Thurs- class from 1:30pm-2:50pm; work from 4pm-9/11pm. Fri- usually work; 8:30am-4:30pm. Sat- usually work; 8:30am-4:30pm. Sun- church, usually from 10pm-2pm (depends on if I am teaching preschool at all, or if I am teaching for 2 services or 1). *Please don’t be afraid to reach out with schedule questions—I try to make things work!!! I don’t have a home yet, so I currently offer client’s home services! It’s important that I know where pet non-negotiables are. I also make it personal to provide pet owners with occasional check-ups to ensure them of their fur baby’s satisfaction!
“Riley did a great job communicating with me during the stay. She sent me pictures everyday. She did a great job taking care of my two large dogs and we’re looking forward to future sitting.”
“Things went fine other than I’d like a text when insulin was given to make sure it stayed on schedule. Very conscientious about making sure my travel plans stayed on time and actually changed plans by 2 days as my outgoing flight was canceled.”
About: I have four years of professional experience working with dogs, including three years as a kennel handler and one year training service dogs. My experience includes daily kennel care and handling, canine behavior management, obedience training, and service-dog preparation. I am comfortable working with dogs of varying breeds, temperaments, and training needs. I currently have flexible, 24/7 availability while I work from home and complete additional certifications. This allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day, including overnight stays and extended care when needed. I'm happy to work with your dog's individual routine and schedule. If your dog stays in my home, they'll have plenty of space to enjoy on my 2-acre property, as well as company throughout their stay. I have roommates and another dog in the home, so your dog would have the opportunity to have companionship, provided they are comfortable around other people and dogs. For in-home care at your home, I'm happy to provide whatever care your dog needs. I can follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, training, and general companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs.From a young age, l've been passionate about providing love, attention, and proper care to furry friends. My daily work in veterinary medicine has further deepened my understanding of animal behavior. I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care and attention to your pet, whether it's administering medication or simply spending quality time together. My daily and weekly routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and compassion in pet care. As a pet sitter, l'll bring this same level of dedication and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away. I understand the importance of providing care to your pet while you’re away in the comfort of their own home. I provide regular updates to clients via phone, email, or text, including photos and videos. I maintain open communication with clients to ensure their pets receive the best care possible.
About: I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and cats my entire life. I’m patient and loving and if your dog or cat needs a comforting place to stay, I’m your girl. I allow pets on furniture and to cuddle in bed. I have two Cavalier King Charles who are friendly and playful to keep them company. Accidents happen and if they do I will handle it with a gentle approach if your dog is a puppy or a senior. I am not working during the summer so my days consist mostly of cuddling in the couch with my pets, home workouts and walks with my dogs. I walk my dogs on leashes on the sidewalk and occasionally take them to the dog park. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am careful when I open my doors and ensure that each dog is leashed before opening the door to go outside for a walk.
“We just finished an overseas trip and were gone for two and a half weeks. Our Mini Golden Doodle “Lily” is 3 years old and we are very attached to her and we were concerned about leaving her anywhere for that long. After considering all types of care we decided our best option was to have someone move into our home with Lily while we were away. Debbie came and stayed days and nights for the duration, taking excellent care of Lily for us. Debbie is a mature professional who is able to work from home, so she is ideal for extended absences or any other dog care that requires flexibility.We highly recommend her!”
About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 2 years and studying to become a Veterinarian. Ive worked at clinics. Ive loved animals since I was very young, its a passion! I’m currently employed at a vet clinic therefore caring for your pets is a breeze and just as I enjoy my job I enjoy meeting new furry friends! I have many tools in case of emergencies that I know how to use thanks to my veterinary experience and a big 2.4 acre fenced yard for plenty of room!
