About: I have a 3 year-old Toy Poodle she’s a female. Her name is Darla. She is spayed. I adore all animals, especially dogs. I take Darla out for walks twice a day and I love walking them and caring for them. Darla is very playful and loves to play with dogs of all sizes, but if your dog is not in the mood to play, she will sense that and leave them alone. I will treat your fur baby as if it was was my own and part of my family! 🐶😻 I absolutely adore pets. Especially have a fondness for dogs. If I take care of your loved one it definitely fits into my daily or my weekly routine. I would care for your very loved one as if it were my own pet. I would follow the instructions for your particular pet because I know how important it is that the client feels their pet is safe and with a trusted person.
“Julie was amazing! We are new to using this site and were very apprehensive about who we chose to house & pet sit for us. We couldn’t have gotten luckier choosing Julie. She provided very reliable & frequent updates and followed our instructions. It was so great to have peace of mind leaving our babies in her care!”
“Keri was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my home and my cat while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned, and my house was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and I would gladly book them again.”
About: I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like a member of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and preferences to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistent training and socialization, as well as senior pets who require extra patience, medication management, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, daily exercise, and reinforcing basic training commands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through regular updates, clear communication, and dependable care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time work schedule. I have flexible availability and can provide dependable care during mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I make sure to dedicate quality time to each pet for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any special care they may need. Because I work part-time, I can maintain a balanced schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and responsive, ensuring your pet’s routine remains consistent and stress-free while you’re away. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special preferences. During walks and outdoor time, I prioritize safety by keeping pets securely leashed and supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’m patient, reliable, and I give pets a lot of attention and care. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely and keep you updated so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very organized and make time for check-ins, feeding, playtime, and cleaning. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs and keep their routine consistent. I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment by following each pet’s routine exactly and paying attention to their behavior. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep dangerous items out of reach, and give pets a calm, stress-free space. I always handle pets gently, stay aware of their comfort levels, and keep you updated so you can trust they’re safe and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 650 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Era. 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 Era 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 Era 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Era 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
