“Jessica was great! She accepted our booking last minute and still made time to do a meet and greet prior to watching our dog. She was very communicative and prompt! Would definitely book her again!”
“Adrienne watched Quincy for us over the weekend, and she did a wonderful job! She provided thoughtful updates every morning and evening, which I really appreciated. As a dog parent, it’s so reassuring to know how both your dog and sitter are doing while you’re away. During one of their walks, she also handled an unexpected situation with our neighbor, who wasn’t fully aware of their surroundings, and safely guided Quincy through it. I really appreciated her attentiveness and care. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Quincy this weekend! We’ll see you in October! 🐾”
“Gloria stayed with our gigantic pup for a week. She clearly loves animals and Malachi loved her. I could see how relaxed and happy he was. It was such a relief to know Malachi was so well cared for! Would not hesitate to ask Gloria to watch him again.”
“Ken is awesome. He watched our pup (Wally) for 3 days and in that time, we got lots of pictures and updates. We feel so thankful that Wally can stay comfortable and taken care of at home while we're away.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. For the past 11 months, I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job has taught me how to safely handle group play, recognize canine body language, administer basic care, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾
“Rosie is the Best sitter. You would be lucky to have her watch your animals. She stayed at my house for a week and walked my two Pitbulls every day gave them lots of exercise and took care of our cats and other critters. She sent us updates, and our house was in great condition when we got back I felt very comfortable leaving the animals with her and I could tell that they were all happy when I got back. She came by to meet the gang ahead of time and then came by again to pick up the key and go over everything again with me before I went out of town. I will definitely use Rosie anytime I go out of town or need a walker.”
“She was fabulous!!! Went above and beyond in her care for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. They fell in love with her, and gave us great comfort knowing they were not only well cared for in our absence, but given a great deal of love!”
“Hannah was wonderful! Our boy can be a little particular and she handled everything with such calm and understanding. She was communicative and extremely flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.
About: Hi, I'm Hannie! 🐾❤️ I'm a proud pet mom to three furry babies—a 7-year-old pug and two cats, ages 7 and 9! I love traveling, and as a pet owner myself, I know exactly how it feels to leave your babies behind. Even when you're enjoying your vacation, there's always that little worry in the back of your mind: Are they happy? Are they getting enough attention? Are they being loved and cared for? That's exactly why I decided to become a sitter! I want to give other pet parents the same peace of mind I'd want for myself. I've loved animals since I was a little kid, and luckily, they seem to love me right back! ❤️ I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether it's going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply hanging out together. I always try to put their needs first. I also understand that every pet has their own personality. Some want nonstop cuddles, while others prefer a little personal space. I respect their boundaries and let them feel comfortable at their own pace. I previously had a wonderful Golden Retriever who crossed the rainbow bridge at 9 years old. 🌈 She gave me years of love and wonderful memories, along with valuable experience caring for larger dogs. I've also volunteered at a nonprofit senior pet home, helping care for older dogs and cats and supporting their adoption into loving homes. That experience taught me how much patience, understanding, and gentle attention senior pets deserve. My pug and two cats are friendly, relaxed, and enjoy meeting new furry friends! To me, pets aren't just animals—they're family. And I promise to treat your babies with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐶🐱💕 I currently are mostly home doing part time jobs so I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your furry babies! 🐾 As a pet mom to two cats and a pug, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My daily routine includes feeding, walks, playtime in my yard, if request dog park is an option, cuddles, and making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I love spending time with animals, so taking care of additional furry friends fits naturally into my day! I'm happy to accommodate your pet's usual routine and give them the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. ❤️. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾❤️ A Cozy, Pet-Friendly Home 🏡 I work remotely, so I'm home throughout most of the day and can give your furry babies plenty of attention, companionship, and care! My home is pet-friendly, with lots of cozy spots to relax. Pets are welcome to cuddle with me on the sofa, enjoy playtime, or simply hang out by my side. I also have a fully fenced backyard (only if the owners give me permission) where they can enjoy fresh air, outdoor playtime, and potty breaks with supervision. I share my home with a friendly pug and two easygoing cats who enjoy meeting new friends! I always take introductions slowly and carefully, respecting each pet's personality, comfort level, and need for personal space. Personalized Care & Safety 🐶🐱 I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your baby is energetic and playful, shy and independent, or a senior who prefers a peaceful environment, I'll do my best to make them feel right at home. I carefully follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, potty breaks, and daily routines. I'm also happy to provide a quiet space whenever your pet needs some alone time. Care in Your Home ❤️ When visiting your home, I'll respect your space and maintain your pet's familiar routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and litter box care. And of course, I'll send plenty of adorable photos and updates! 📸 As a pet parent myself, I know how much those little updates mean when you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they're on a little vacation of their own—safe, relaxed, spoiled with love, and treated like family! 🐾💕
About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 7 years old. Dogs mostly, but also cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and fish. Now I am a mature, reliable professional who loves pets as much as ever, but unfortunately my living situation is not ideal to have my own right now. I look forward to connecting with folks who need an assist in caring for their animals and loving them as if they were my own. My schedule is somewhat flexible with plenty of early morning and afternoon availability, as well as evenings opening up at 9 or 10 pm. This is true 7 days a week with 2 rotating days off each week. I typically have one 3-day weekend available each month. My place is not conducive to have your pets stay. But I am happy to come to you, whether for a walk, a feeding, playtime, some combination of all of the above. I also welcome the opportunity to stay over in your home if the need arises and trust has been established.
