“Ann always takes excellent care of our pets and our home. She is always our first choice when we are heading out of town because we know we’ll come home to happy healthy pets and a clean home, so we can enjoy our trips with no worries.”
“Ashley was incredible! Kept our dog’s walking routines, gave her cuddles, sent pictures, kept in communication with us, and the house was spotless when we got home. Greatly appreciated her terrific care of our dog and house. Highly recommend Ashley and will definitely be calling on her in the future. Thank you Ashley!”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience! Hannah stayed at our house with our dog Conor, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. Conor absolutely adored her — which honestly says everything. She was super responsive leading up to the stay, prompt with updates throughout, and even took Conor on sniff walks (anyone with a scent-driven dog knows what a labor of love those are!). We came back to a happy pup and zero stress, which is all you can ask for! We'll definitely be booking Hannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares. 🐾”
About: I have been around animals since I was born, and wanted to be a veterinarian ever since I was three! I now attend WSU and am in my first year of veterinary school! I have worked with several different types of animals, ranging from mice and rats to horses. I currently have 3 of my own cats and 4 rats! I have a dog back at home in Tacoma too. If you need simple drop ins, pet sitting, or dog walks, I am here for you! I usually have classes from 1-5 PM, then work for a couple hours after that. I can usually stop by on weekends, late nights, or mornings/ early afternoons to take care of your pet! I will regularly check on the well-being of the animal. Not only will your pet be fed and taken out regularly, but any mess that we might make will be cleaned up better than we found it!
About: Currently I’m a vet student at WSU! I’ve just wrapped up my first year of vet school. My ultimate goal is to go into large animal medicine. I have lived with cats my entire life and have worked with dogs throughout high school and into college. I am currently fitting in part time animal care into my daily routine. It is something I enjoy doing and is an activity I enjoy making time for. In a clients home I would be ready and willing to feed pets and let pets outside. I would also be willing to play with pets and take them on walks.
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for cats and dogs of all ages, including kittens, puppies, and seniors. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, administering medications, and providing intermediate-level dog training, including basic obedience reinforcement and good-manner skills. I also have hands-on experience caring for reptiles and fish, including maintaining proper habitat conditions, temperature and humidity control, lighting schedules, and water quality. I follow care instructions closely and treat every pet with patience and respect. Pet care fits well into my routine, and my flexible availability allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. This flexibility lets me maintain reliable schedules, spend quality time with each pet, and adapt to their individual needs. I care for each pet according to their individual home environment and established routine. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets remain comfortable in their own space, whether that means maintaining familiar feeding schedules, enrichment, habitat conditions, or household rules. I focus on minimizing stress by respecting what each pet is used to, providing attentive, consistent care that meets their specific needs while they stay in their own home.
About: What sets me apart is my background working in a veterinary hospital, which gives me hands-on experience recognizing health concerns, administering medications, and caring for animals with different needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or medical attention. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always keep owners updated with messages and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital and caring for my own dogs, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health are second nature to me. I am very active and enjoy being outside, so I love incorporating walks, exercise, and quality time with pets into my day. I make sure every animal in my care gets plenty of attention, structure, and consistency. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. With my experience working in a veterinary hospital, I am very comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets stay healthy and happy. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and feel secure whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 4 years, including overnight stays in owners' homes, always ensuring happy tails and wagging smiles! I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and treating every pup like my own. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, or keeping routines on track, I’m here to provide loving, stress-free care for your pets and home. ❤️🐾 My schedule is currently open and flexible, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s needs! However, spots are filling up fast as more families trust me to care for their beloved pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Genesee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 153 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Genesee. 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 Genesee 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 Genesee 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 Genesee 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.

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.
