“We booked Sarah last minute, like the day before our trip! She was quick to come over to meet us and our two beagle boys and learn their daily routine and needs. She was gracious to not only dog sit but house sit for 6 nights, and 7 days. We even added an extra night last minute. Sarah took great care of our boys, and communicated by sending us messages and pictures daily. She even vacuumed the floors and washed their blankets during the week. The house was just as clean when we arrived home as it was the day we left. I recommend Sarah for anyone’s pet sitting needs. Thank you again Sarah for the peace of mind of knowing our babies were well taken care while we were away.”
“Hailey gave our little toy poodle excellent care! Honey warmed up to Hailey very quickly. Hailey followed all my instructions. I appreciated how she kept in touch with me about Honey and how she was doing. I would definitely have Hailey watch our pet again!”
“Holli was great with our pup, Leo! She has great communication and is very caring. We did not have any worries while we were away for the weekend and felt confident that Leo was in good hands!”
About: Thanks so much for stopping by our page! ~ We’re a family of animal lovers who truly enjoy caring for pets. Visiting zoos and animal sanctuaries is one of our favorite things to do, and at home we have a pyredoodle and a bearded dragon. ~ This account was originally created when our son was 8 years old, and over the years it has grown into something he truly loves. Now at 15, he is the primary caregiver during stays. Pet sitting has been an incredible way for him to build responsibility, and he genuinely gets excited every time he has a booking. He has several consistent repeat clients and treats every dog like family—just like he does his “brother,” our pyredoodle. ~ Of course, my husband and I are always present and supervising to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. All communication and arrangements will go through me, and all earnings go directly to our son. ~ As we aren't on Rover to generate an income our profile may be different from other sitters.Please review the below to ensure we are the right fit for you and your fur baby. ~ Please review the details below to see if we’re a good fit for you and your pup: • We only host one dog at a time so your pet receives our full attention and care • If you have two dogs and one is very laid-back, feel free to message me—we may be able to accommodate • We do not use kennels unless requested • For puppies or dogs not yet potty trained, please provide diapers (with tail holes) ~ MEET & GREETS *Not required if your dog is friendly with other animals, as we only host one guest at a time. ~ For safety, we don’t share our home address until a booking is confirmed through Rover. This is just a precaution we follow, and Rover provides our address in the confirmation email once the booking is complete. For unconfirmed visits, we’re more than happy to meet at a nearby dog park first so everyone can meet and make sure it’s a great fit! ~ About our dog: Our pyredoodle (born November 2020) lives inside with us. He is playful, gentle, but he's not always interested in other dogs. He isn't aggressive. He'sa big jealous baby and just ignores them completely. He is also very submissive—so if your pup is more dominant, just keep in mind he may try to climb into my lap for safety (he’s a big guy 😊). ~ What to bring: Please send your pup with their leash, food, food bowl, and any comfort items. That said, many visiting pups prefer using our dog’s bowls, which is perfectly fine too! ~ Updates: I typically send daily updates with photos in the evening. For longer stays, updates may be every other day—but I’m happy to adjust based on your preferences. ~ At the end of the day, if you’re looking for a home where your dog will be treated like part of the family—with lots of attention, care, and love—we may be the perfect fit. We’d love to meet your pup! 😊 I work remotely and can easily accommodate most routines. My son goes to an online school and is here to play as soon as he finishes school in the morning. Our yard is fenced in with a vinyl fence. It's almost 1/2 acre. We do let our pup out by himself. If your pup digs under fences or is a Houdini that can climb over a 6ft please let us know. We let your pup stay in the house and roam the same as we do our pup. Also, we do not allow our dog on the furniture. He knows to stay off, but don't make a big deal out of it if your pup is more comfortable while they're with us.
About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets! I am responsible and responsive! I currently have a full time job Monday-Thursday, so I am looking for pet care work Friday-Sunday! There is an option to provide morning walks every day of the week. I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.
“LeeAna was the absolute best! She is so informative about animal care, and took such good care of my doggo and kitty while I was out of town. She sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch you animal babies!!”
About: Animals will always have a special place in my heart I love taking care of them no matter what they are big or small forever I have a dog of my own and he’s the best dog ever I love my dog with my whole life no matter what forever Leash and keeping an eye on my dog and love and treats and attention and food at the right times and no bad food also
“Lance was awesome. He watched and took care of our 3 Pomeranians as though they were his. He sent us morning and evening photos with updates. He did everything as we asked. I was not worried at all the whole time we were away. That was nice!! I know we have finally found someone to trust with our kiddos. DO NOT HESITATE TO GO WITH LANCE S............HE IS AN AWESOME GENTLEMEN”
“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”
“Christie was fantastic! Biscuit does not like for us to leave her but she was actually good when we got home. Many times she has barked at us because she is mad that we were gone. She was glad to see us but not upset. Christie was very responsive by text and offered to send pictures while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!”
“Natalie communicated well, took great care of Kong, and left the house tidy. She reached out ahead of time about a couple of things she needed to accommodate her work schedule and about whether visitors were allowed, which I appreciated. She was patient with my detailed instructions for my stubborn but sweet senior dog. I’d recommend Natalie!”
About: I have been around dogs since the day I was born, and my family has always had at least two dogs in our family at all times! I have also always been a trusted source when it comes to watching family, friends, and neighbors' animals! For example, I have watched puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, and even guinea pigs. Two of my own dogs are Leader Dogs for the blind moms, so I have experience with all different kinds of situations and ages when it comes to dogs. I also have experience with elder dogs as I have had 4 dogs pass from old age and have experience with health problems in dogs as well. I currently do not have a job so I am available any day at any time. I do have a prior commitment from July 23rd-27th and I leave for college at the end of August. I have a ton of experience when it comes to safety and caring for pets. My dogs go outside with a leash on, especially during walks. If there is a fence for the pets to use I will keep my eyes on them at all times, because no one ever knows what can happen. I have experience with putting pets into a crate or cage if necessary.
“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Our animals were happy and healthy when we got home! House looked great, and we didn't worry the whole weekend. Dominick is great, and we'll definitely book him again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Collamer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 256 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Collamer. 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 Collamer 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 Collamer 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 Collamer 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Collamer. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
