“Trena was amazing! She is great at sending pictures and keeping us updated. Our house looked like she had never even been here when she left. It was so nice not having to worry at all about our dog while we were on a trip. Thanks so much Trena!”
“Savannah is great- reliable, communicative, and friendly. While gone for the weekend she made sure to not only check on my two cats, but love on them and play with them too. My favorite part was the update pictures she would send, as well as feedback on how my cats were doing (eating, energy, litter activity, etc.) and having the veterinary background that Savannah does, my babies were in great hands. Consider Savannah for your booking and you won’t be disappointed!”
“Tressa is a one-of-a-kind dog sitter. As first-time Rover users, we were hesitant about leaving our dogs with a stranger. She kindly accommodated multiple meetings with our dogs before we left for vacation so our girls could become comfortable with her. She sent multiple photo and video updates daily which provided peace of mind during our entire vacation—always showing how happy our girls were. She left the house spotless and I would not hesitate to book her again!”
“I highly recommend using Megan for pet sitting. Leaving all our animals can be stressful, but I felt very comfortable knowing she was there. She sent us lots of updates and pictures which really meant a lot us. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Frenchie stayed with our two pups for a week. She was fantastic. Very responsive with her communication and attentive to our dogs. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Brittany was wonderful for our pets when we went on vacation. She sent photos every morning and afternoon. She played fetch with our pup morning and evening as well! Our cat and dog loved her and we would recommend her for pet sitting. Thanks again Brittany!”
“Val was a wonderful match for our puppy! She made sure he was well taken care of while we were away. He got lots of play time, snuggles and walks! Also, I received updates with photos and useful feedback! Moose would love to have her back!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life especially caring for my own pets. I have fostered many young puppies and am experienced in potty training, basic commands, and medical care. I worked as an intern in an animal clinic where I gained skills in critical thinking, proper handling of animals, and awareness of standards for the animal health care industry. I am currently home for the summer after completing my first year at Montana State University studying Animal Science! I am free on weekends and weekdays for whatever your pet may need! I am available to take care of your pet in the comfort of your home. I can ensure that your pets will always be safe with me! I've fostered four puppies at once and always made sure that they were being watched to ensure nothing bad happened. I crate trained my own dog when he was a puppy so I am not unfamiliar with the process! I am always happy to teach your pup a few new tricks as well!
“Matthew was great with all of our animals! We have two seniors which both required special care and medication. Matthew did such a fine job caring for them and kept us updated on everyone's condition. He was reliable and we will definitely be hiring him again!!”
“Gabby was amazing! She was very responsive, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our girl while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with many pets including an iguana, a rabbit, a fish, a cat, and a dog. I always loved going outside with all our animals and caring for them. I have dog-sat for coworkers, friends, and family, who trusted me to care for their beloved furry friends. I currently do not have a dog of my own, and so I am excited to spend time with and care for others! I have a full-time job from 8-4 and have two days off that are not always weekends. I live an active lifestyle and love walking and hiking. I would love to be able to take dogs with me as a part of this program. I also would be able to check on pets early in the morning and then after work. I truly have a flexible schedule and am willing to be flexible for yours as well. I will follow all house rules as well as training rules. I listen to all owner needs and expectations, and follow through on them. I want your dog to feel safe and also have consistency.
About: I've had pets in my family since the day I could remember both cats, dogs, and little beta fish. I love going home to visit my Mom and sister, but also to see my dogs. I love being able to feed them, take them on adventures, and simply hang out (I'll never enjoy picking up dog doo doo though). I can't have a pet due to my lifestyle and current living situation, but can definitely care for your pet while you are away. I have basic training and know how to appropriately stop bad behavior, but am willing to employ any training regimens you have your pet on. I have some puppy care experience and lots of carpet stain remover if necessary. I'm currently attending Montana State University and am in my 4th year. My credit load is super light with it being my final semester, so I find myself with lots of blocks in my schedule and availability. I work overnight on Tues, Wed, and Thur, so would prefer to not have a pet overnight those days, but am willing to negotiate. I'll care for the pet however they need me to. I understand everyone has their own way in how they want their pet cared for. In terms of diet, exercise, attention, and stimulation every pet has different needs that keep them healthy. If I'm in someones home I hope to leave it either the same or better than I found it.
“We had an excellent experience with Galina! She took care of our two dogs in our home while we were away on vacation, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She was incredibly attentive and caring, and it was clear our dogs felt comfortable and happy with her. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Galina to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“This is the third time Emma has stayed with Goose and again we came home to a clean house and tired dog. Emma is great! We’re looking forward to having her dog sit multiple more times this year.”
“Everything seemed to have gone well. Whitney met us in person before sitting for Marlin and came again the day prior to make sure she had all the information needed and to get a lay of the land. She sent photos of marlin. Although we did not set expectations prior, in the future we would like more frequent updates. We would hire her again.”
“Alysse was great with our dog and guinea pig. She took great care of both of them and obviously spent a lot of time playing with them. She took wonderful care of our home, and I would definitely recommend her for your pet/home care!! Moe loved her right away and he's usually a little more cautious.”
“Rylee took great care of our pups on a last minute trip. She was flexible with our timing and was great at communicating with us. We look forward to her watching our pups again.”
About: I grew up on a small farm with a huge variety of animals. I’ve always loved animals and have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I am familiar with animal behavior and understand how to keep your pet as well as others safe. I work full time in the evenings, but love to be outdoors and go for walks in the mornings. I’m also happy to take time during my break at work for pet care if needed. I’ll try to care for your pet the same as you! Whether this is adhering to their scheduled meal times, potty breaks, favorite toys and treats, I’m happy to care for your pet in a way that prioritizes their happiness and wellbeing. I understand how important pets are to a person or family and will absolutely put their safety first.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 432 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 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.

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.
