“Hannah was great with our fur babies and they all loved her! She sent us pictures and videos throughout her stay which made us feel better about leaving them with someone new. She went above and beyond dealing with an accident with one of the pups on her first day and handled everything while we were gone. We recommend Hannah for pet sitting. She took wonderful care of our fur babies and treated our home with l respect. You can trust her with your furry family members.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals and have spent years caring for, walking, and helping rescue animals in need. Being around animals has always been something I genuinely love, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and energy level. I’m comfortable working with different temperaments and enjoy getting to know what makes each dog happy. I currently have a Border Collie of my own, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the importance of keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated. I love going on long walks, exploring new places, playing, working on training, and finding fun ways to keep dogs engaged. My goal is to make every walk and visit something your dog looks forward to! I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated just like part of my own family. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I currently have completely open availability, allowing me to be flexible and accommodate a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets. I enjoy staying active and incorporating walks, playtime, exercise, and enrichment into a dog’s day. I can accommodate different energy levels and routines, whether that means long walks and adventures or a slower pace for older dogs. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I maintain a consistent routine with my own dog, which includes long walks, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. I love incorporating activities that keep dogs both physically active and mentally engaged, whether that’s exploring new places, practicing training, playing, or simply enjoying some outdoor time. When caring for someone else’s pets, I treat them just like my own. I make sure they are well-fed, exercised, comfortable, safe, and given plenty of affection and attention. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to adjust my approach to fit their specific needs, whether they enjoy long adventures or prefer a slower, more relaxed day. My biggest goal is to make sure every dog feels loved, cared for, and happy while their family is away!
About: My name is Luke, I am a CATCH Canine Trainer Academy certified dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement to encourage and maintain behaviors. I have always had a passion for working with dogs but after losing one of my rescues to cancer only 2 months after saving her my passion grew. This had inspired me to help owners and their dogs learn and grow together. I am a Co owner of a food truck which we are only operating part time. On the opposite days I have open availability to help support you and your current fur baby. I am unable to offer boarding for animals at this time. I am certified in pet cpr and first aid through ProPetHero by Pro Trainings

“Sierra was great! I've never used someone from Rover to stay overnight and was nervous but I felt comfortable with Sierra from our very first message. She had a great energy during our meet and greet and I knew my pup and cat were going to be just fine. She was very responsive during her stay and sent frequent updates with videos/pics. They absolutely loved her and I couldnt be more happy that we met. Will definitely use her again for our next trip! ?”

The average cost of House Sitting in Cowan is $69 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $69 and $69 per night.

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.
