Paige was wonderful! Our dogs were loved on and spoiled. She was great at communicating and sending photos and I could see how happy the pups were. One of my pups was even missing her when we got back!

Absolutely amazing couple who kept us updated and informed along with lots of pictures! We have a dog that takes seizure pills every 12 hours and another dog that takes liquid medication every 6 hours. I felt relaxed on my trip the whole time knowing Andrew and Sydney were on top of it along with lots of loving on the pups. I was impressed that in a matter of hours our extremely shy pup had warmed up to them instead of hiding all day. Highly recommend this team duo to take great care of your furry family! We plan on using their services again in the near future!

Kyle was wonderful with my two dogs. Bella requires two insulin shots, a day and Kyle kept her schedule, and administered the meds with ease. He also kept my very active doodle engaged. Would definitely book with him again, without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Tiffany enough. This was the first time I had left my three dogs overnight since a major life change, so trusting someone with them was a really big deal for me. From the moment Tiffany met them, I could tell they were comfortable with her—even Angel, who is normally very cautious with new people, immediately trusted her. Tiffany was wonderful about communicating with me throughout the stay and sent pictures and updates that let me actually relax knowing my dogs were happy and safe. She followed their routines, gave them plenty of outside time and attention, and treated them like they were her own. They clearly adored her—Hera slept under the covers at her feet, while Buddy and Angel competed for space by her pillow. She also went above and beyond in little ways I never expected. When one of the dogs marked on a blanket, she went to wash it, discovered I had accidentally left laundry in the washer, rewashed everything, started it in the dryer, and even washed their food dishes. Most importantly, I came home to three happy, relaxed dogs who had obviously been loved and well cared for. Finding someone I genuinely trust with my dogs means more to me than I can explain, and Tiffany absolutely earned that trust. I have already arranged future care with her and would recommend her without hesitation.

Katie was amazing! She took such good care of Mac and was super responsive to me the whole time. I ended up having to stay out of town one night longer than originally planned too and she was able to help out and stay one more night. So sweet and kind. Will absolutely hire her again.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have owned my dog since he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage. I’ve also helped train both my own dog and dogs for neighbors, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in both my home and yours. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to create a safe and trusting environment.

About: Although I don't have a dog of my own, pets have always been a part of my life! My childhood best friend has two golden retrievers, so growing up we spent countless hours taking them out for playtime and keeping them occupied. My sister adopted an adorable golden doodle two summers ago, and our house is like his second home because of how often he loves to visit. Any of my friends can count on me asking "Where's the dog?" whenever I come over, because I just gravitate to having a furry friend by my side! I specialize in discovering all of your pets' silly quirks that make them unique and working with them from there. I also specialize in working with hyper-active pets, being able to expend their energy in a healthy way and calm them down. I adapt well between large and small animals, handling them each with the proper care/delicacy they need. I have a lot of free time to fill this summer, so my general availability will always be open. I am mainly open to Doggy Day Care, House Sitting, and Dog Walking, but am also interested in Boarding! My daily availability is the most open in the mornings and afternoons, so if you leave home early for a job or a trip I'll be right here to step in. Weekends are also free to Board! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your dog to get out their zoomies! There are also two parks in walking distance from my house, so I have plenty of access to the outdoors. My sister has a mini golden doodle who visits all the time, so I can always set up play dates to give your pet a furry friend. I can administer any medication your dog has need of if I have instructions, and will send as many updates as needed so you know they're in good hands! Relaxation time is always great to have, but I will make sure your pet has a good variation of activities so they are never bored. If I am aware of any triggers your pets has, I will provide a safe environment, whether in your home or mine, so I can always keep them stress-free.

Maria was excellent!! She is very respectful and responsive to messages and requests. She took wonderful care of our babies and pampered them with play and love. This was the first time we had ever left them and Maria made sure we had pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be asking her to take care of them again 🥰

Kate did a wonderful job taking care of my pup while I was away on business. Having an older dog requires extra feeding instructions, along with medications, and it all went smoothly. Definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter sometime soon!

Olivia took great care of our three dogs and an axolotl. She stayed at our house and was a very considerate guest leaving the house clean upon her departure. She was very easy to work with. I can’t be more happier with my decision to hire her to watch after our dogs. I highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cowan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 251 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cowan. 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 Cowan 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 Cowan 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 Cowan 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cowan. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
