“Matthew did an exceptional job with our three trouble makers! He went above and beyond taking care of our girls and our home. I would trust him to watch my girls again and I’m sure they would look forward to him taking care of them next time we are away!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I have three large dogs of my own, and my family breeds dogs, so I have experience caring for entire litters of puppies. I understand how much patience, attention, and care puppies need as they grow. I’m comfortable around large dogs and love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away! I recently switched to PRN at the hospital, which gives me more flexibility with my schedule. I’m starting nursing school in January, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend my free time doing something I love while earning extra income. I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a part of my daily life. I’m able to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for them and their pets, and I look forward to giving every pet plenty of love, attention, and care while their owners are away! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, and playtime to keep their pet's routine as normal as possible. Since I have three large dogs of my own and experience helping my family care for litters of puppies, I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe space. I also love sending updates and pictures so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are being well cared for!
“Rocio has been so amazing! Rocio was absolutely incredible with my dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Rocio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Sydney was fantastic with our Dunkin. She was willing to work with us on his “stranger danger” so we felt confident leaving him in her care. She is exceptionally responsive and kept us updated with cute pics of how relaxed he was with her. House was in great shape when we got home and his evening treat was already prepped. We could not have asked for better care and will definitely book again for future trips!”
“Karissa took very good care of our dogs while we were away. Our dogs are like our kids and Karissa went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and given proper care. Highly recommend her to take care of your loved ones.”
About: When I was 10, I kept my tamagotchi Dalmatian alive for 2 months. If for some reason that doesn't impress you...buckle up and read on. Most of the sitter profiles on Rover claim their "Pet Care Experience" and "love for animals" began in childhood. They will use every animal interaction they've had in the past 25 years as “Pet Care Experience.” Um...no. Let's break this down. 1. You feeding Cheetos to the family of feral cats living in that field next to your Elementary School. Might have earned you a scouting badge. However, it doesn't count towards your "experience." 2. Loving animals as a kid is not something unique. Nor does it equate having "experience." Is anyone here shocked by the news that a child loves animals?? No, of course not. Ever asked a child what their favorite animal is? Only to have the answer be, "None. I hate all animals. Animals are the worst." Nope you haven't. (If you have, that child is most likely going to be a serial killer or work at a slaughter house. Proceed with caution.) Alright.. moving right along... here's a little about me: From birth to now I've had a wide range of animals. The list is long but it ends at most birds. I don’t do most birds. Well Ducks? yes. Sparrows, parrots, albatross? No, no thanks. I did have peacocks growing up and my dad owned an Ostrich farm for several years.. which is super weird. Let's move on...Don’t really do cats in my home either. For multiple reasons. Bird & cat pets aside. Im pro-pet. Hip hip!! Sidebar*** (we have a bearded dragon and a Greek Tortoise. If you have a reptile or small animal that need to be boarded or dropped in on. we would be happy to help you with that.) Like any normal pet owner, I enjoy keeping my animals alive and healthy. Not once have I tried to starve my animals or neglect them in such a way that would render them a spot on the sad commercial with the “Arms of the Angel” song playing in the background. Those owners are the worst. Lucky for you...I am not the worst! Sarcasm aside…I’ll treat your pets like I would want someone to treat my pets. I’ll accommodate their/your needs and give you peace of mind as you vacation or do time in prison. (No judgements) If your animal has medical issues, a drug or alcohol addiction, gang affiliation, is running from the law or needs special care. I got it. If I don’t got it… I’ll Google it. Chat GPT is amazing! Duh! Unless your Pekinese needs a kidney transplant or your doodle wants a face lift. I should be able to keep them happy! I walk my dogs every day, if your pet wants to join us, great. If not, great. Sleep on the bed or sleep on the floor? Again don’t care. Im good with both. Last and certainly not least… There is 1 thing I will not do. I refuse to call your dog a fur baby or any other lame name like that. Why? Because it's weird and stupid. I cringe & immediately check out of a conversation when someone starts talking about “furbabies.” I just can’t. Plus your pet doesn’t like it either. They just put up with it because you feed them. I’m a stay at home mom. While my kid is at school and I do normal homemaker things. We have some after school activities & events but for the most part we will be around. These questions….I’ll make sure to put away all of my broken glass pieces and lock the door to the room where I keep all the poisons and explosives… whatever. My house is safe, I have a yard, real safe. If you have special requests just tell me and I’ll do what you ask me to do…unless it’s weird or gross.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
“Samira is just amazing! My fur babies just love her, they even cried when she left. I did not have time to do my dishes before I left and when I came home they were all washed!”
“Faith Lynn stayed a second night with a pup. She is charming and reliable! Really helped us out during our visit to Paso Robles. Thanks to her, we were able to visit several evening activities that were not dog friendly. Highly trustworthy and would very much recommend her. Our dog, Penny loved her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 654 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Courtney. 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 Courtney 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 Courtney 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 Courtney 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
