About: My mom’s friends have always trusted me to watch their pets. I have had to take care of senior dogs including my own having to give them their pills. After work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and the weekend until I can make enough money to do this full time! I want to be a able to quit my current job to do this full time! Giving them enough attention whether it be playing and taking them for walks getting them outside as much as possible. Feeding, bathing, training. Making sure to not leave them alone too long.
“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”
About: Hello! I’m Taylor, a 23 year old animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Since I was young, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by walking dogs, feeding pets, providing companionship, and staying with them while their owners were away. I currently have two one-year-old cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel at ease. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. I work full time and am responsible for being there Monday-Saturday but only if there are appointments. I’m available before work, in the afternoon/evenings, and on weekends for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so if you have a specific schedule or timing in mind, feel free to reach out. I’ll always make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks, make sure pets have fresh food and water, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and will always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for 20 years. Old pets included. I have no issues with giving medication needed for pets or bathing them if needed. I am a stay at home mom of 1! So I have plenty of free time to hangout and take care of cute fur babies! I have a fenced in yard that allows for safe roaming around. Plenty of green grass to roll around and enjoy. Great neighborhood to take dog or cats on walks.
About: I grew up from childhood in a family with dogs around all the time. I’ve had my boy Jordy for 5 years now. He’s husky just like I had in my teenage years. Training him went super well and it’s been one of the best experiences of my adult life having him around. He gets along great with most all other dogs and loves kids. I absolutely adore animals and I've been a nanny for several families over the past 10+ years, where I've cared for pets as well as children whether just on a normal daily basis or while the families were out of town. I'm currently a freelance photographer and I generally work from home most of the time which offers me a good bit of flexibility and free time to take on some odd jobs like pet-sitting and or childcare. I have a fenced in yard and a high energy friendly husky to play with. I also drive a 4runner that'd be easy to load up and take a couple pups to the parks nearby and/or it’s a great neighborhood to go for a long walk/run.
“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Zhy was an amazing dog sitter! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated the whole time. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. I really appreciated her attention to detail and how much love she showed my pet. I would definitely recommend Zhy to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't have been happier having Tarah take care of my dogs. She was professional, courteous, and just loved on my dogs like I do. She even handled my deaf special needs boy who is very active. :)”
About: Animals are my life. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets, and my love for them has only deepened into adulthood. I’m passionate about learning, understanding, and caring for all kinds of animals—whether they have fur, feathers, or scales. My pet care experience includes caring for my own pets, helping out family and friends, volunteering, and working in professional settings. I’ve worked at Dogtopia of Maplewood, a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I was recently a staff at the Sheboygan Humane Society, where I work closely with dogs of all breeds and personalities. I also spent last summer caring for a family member’s five French Bulldogs. I have one dog of my own—Artlet, a playful and sweet German Shepherd/Lab mix. She’s lived with me in my college dorm the past two years and absolutely loves socializing. I train and exercise with her daily, and she truly pushes me to be my best. My passion for animals led me to study Animal Science in college, with the goal of becoming a certified dog trainer and eventually working in veterinary clinics. While my current college doesn’t offer that major, I continue to take professional dog training courses online to keep advancing my skills. In addition to dogs, I’m also experienced with small animals and reptiles. I’ve owned bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, snakes, bearded dragons, and more. I even worked at a reptile breeding facility, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of lizard species. I ask that small animal and reptile guests come with a travel cage or carrier. Whether your pet walks, hops, slithers, or scurries—I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I work Part-Time third shift and when I’m home, I’m able to provide consistent, hands-on care Whether it’s feeding, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping your pet company, I’m home and available to give them the attention they need. My schedule allows me to accommodate special routines, last-minute bookings, and plenty of one-on-one time—your pet will never feel rushed or ignored here! Dogs: I tailor each pet’s care based on their needs, age, and personality—whether in my home or yours. If your dog stays with me, they’ll get lots of love, structure, and playtime. I have two secure outdoor leashes for potty breaks, and my apartment complex has a private, onsite dog park just for residents—a safe and fun space for dogs to run and play. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood, and if your pup loves fetch, I’m always ready to play! For puppies, I’m happy to help with crate training, potty training, and basic manners as part of their daily routine. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your exact instructions and keep their routine consistent, making sure they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Cats: I provide calm, personalized care that keeps your cat happy, healthy, and stress-free—whether they stay with me or I visit your home. In my home, your cat will have access to everything my cat has. My place is equipped with a brand new cat tree, tunnel, litter box, toys, and freshly washed blankets for each guest. I also have a cat carrier if transport is ever needed. I take time to learn your cat’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or senior—and adjust my care to match their comfort level. If I’m caring for your cat in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I handle feeding, litter box maintenance, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I understand how sensitive cats can be to change, so I move at their pace and provide regular updates to keep you in the loop.

“Amber did a great job taking care of our girls! She communicated well with me and my girls were happy when we got home. My dogs will tell when they have been given attention or had a good time because when I get home from being away they act indifferent when we come home like we were never even gone (when they are barking before we even get out of the car we know they are not happy) and after Amber watched them they were super happy! That tells us a lot about their time with the sitter!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Garnet
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 300 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garnet. 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 Garnet 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 Garnet 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 Garnet 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garnet. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