About: My family dog Jake lives in Philadelphia, and we’re very very close. Whenever I’m home, I feed him home cooked meals, take him on walks often, spend time outside with him, and if I’m inside he follows me from room to room all day. We’ve built a special friendship even though I’m only able to see him for a few months of the year. I work online as a holistic health coach, which gives me a lot of flexibility to be home and give your dog the attention and love they deserve. I don’t see this as simply “pet watching”. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I also love to cook, so I’m more than happy to prepare fresh, home cooked meals for your pets if that’s part of their routine. I love being outside too, so walks, park/beach trips, and plenty of time outdoors are things I’d genuinely look forward to. More than anything, I’d love to have dogs in my life more often. If I’m taking care of your dog, I want them to feel at home with me. I’m available any day of the week with at least 48 hours notice! I work online, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend a lot of time at home with your pets. Most of my work consists of independent work and client calls, all of which I can comfortably do while your pets are around. That way your pets can have plenty of company and care throughout the day without me needing to leave them alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them. Whether that means playing outside in the yard, getting some exercise indoors, or simply relaxing and keeping them company. I’ll make sure they always have fresh + filtered water, are fed according to their normal routine, and get plenty of walks / attention throughout the day. I’m also a holistic health coach, so if your pets eat home cooked meals, I’d be more than happy to prepare their food as well. I spend most of my day outside and walk a lot, so frequent walks can easily fit into my routine. Finallh, if there’s any way you'd like me to curate the environment to support them then I’d be more than happy to do that!
“Erin is the most amazing soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a different rover sitter scheduled weeks in advance that was supposed to stay in my house with my 2 frenchies while I went back to MD to visit with family. The night before my flight I received a message from the sitter saying he could not make it & the booking was cancelled, needless to say I was panicking trying to find someone last minute. It turns out that was the biggest blessing because Erin saved my entire trip! She is so wonderful! She was willing to stop by my house an hour after contacting her so I could show her where everything was and so she could meet Loki and Diesel. She treated my frenchies as if they were her own! She sent me updates, videos and pictures multiple times a day! I always worry about someone watching my dogs because I have one frenchie who is jealous and shows aggression towards my other frenchie. That did not deter Erin, she accepted the challenge and navigated everything with patience and grace! I feel so lucky that the initial rover sitter canceled less than 12 hours before my scheduled flight because it lead me to Erin!”
“This was my first time leaving my year old Malti poo with anyone and I sure hit the jackpot with Lauren! Wow. She went above and beyond any expectation.. She was on time stayed at my home the entire time. She kept me updated all day with photos and videos.. She is sweet as can be. I’ve never imagined not worrying constantly while away from my baby but I felt more than comfortable from the moment meeting Lauren more so Frankie was more than comfortable with her… I was worried he would want to go home with her: ) Shd spoiled my baby .. I hope she will become our regular sitter whenever we need to go out of town..I would highly recommend Lauren..”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m dependable, active, will always provide playtime, feeding, check ins, and plenty of attention. I also live to go on walks myself so they will definitely get to be outside and get their energy out! I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates while their pets are in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care fit easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll follow and accommodate to any instructions you provide. Including feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I’ll keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and send updates so you know they’re safe and well cared for.
About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently a full time student at FGCU. However I only have closes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am available any time when I don’t have class. I work part time at a babysitting company, however I make my own schedule and therefore am very flexible! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Mollie was fantastic with our Jack Russell Rocco. We reached out and she quickly replied, set up a time to talk before and she was super friendly and accommodating. It was clear she knew the area well and loved dogs! She has some of her own and she is clearly a dog person- she was on time day of and Rocco immediately took to her. She sent pics and a video while we were out. We felt really comfortable with her and knowing Rocco with someone he liked. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend Mollie!”
About: I have owned 5 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 40 years and provide service in Naples, FL, Marco Island and Bonita Springs. I am available most days in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside
About: My neighbors and friends dogs love me and know that I always have a treat for them. It doesn't matter how long they want to play catch and I love sharing my bed. I walk daily and am looking forward to sharing my routine with your fur baby. I am available most days of the week and always on weekends. I am a long term resident of Naples, Florida and am willing to stay with your fur baby. I love to snuggle and watch tv with them on my lap. I know local vets and the best parks for walking.
About: The well-being and happiness of animals are my priority, as it is something I truly enjoy. I am committed to providing responsible and attentive care, adapting to the needs of each pet. Whether during walks, playtime, or moments of companionship, I offer a safe, calm environment full of dedication. 🐾💙I have always been surrounded by pets in my family for a long time. Currently, I don’t have any pets because I plan to travel a lot next year, but in my heart, I still feel the need to care for or be accompanied by a little furry friend. 🐾💛 If there are any needs for your pet, don't hesitate to let me know, I am open to any requests all to ensure a happy and safe stay... I currently have a part-time job that varies a lot from week to week, so sometimes I have quite a few free days when I’m at home with my computer. I usually adapt well to each client’s needs, so the daily routine whether it’s just walks, daytime pet sitting, or in-home care varies depending on each owner’s requests. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goodland on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Goodland 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 Goodland 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 Goodland 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 Goodland. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
