“Pippin did very well during his stay. With Michele. He is only fifteen months old so can be a bit rowdy. He seemed to be much calmer with Michele. We have already booked with her for September”
“Sheryl was amazing! It was the first time I left Josie for this long in my home with someone else. Sheryl kept me constantly updated. With each message, I felt more and more confident that she was taking excellent care of my pups. She has a rare combination of professionalism, compassion and loving attention that you would hope to find in a sitter for your fur baby. She left my home and yard spotless and my dogs happy! I know they’ll miss her and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Susie is wonderful! We have a dog that has never been left with anyone and has a little anxiety. She did a meet and greet with us and Odie and by the time she left he was lacking her face. When we left she kept in touch with us the whole time and sent us videos and pictures of her and our boy. She took great care of Odie and our home. I will be using Susie again and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”
“I am so grateful to have found a kind trustworthy Christian women. Will use again. I think my pup was better for her than with me. Do yourself a favor and have a meet with shaniesse.”
“Alexandria was great for our 100 lb Great Pyrenees Sheperd mix. She came before to meet Kai and ask questions, showed up on time and sent pictures and feedback during the dog sitting assignment. We will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I have always been around pets I love animals like they were my own and make them a priority when I can care for them! I am a missionary here in Aiken county so all my days look a bit different but very flexible and I often work from home I try to build a safe trust between me and the pet I am entering into their space to care for them and love them
“This is the second time Toni has watched Zelda and housesat and I couldn't be more pleased! She sent plenty of updates and treated Zelda like her own dog. I know Zelda will be excited for the next time we book Toni!”
“I have used Rover before in Alaska and was less than pleased with the amount of time spent with my two mini schnauzers, Nahla spend most of her time taking care of my girls during my short trip (three days). The dogs were walked everyday and they liked her a lot. It was her first time and she cooked food for them they way I do; but she did more than the Vet assistant or student I hired in Alaska and the house was still clean. Thanks Nahla”
“Hannah was awesome! She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. Nala warmed up to her super quick! She stayed over night and took took good care of dog and house. Would have her watch our dog again.”
“Victoria did an amazing job communicating with us about our dogs. She was attentive to the instructions we left for their training along with maintaining one of the dogs medicine routines. Would highly recommend!”

About: My family has had big dogs since before I was born. Ive bathed them, walked them, fed them, and loved on them. I also understand dog body language.

“This was our second time booking with Meaghan. It was just as easy to set up as last time and made for a stress free vacation. She is very responsive and easy to work with. Our dogs have truly come to love Meaghan, and based on the pictures she sent, I’m not sure they even knew we were gone! Meaghan went above and beyond taking care of our pups this week, including bringing a bag of toys for them to play with, and making a pupsicle treat that even my picky husky enjoyed. She sent tons of updates and the cutest pictures, and she even mentioned an improvement in the anxiety levels of my dogs compared to her last visit. Our house was left spotless and our dogs were happy, healthy, and obviously loved on and spoiled while we were away. Highly recommend Meaghan to anyone needing a dog sitter, and will 100% continue to book with her!”

“A top-notch caregiver for my two kitties and I have worked with many sitters in the past 10 years. I chose Asha because she has experience with special needs pets. She was willing to house sit with my babies so that she could express the bladder of my special needs girl. She fed, watered, brushed, loved and expressed the bladder of my little one every 6 hours to keep her on schedule day and night. If you are hesitant about traveling because of your fur babies, call Asha. She is delightful, willing, clean, communicative and observant. She will care for your home and your pets as her own. There are not enough stars for me to recommend Asha highly enough! She is a personable, professional, and experienced lover of animals… I have already talked with her about future sits. She is the answer to my prayers and my babies love her!”
About: I love animals and I’ve grown up around them, so you can trust me to take excellent care of your pet. I was raised with 4 dogs, and my family also fostered puppies and kittens frequently. Additionally I currently own a very sweet cat. I have a lot of experience with taking care of pets and am very comfortable around them — even if they are not used to strangers. There’s nothing better than getting to spend some time outdoors with a walking buddy. I’m a college student at Cofc currently looking to help out with people’s pets. Being summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to taking care of cats and dogs. Pet owners know what’s best for their pets, so I take any instructions left for me very seriously. I’m happy to work with you to meet your pets needs in any way I can. Walks around the block, at a park, or even a trip to the beach are all great — whatever works best for you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Eureka
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 302 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eureka. 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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 Eureka 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eureka. On Rover:
- 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.
