“Bob is such a reliable, trustworthy, and awesome sitter for our fur babies. I don’t trust many people with my dog/cat but I trust him without hesitation and know they are safe while I am out of town. He goes above and beyond keeping our house clean and respecting our space. Thank you again, Bob!!!”
“Xavier was fantastic. Not only with our dogs but with flexibility. He went over and above to work with our shifting schedule while I was out of town and work with my partner on timeframes. One of our dogs can sometimes be socially anxious and aggressive and within 5 minutes of being here Xavier would have him calmed. We look forward to booking Xavier 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”
“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!”
“My kitties adored having Annette here. She clearly loved them up - Clyde followed her everywhere! She tended to my home as if it were her own and enjoyed the pool - as anyone staying here should:-) I would have her back again anytime.”
“Madison was absolutely wonderful!! She has watched our pack of 4 dogs and 2 cats twice now and we felt safe each time knowing our animals were in great care. She even got our very nervous dog to warm up to her and snuggle her! I highly recommend Madison for any pet sitting, we will be using her again in the future for sure!”
“Amy was kind, respectful and the perfect choice for our 2 big dogs! Amy did a great job getting walks in with confidence and providing updates along the way. We were lucky to have Amy help!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions from pet parents and want every animal to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to give pets dedicated attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent care while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep a close eye on them, provide a calm and comfortable environment, and communicate with you about how they’re doing. I want pet parents to feel confident that their pets are being treated like family while they’re away
“Thomas was incredible with our 2 dogs. He conducted a meet/greet prior to our departure. Both dogs immediately loved him. He is an actual trainer, which also greatly benefited us. I could not believe how much our dogs learned in just 5 days. Thomas was amazing with communication and check-ins. He went above and beyond with brushing the undercoat of our shepherd and even taking out trash when he noted that neighbors had their cans out [not at all expected]. It was so nice to return to a clean home and happy/well cared for and happy dogs! I absolutely would 1000 % recommend his services!”
About: Providing expert, high-level care for pets with complex needs. Whether your companion is senior, disabled, exotic, requires daily medication, or needs cautious handling for behavioral traits, I offer safe, knowledgeable, and dedicated care. A pet fits smoothly into my weekly schedule. Although I work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, I wake up early for morning routines and am fully free after 5:00 PM for evening care. My job is extremely flexible if an animal ever needs mid-day attention. Weekends are ideal, as I have full availability to provide attentive care all day and night. When pets enter an unfamiliar setting, I give them a quiet room to adjust at their own pace, maintaining their normal routine with periodic check-ins until they feel safe. In their home, I stick strictly to their schedule and give them space to relax. Every animal is different, so whether a pet is cuddly or standoffish, I respect their boundaries and offer love on their terms while keeping you updated on feeding, outside time, and behavior.
“What can I say about Bentley other than she was very punctual while taking exceptional care of my animals. She is a great communicator with pictures sent everyday. She really eased my mind about leaving my animal for a week. I would recommend her and use her again.”
About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it's high-energy playtime for puppies, gentle companionship for seniors, or help with basic training and routines, I strive to make every pet feel safe and comfortable. I’ve cared for pets with special dietary needs, anxiety, and mobility issues, and I always prioritize their well-being and happiness. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet like family 💝 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I truly enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority every day. Whether it's early morning walks, playtime throughout the day, or winding down with cuddles in the evening, I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, love, and care. I’m flexible and reliable, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and maintain their routine as closely as possible. I have my own human babies and fur babies at home, so caring for them in your home would be best. It will also be good for your pet too, since that is what they’re familiar with! Bringing them to a new place with so many new animals and humans can be very scary and overwhelming.

“Gigi was wonderful! Excellent communication throughout the entire process and she was so sweet and patient with our slightly neurotic, high-energy little guy. We will definitely be reaching out to Gigi again in the future!”
“Kelly was the best per sitter we have had! She offered daily pics and communication about our pup! She came by to meet him before to make sure they got along and to learn his routine. She took amazing care of our house and pup! She even washed the sheets and towels she used which was above ans beyond! We highly recommend Kelly!”
“I had the pleasure of booking Adonis. He changed my perspective, I primarily booked women to sit for me, thinking they would be a better fit. Adonis has been the BEST sitter I’ve had to date! Very respectful. He cleaned up, & took great care of all three of my babies. This was my first time being away from my 4 month old Toy Schnauzer and I felt very comfortable. I didn’t worry one bit! He sent photos and kept me updated if he left them. He went above and beyond! I would love to keep him as their sitter! If I could give him 10 ⭐️ I would!”
About: I am rancher with a PhD in chemistry that loves the outdoors. Taking care of your pets while you are away is my favorite pastime. I am a chemist at the Biosphere 2, my weekends and week schedule is very flexible and I am always happy to accommodate your schedule. I am trained to give vaccines and any medications and will also keep notes of feeding and walking activities throughout the pet's stay with me as their care giver.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Continental
My wife and I had the great fortune to hire Hannah to take care of 4 animals in our home. Hannah was a Pleasure to work with. She was responsive to us and took great care of 3 aging animals and a holy terror of a 3 year old. Everyone was healthy and happy. We couldn’t have been more pleased. We hope to hire Hannah in the future. She is very experienced and happy to accommodate.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Continental is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $65 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
