patience and clarity. We instantly felt at ease leaving our 9-year-old Apollo in her care. She was always extremely responsive, easy to reach, and wonderfully accommodating to both Apollo's needs and ours (including bringing in mail and packages). Our home was left spotless and tidy. The daily updates were a highlight—multiple photos and messages each day showing Apollo happily running in the yard, playing indoors, getting tons of cuddles, and smiling with his chompers lol. Seeing how content and loved he was allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our family vacation without a single worry! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled and rescheduled (leaving us stuck in airports for an extra 30 hours), Carissa immediately and graciously agreed to stay an additional night. Knowing Apollo was in such capable, caring hands made a stressful travel day, much easier. Carissa's professionalism, genuine love for dogs, and thoughtful attention to detail made our trip better than we could have hoped. We've never felt more comfortable or at peace leaving our senior pup with anyone else. She is now our first and only choice for future sittings! Thank you, Carissa—you're phenomenal! ♥️”

“Excellent communication and very respectful! Our dogs seemed to love her and we felt comfortable being away while she cared for our pups. We appreciated the pictures and updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend Reygan to care for your pups. Thank you, Reygan!”


“So grateful for Rebecca- She is very attentive, kind, clean, and professional. She took all the stress out of being away from our little pack and home.Went above and beyond in all aspects -Highly recommend!”

“Danielle is wonderful! It was so nice being able to enjoy my weekend away knowing my dogs are loved and cared for. One of my dogs is shy and took to her almost immediately! So glad to have found her, highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. 🐶🐱 I’m caring, responsible, and love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! ❤️ I'm currently not working. Your pet will be my priority, and I allow many potty breaks for dogs and litter box cleaning for cats. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I love animals and safety is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in backyard and I live in a neighborhood at my house. I care for pets by making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, and lots of attention. I also follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my home or their owner’s home.
“I thought I knew what a 5 star pet sitter was like, but Makayla has set a new standard! Our 2 cats and 2 dogs were WELL taken care of. One of our pitties can have door aggression, but after a meet and greet we found a way for Makayla to safely come and go while we were away. By the end of the trip, the anxious pittie was Makayla’s shadow. We got daily updates and pictures. Makayla knows how to take care of anxious pets AND their anxious pet-parents. We will absolutely be scheduling our next vacation around Makayla’s availability.”

“Brittany is THE BEST sitter ever. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that all the animals are not just cared for, but adored. Every time we have had her she's gone the extra mile doing little things like cleaning a cage, giving them an extra brushing, doing an extra walk, whatever it takes to give the animals the best experience. They all love her and we do too. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Milo was great! I will have him back again. He is good at daily communication and sending photos. When I got home my dog acted like I was never gone which is good because she has separation anxiety. I know she got a lot of love and attention from Milo.”


“Elle was so kind and attentive and took such great care of our pup Allie. We’re so glad we found Elle and highly recommend her! We’ll be booking her again and know our sweet dog will be well taken care of.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and I am glad it was with Kati!!! Kati was great with our Bennie Jet! She was sure to keep us updated consistently. Would 10/10 recommend anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”

Would you like it more formal, more friendly, or customized to your business style? Explain pet sitter routine adherence Pet sitter routine adherence means following a pet’s established daily schedule exactly as the owner outlines so the animal experiences consistency, comfort, and stability while their family is away. It’s one of the core pillars of professional pet care because pets rely heavily on predictable patterns to feel safe. Here’s a clear, professional explanation you can use in your policies, website, or client materials: 🐾 What “Routine Adherence” Means in Professional Pet Sitting ⭐ Following the Owner’s Instructions Precisely A professional sitter sticks to the pet’s normal schedule — feeding times, walk durations, medication windows, play preferences, crate routines, and bedtime habits. This reduces stress and keeps the pet’s internal rhythm stable. ⭐ Maintaining Familiar Patterns Pets thrive on predictability. Routine adherence ensures: Meals happen at the same time Walks follow familiar routes Litter boxes are cleaned on the usual schedule Treats and enrichment match the owner’s guidelines Sleep and rest periods stay consistent ⭐ Respecting Behavioral Needs Some pets require structure to feel secure — especially seniors, anxious animals, or pets with medical conditions. Routine adherence helps prevent behavioral issues like pacing, whining, or refusal to eat. ⭐ Supporting Health & Safety Sticking to the routine ensures medications are given on time, dietary restrictions are followed, and physical activity is appropriate for the pet’s age and condition. ⭐ Providing Stability During Owner Absence When everything else changes — the environment, the person caring for them — the routine becomes the anchor. Adhering to it helps pets feel calm, confident, and cared for. Want me to write this as a polished section for your Safety & Environment Policy, Welcome Packet, or Website?

About: I am a 24 year old woman seeking to support myself by pursuing my passion for caring for animals. Growing up, I naturally took care of many pets and enjoyed ensuring their happiness and well-being. I have previously worked with clients on an informal basis, handling pet care as favors or small jobs, so I have some experience in the field.

Please give me the opportunity to care for your pet and I promise they will be safe and well looked after! 💖✨ - - - Services I offer: • House sitting (My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.) • Dog walking (30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day.) • Drop-ins (30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away.)

About: I've grown up with Collie's, cats, ducks, squirrels, hamsters and many other critters. I have a loving spirit for animals. Some times I think they are more thoughtful than people. I'm just hoping to find some good hearted animals to take care of...My mother was an avid rescuer of animals and I got involved through the years and would love to provide someone's dog with the same love and attention that I would like my own animals to receive. I have experience with all types of animals and I'm willing to come to your home and give your animals the same love and attention I give my own animal. I am a little leary of pits and rottweilers so keep that in mind when choosing me to care for your dogs.
“I'm truly thankful to have met and hired Yushonda. I have watched over 100 dogs, and I mean it when I say she is a step above everyone else. Mara is dog aggressive and dismissive of people and very slow to build trust. Yushonda would not settle for good enough or merely being present in the house. She strived and worked hard to build that trust, working with Mara, making her presence known, and building trust at Mara's pace. I was shocked to hear Mara got comfortable enough to jump right in bed on the first night. I had expected at the end of the stay for our dog to maybe allow pets, instead she made a great new friend by the first day and asked for belly rubs, something she only does for 3 people. Yushonda instilled trust not only in Mara but also us. Without her, we would have not been able to have gone on our trip and been able to see family, relax, and be at ease. Send Yushonda a message, you and your fur baby will not regret it or think about hiring someone else. I am so happy to know we have someone that will care about our baby as much as we do. I'm so thankful to finally have someone I can whole heartedly recommend, with full confidence, to watch my client's pets and know she will live up to that recommendation and always go above and beyond.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Cohoctah on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026.

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 Cohoctah 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 Cohoctah 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 Cohoctah 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.
