“I cannot say enough good things about Heather. She really made us feel at ease with leaving our fur kids in her care. Tucker & Bella immediately took to her. Tucker and Bella and our 4 cats ( yes 4 ) lol , mean they world to me and my husband and we wanted someone who felt like family to care for them. I can 100 percent say that both me and my husband and our crew felt like she was family. Very caring, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We are just so pleased and happy. We would without hesitation recommend Heather to watch your fur kids. She even takes pics and updates us. Great person and we will continue to have Heather watch our “kids”. And they loved her as much as we did. Felt so comfortable and at ease leaving them with her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

About: I grew up around animals and worked as a vet tech for 6 years. I know every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, medication, special feeding instructions, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m comfortable providing personalized care. My veterinary experience also allows me to recognize changes in behavior or health and communicate concerns appropriately. Most importantly, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. Since I’m currently not working, I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for pets during both the week and weekends. I can provide consistent daily care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping their routines on track. I’m also available for additional needs, such as pet sitting and spending extra time with them throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and their usual daily routine. I provide plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and fresh water while keeping their space clean and tidy. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel comfortable and at ease.
“Cristel was absolutely amazing to have house sit and care for our cats - she left our house in better condition than we left it! Can’t thank her enough for being an incredible sitter and taking such great care of our cats and our home.”
“Catarah sit my Yorkie puppy (at my house for 4 days). She was attentive and communicated throughout the whole time. She was so kind and arrived on time. I left out of state and she was always sending updates of my dog. She treated my dog well and provided my dog attention. I will 100% rebook! I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping both pets and their owners. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to caring for animals.

You can count on me to treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home and live right in town. This gives me great flexibility in my day to meet your needs as well as a close travel distance. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by the owner.

FAQs for House Sitting - Delano
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Delano. 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 Delano 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 Delano 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 Delano 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.
