About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently own an F2 Savannah cat, one of the most active, intelligent, and demanding exotic breeds, which has sharpened my ability to read animal behavior, establish routines, and provide both mental and physical stimulation for high-energy pets. I'm comfortable administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and handling pets that require extra patience or attention. My experience with an exotic breed means I'm unfazed by strong personalities, and I naturally create calm, structured environments that help animals feel secure. I treat every animal in my care the way I treat my own, with consistency, attention, and genuine affection. My flexible workday allows me to be present and fully available throughout the day, ensuring pets in my care are never left alone for long periods. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment at all times. Every animal in my care is supervised, secure, and treated with consistency, patience, and genuine attention.

“Angelina and Xavier are very attentive to our fur babies needs and requirements. They have taken care of all of our pets for multiple overnights and always do a great job of keeping up with medication and feeding schedules as well as spending quality time with them. It is so great to have someone you can depend on staying with the furbabies. Peace of mind when you are away from home IS EVERYTHING.”

“Sarah has been taking our reactive dog on walks and earning trust with him. We finally booked a dog sitting stay for 4 days. Despite his last minute medical need right before the trip (which required her to give daily medications & wear a cone), she took on the challenge & did amazing. Our dog really seemed to trust & appreciate Sarah’s company & she made sure he got lots of attention, meals & walks. She was also very respectful of our house & left the place immaculate. We will definitely continue to hire Sarah & felt such relief to know our fur baby was in such good hands.”

“Olivia took good care of our dog and our home. She was patient for the first few days because our dog was a bit anxious. After that everything was normal and Rani seemed quite happy to be home with her. Olivia had also left the home clean. She had mopped the areas where Rani stayed, washed sheets and collected the mail. Thank you Olivia. I highly recommend her.”

“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”

About: What sets me apart is my strong focus on safety, consistency, and personalized care. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—every pet has different needs, and I make sure to follow their routine closely so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m very attentive to behavior and can quickly spot changes that might indicate discomfort or illness. I also have experience working with puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I reinforce basic training like potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior. With senior pets, I’m patient and gentle, making sure they’re comfortable, keeping up with medications if needed, and adjusting activity levels to suit them. Communication is another area where I stand out—I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed check-ins so owners always know their pet is safe and well cared for. Overall, I aim to give pets a calm, structured, and safe environment while giving owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I schedule time for feeding, fresh water, exercise, and one-on-one attention to make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. I plan my day around their needs, including walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions like medications or training. Consistency, communication, and attention to detail. I track feeding, bathroom habits, and any unusual behavior. I make sure pets get enough interaction and mental stimulation. Lots and lots of love and attention. Safety is always my main priority as well. I provide daily updates of pet/care with video/photos.

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve always had multiple dogs in my house at a time. Taking care of and walking dogs has always been a staple to my everyday routine and overall life. In the past 4 years my family and I have begun to foster dogs of all different ages, breeds, and personalities. They came in and out of our house often and each dog had different needs you had to accommodate for. The most difficult were puppies, who seemed to be either very shy or very energetic. While the dogs stayed at our house I would take on the task of feeding and walking them and overtime I got better and better. I love to work with dogs and I’m so excited to meet and help more dogs in new areas! I’m currently a full-time student at San Jose State University but I will always make time for you dogs! My best time for walking dogs is Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and anytime Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. While for home visits my best times are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my own home but at a client’s home I will make sure to respect any rules and focus on the dog’s needs above any other things. For myself, taking care of dogs at home has always been making sure they’re well fed, well walked, and have everything they need to have a good time.

About: I do have my own horses in which I care for everyday. I’ve also had other pets before as ducks, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I am currently in school to proceed further in my career for veterinary medicine. I currently do work at veterinary clinic in which I’ve learned a lot and have been very passionate about my job. My family and friends rely on me when it comes to siting their furry babies. I am currently working part time and in school. I am free anytime after 1:15 PM. I would love to watch any pup and would be able to work around schedules if needed! I do a have a backyard with some space to have some play time, and potty time. I also have an area inside my home where your furry baby can be if needed to be crated. I did have my furry baby who unfortunately passed away but was living his best life in and outside of my home.

