“Wow! Dalton is the best of the best. Attention to detail was fantastic. We have very big dogs and one is a puppy in a new strange house as we just moved to the area so he needed special attention. Dalton was a joy to work with and loved our dogs as if they were his own. Dalton would receive our highest recommendation! (I wish we could keep him all to ourselves. Ha Ha) if Dalton can manage a 200lb dog and a 90lb. 6 month old puppy.. in a house with multiple large staircases… he can handle your dogs with ease.”
“Alexandra was amazing and we will definitely use her services again! She was so communicative both before our trip and during and sent lots of updates and pictures. It was such a nice peace of mind knowing our pups were well taken care of while we were gone.”
“Laura is a natural with pets. My cat has PTSD from trauma and is usually not receptive to new faces. She took to Laura immediately during the meet and greet.”
“Michael took great care of our dogs, walking and and feeding them. They had a better time with him than with us! Great with instructions, would fully recommend Michael for any dog sitting situations.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have a passion for animals. I regularly housesit for family who have three dogs (two small one large). I have experience with senior animals and am on time with medications. I am currently unemployed and start college in the fall. My classes are my main priority but I would like some money on the side. I have enough time between classes to do some “side quests”. I have lots of free time and would like to fill it with sweet babies. I can easily give commands to dogs in a non aggressive manner and can crate them. I’m an active person so lifting large animals or keeping a lead tight is easy. I have my own vehicle with no issues getting from point A to point B.
“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”
About: I am a full-time employee who works from home, and want to take full advantage of my flexible schedule! I am experienced with pet sitting and walking as I have done so for multiple years, and I love all types of animals. I can walk long distances with dogs (willing to go around 3 miles) if needed and is willing to adapt to the special needs of individual animals. I can make house visits several times on my free days, and I am more than willing to play with and entertain your pet! I am a very thorough person who can follow instructions well, so I can be trusted for any walking or sitting assignment. I will always make sure your pet is well cared for and has the best experience possible! I work flexibly from 9-5, with the ability to pivot my day depending on meetings and other responsibilities. I can adjust my work to take the best care of your animal! I will avoid bringing pets into my own home for the comfort of my very anxious rescue kitty. In your home, I will follow your instructions diligently and take time to bond with your animal to ensure safety and comfort.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, ranging from small medium and large, including senior dogs, walking, feeding, and generally taking care of pets. I have also cat-sit for friends and family changing littler boxes, and feeding cats. Waking, feeding, and generally taking care of pets I am currently in an online certification coarse and looking for part time employment, so I have plenty of time to look after and play with your pets. Please give me a weeks notice beforehand if you require any of my services so I can accordingly plan and block it into my schedule. I am very affectionate, patient, but firm with pets. But I understand that every animal is individual, and must be treated as such. I believe that consistent play time and structure is essential, and will maintain any structure that the pet/pet-owner requires, they are your pets after all.
About: I bring hands-on experience from working in both kennels and animal shelters, where I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. My time in these settings has taught me the importance of routine, trust, and compassion. I also have a unique skill set in caring for exotic animals, making me versatile and prepared for any type of pet. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra attention, or any other kind of pet that requires specialized care, I’m ready to provide the best care for your furry (or scaly) friend! As a college student on a pre-vet track, I’m used to balancing a busy schedule while still making time for animals. I have multiple availability blocks throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. I’m organized and plan ahead, so I can make sure pets get consistent care whether that’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins. Caring for animals is already a big part of my life and future career goals, so I naturally prioritize it in my day-to-day routine. I care for pets by treating them like family and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I’ve had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to give them not just the basics like food and water, but also attention, patience, and affection. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel most at ease.
