âSue was great with our two fur babies. I was so nervous to leave them for the first time since we moved here. Sue sent pictures everyday of my babies. She stayed overnight which was great since my dogs are older. We will definitely book with her again.â

âAbsolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her againâ

âKasie was an awesome sitter. She was able to fit me in at the last minute when another sitter cancelled due to Covid. She sent a ton of pictures and videos. And when I got home the pups were happy and the house was in perfect order.â


About: Iâve been caring for animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a registered nurse, Iâm highly attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall well-being. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience and attention. Whether itâs walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, or simply providing companionship, Iâll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know how important peace of mind is when youâre away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines while youâre away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, extended care, or overnight attention, Iâm committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to details and am experienced in recognizing changes in health or behavior. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household routines. I believe in building trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, reliability, and respect for your home. Youâll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while youâre away.
âRobbie is incredibly reliable and I swear she is a dog whisperer! Ha! No joking aside, Robbie is very intune to our elderly dog and her medications. She made several suggestions about medication administration, since it is all new to us, which has worked great!! You cannot go wrong with Robbie and her care for your animals.â

âAleisa was very friendly and professional. She sent pictures and always kept me updated. She was also flexible and watched Luna fro an extra day because my flight got cancelled. I would highly recommend her!!â

âDefinitely exceeded our expectations and made us feel at ease leaving our babies with her. Provided lots of updates with cute pictures and made sure that the cats were fed including treats along with making sure our dog received her meds at the proper times. Came back home and noticed that our place was cleaner than when we left as well. Will be booking with her again for sure.â

âKimberly was a life saver. Our regular sitter was unavailable which left us scrambling to find another sitter last minute. Kimberly was able to meet with very little notice and the dogs loved her immediately. She took great care of our Great Danes and did everything we asked. I would recommend.â


About: Iâve taken care of animals since I was about 10, Iâm 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because Iâve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and sheâs my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and Iâm a full time college student (online). Iâm pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesnât fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also donât have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service youâve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a clientâs home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and homeâs safety is never an issue.
âI was so happy Mariah could accommodate my last minute request. Mariah arrived on time and re-introduced her to Gabby (they had a meet and greet). Gabby was well taken care of and I would definitely use Mariah again.â


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelorâs degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my masterâs degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your petâs safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while youâre away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether itâs feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, Iâll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
âCory did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our dogs, cat and other animals! He was attentive to them and the dogs really loved him! So grateful for his care of our pets and home.â

âBrandi is wonderful - our dogs are a lil needy - one is high strung & constantly jumping, running & needing lots of attention & the other just had knee surgery so he has to be leash walked 4-6 times a day for rehab & potty breaks &&& both dogs take multiple meds several times a day - needless to say there is a serious chart to follow &&& Brandi never missed a beat. We feel very comfortable w Brandi in our home & caring for our beasts :-)â

About: Iâve been taking care of sweet pups for awhile. They deserve good company (& treats;) I have two mini Aussies and they are my children, so I know exactly how iâd want them to be treated while I was gone! With my own dogs I have weekly and daily routines. I do work at the hospital once a week, so on those days routine changes. We make it work!! Walks and treats are important, as well as just being their company. While they are missing you, I will do my best to keep them occupied with lots of love and fun.
About: With a lifetime of experience growing up with dogs, including a Dutch Shepard named Rita whom I taught tricks, I am comfortable with all types of animals. In fact, my dad was a dog trainer, which provided me with additional insight into proper pet care techniques. Iâm fully free after work to spend all the attention on your special friends. I will make them my priority in all my free times. Able to follow your instructions to the order.The more information you have to share the better! I want you to leave feeling safe and secure!
âWith short notice Andrea was able to help us, it was fantastic! My babies, Tucker and Elimae were well taken care of and enjoyed their time with Andrea. Will definitely have use her services againâ


About: I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs, and pet sitting for families I know, including caring for my bossesâ dogs and cat when they were away. I also grew up with a dog, so I understand how important it is to give pets love, attention, and a safe routine. Iâm comfortable helping with feeding, walks, basic care and keeping owners updated while theyâre away. I always make sure to follow each petâs normal routine and any specific instructions from the owner, because every dog has their own personality and needs. I currently work part time and remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I can help during the day and/or over night as needed I cannot bring pets home as I live in an apartment where no pets are allowed, but I can definitely go and stay at clients house as needed

FAQs for House Sitting - Douglas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 189 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Douglas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Douglas walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Douglas 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Douglas 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 Douglas. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
