About: Hey there! I’m Brittany, I offer pet sitting, boarding, walks, drop-ins and housesitting. Pet CPR and first aid certified, insured and bonded. From kittens and puppies to seniors and pets with complex medical needs, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care so you can be away with complete peace of mind. I’m not your average pet sitter, juggling a dozen cats and dogs. I only care for pets from no more than two families at once, but usually just one, so your pet gets my full attention and becomes part of our extended family. Think concierge-style care, calm, personal, and tailored to your pet. I’m a proud dog mommy to my 10 year old Chihuahua, Wolfgang, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Medical and special-needs experience: Cats: kitten care, diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), kidney disease and kidney failure, thyroid disease, and anxiety Dogs: puppies, seniors, seizures and epilepsy, IVDD, IMHA, arthritis, separation anxiety, and allergies My vocational nursing training and pet CPR and first aid certification, shape how I care for pets. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions precisely, and I know what to watch for: changes in appetite, energy, or behavior that can signal a problem. If anything seems off, I contact you right away. I’m reliable and punctual, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet with the kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love to meet yours! I care for pets from no more than two families at any given time, and usually just one. That’s intentional. It lets me plan each day around your pet’s routine instead of fitting them in between other bookings. I’m available every day of the week for boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. Meals, medications, walks, and rest happen at the times your pet is used to, so their days feel familiar even while you’re away. Your dog stays in my house with a fenced yard, in a calm residential area with walking trails nearby. It’s a small, quiet home, best for small and medium dogs with a calm to moderate energy level. I unfortunately do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs, which keeps every guest and my senior Chihuahua safe and relaxed. I keep doors and gates secure, always use a leash outdoors, and follow your routine, whether that means crating or joining us on the couch.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and absolutely love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I started dog sitting with my mom through Rover, where we cared for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have professional experience working as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable hands on experience with both cats and dogs and taught me how to recognize their individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. ❤️🐶🐱 I’m currently on maternity leave until September 7, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to be home with your pets throughout the day. I’m only away from home for about an hour each day when I go to the gym, so your pets will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I believe every pet does best when they’re given patience, consistency, and the opportunity to feel comfortable at their own pace. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their home, I’ll make sure they have a calm environment where they can feel secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and will give them as much playtime, affection, or space as they need. My goal is for them to feel relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.

“Sarah was wonderful with my 2 girls. They have never been left home alone and Sarah took the time and drop in visits to get my Rottweilers use to her and me to feel comfortable with being gone for the week. She made my girls happy and save while I had to go out of state. She sent photos morning and each evening. Sarah is a very special person, I'm so happy I found her.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something close to my heart! During my time at UC Davis, I worked at an animal sanctuary where I cared for over 100 animals, ranging from chickens and dogs to dairy cows. I’ve also fostered dogs regularly, giving me hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges, including aggression. My own dog and cat are members of my family, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. Having experienced the loss of beloved pets myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with their care. I take that responsibility seriously and prioritize every animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs a little extra patience, or a dog who takes time to warm up to new people, I’m committed to meeting them where they are and making them feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll treat your pets like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care full-time! I can accommodate early-morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, and late-night care. My availability allows me to be flexible with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that best fits your pet’s needs and keeps them comfortable while you’re away! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I know that pets feel most secure in a familiar environment, so I do my best to keep their schedules consistent, follow all care instructions, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. For dog walks, I prioritize leash safety, stay alert to our surroundings, and tailor each walk to the dog's energy level and needs. For overnight stays, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for by maintaining their usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. I'm happy to accommodate special instructions, including medication schedules and extra care for senior pets, when needed. I treat every client's home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and communicate regularly with pet parents through updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets!

She was attentive, stuck to our schedule, and handled all the puppy chaos with nothing but patience. We loved getting her frequent updates, and we came home to a tidy and cared-for space. Karilou was respectful, communicative, and clearly so caring with our pets. We’d be lucky to rebook her in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Engineer Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,880 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Engineer Springs. 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 Engineer Springs 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 Engineer Springs 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 Engineer Springs 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 Engineer Springs. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
