“Bob is a total best friend and second Dad to Dolly my yellow lab. I completely trust Bob dog sitting for Dolly in my home. He is wonderfully caring to Dolly and she adores him!”
“Katherine was fantastic with our three needy, overly affectionate and quirky golden retrievers. We missed our dogs terribly but with the photos and videos she sent we could clearly tell they were getting all the love and attention they thrive upon. It was overwhelmingly evident upon our return home by how relaxed and content they were. We’re so happy we found Katherine!”
About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, and Colorado. In the new year, I will be back in Virginia and then onto New Mexico. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. I have a son who lives in Boulder, CO and a daughter who live in Lafayette, CO. My son has a new puppy who I have sat for on numerous occasions, and my daughter has three kitties that I have also sat for as well. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand. Your furry family members are just that, and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. My schedule: Micanopy, FL (4/14-6/14); Lakewood Ranch, FL (6/23-8/1); Green Valley, AZ (8/5-9/4); Albuquerque, NM (8/8-8/21)...more to post later. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.
“Catori & Licia were very well taken care by Mary. We came home to happy "Girls." She kept us informed daily. Sent great pictures, which helped with our missing them!!! Enjoyed our stay immensely knowing they were in good care. Mary is dependable & pays attention to detail. Our home was tidy and clean upon our arrival. Thank You Mary!”
“Clara was absolutely amazing! Our very shy dog warmed up to her much more quickly than he has other new folks. Our house was cleaner when we returned than it was when we left! Clara communicated with us a few times per day and sent photos. She even brought her own treats for our babies. Will 100% use her again!”
“Averi sat at our home with BooBoo for 4 full days. She did a great job with communication from beginning to end. I would consider using Averi again when the need arises. She left flowers and photographs of her adventures with my Boo”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, large, extra large and mini dogs. Love them all. I work especially good with high energy dogs that love walks. I currently work at a doggie daycare. But I am home more than half of the day to focus on your dogs needs. Free for entire weekend to focus entirely on the dogs. Large Fenced yard with trees and shade. Water hose and doggie pool for dogs who enjoy water when staying at my place. Highly experienced in dog body language and behavior.
“Jessalynn worked miracles with our grumpy Dobby! He calm and quiet presence led to quick acceptance. She even had to deal with meds and did so very successfully. Communication was excellent and we appreciated the pictures and videos. We will definitely be calling her again!”
“Jackie was on time and was a very nice lady. She was very thoughtful of Annie and my surgery she even offered to go to the store for me. She sent pics to me of Annie. I would definitely recommend Jackie to anyone. 😊”
“Amber/Ash was fantastic with my cats. She connected with them easily, kept their schedule, and was respectful and kind with all of us. They were clearly content and yet happy to see me when I returned. She was flexible when I decided to return a day earlier than planned and was responsive on the app when texting her. I'd have her back anytime!”
“Laura H. helped take care of Tito for 3 days, and we are very happy with her service. Tito was very happy when we returned home, which gave us great peace of mind. Laura was reliable, caring, and took excellent care of him. We highly recommend her and would gladly use her services again.”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of Stitch and Blu! She was a great communicator and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend Lauren and would be happy to have her take care of Stitch and Blu again! 🐾💕”
About: I have been trusted to take car of dogs and cats. I watched my neighbors dogs a lot and would cat sit for many friends and family. I have a very flexible schedule I am in school but it is all online so I would be available to watch and take car of your pets whenever! I provide reliable, attentive care by following each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I keep pets safe and comfortable while communicating with owners and respecting their home.
“Jasmine was wondeful!! Our animals love her and had a great time while we were away. Jasmine was great about communicating with us while we were gone, and the house was just how we left it. I highly recommend Jasmine!”

Robert took such great care of our corgi Zola while we were out of town. He took great care to make sure she was comfortable and on her normal routine. He is very communicative and sent us pictures every day to update us on how everything was going, which we really appreciate. Zola is very happy, too! Our home was also left in such good condition. We look forward to booking with Robert again in the future and absolutely recommend.
Katherine was fantastic with our three needy, overly affectionate and quirky golden retrievers. We missed our dogs terribly but with the photos and videos she sent we could clearly tell they were getting all the love and attention they thrive upon. It was overwhelmingly evident upon our return home by how relaxed and content they were. We’re so happy we found Katherine!
This was my 13 year old Jack Russell Terrier's first time staying with a sitter for 4 nights. Kristen had a calming presence when she met Bella . Bella was immediately comfortable and friendly with her. Bella has some special needs that Kristen felt very comfortable handling, so all went well while I was away. I will definitely book with Kristen again when I have to be away from home, knowing my dog will be in good hands and well-cared for while Im gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Continental on Rover is $76.25 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 949 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Continental. 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 Continental 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 Continental 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 Continental 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.
