“Ashley took care of our beloved Murphy expertly. She always provided pictures and updates to us. She was also available wherever we needed to talk on the phone. While she house sat and took care of our cat, she also watered all our plants and our home was spotless after our week-long vacation. We would highly recommend Ashley to care for any of your fur babies and home.”
“Lauren was phenomenal. She came twice prior to the house sitting to meet my dog so he would be familiar with her. She was in consistent contact during the duration of my trip just to let me know how my fur babies were doing. If she left the apartment she would let me know when she left and when she returned. I greatly appreciated the photos throughout the trip as well. Highly recommend her services and will book again when needed!”
“Alisa was great! She is great at communicating, did everything I asked, and my dog loves her! Would definitely want to have her as a sitter again! She took great care of my house and my pets!”
“Claire did a wonderful job caring for our dog Tuli and keeping an eye on our house while we were away for two nights. Tuli seemed relaxed and well cared for when we returned. We will surely be using her again in the future!”
“Leans was beyond great with my animals and my house. Responsible, kind great communicator and respectful to my animals and house. If you need a house or animal sitter she is the one to choose. Also my animals LOVED her!”
“This was our first overnight with Courtney. She did really well with Lily, who has some separation anxiety. She took her on a few walks and Lily seemed to enjoy herself. Elaine is pretty social and did very well. She took very good care of them. I definitely want her to sit for us again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years and truly love working with animals. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages, including small dogs, large dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for cats for about a week at a time, helping with feeding, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners were away. I’m patient, dependable, and will care for your pets like they’re my own. I am currently working part time. Usually my schedule is Monday-Thursday from 3pm-8pm. I am able to stay overnight on weekends (will be notified if I get scheduled by work instead). I have free time to come check on dogs every few hours and give them lots of love and attention. Also depending on my schedule I can work during the week. I’m a college student but I’m on summer break so no need to worry about my school schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment so your furry friend can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life I grew up with dogs and a cat to even getting older and getting a dog of my own I’m a huge pet lover and can guarantee your pet will be in good hands with me! Pets are allowed on the couches I’m not sure why it says no on my page lol I have a very open schedule so let me know your days and time and I’m more then likely able to care for them within that schedule I live in a apartment and have one dog of my own but I will take outside to play so will get plenty of outside time
“Aly is the BEST!!!!! I have all rescue pets, which means they can be challenging at times. We have 3 large dogs, 4 cats, 2 horses and 6 chickens. Their ages range from 1 year old minions (kittens) to seniors. We also live outin the country which can be a challenge and of course our new well pump had an issue. Aly handled it better than I!😆 The best compliment I can give is that when we came home, all the kids were excited to see us, but all were acting normal and happy, not like the usual "you abandoned us" attitude. Bonus, Aly even washed her own sheets (not something I would have asked her to do or expected). Again, she's the BEST!!!!”
“Susan is a wonderful house and dog sitter! She spent quality time with our little dog and kept the house super neat and tidy. She is responsible, professional, and pays attention to details. We will definitely continue to use her services when we go out of town!”
About: I have owned dogs - big and small dogs- and cats all my life! I love animals, domestic pets and farm animals… they are a passion of mine. I truly believe everyone should know and experience the love of a pet! I went to school studying wildlife biology and animal behavior. I have worked with rescues from all over NorCal and at a dog daycare in Chico (in one day would be with 30-40 dogs of all breeds and sizes) and had my own business caring for and whelping new dog moms and their newborn puppies- including special needs pups (pups needing tube feeding, oxygen, etc). Animals are a huge part of my daily life and I hope always will be. They are not only a love but also a passion of mine as long as I can remember. I am extremely trust worthy and committed to caring for animals, there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing! ** I can also offer cleaning services in your home while hanging out longer with your pet, ask for more information! My schedule is very flexible and I can usually work around your needs and desires morning noon and night, just let me know and I can make it work! I can care for your pet in any way needed for his/her daily routine and structure as instructed. Giving lots of love while doing it. I believe following your instructions and wish is extremely important
“Amazing with dogs and you cannot tell Tyler stayed in your home. Retuned to a tired, happy dog and clean house. Spot on communication if needed and very nurturing to Jasper. See you next visit”
About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals, especially dogs. I have many years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as other’s. I have some experience with puppies and extensive experience with senior dogs. I have also fostered and participated in dog training. I am detail oriented and organized. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and requirements your dogs may need. I’m excited to make some new furry friends. I work part time as a phlebotomist and a bartender. I am usually available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after 1pm, Thursday and Friday 1pm-6pm, and all day on Saturday. I’m able to feed, walk and play with your furry friend in the morning before work, in between jobs and anytime on Saturdays. I’m happy to keep your pet company at your house for however long is needed. I’m able to care for pets overnight or I can do daily check-ins and walks.
About: I love pets! More than human most of the time. I enjoy talking to them and learning from them, and playing! Your baby will be in very good hands with me! I am a student and can only work part time. This kind of work is not only ideal for my schedule and financial needs, its an opportunity to make new 4 legged friends! I am not able to host any furry friends. But I can walk them around their neighborhood. Hang with them in their home with their owners are away. I've cared for many different breeds with many different needs and I am more than happy to accommodate for whatever is needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hamilton City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 258 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hamilton City. 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 Hamilton City 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 Hamilton City 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 Hamilton City 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.
