About: I've taken care of a goofus labador retriver named Ginny for many years along with mulitple cats. My love of animals led me to getting my first job at petsmart pet hotel. I love playing and loving on all pets as much as I can. I'm currently working part time for another technical company from the hours of 9am to 530pm. I mostly likely can do friday through the weekend for sitting. I have enough experience to know what to do for dogs and cats. I will play with them. I will ask for any names or things that will make them comfortable and my top concern is letting them know that I will love on them and I am safe.
“Jordan was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Sugar! She took the time to let Sugar warm up at her own pace, and by the end of the sitting, our girl was completely cuddled up with her. We received gorgeous picture updates and fantastic communication throughout, so we never had a single worry. Jordan was also incredibly respectful of our home. We will definitely try to book her every time we need care for our baby!”
“Kanija was very prompt in her reply and spot on with arrival time. My three dogs were very receptive to her and the attention she gave them. I would most definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and would use again if needed.”
“Lanae is the best. She sends lots of pictures and takes great care of all of our pets. Our house is also well kept while she stays with the animals. We have booked Lanae three times in a month.”
“Jhada was so sweet, the boys were so happy and the house was so clean, it doesn’t even look like the dogs were home all weekend much less a new person! Will definitely book again!”

About: Since I was a child, I've had a strong affinity for animals and have always adored fur pets. I've been caring for animals since I was ten years old. I've worked with senior dogs for four years. Neighbors and friends have entrusted me with keeping an eye on, walking, bathing, and feeding their pets. I also kept an eye on chickens. I figured rover would be a great way for me to interact with a variety of furry friends. I can work full time on weekends and part time and weekdays because I’m still in school. But I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and drop ins on weekdays. I don't keep pets in cages because I don't want them to feel confined. I do accept pets on furniture, but if you want your pet to be crated I will allow it. I also have a very large yard for your pet to run about in.
About: I love caring for all pets and making sure they feel loved and to alleviate any stress they feel when their owner is away. As I know that my own pets love having a caring person with them when we travel and they are not with us. I strive to provide the same level of care for each pet I care for, as well. I work for myself and set my own schedule at this time. So, unless I am traveling or already booked I can be flexible to adjust my schedule with sufficient notice. Currently, I offer in-home care directly, so your pet feels most at home, at ease, and comforted by being in familiar surroundings. You can trust that I will be there to provide your pet with the best care, giving them the attention and love they need so that they won't feel distressed while you're away. I can work with puppies to senior dogs and kittens to older cats as well. I'm happy to meet with you and your pets in advance of booking to ensure we're a good fit for each other.
About: I have been a pet sitter for various platforms and have loved my experience of meeting new people and learning about their pets. I would love to get to know you! I am a senior in college and have been pet-sitting for about one year. I am independent, communicative, and flexible. I am studying wildlife conservation and have a plethora of experience getting my hands dirty. Pet Care is very important to me. I am in my senior year of college, so I often have services available on days when I do not have classes. It is serious work; pet care is just as critical as childcare, so I'd like to ensure that I give enough time and attention to the pets that I am working with I am very hands-on throughout my pet-sitting experience. I love getting to know each personality of the pet that I am watching and learning new things about each person that I meet. I am very communicative throughout and a quick learner.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Experiment
Canija was AMAZING. She stayed in my home for 6 days while I was on a work trip and took amazing care of my guy Greg the entire time. She sent multiple daily updates and photos and was super attentive to his needs. Greg is a large rescue and can be a handful but Canija made him feel comfortable and relaxed. My house was spotless when I came home and she even drove my passport over an hour to the airport when I had forgotten it at home. Overall AWESOME and will be booking her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Experiment is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $73 per night.

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 Experiment 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 Experiment 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 Experiment 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 Experiment. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