About: Hi! I am a Biology student in my mid-20s in the process of obtaining my second bachelor's degree and working toward a career in animal conservation. Caring for animals has always been more than just a job to me. I've loved animals my whole life. I've had/cared for dogs and cats for over ten years. I have been pet-sitting professionally for friends, family, and others for the past five years. I've cared for animals of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves to play, enjoys long walks, or is a little shy or anxious, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit what makes them feel most comfortable. I know every dog is different, and I enjoy getting to know their personality and routine. I'm experienced with overnight stays, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, administering medications, and caring for homes with multiple pets. I always do my best to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away because I know that consistency helps them feel safe and comfortable. I'll also send plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're gone. My goal is to treat every dog like they're my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. Pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule because it's my main focus outside of school. I'm a Biology student, so while I do have classes during the week, I have plenty of flexibility before and after class, as well as on weekends and holidays. I will keep my calendar updated if any changes occur. I love spending my free time with animals, whether that's going for walks, playing with energetic pets, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel comfortable while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I know pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any other special care they may need. I take the time to get to know each pet and adjust to their personality, whether they love to play, prefer quiet companionship, or need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. My priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean, secure, and make sure your pet has everything they need. Throughout my visits or overnight stays, I'll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different types of animals, from dogs, to cats, to even horses. I’ve always loved being around animals since I was younger and always put the time, effort, and same energy that I do with my own cat. I also have experience taking care of handicapped animals for a short amount of time. I would be honored to care for your animals and I believe that I would be the paw-fect fit. I currently work at a high school and have most of the afternoons (around 3pm), weekends, and holidays off. I also work at another job that is part time after school but they post my schedule once a month which allows flexibility. I would be nothing but loving and caring for every animal. I can take them on walks around the neighborhood or take them to a park/the beach. One of your animals an introvert? No problem! I am great with introverted animals and let them come to me when they’re ready. I never push their boundaries and I always pay attention to their demeanor. My main goal is to make sure that not only the pets are comfortable but the owners are too.
“Lauri is phenomenal! She met with us prior to our Doggy Day Care date, answering and explaining all of our questions very professionally. On the day of taking cake of Jasper, she sent pictures while walking him and playing with him. She kept us updated. Jasper loves her! I have boarded my dog at several places and I have to say, having Lauri take care of my Jasper is the best decision! I didn’t even worry one bit. We will continued to book with Lauri!”
About: I have been in-house pet sitting for 8 years now. What started as a college side gig has now turned into my side job business. After years of getting referrals by word of mouth, I recently, in 2026, decided to go public with my business! So that brings me to Rover! 🐾 I believe pet care is about more than just a task of feeding, potty breaks, and walks. I have always had a deep love for animals and making sure they feel LOVED. When you choose me as your sitter, your pets become my bonus-furbabies, and I love them as if they were my own! I learn your pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they receive love and care that is tailored to them. A lot of my clients are repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. As the owner of Paws & Relax Pet Staycation, I value building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel cared for and comfortable in their home, and for you to return home knowing that they were treated like family. I currently work full-time near Grelot Rd. and University Blvd. When you hire me as your in-home pet sitter, my goal is to spend as much time as possible at your home with your pets, seamlessly blending their care with my workday schedule. I also provide overnight stays to ensure your pets have companionship throughout the night, keeping their usual routine completely intact and stress-free! If your home is within 15 to 20 min from my workplace, a midday visit is available for a potty break for your pets. I only provide pet sitting inside the client's home, as I believe pets do best in their own familiar surroundings. I always schedule a Meet & Greet at least two weeks before your trip so I can meet your pets with you there—that way, I’m a friend walking through the door on day one, not a stranger. While I'm visiting, we’ll fill out a personalized care sheet together. We'll map out everything from feeding schedules and medications to their favorite games, daily habits, and emergency info, ensuring they get the exact care they're used to.
“Amanda was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I will forever use her to watch my babies! She was wonderful and my puppies absolutely adored her! She sent me so many wonderful pictures and took such great care of them and not once did I have to worry about their well being! Thank you so so much and I can’t wait to praise your sitting to other families who are in need of someone caring to watch their babies!”
About: I’ve been around all types of animals since birth; dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals. Etc. My friends call me the animal whisperer. I have that energy your pet will feel safe around. Currently I have 100% availability as I am new to the area from Central Colorado. As I try to lock down a job, I will be using my love for animals as a job to survive. In my clients home, I will follow any rules they have set in place when it comes to their pets. As far as feeding, treats, potty breaks, sleeping and being around other animals.
“Maegan took such good care of my babies. I was nervous to leave them with sitter for the first time but they loved her (even the cat that loves no one). I loved getting the updates while I was gone.”
“Michelle did a fantastic job dog-sitting for me! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. I appreciated the daily updates and felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Anna really helped us out this past weekend keeping our puppy for us in a hotel room while we had a few social events. We really appreciated her being so responsible and keeping our pup entertained. I would use her again. She was on time, friendly and very helpful. I didn’t have to worry at all while we were away!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eight Mile on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eight Mile. 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 Eight Mile 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 Eight Mile 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 Eight Mile 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 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
