“Excellent cat sitter! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat and was very attentive and reliable. She also left my home clean, tidy, and well organized, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my cat again!”
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”
About: I think animals can feel my admiration for their kind the second we meet. My core belief in positive reinforcement leaves animals of all types feeling happy as ever. Ever since I was a kid I was hired to house/dogsit, take neighborhood dogs on walks, and let friend’s dogs stay over. In addition to that, I have an 8 year old German Shepherd who took a lot of training to get socialized. I recently moved to Conifer and have loved exploring the trails and open space with him, and I bring that same outdoor energy to every dog I care for. I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time during the day, and I always love a reason to get outside. I like to research training techniques and love bringing what I learn to life. Being in dog care is my ideal part time job because coming across a dog is the highlight of my day every time it happens. When I’ve needed a Rover sitter to look after my dog, I’ve really enjoyed getting updates and pictures. That’s the kind of care I deliver as well. I work at home full-time from 8am-5pm Mon-Fri and have flexibility to leave as needed. This allows me frequent visits to homes and taking dogs on walks. I have a fenced backyard but dogs must be leashed so I will not have them off-leash. I am happy to put dogs in crates and tend to specific medical needs.
“Everything went perfect with Billie watching over the house and Canella. She is a lovely individual and is willing to do whatever is needed. I could tell that Canella was calmer when I got back than the last time I went out of town. That shows that she was really comfortable with Billie. I will definitely call on her again next time I need to travel.”
“Samuel was the best dog sitter we have ever had. He was attentive to our dog and took good care of our house. I can not recommend his service enough. Thanks again Samuel. You made our vacation stress free!”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“Jennifer is beyond communicative and helpful with my old guy. Knowing she was caring for Rex allowed me to relax and feel comfortable while leaving Rex alone. Highly recommend Jennifer!! Very responsive and sends lots of pictures”
“Audrey is awesome! She took such great care of my elderly cat. Pictures and notes every day! I got home and she'd taken out trash, washed up, etc. - left my place spotless! Thank you so much, Audrey, for taking such wonderful care of Carli and my home! I highly recommend Audrey - she is reliable and trustworthy and will love on your pets!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs and have raised several large breed dogs myself. It currently isn’t the right time for me to welcome a new dog into my life full time but I miss having the company. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility for cuddles, walks and potty breaks. I’m also a runner and happy to take any high energy dogs out for a tour. I do not have a backyard but am close to parks where we can walk. I have space for a dog bed or crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly.

“Melissa was a great pet sitter! She stayed at our house with JJ (our large German Shepherd mix pup) while we were traveling, and gave him lots of love and attention. She was timely, communicated well, was flexible with our schedule, sent cute pictures and updates each day, and went above and beyond to accommodate a short-notice stay. She left the house clean and neat. We will be glad to book her again if she is available when we are traveling.”
About: I'm new to dog walking as a career, but I've had pets of all kinds my entire life. There's always been a cat or a dog in the home. My family had a cockatiel for almost 20 years. We also had guinea pigs, an iguana, and African frogs. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and have experience taking care of many. While I might not have as much professional experience, I have many years of personal experience caring for my own pet as well as friends and neighbors. My schedule is mostly open. I am, however, usually busy around noon Monday - Thursday. But I am free before or after. I also often take our kids to school or events in the morning and afternoon/evening. But I am willing to work around these times. Because I am new to this, I am leaving my schedule open, but I may adjust or narrow it depending how busy I become. I live with my partner and her children. She has one adult daughter and two, twin teenage girls who have ASD and ADHD. We have one senior cat who is very shy. Our complex has a dog park, and there is is waking path nearby that runs along a creek. We have a small, fenced patio with grass, dirt, and plants. We also have a child safety gate that I could use to separate or contain pets if needed. There is also have a basement bedroom that is separate from the rest of the house via the garage. We would love to pet sit some dogs or a friendly cat. Our dog passed away last year and the girls have been begging for a new one. This would be a great opportunity for us to spend some time with different kinds before getting our own. It would also be very therapeutic for the girls. Note for clarification: My family will not be responsible for the caretaking. I will be the one taking care of the pets.
“Steven was so amazing with our 6 yr old Aussie and 5 month old Toller!! He sent a ton of updates and photos which we always appreciate. We came home to a tidy home and sleepy floofs, a dog owners dream😂 will definitely trust him to watch our dogs again!”
About: Is your dog an adventurer? Does your pet crave a break during the hectic work day to sniff new sniffs and bark at new squirrels? Does your dog love long walks and sunsets over the mountains? Then I’m the sitter for them! My senior dog and I like to maintain and help maintain your routines to allow dogs to be themselves and explore the world around us in a safe and supervised environment. I've cared for dogs and pets since I was five or six and have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and health needs. I am Pet CPR and first aid trained. I can provide routine medical care, daily training and positive reinforcement, and specialize in love and care for senior pets. Your adventure-pet will be able to stay fit or get fit depending on their age, needs, and your comfort. Nature walks on-leash are a great option! I only board one pet family at a time, which gives me the opportunity to be diligent with your cats and dogs. It’s like they are at an exclusive resort when staying with me and Dulce for the day or for the weekend! I work primarily from home and love an enriching break for myself, Dulce and for your pets! We take multiple breaks during the day for fresh air and to get good stretching in. If your dog boards with us, we will take a minimum of two walks (am and pm) and will very likely visit one of my two on-site dog parks. Your home is your pet’s castle—please share any rules, expectations, and needs with me in advance to make sure we are all a good fit. With a long background in trusted positions, I will care for your pet, property, and home with respect. I request the same in return, and thank you for that!
“Kamilla is fantastic! Its really hard to find someone attentive and responsible; Kamilla embodies both! She was great with the boys, asked questions if she was uncertain abput something and she is super communicative. We look forward to having her back.”
“Katherine was great with our 3 dogs and cat! All of our furry family members ( 3 dogs and a cat) immediately liked Katherine on the meet and greet and then again during her stay with them. She took wonderful care of them and made sure they took their medication on time , fed them , walked them and played with them . Katherine kept in contact with us while we were away and sent great photos to us of all of them. Katherine is very attentive to all of their detailed needs. I trust Katherine with our pets and home and already requested her to care them for again. I highly recommend Katherine to others for pet sitting needs. She is great!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 7,179 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Foxton. 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 Foxton 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 Foxton 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 Foxton 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.