About: Growing up with a diverse array of pets instilled a deep understanding of their needs. Specializing in cat and reptile care sets me apart as a reliable sitter. Hi! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or providing extended care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that many need patience and trust before they warm up to someone new. I also enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and am happy to follow any routines that help your pet feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time in San Jose and am available for morning, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love helping pet parents feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication schedules. I treat every home with respect and provide regular photo updates and communication throughout each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re apart.

About: For most of my High School education I had watched The Dog Whisperer religiously, which helped to ingrain my love for animals especially towards canines. I slowly began to pursue fields in which I could help surround myself with animals and careers pertaining to animals. I started after high school and became a volunteer at the San Jose Animal Care Services located on Monterey Rd. in San José. I was working on the side while going to school as I volunteered to help compensate the volunteer hours. As a designated dog walker I was introduced to small toy dogs down to 4 pounds up to larger breeds ranging upwards of 100 pounds. I am located in a single-family residence in a suburban enclave in Evergreen. We have a fenced backyard with lots of space to stretch out and enjoy the outdoors. The local elementary school is a 5-minute walk away, featuring its own walking trail and a fenced grass area. Animal care is my second nature. I can understand body signs and cues when it comes to how an animal is feeling and the best way to approach them. I've held up against big dogs all the way down to the little ones. Each animal is unique. The most important thing is love and respect.

Lynn did an outstanding job caring for our two COVID rescue dogs, who are very unsocialized and typically only feel comfortable around my husband and me. Leaving them with someone else was a big deal for us, but Lynn was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and understanding of their needs. She kept us updated every day with videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My husband and I felt confident that our girls were in good hands, receiving the patience, attention, and loving care they needed. Lynn truly went above and beyond to keep them comfortable and well cared for. If you are looking for a genuine, knowledgeable, and trustworthy pet sitter, hire Lynn! We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our girls, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. Thank you, Lynn!!! Overall Rating: 5 stars. I would give her 10 stars if I could!!!

This was our first time using Monica, and I am so thankful I found her! She was incredibly communicative and proactive, sending multiple photos and updates throughout each day, which I really appreciated (and I told her to send as many updates/photos as she’d be willing to). I loved that the pictures were of Roxy doing things like going on walks, playing with her puzzle, chasing the ball and I could see her sweet happy face. It felt good knowing she was getting so much attention and engagement while we were away. Monica also had an unexpected encounter with an unleashed dog while walking Roxy on the first day, and I was so impressed with how she handled it. She was immediately transparent with me, explained exactly what happened and how she responded, and handled the entire situation exactly as I would have wanted her to. That level of communication and honesty gave me even more confidence in her. I have zero complaints. We will absolutely be using her again and I couldn’t recommend her more!

We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing pup sitter. Our dog, Kai, is on several medications and requires four small meals throughout the day. Trina made sure I was updated on his food intake and overall well‑being, which is especially important given his medical needs. She even sent pictures and videos for every meal, along with updates on his daily activities. Her care gave me true peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found Trina on Rover... especially since she lives just a couple of blocks away, making everything even easier. She was exceptionally caring, loving, patient, trustworthy, and respectful of our home as if it were her own. No words can express how thankful I am for her. She is absolutely amazing and looking forward to her services again in the future. :)

Most importantly, my dog was happy, safe, and clearly well cared for. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks, stayed on the feeding schedule exactly as instructed, and felt comfortable the entire time. It meant a lot knowing my dog was not only looked after, but genuinely cared for and comforted. Angelina also sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.

Vanessa was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She asked all the right questions and took such good care of our dog while we were gone. Our Paisley has a hard time being left alone and she was very considerate of that and even went the extra mile to get her to eat when she was being finicky. We received plenty of updates and she left our house looking as it was when we left. We'd book her again and our dog Paisley absolutely loved her! The cat Leela loved her too and she's pretty aloof!

FAQs for House Sitting - Evergreen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Evergreen is $62 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $116 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,556 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Evergreen. 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 Evergreen 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 Evergreen 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 Evergreen 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 Evergreen. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
