“Rachel provided peace of mind while we were on vacation for over a week. She was super friendly and patient with all our animals and we will definitely use her again!”
“I could not recommend Alexis more highly. She took great care of my dog and cat while I was away and sent me daily updates and pictures. She is caring and professional and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Kaitlyn was great. The dogs were well cared for and seemed very happy and content in the pictures she sent and when we returned home. The house was clean and tidy like we left it as well. I would definitely recommend Kaitlyn and we will absolutely call on her again to stay with our sweet dogs.”
“Taylor was great with our active pup!! After a rough experience with a dog sitter leaving him 12+ hrs a day, Taylor made sure she was here and on time- everytime. We are so grateful we found someone we can trust for our boy!!”
“Jesse did an amazing job at caring for our lab. He let us know when she began having a health issue and proactively addressed it so it didn’t get out of hand. We felt confident that our pet and home would be well cared for during our vacation. Thank you Jesse!”
“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for animals, I provide reliable, loving care for pets of all kinds. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks, with a secure fenced yard and plenty of attention for every pet. As the owner of three large dogs and a cat, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My home is pet-friendly, family-oriented, and focused on making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Regular updates, photos, and personalized care come standard with every visit and stay. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying in my home, needs a drop-in visit, or is joining me for a walk, I make their care a priority and ensure they receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I work hard to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. In my home, pets enjoy a secure fenced yard, plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection while being treated like part of the family. In your home, I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention, helping them stay comfortable and happy in their familiar environment.
About: Aside from owning 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a reptile, I have worked as a kennel tech at a dog daycare for almost a year. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and conditions, ensuring comfort and ample enrichment. Also, I am studying wildlife sciences to work in wildlife education and I love all types of animals (except wasps). Before the semester starts, I am available all week! After that, I can come spend time or board on mornings and evenings on weekdays as well as all weekend. With each pet and home, I’d make sure to take the time to familiarize myself the pet(s) space and preferences. I would care for and enrich the pet(s) as if they were my own, making sure to spend quality time in ways that are more receptive to them. I’m also open to accommodating various specific requests and also care for other pets (e.g. fish, snakes, bunnies, etc). I’m more than happy to welcome pets into my house. In those cases, I’d spend time testing compatibility and comfort in my environment with my own pets and accommodate the pet(s) as necessary to ensure low stress but plenty of enrichment. I also have a spare room I could host the pet(s) in.
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, including large breeds and senior pets. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping an eye on older pets, and cleaning up accidents if they happen outside their normal potty area. I’ve also cared for multiple pets at once, looked after regular clients long-term, and handled unexpected situations when they come up. I’m happy to do overnight stays, too. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I’m totally okay with that. If your dog needs a certain routine before bed, your cat has a specific way they like to eat, or you have some funny little ritual that keeps them happy, I’ll happily follow it. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away, so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime, extra attention, or just someone to hang out with, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m also happy to help with things around the house while I’m there, like bringing in mail or taking out the trash. If something unexpected or concerning comes up, I’ll contact you right away and follow whatever instructions you’ve left for emergencies. Before a booking, I’m more than happy to meet you and your pets so you can show me their routine and I can get to know them a little. My goal is simple: keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually work around whatever your pets need. I’m happy to do mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m single with very few scheduling restrictions, so I’m able to be pretty flexible and accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when I can. My goal is to make things as easy and convenient as possible for both you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority. I’m happy to go over a clear emergency plan with you before a stay, including your preferred vet, emergency contact, and exactly what you’d like me to do if something unexpected happens. I currently don’t have any pets of my own at home. I recently lost my childhood pet, so having a companion around would honestly be something I’d really enjoy. Your pet would have my full attention and be treated like my own while they’re here. I’m also very aware of potential pet hazards, including toxic plants and unsafe household items, and I’m happy to follow any specific safety instructions or routines your pet needs.
“Ava provided house sitting for our pets and provided excellent service. She was flexible when our plans changed last minute, and took great care of our fur family members, including one sweet special needs kitty. We are so very grateful for Ava!!”
“Charlotte was wonderful! Based on her updates and photos, Winnie looked like she was having a great time! Charlotte also left a beautiful note for us as we returned home. 10/10 recommend!”
“Taryn was really sweet throughout the whole process and our two dogs seemed to respond well to her. Her photos of the dogs during her stay were endearing and showed that she formed a great relationship with them.”
“Mckayle was very attentive to our dogs! She was willing to go above and beyond, kept our house in order and took great care of our boys! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future if we need a house sitter! Thank you Mckayle for doing an amazing job!”
About: I’ve helped petsit for my friends before and love taking care of dogs, cats, and even other animals like lizards and gerbils. I have worked for a veterinary clinic and have experiences with small and large dogs and love them all. I am currently a student so I have classes every day but am free after 6PM most days of the week and 12PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have time between classes to come home and care for animals and can definitely work them into my routine. If a pet is brought into my home, I have a fenced yard and a large space indoors for them to roam around. They have access to my room and the main living space. In your home, I will ensure to take care of your pets how you prefer and to keep myself and them out of rooms they are not allowed in.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child and have had them all growing up. Professionally I have worked at a overnight dog boarding kennel for two years! I work Monday through Friday with autistic children but I’m available before and after work as well as the whole weekends to take care of your pups! I love to take care of dogs in their own home so that they will feel more safe and secure in the safety of their own space!
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and would love to help you care for your dog. I currently have an 8 year old rescue named Xander and a 4 year old rescue named Lucy. I work at Dental Sleep Medicine of Athens from 8-5 (sometimes later but only Tuesdays and Wednesdays) Monday-Thursday. I am available any other time, including all nights and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard but will happily walk/feed/play with your dog at your place. My 2 dogs stay inside with me and I walk them daily.
About: I have three years of pet care experience, including three years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility and two years as a veterinary assistant. I'm skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals needing extra attention. My veterinary background allows me to confidently handle medications, special diets, and recognize signs of illness. I’m also experienced with anxious or reactive pets and always prioritize their safety and comfort. What sets me apart is my blend of medical knowledge and compassionate, hands-on care. Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant at a rescue hospital while completing my college degree in animal bioscience, which has deepened both my practical skills and understanding of animal health. Throughout college, I’ve also fostered cats, providing them with daily care, enrichment, and medical support as needed. Before that, I spent three years working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I helped manage feeding, playtime, and behavioral monitoring. Whether through work, fostering, or my studies, caring for animals has always been a central and rewarding part of my daily life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m experienced with administering medications if needed and keeping the home tidy and secure while you're away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so your pets feel safe and happy in their familiar environment.
“Mabel was so accommodating to my senior dog. She kept me updated constantly and was even flexible when I had travel delays to accommodate extending pet sitting. I can’t thank her enough! I will definitely be booking my dogs needs with Mabel in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Commerce on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 735 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Commerce. 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 Commerce 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 Commerce 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 Commerce 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 Commerce. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
