I was nervous using a new person from Rover after moving here and losing my old dog sitter. Jessica did great. She kept in touch with me as I am a crazy dog owner who has a boujee princess cockapoo whom I love like my child. Sent me a lot of pics too. Marlee loves her immediately. Will use again ?

Barb exceeded every expectation. She was polite, professional, and communicative. I had no concerns that our pet was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her without hesitation.

So happy with Elizabeth. My dogs were very well taken care of and we’ll definitely set up another appointment. She sent pictures and we felt very comfortable leaving for an overnight. Definitely recommend.

Jessica was beyond wonderful with our dogs. She clearly is an animal lover and she treated ours like they were her own. Her communication was absolutely top notch with so many pictures and updates! I can’t recommend her enough!

About: I have grown up with family dogs and currently have 2 that live in my house. I am more than comfortable performing any sort of dog care! I work as an electrician during the day so I am available any time outside of 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. If the dog can make it through the work day, I am the perfect fit! I am happy to accommodate any sort of service for your dog. Just give me the details upon booking and I will ensure your animals are cared for!

About: (**175/day cash) I have always been very good with animals. Sensing their energy allows me to handle their attitude in different situations, enabling me to care for them in the best ways possible. I love to play in their favorite ways and could brush or pet them all day. I would strive to make your pet happy:) Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets knowing I am an avid animal lover, and I am relatively confident in saying most animals love me! Whatever makes your pet happiest is what I would enjoy doing, because bringing animals joy is my favorite things to do. My availability is flexible currently so if you’re interested shoot me a message! My every day schedule is build around caring for our animals. I wake up and the first thing I do is feed mouse (our cat). Then I bring the ducks (blueberry, broccolini, Beansprout, bubbles) out to forage. Throughout the day I play with mouse as she expresses a need for it and the ducks are allowed to forage as long as they behave. Mouse then gets dinner around 4 and that’s around when the ducks go in for the night, sometimes let out later for an evening roam before bed. I keep Metal’s (bearded dragon) food and water bowl full and he gets weekly showers, he has become less energetic with age so he has less interest in roaming outside his tank than in his youth. I talk to them like they’re children, as many pet parents do. They recognize some words I use regularly, mouse (our cat) has learned “sit” for when she’s begging for food. The ducks (blueberry, broccolini, Beansprout, bubbles) know “very good” as positive reinforcement for good behaviors. They also know wow and stretch as admiration for their regular preening and, well, stretching!

Amazing with our Alaskan Malamute who tends to have separation anxiety and is very needy/snuggly. She gave her lots of attention and pretty sure our malamute had a better “vacation” than us away from our 2yr old and with all attention on her! Our outdoor cat was also treated wonderfully as well. Highly recommend Olivia.

About: Namaste, my name is Julianna! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets as they were my own. I've had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember, I've grown up with cats and dogs in my household since I was a child!! I have 4 years of professional animal care as well, which I obtained working at an animal boarding and daycare facility! I have my own Lab/Boxer mix named Theodore, he loves to play fetch, go on hikes, and go for car rides💓 I look forward to meeting you and your pet!! I currently work a full-time job and am studying to become a Yoga Teacher! I can easily fit in dog walking and drop-in visits (for both dogs and cats) each day. As for dog sitting I prefer to have notice in advance as it's a bit more difficult working it into my work schedule. When dog sitting I follow the rules and guidelines for the Animal and home given to me by the clients. I complete my care for the pet and spend ample amount of time with them before leaving. For overnight sitting I leave the clients home as they left it. This means cleaning any dishes, countertop, taking care of trash, etc.

About: I've had pets my whole life but since I moved out on my own I've had dogs, cats, a rabbit and a tarantula. I love them all and know they all have their own personalities and needs. I tailor my approach to care according to their unique personality ❤️ I work during the week, but remotely so I can be flexible outside of my meetings. I am usually available after 5 p.m. during the week and most weekends. I will play with/run around in the yard (if you have one) and walk dogs. With cats, I take their lead but understand they need stimulation and exercise for their overall health, so I will play with and pet them as they like.

About: Hi fellow dog lovers, my name is Rocky, a 25 yo male college undergrad that just moved here to buffalo. I’m originally from New Orleans Louisana. I come from a home of two shih-tzu dogs, (Popsicle and Levi), which I had to leave behind with my mom and sister. I enjoyed walking, feeding, stimulating, and just being all around loved by my two best friends. And I am looking to explore the same opportunities with your beloved pet. I promise to give the upmost care and attention that your pet deserves. Pick me as your personal rover walker or sitter, and let the worries go. You will come home to a relaxed, well excercised, and already gone for a potty, loving dog. That is my promise.

About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, what’s not to love? They’re playful, goofy, are always there for you, and they don’t judge you. At least not verbally. I mainly work in film but am currently in between jobs at the moment. You can entrust me to care for your fur baby everyday of the week! I have a knack for following detailed instructions to ensure that you’re never worried about your adopted pet children. You can always rest assured that they’re in good hands!

Kori was a fantastic dog sitter. Our dogs were standoffish at first, but she was very patient and won them over. She took great care of both our dogs and our home, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel confident they were in good hands. Next time we go on vacation, we’ll definitely be reaching out to her first!

Communication excellent. Nikki was also very accommodating when we had travel issues returning home. We would use her services again, for sure!

FAQs for House Sitting - Collins Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Collins Center. 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 Collins Center 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 Collins Center 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 Collins Center 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 Collins Center. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 85% 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.
