“500 stars!! Lisa was great while we were Away for an extended period. Dogs and kitty well taken care of, house well taken care of and she went above and beyond and was very thoughtful. We appreciated it so much!”
“Chasity was wonderful! From the moment I requested her to watch my 2 pups, she was quick to respond and easy to schedule time for an introduction. While Chasity kept my pups she kept me updated and I sent videos of how they were doing as well! She left my house tidier than I left it and I could tell the pups were well loved! Would definitely recommend Chasity to friends and use her again!”
“Larianna looked after my Bulldog for a week while I was away. She took great care of him and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is really good about communicating and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
About: Hi! I’m Reina! I’m a stay at home mom who absolutely loves animals, & I’d love to help take care of your fur babies while you’re away.🤍 I’m a very attentive & patient pet sitter, & I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, & energy levels, & I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. From feeding schedules & walks to medication, cuddles, & plenty of playtime.🦮 Because I’m home most of the day, your pet can get lots of attention & supervision rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I also understand that every animal is different, so I’ll always take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable & what they’re used to at home.🐩 I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m big on communication. I’ll send you updates & pictures so you can see how your baby is doing while you’re away! 📸🐾 Whether your pet needs someone to burn off some energy, a cozy place to relax, or just some extra love while you’re gone, I’d be happy to help.🤍🐕🦺 I’m home most of the day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, & lots of love & cuddles. I’m also happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while they’re staying with me. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be cared for in a comfortable, home environment rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’ll follow your instructions closely & make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, meals on their normal schedule, & plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send regular photo & message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Before a stay, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, likes, dislikes, & anything else that will help them feel at home.
“Aiden was an amazing dog and house sitter. We could tell our dogs were very well taken care of, and it was very stress free for us knowing they were home in their comfort zone. I would highly recommend Aiden for your animal and house sitting needs.”
“Auriel was absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring toward each of our four animals. She took the time to learn their individual personalities and quirks, and it showed in how quickly they warmed up to her. They absolutely loved her, and we could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. She kept us updated and gave us peace of mind while we were away, which meant so much to our family. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made all the difference. We would recommend Auriel without hesitation and will definitely be calling on her again!”
“Daikyria was amazing with London and Paris and sent questions and pictures and communicated well the entire time I was gone visiting family and friends back in Michigan. We highly recommend her and will be booking with her in the near future!”
“Marissa was fantastic, super attentive to our fur babies needs and attention seeking. Played outside with our youngest pup who enjoys playing, “keep away”. Will definitely book again over and over, highly recommend Marissa!”
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
About: Ever since I could remember, I’ve love dogs. I currently have three dogs at home that I treat as my children and they are spoiled rotten. Usually, during this work week, I don’t have much availability during the weekends and holidays I do. Usually, I’m available after 3 PM during the week and 24 seven during the weekend. I currently have three friendly dogs at home. I have a fenced backyard and Plenty of space inside for my dogs to run around and play
“Breanna was wonderful both pet sitting and house sitting. She kept us updated and gave us so much peace of mind. She helped get our new rescue kittens more comfortable being around people and we will be using her again!”
About: I’ve raised multiple dogs and can’t get enough of them! I have two well-behaved dogs of my own that are 8 and 1 years old and very friendly with other dogs! I truly love treating all pets as my own! I have also grown up with cats which I love but don’t personally own at the moment! All pets are welcome and will be constantly loved on! I am currently a stay-at-home mom with extra time on my hands! My day-to-day is typically staying home and playing with my current 2 dogs as well as my 3 year old daughter. I have a fenced in yard and two well-behaved Labrador’s. One of them is 8 and one is 1 so I can accommodate for whatever age your pet is! My youngest is still crate trained so I am also familiar with crate training dogs if that’s needed.
About: I am an active 57 year old woman who has owned both cats and dogs over the years among other types of animals. Just ask! I don’t have any animals at the moment because of where I live but do have lots of neighbors with animals. I also have relatives with animals that have meant a lot to me. The animals in my area are friendly and there is space inside to lay or play and outside for them to walk. I will watch in your place as little or as long as u prefer. But prefer yours as animals are always more behaved at home and it makes them feel happy to be in their own space. My son is grown and gone and we have loved and had many animals that have either passed. I believe animals can bring a smile to anyone’s face. I love them as my own and all animals tend to like me. I give regular updates and pics and very communicative to make you feel better about leaving your baby with a stranger. I work part time doing uber and Lyft at the time and have some time on my hands, can take off when needed. I would love to share some of my time with an amazing dog or cat. Or even a few of them. Have a great day! I thank you for your time and hope to be meeting you soon! Feel free to ask me anything. I currently work a few days a week delivering for door dash. I have plenty of time to take pets outside when needed for a walk or give plenty of attention when needed. I prefer will watch in your home. I live in apt complex that has plenty of room to roam. 3/2 and it’s only me that lives here now. I have had roommates that had dogs previously but none right now and don’t plan to change that. They can lounge on couches or run around the apt as there is nothing breakable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 592 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harold. 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 Harold 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 Harold 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 Harold 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
