“Kate is very conscientious and dependable. I’ve booked her in the past and will hire her any time I need a sitter for my two senior cats. They’re very shy, but she was able to draw them out for pets and attention. They love her!”
“Brandi did a wonderful job house sitting. Our girls were well cared for, the house looked great when we got home, and she was happy to help out. We will look to have her back for our next trip!”
“Nancy was very thorough with communication (including photos and videos). It was great to know that our dog was comfortable and enjoying her time with Nancy while we were away! Nancy took care with our home and when we returned, everything was as we left it. We would highly recommend Nancy as a house/pet sitter!”
“Polly was absolutely fantastic. She sent us photos and notes everyday which really helped our anxiety leaving him. When we came home we new right away that Chester loved her. She played with him, gave him his medicine, and even bought him a few toys. Exceptional care. This is the first time we used Rover and wish I had found out about it before! We hate leaving him behind when we travel, but knowing that we now have Polly to rely on, it makes is so much better. My only concern is now everyone will want to book her and then she is not available for us. We could not have asked for better care for our gentle giant.”
“Ella was amazing. She was great with our deaf dog and kept all his meds straight. Both dogs adored her and even the grumpy old cat liked her. We got updates and pictures throughout the week. Our house was even cleaner than when we left. Ella was absolutely fantastic and will be our go to Rover in the future.”
“I am very anxious about leaving my dog and Amanda put my mind at ease. We got regular pictures and updates and he was having a nice time with her playing and snuggling. I appreciated the meet and greet she set up to make sure he was a good match.”
About: I’ve had the joy of staying overnight with and checking in on my friends’ and neighbors’ cats and dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering meds, managing high-energy dogs, and giving extra scritches ☺️ I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets! Evening and/or weekend visits will only be occasional. I’ll do whatever I can to help your pets feel safe and loved. Please let me know how I can go the extra mile to let them feel special!
About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family members. Trained puppies for family as well as my own. Cared for older dogs who needed extensive care. Provided all types of care such as, walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and sitting. My schedule is very flexible so I have lots of availability. Morning drop offs and pick ups are great but can adjust as needed. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. I have a spacious yard and only one small dog who gets along well with other dogs. My home does have space for a crate if needed.
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them until they were old. I am good with pets loving and stern.I will care for all animals like they are mine. I currently have a part time job where I work various hours, but I have lots of moments of free time that I love to spend with animals. I have a dog friendly house where they can’t get in to anything that may hurt them. I can keep them company and provide toys as well.
About: I grew up with dogs as pets my whole life as well as babysat friends pets. I also have my own dog now as well who is a golden doodle I currently work full-time but from home and don’t have many meetings so my schedule is flexible! I’m able to come and go throughout the day as needed I love animals and love to either take them for walks, play in the yard or at the park. Or even just in the comfort of their home!
“Maddie is great! She took excellent care of our dog and two cats, and left our house very neat after she stayed. Our dog can be shy sometimes but he loved her right away! We will definitely be booking her again for other travel.”
“Becca was a great dog and house sitter. Otis was happy and tired upon our return- he played well with her dog too! House looked even better than when we left it when we got home! We’ll definitely book again”
About: I have taken care of a large variety of pets from German shepherds to weiner dogs, Mainecoon to Persian and even chickens! I especially love cuddly animals and dogs who enjoy hiking! I love pets as if I’m their fun aunt coming to visit! My personal cat recently passed at the age of 18, so pet sitting has become even more sentimental. I will walk (wish I could say run, but I’m just not athletically inclined), feed, bathe and snuggle. I have experience with puppies but also love the slow oldies. I was a full time nanny for 4 children under 6; and I now work in the emergency department; so don’t be afraid, I’m hard to overwhelm! Your pets are help pay for my nursing tuition! Thank you so much for reaching out!! I work in the emergency department as a nurse technician. I typically work two 12 hours shifts per week. My schedule rotates every 3 weeks, so I’m available most weekends and many week days. I’m also a part-time student, but all of my classes are virtual at the moment, so I do not require leaving the house. I am experienced with non-other-dog-friendly-dogs, as well as overall anxious pets. I am a very tidy and organized person so if you have a higher maintenance routine I usually don’t mind.
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs since I was 14 years old. I have a Doberman now and went through all levels of dog training courses I just graduated from GVSU and I’m planning to travel end of August. I just want a part time job doing something I love until then. I will be respectful of your house and take care of your pet exactly how you would like. I love being around dogs and keeping them company.
“Michelle did a great job of watching over our two golden retrievers (age 4 months and 5 years) while we were on vacation. She followed our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in caring for our pets and our home. Michelle is a great communicator and sent us updates on a regular basis. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and would not hesitate to hire her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 854 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fillmore. 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 Fillmore 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 Fillmore 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 Fillmore 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.
