“We are very grateful to Bryce and Nate for caring for our Stella! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter (aside from friends and family) and we were pleased with how well things worked out. Both Bryce and Nate are very friendly and Stella warmed up to them right away. From the get go the communication was great, and we felt confident that she was being well cared for. We will definitely ask them to help out again!”
About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old student at Southern Oregon University with a huge love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and enjoy spending time outdoors, especially when it involves caring for dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to help keep your dog happy, safe, and active! 🐾 My school schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable pet care! I am able to provide pet care at any day or time of day. I have a safe and comfortable home with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.
“Athena was a wonderful sitter for our dog Hilo. She was patient, caring and responsible. She's a great communicator, kind and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone. She's a trustworthy person who is dependable. We felt right at home having her in our home and are grateful for her.”
“Julie has been walking my dog for a few weeks and she is great, very professional, punctual and my dog seems to have fun with her. She also watched my dog while I was away and did a great job!”
“Zack was the perfect dog & house sitter for us - he spent tons of time with our dog (and sent us plenty of photos), kept our wood burning stove going to keep the house warm, and even stacked wood for us when a delivery showed up while we were out of town. Webster was excited to see us, but I think he would have been fine if it was Zack walking back in the house instead!”
About: Hi, My name is Christie. I have been an avid animal lover ever since I was a toddler. My family had our share of pets from dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, doves, and even a snake (although I will admit I that he was my brother's and I respectfully chose not to interact with him like I did all the others). On top of that, my grandparents were farmers with chickens, pigs, cats and dogs and I loved being with them all. Animals bring so much joy into our lives and I honestly think they have much to teach us. As an adult, I have loved my own and she was the love of my life. I have been pet/house sitting for 25+ years. I first started caring for friends pets, but at a certain point, the word got out and I was being referred to other pet sitting gigs. Many of those lead to new friendships of which I’m very grateful. I have loved each and every experience. My love of animals is one that dogs can usually sense right away and I'm proud to be an auntie of many wonderful pets. I enjoy taking dogs for walks in the woods or to the park to play fetch (or even soccer… That was my girl's favorite!) While staying at your home, I make sure they are fed and well cared for, with plenty of belly rubs and snuggles on the couch (if they are allowed). I have pet sit for cats, fish, and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've stayed at peoples homes for as little as 2 nights and up to 6 weeks. And, at times, I've welcomed some into my home. I’ve watched up to 4 dogs at a time (ranging from puppy to senior) and two cats. Those circumstances usually call for specific needs of which was different for each, but no matter the different food and meds and potty break reqs, being in there own home was no different than normal and all worked out smoothly. I have walked siblings separately and together, some on lead and some not... whatever the pup is used to and the owner specifies has always worked! ;) All of our outings are fun whether we go out to play catch, splash in the rivers, hike on the trails or simply take in all the smells and sights throughout the neighborhood and local parks. I'm currently taking time off of work to work on some personal projects so my availability is somewhat flexible. I will traveling throughout the NW, SE while also spending time here in Boise. Im open to sits locally, as well as around the nation. As an avid animal lover, it is a complete joy to love on your “love bugs" and simply BE with them in the comfort of their own home. I also welcome certain size/breeds into my own home for shorter stays. When I pet sit, I send photos of your pet’s smile and or activities that we share. And, I'm happy to look after and water any plants or garden areas. Otherwise, I am a responsible 56 year old woman who appreciates clean spaces. You can rest assured that I’d care for your pets and your home like my own.
“Cats got plenty of attention and companionship as far as we could tell. Good communication and photos sent to us during her stay. We were a disappointed to find both water bowls were almost empty, one had dead flies in it, and the litter box had not been scooped for what looked like a number of days when we got home. These were things we had asked her to do daily.”
“Sarah's care for our dog and our house was nothing short of amazing! First, we were very nervous dog parents, having a rescue dog that had been quite timid of people, we didn't know how well a pet/house sitter would work out. But from the start, our pup liked Sarah. Sarah provided us daily updates and photos to ease our minds during our two week absence. It was abundantly clear that our dog was getting stellar care. Walk time, play time, brushing time, cuddling time. And we might add, our dog was looking for Sarah after we returned home. We also picked up some good ideas from Sarah on dog behavior. If that wasn't enough, our home was cared for beautifully. We are so happy we found Sarah, and very grateful for the care she provided! Sarah is very professional, responsive, and loving. We look forward to hiring her again.”
“Atlas was great with our animals! Our Dog and Cat were both very well cared for. Atlas was a great communicator and sent us updates every day while we were gone, will definitely be utilizing her services again next time we are gone 😊”
“I couldn’t have asked for better person to watch our girl, Chutney. Sandra is kind and conscientious. Our muppet received lots of love, cuddles, belly rubs and playtime during our absence. The house was immaculate upon our return and Sandra went beyond expectation when an unexpected plumbing issue required attention Communication was excellent.”
About: Dogs have been in my life ever since I can remember. I speak their language, and they speak mine. While growing up as an only child, I connected with my dogs as if they were siblings. By nature I'm a very compassionate, caring, and a responsible person. You can rest assured that your precious ones will be loved and nurtured while in my care! I'm an artist and an art instructor. I'm home most of the time, and currently have no pets. I miss having a dog in my life, yet have not gotten over my last fur baby. She lived to 16yrs old, and she was the best! I have a happy home that welcomes pets. I love to take walks, and with a doggie by my side it makes the walk so much better! There are no other pets or children so I can give your fur baby all my attention! My home is clean and quiet. I make sure it is dog proof so they can roam. I have a small unfenced yard, and am in a great walkable neighborhood
“We are very happy Madison agreed to watch our fur army in our home. Her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated on how they were doing and when we arrived back home, our house was very neat and tidy and our fur babies looked like they had a great weekend! We highly recommend Madison and we hope she will be available for the next time we have to go away!”
“We never have to worry about our little furry son when Neil comes to visit. Apollo LOVES him, and Neil understands dogs so well! He’s a great house/dog sitter! I hope he never quits doing this!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 193 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cole. 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 Cole 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 Cole 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 Cole 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.