“Victoria was an amazing sitter for my dog Felix. Felix can be a bit shy but he warmed up her quickly. She sent me photos and updates every day, which I appreciated so much. I trusted her completely with my pup and my house and I’d highly recommend her for any pet needs!”
“Danielle did such an amazing job watching our two dogs! She was responsive, sent photos of them during her stay, and ensured they were well cared for while my husband and I were away. We will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future!”
About: I’ve been a cat lover my entire life and have grown up with cats in my home for as long as I can remember. I have many years of experience caring for cats and always make sure they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve. Being around cats from such a young age taught me how to understand their needs and make them feel safe and comfortable. I also regularly volunteer with a local humane society, where I help care for cats at my local PetSmart. Caring for cats is something I genuinely love, and I would be happy to give your cat the same love and attention I give my own:) I am available everyday for check in visits. On Monday, I have class from 1pm-5pm, Wednesday I have class from 1pm-9pm, and on the weekend I’m flexible and can do longer visits. As for the rest of the week ( Tuesday, Th, Fr) I work from 8:30-5 so visits would be after 5pm or before 8am. I provide a safe, comfortable, environment where cats feel at home. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection. I maintain their usual routines to help them feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I be sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and cuddles. I will also send daily updates so you know your pet is in loving hands.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with over 8 years of professional animal-care experience. I’ve spent 4½ years at Banfield Pet Hospital and 4 years at All Dogs Club, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs who need medications or extra attention. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines, providing positive reinforcement, and giving each dog the individual care they need. As a dog mom to 3 dogs myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my availability around my work schedule. I currently work Sunday from 3–11 PM and Monday–Tuesday from 2–11 PM, which leaves me available during the mornings and early afternoons on those days. I also have greater flexibility Wednesday through Saturday. With my veterinary background, I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable building pet care into my routine. I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency they need while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of love and attention. As a CVT, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different ages, personalities, and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home.
“Steph is excellent, she took such good care of Mac and showed him so much attention. Even with the crazy instructions we left she paid careful attention to detail. Communication was great as well! Mac's looking forward to seeing her again!”
“Conor was great. Our dog and cat took to him quickly and we really appreciated the pictures and updates. He also took great care of our house while he was there. We'll happily have him back the next time we need someone to watch our pets.”
About: I have taken care of my own dog since I was young, and since her passing I have routinely dogsit for friends and family. My childhood right-paw-man was a Beagle mix, and so I love to handle hounds who sniff first & think later (as well as distract them with Pupperoni…). I took care of her in her old age, so I have some experience in dropping medicine on the floor and pretending it’s a delectable morsel so dogs devour it! I also have handled plenty of bark-happy dogs, and like to bring treats on all my walks to incentivize more calmer adventures. I am currently in a partly asynchronous grad school program, and I’d love to spend my very flexible time taking healthy (and frequent) breaks from studying to care for your pet! I’m excited to adapt to fur-parents’ homes and needs! I’m comfortable crating pets, supervising outdoor time in fenced yards, and being attentive to your pets’ body language while inside their home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Comus
Chrystan was a joy to work. We felt completely secure and comfortable with her housesitting Stella over the wkd. Stella immediately bonded with her and it was very evident from the photos that Stella very much enjoyed the visit. Chrystan deserves five stars and we hope to work with her again in the future.
Christyn took such wonderful care of our two dogs. She sent multiple pictures over the week, the dogs were clearly very happy. We have always had only family watch our pets and were apprehensive of someone new, Christyn immediately showed us we made the right decision in hiring her. Thank you

FAQs for House Sitting - Comus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 8,401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Comus. 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 Comus 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 Comus 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 Comus 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Comus. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
