“This was our first time using a house sitter for our pets and it was a wonderful experience! Deanne provided daily updates and it was comforting knowing our pets were well taken care of in their own home. Highly recommend and will definitely use Deanne again in the future.”
“Jack took care of our puppy, while we were out of town overnight. His communication was very articulated and he was very prompt when arriving He was kind, thoughtful and very responsible. He updated us with pictures of our puppy during his stay. When we arrived home all was good. He even wash her doggy bowls. And during one of our communications, he was thoughtful to ask if I wanted him to make the bed, or strip the sheets in the bedroom he was staying in. I hired Jack in a heartbeat again.”
About: I've had my own rescue pup for 8 years, he is my pride and Joy. I have always loved animals and nothing makes me happier than being around them, Happy dog happy life! Your pets well-being is my top priority. Whatever your furry friend may need I can happily accommodate. I assisted at an in home boarding business for 4 years. I worked with all different breeds, ages, health conditions, and personalities! I also cared for Labrador pups from birth to when they were ready for the perfect home. I volunteered at Valley of the kings working mainly with the hundreds of rescue cats. I've also worked with farm animals and a few exotic animals at the sanctuary. I currently have a very open schedule, most days and most times work. Early morning can be arranged as well as late night, of course everything in-between. I am always very patient and loving with animals. I'll take the time to bond with your furry friend to establish trust and make sure the care is the best possible for them.
About: I've had dogs since I was little. Love pets. I go for walks daily so a furry friends to assist me in these walks in ideal! Growing up we had two dogs since puppies and rescued an older dog! I am a teacher during the year so I am available all summer! Morning, afternoons, evenings! Weekend can get busier, but I am a flexible go with the flow person! Letting dogs out, watching them in the yard, leasing them up, taking them on walks, making sure they are fed and hydrated, occasional treats, all up my alley.
About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.
About: e grown up with dogs my whole life and consider them part of the family. I love being around dogs and have experience house-sitting, walking, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and individual needs, and I always make sure dogs feel safe, cared for, and loved while in my care. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I have a golden retriever puppy, and since I grew up with dogs, caring for him feels very natural to me. Every day starts and ends with walks, and throughout the week I make sure he gets plenty of exercise and socialization by taking him to the dog park regularly. At home, we spend a lot of time playing tug-of-war or fetch to keep him active and engaged. Because he has a sensitive stomach, I also prepare fresh homemade meals for him twice a day, so meal prep is built into my routine as well. One of my favorite parts of the day is winding down in the evening by cuddling up with my pup and reading a good book. Overall, caring for him is woven into both my daily schedule and the way I like to relax and spend my time. I am going back to school in the fall and do not currently work so my schedule is extremely flexible to take care of your pups :) I provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment for pets in both my home and my client’s home. In my home, pets have access to a secure fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a friendly golden retriever puppy who enjoys being around other dogs, but I can easily separate him if a pet prefers their own space or needs a calmer environment. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs with sensitive stomachs, so I’m comfortable preparing fresh meals, following dietary restrictions, and administering basic care as needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their familiar routine and environment. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of companionship, while also treating the home respectfully and keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!”

I want to offer comfort to my clients in knowing that I will take great care of your animals and give them all my love! Since I was born I’ve had a dog in the house. I currently have my own furbabies! One dog and two cats that I absolutely adore. We are a rescue family! I have experience with puppies as young as 3 months. I’d love to chat with you about your furbabies! Lastly, I am able to take payments in cash, venmo, or through the app. I am a nurse and I work Monday-Friday. I’d love to help you out after work starting at 4:30pm! Please reach out with any questions! I am happy to hear what your needs will be and I will make sure that I am the right person to care for your pets. I am able to take your pets on walks, play with them, feed them, and administer oral medications and injections.
“Allison was amazing!! She provided daily updates and photos of my pets and took great care of my house while I was away! I would recommend her to anyone and trust her to watch my pets again!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Declan communicated and sent photos throughout his stay, and we felt comfortable that the pups were well cared for!”
“Terri took great care of my Dixie and sent me daily updates with pictures which was very helpful! Would definitely recommend, she is loving and treated my sweet puppy like her own.”
“We were so pleased with Emily. She spent 4 nights 5 days with our fur babies. She sent pictures and messaged us daily. We trusted her fully in our home. If we ever need her again and she is available we will definitely have her. She was definitely a blessing. ❤️”
About: I have a dog of my own, so I truly treat every pet like my own fur baby. I charge $20 an hour for any service. Hi! My name is Yahayra, and I’m a Special Education Teacher who loves animals. This summer, I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. From July 6–17, I will be teaching summer school and am available after 12:00 PM on weekdays. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I am available after 4:30 PM. Outside of those two weeks, I have open availability and can be flexible to meet your pet care needs.

I'll always respect your home as if it were my own. My place is too small to host pets, but I'm more than happy to take care of your babies at your home or stop by for visits!

I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs

FAQs for House Sitting - Como
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Como on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 755 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Como. 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 Como 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 Como 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 Como 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.

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.
