“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Chas was an incredible sitter for our antisocial, grumpy older dog. She immediately put us at ease with her calm, confident manner and clearly knew how to effectively interact with and handle dogs. She did bring her dog along, which worried me at first, but he was extremely well trained and after watching her introduce them, I felt confident that she knew how to handle them both. She left the house perfectly clean, followed our instructions, and sent updates on our dog throughout her stay. Overall, we feel very lucky to have found someone we trust with our picky dog and will absolutely use her again in the future!”
About: I've done in-home pet sitting for the past 10 years for friends and family. I think it is so much easier on you and your fur baby to stay in their own environment while you are away. I have volunteered at McCamey Animal Shelter working with both cats and dogs. I am reliable, responsible and aprovide attentive care. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you'll alway know how your furry family members are doing. I'm availble for short term visits or extended stays. I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pets individual needs. I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. All in your pets familiar surroundings, which helps reduces stress and keeps their routine as consistent as possible. I take great pride in caring for my clients’ homes and leaving them as I found them. I deeply respect your privacy and never snoop through personal rooms, belongings, or containers. If I need to find something that isn’t easily accessible, I’ll always ask first. I also respect boundaries around appliances, dishes, electronics, and anything else you prefer I not use. I’m quiet, responsible, and not a party person. I don’t drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs, and I never invite guests into a client’s home. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I would want to find it when returning home.
About: I am an experienced animal owner and previous vet assistant. I have three dogs and two cats, and have experience with exotic and small/caged animals as well. I have worked with many types of special needs animals (aggressive, multiple medications, assisted walking, etc) so I am comfortable around ALL cat and dog types! I would love to just stop by or stay for extended visits. I am in the East Brainerd area but definitely willing to travel when needed. I run everyday with my dogs and could with yours too. Although, I would love to sit and watch some Netflix with your couch potato puppies too! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about stays or arrangements- I have flexible hours and availability at this time and would love to hear from you! Pet care is my life! I love animals and am willing to work hard for your fur family so you can rest easy while you are away. I am willing to clean after myself and your animals while you are away, just leave details, also happy to take care of small chores, like putting the garbage out and getting the mail.
About: I've been trusted to care for dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles starting around the age of 8. I have gone on to care for many special needs animals, and have no problem following any instructions to ensure the best care. I'm currently working part-time, and can easily accommodate most schedules. I am looking to make this more of a full time gig, and get away from delivery apps. Currently, I am unable to host pets in my residence but would have no problem follow any instruction or detail in a client's home. I am here for you!
“Madelyn was great with both of our dogs. We have 2 German shepherds 100lbs+ and we have a road behind our house with no fence. She had no problems with them. Left our house spotless, washed and folded all the bedding that she slept on as well. We have used rover multiple times and she has by far been the best house/dog sitter that we have used. We highly recommend using her. We will definitely be using her the future!”
About: Your dog’s comfort and joy come first. I bring years of experience and a genuine love for pups to make every visit fun, safe, and worry free!

I follow routines, rules, provide food, water, supervision, and lots of play time. In your home I respect your space while giving updates to build trust.
“Kaitlynn was wonderful! She stayed with my pup for a weekend that I had to be out of town. She was very professional and easy to get in touch with. She stayed in touch with me throughout the weekend and sent picture updates! My pup absolutely loved her and had a fantastic weekend. You won’t be disappointed if you work with Kaitlynn!”
“Laurie was fantastic! We have never had anyone but family watch our dogs so we were hesitant. We have 3 dogs- 2 are extremely active. Laurie came to meet them a few days before and we went through their routine. She arrived promptly on her scheduled day and sent pictures per request. The dogs were very happy! I highly recommend Laurie!”

“Megan was wonderful. Such a blessing to have someone so sweet to take care of your fur baby. Megan sent pictures through out the day of our pup. It was so nice to see him happy. Would recommend her to anyone. Definitely going to use her again.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs since my early teenage years. I have had my own puppy for around 5 years, and I have potty trained her, taught her several tricks, walk, fed, and bathe her. She is my little ball of joy. I have dog sat for several family and friends and done several overnight stays with dogs. I also have two cats who I ADORE and I love being a cat mom! I am a huge pet lover and I love to fill my free time looking after dogs and cats! I work full time but love to book Rover in my schedule in the evenings and weekends because I simply love being around animals! When in my client's home, I will provide your dog and cats with much attention, walks, and treats. If dogs go outside, I will make sure to put them on a leash and keep a great watch over them as they roam around. If they need to be in a crate after I leave, I will make sure to securely put them in the crate. I won't leave the dog alone and will create trust and bond with your dog.

“Destiny was fantastic for dog sitting. She communicated extremely well both before and during the stay. Before committing, she asked for Calliope’s schedule, which was really thoughtful, to ensure she was available to meet high-energy Calliope’s daily routine for walks and feeding. She shared her own schedule in advance and kept everything consistent. While she was sitting, she sent regular picture updates so I always knew that Calliope was happy. Destiny was reliable, thoughtful, and even left my place cleaner than when she arrived. We can all tell when our pups are happy. Most importantly, Calliope looks forward to Destiny’s care again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Brainerd
Toni did a fantastic job caring for my two little dogs while I was away! She absolutely went above and beyond. She kept in touch and sent great pictures. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I will use Toni again-she is hands down the best dog sitter to ever have taken care of my pups. I’m so grateful for her care and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter!
Molly was so amazing for our anxious rescue dog. She was very responsive and sent many updates and photos while we were away, which we really appreciated! During the meet and great she really took the time to ask questions and get to know Cato and learn about his routines and personality. He was in great hands and we’d recommend and use her again for future house sitting!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in East Brainerd is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $108 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 East Brainerd 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 East Brainerd 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 East Brainerd 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Brainerd. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
