“Charlene was amazing! She kept in contact with me daily, administered my older kitties meds, checked in with me to make sure I’d be home as expected and embraced one of the cats snuggling and sleeping with her. A true joy and highly recommend!”
“Jessie is amazing! She took the best care of our pets and sent cute photos, which we appreciated. She also was trustworthy, responsive, professional and delightful. She was very tidy and helpful with other household needs. We will definitely work with Jessie again. She is fantastic!!”
“Kortney has taken care of our dog Lester several times now, both short stays and multiple week stays. Lester is a high maintenance senior dog so not always easy but Kortney has taken great care of him.”

I have one fur baby of my own that stays with my parents when I’m not home. Dogs are the sweetest animals to walk this earth, change my mind. I work from home. My schedule is flexible to fit into your pets unique needs and schedules. Happy to help fit it into my schedule however needed Unfortunately, I don’t offer pet sitting for my house. I’m happy to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home/ safe space.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animals, along with a strong focus on tailored care for each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets requiring extra patience and support. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize reliability and consistency, whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime and check-ins. I'm flexible and committed to working around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve every single day. Whether it's a short-term visit or long-term care, I make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and comforting as possible. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a secure, calm environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to ensure their pet feels safe in a familiar setting. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s fully secured and free of hazards. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and always provide plenty of love, enrichment, and downtime to help pets feel at ease. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands.
About: 🐾 TYLER'S PET BOARDING - ABOUT MY CARE 🐶🐱🐴 I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, with hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. Opening my home to care for them has become one of the most rewarding parts of my week. I believe pet care should be built on trust, comfort, consistency and clear communication. I intentionally accept a limited number of bookings so each pet receives personalized attention, consistent care, and a calm experience. Meet & Greets are required for first time stays to make sure we’re a great fit. Your pet will be treated like family, with regular updates, photos, feeding routines, and plenty of attention while you’re away. 🏡 HOME SETUP Your dog will enjoy a calm, structured home environment with supervised care, regular potty breaks, photo updates, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I have three friendly pugs at home and experience caring for small, medium and select large dogs. 🛡️ SAFETY & STRUCTURE I introduce dogs slowly, monitor their behavior closely, and separate dogs when needed. Feeding is done separately to help prevent food guarding, upset stomachs, or accidental sharing. 🐶⭐️ BEST FIT For boarding in my home, I'm best suited for small to medium dogs and select larger dogs only when the fit is right. For larger dogs I am also happy to provide house sitting, drop-ins, or care in the owner's home. 🐴 HORSE & PONY CARE I also provide horse and pony care through house sitting and care at the owner’s property. Horse and pony boarding is not offered at my home. 💤🌙 SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS My home is kept comfortable year round so every pet can relax and sleep comfortably. Dogs can sleep in their crate, on their own bed, or in a designated sleeping area based on their routine and habits. 📸 Communication & Updates I send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Ask me about professional photo magnets of your dog, a nice keepsake from their stay. 🐶🤝Meet & Greets Held at my home in Lathrop by appointment, preferably mornings or late evenings. 🌅🚗🌙Drop-Off & Pickup My preferred drop-off and pickup windows are 8:30AM-10:00 AM or 8:00PM -10:00 PM. I’m happy to coordinate within those windows whenever possible so each pet has a smooth, calm transition. Flexible, open schedule, your pet gets my full attention and care, morning to night. I work from home so fully committed to making your pets stay as amazing as possible! Your dogs and animals will be safe, loved, and treated like family in a clean, pet friendly home. I follow your pet’s routine closely and provide constant supervision and affection.
About: My love for animals runs deep—I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I care for cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From socializing shy pets to walking energetic pups and helping with feeding and cleaning, I’ve gained hands-on experience that’s taught me how to read animal behavior and respond with patience, love, and care. Whether I’m hanging out with a cuddly senior cat or keeping a playful dog entertained, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and happy. I treat every animal like family and make it my priority to follow their routine and comfort level while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m able to fit pet care into my daily routine easily. I work remotely and can adjust my hours as needed, which makes it simple to handle walks, feedings, or any last-minute needs that come up. I’m very careful when it comes to pet care. I always make sure the environment is safe, secure, and comfortable—whether it’s in my home or the client’s. I follow any specific instructions closely and treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 375 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Felix. 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 Felix 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 Felix 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 Felix 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.
