About: I have owned dogs and cats all of my life. They definitely play an important part of my existance. I live in an area that has lots of room for a dog to get exercise. I spend much of my time outside with my pets near my side. It is important to me that any pet I am taking care of knows that they are very special to me. Your pet will become as fond of me as they are of their owners. I have spent times watching dogs and cats in their homes. I make sure that they are not missing their masters by spending extra time playing and walking them during my visits, whether it is a day visit or weekend visit. I just love our fur pals. I only work part time. My husband is home until 1:00 p.m. and I generally work only until 2:00 p.m. But that is only from May until October. Your dog will have someone around 90% of the day. I have a large yard. It is not fenced in but I keep my visiting pets on a leash at all times. They will be close by to me at all times.
“Lauren is so great! Our dogs love her so much! She sends photos of our dogs and is very responsive to chats. She is very tidy and always leaves the house neat. Highly recommend Lauren!”
“Bonnie is excellent! She has excellent communication skills. She loves on your fur baby. Goes above and beyond. Would highly recommend. She has stayed with us before and we were extremely happy.”
“Caitlin was amazing! She responded quickly to my request and came over to meet our Gus and come up with a plan. She was infinitely patient with our skittish boy. We decided to do in home visits and she sent daily updates while we were gone. She even went above and beyond, shoveling our snow and getting the mail. She is definitely our number one choice for next time!”
“Gabby was great. She hung out with my three dogs and two cats for several hours. They had only met her one time prior, so I wasn’t sure how they were going to respond. They were all cuddling in no time. I had total peace of mind while Gabby was here. She’s trustworthy and she kept me up-to-date with photos! It took me a long time to pull the trigger with Rover, I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Thank you Gabby!”
About: Other than my own dogs (2 huskies and a Rottweiler/Shepard mix) I have cared for several dogs and cats for years. I have done drop in walks for two dogs and overnight cat sitting. I also worked at a dog kennel when I was a teenager, though that was many moons ago I know your pet will get the very best care on my watch! I had a cleaning company before Covid but have always been in love with dogs and cats. I have two older children who don’t need me as much and can’t wait to start this journey into pet care. I am available Mon, Tues, We’d, Friday and every other Thursday all day for your pet care needs. Having 2 huskies I know the importance of making sure your pet is secure whether that’s in your yard or on a walk. Also making sure there’s nothing left out for them to get into when I leave your home!

“Peyton watched our 3 Bassett hounds for us at our campground while we were vacationing in Ponchatoula. She was so patient with them. Our Dixie who is a real handful warmed up to her right away. I'm thankful for Peyton I couldn't stand the thought of them being in a kennel. Will definitely recommend to anyone”
About: Hi Everyone! My expierence with and genuine care for animals has been apart of my whole life. This year I will have been working for a doggy daycare and boarding facility for two years, along with caring for my family dog for many years before that. I have my own feline friend “Chicken Noodle” though he prefers just Noodle. I currently work part time for a doggy daycare facility that opens early mornings and close by 7. I do school online so I have more than enough time to play and take care of your fur babies! I have expierence with both dogs and cats, and understand some require different needs based on nature, background, and personality of the animal. Whether it’s talking quietly to a skiddish cat or playing with a crazy lab I got ya covered!
“Jordan was AMAZING! Due to some schedule changes and incoming winter storms, I actually needed to leave several days earlier, and Jordan happily accommodated my request. She took wonderful care of my boys, keeping me updated with pics, videos, and details about them while I was gone. She got them toys for Christmas, and even did some "enrichment activities" with them! Due to weather conditions, I was a day later on my return than planned, which was no problem for her, as we had discussed the possibility when I left. I came home to a VERY clean house and happy boys! Everything was sparkling clean, vacuumed, etc. She even refilled my hummingbird feeders! I cannot recommend Jordan highly enough! I would happily have her watch my boys again if she's available, and I know my boys would LOVE to spend more time with her!”
“Mason always takes great care of my home and Joely. Joely is usually anxious when first seeing Mason but quickly warms up. I am always comfortable knowing Joely is in great hands. Thank you!”
“Bobbie was great!! We have two that can be naughty but she was the best with them!! I know they miss her!!! Our flight was delayed and she even offered to go back over to check on them.. ♥”

FAQs for House Sitting - East China
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 492 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East China. 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 East China 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 China 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 China 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.
