“Suzanne went above and beyond in every aspect of her stay with Lou and Lobo, walking them often, communicating clearly and sending updates. I was confident they were her primary focus and work during her stay. We would be grateful to book with her again. I rarely leave my dogs when I travel and appreciate the excellent, conscientious in home care Sarah provided Lou and Lobo.”
“Morgan gave us and our dog exactly what we needed in order to leave on our first trip away. We became dog owners about 4 months ago to a sometimes skittish 1 year old pup, and we decided for our first extended absence that having a house sitter who could take care of our dog in his home environment would be best. Morgan came and met Moxie ahead of time with a drop in visit, and then stayed for two weeks at our house while we were away. She understood Moxie's needs and general behaviors right away, was able to quickly coax him into a new routine within the first few days of our absence, and had him happily wearing himself out on long walks and backyard play time for the rest of our trip. We received daily updates and were able to discuss any questions or concerns we had along the way, and Morgan also pitched in on general home care while we were gone, bringing in mail and watering plants. It was a huge relief having a competent caregiver and clear communicator looking after our dog while we were away and allowed us to focus on family vacation knowing Moxie was in good hands. Thanks very much, Morgan!”
“Krista- Is the best. She took care of our dog while we experienced travel woes. She took care of our house & our dog & that made our stressful travel a little less bad knowing that part was taking care of. She really is the best!!!!!!!”
About: ’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide overnight care for their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need structure and play, as well as senior dogs who need patience and gentle attention. I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their well-being. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I’m happy to accommodate specific care instructions to keep your pet on their normal routine. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have a small, very friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets and helps create a welcoming environment. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone’s safety. I maintain a clean, pet friendly home and can provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 92 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Comet. 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 Comet 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 Comet 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 Comet 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
