“Lesley did a great job taking care of our 9-month-old cocker spaniel puppy during a recent 3-day trip. Lesley was conscientious, trustworthy, communicated well and sent us pictures/videos daily. The house looked as good as we left it when we got back home. We have already booked Lesley again for an upcoming trip.”
“Chelsea was very responsive and sent wonderful pictures and videos. Our cat, which warms up to no one. Feel completely in with Chelsea. I highly recommend her ace will be reaching out again when future needs arise”
About: My name is Zoe, I’m a Delta College student who original went in with Business as my major, to now Paralegal Studies to then hopefully next nursing. Though it’s always been my dream to start my own boarding company in the future! I’ve worked with animals for 3 years plus, non profit organizations within shelters or adoption events within volunteer work, along with working at a pet store a couple years at Carter’s Pet Mart. Since working their I’ve built my own clientele with house sitting birds previously sold from us, or dogs that come in regularly for nail trims for me! As a child i’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, which has grown into the person I am today! I would love to meet yours furry friends! Pet care fits into my weekly routine as I house sit on a regular basis for plenty of people birds and dogs. I am a college student looking to make extra money outside of my regular job at a Law Office to make extra cash for college expenses and saving up for my own future as I am an independent student. I prefer to house sit, as it works into my schedule well, and makes potty breaks and etc, a lot more simpler and happier for your furry ones! During my work days I stop by multiple times a day to do potty breaks, and give them some love for a moment. On my days off i enjoy to walk the dogs or play with the birds by giving enrichment. As a college student and worker, I find the time throughout my day if working or having class to stop by throughout the day to do multiple potty breaks. Some prefer for me to stay at their home with their animals, and some just prefer for me to stop by and hang out with them as well as feed and water, and clean any business that had been done. Either way I am willing to do so! Though I do prefer to watch pets in the clients home.

I have a large, fully fenced backyard for dogs to play safely. Inside, I have a clean, comfortable space for cats, puppies, and senior dogs to relax. I’ll make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
“We booked Alysia to house sit our two dogs and cat with only a few days notice. She kept us updated and sent pictures while we were away and was incredible with our pets and our home. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future and highly recommend her to others.”
“Jesse was kind, organized, communicated with us while we were away...and the dogs took to him immediately. He has a great energy and we hope to be able to have him watch our girls again! Zero complaints. All praise.”
About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets!

Having 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I understand just how important our pets are and how we love them like family.

I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.
About: I have taken care of my pet goats for almost my entire life. Yes, goats. A bit unconventional but they gave me tons of experience in the proper care of animals, warning signs to look out for (behavior and medical), and basic health care. I've pet-sitted for many family members and close friends for pets like small/large dogs, bunnies, and miscellaneous farm animals. I am currently a full time credential student, so I would be the best fit for someone looking for weekend or holiday pet care. I'm more than happy to do late afternoon check-ins or walks during the weekdays, but my schedule is limited in flexibility. I won't be able to keep pets at my own home, but I will take excellent care of your fur babies in the comfort of theirs.
About: I provide a stress free and free roam experience for your pet (and sibling), where they can feel at home. I only take one pet and a sibling at a time to facilitate this environment. All dogs must have mandatory vaccinations; rabies, Distemper (DA2PP), Bordetella, Lepto, and flea medication. Cats: Rabies, Distemper (FVCP), and flea medication. After multiple life changing events, my home feels unnatural without a pet. I work as an elementary school teacher nearby and enjoy walks or slow bike rides on my trike in the evening. On weekends, I enjoy throwing a frisbee with my son at the park, we'd love to have your dog play with us too! I treat animals as another member of the family who deserve unconditional love, respect, and attention. A little spoiling here and there doesn't hurt, right? I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of shade for your little one to roam safely. My neighborhood is older and quiet, perfect for peaceful naps.
About: I have many years of volunteering at an animal shelter and my main job was to train, and social many of the new dogs they would be in. As well as my entire life my family has always had pets growing up. I am currently working full time at a dental office however I have a set schedule. I am a person that likes to be extremely organized and plan my days accordingly along with my own pets needs as well as caring for the needs of other pets. I am very flexible when it comes to changing spaces. So whatever particular care your pet needs won’t be a problem. I can follow clear directions as well if there’s anything specific to your pet needs.
“Max was amazing with photo updates and text messages throughout our 5 day away vacation. We could tell our dog and cat were calm and happy due to his attentive care. He was prompt in arriving which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his services and have already booked him for our next away trip!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for most of my life and have more than 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I always try to make them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work a full-time schedule during the week 7am-4pm, but pet care easily fits into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. I’m available before and after work (5:30am-6am and 5pm to 8pm), on weekends (full availability), and for drop-in visits throughout the week. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I always follow the instructions provided by owners and pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and needs. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to make sure your pet stays safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up on a small homestead, I had my own dog for a couple of years and have also looked after dogs for the family I babysat for, and I’ve also done professional stays. One week with a dachshund (feeding, playtime, safety checks) and around a five day stayover with two Yorkies and a Lab-Bulldog mix that included walks, baths, and daily meals. I’m young, energetic, and happy to give every animal the attention and care they need so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I recently moved to California and currently have a flexible schedule with classes and part time work. I’m available most days for pet care, especially afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I prefer a bit of notice when possible so I can plan around my existing commitments, but I’m happy to accommodate when I can. Your pets will get my full attention during every visit or stay. I offer dog walking and check-in visits right in your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I’ll follow the routine and any instructions you give me, and make sure they get the care, play, and attention they need. My goal is simply to keep your dogs happy, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away
“Another wonderful overnight stay with Coralie and our pets. As always she sent text and photo updates and was all around wonderful, we feel so comfortable having her stay in our home and take care of pets. It really gives me peace of mind and we will continue to use her!”
About: Your pet will not wanna go home. I will provide excellent care. Ive been obsessed with pets since I was a little boy and have always treated them as another human being. Expect to get the best care from me for your pet because I believe they deserve it. They’ll always have a watching eye and never be unattended. They will also be able to roam in my home comfortably and freely as if in their own home. Your pet will always want to return to my home because I will provide the best experience that they have had with a pet sitter that honestly cares and strives to provide that nurturing and fun environment for each and every stay that they’ll have with me. I’m home 23 hours out of the day at home. I have plenty of time on my hands to be the best pet sitter for your pet. I give my pets full access to my house and let them choose where they feel most comfortable. Of course I make sure to make my home very safe for them because they can be very curious about everything like a small toddler. There’s never a need to worry about their safety and we’ll being. I also have surveillance indoor and out just so I don’t miss anything.
About: I am a college student at Chico State, my mayor is Ag Business. I lived with dogs my entire life and sharing is caring. I enjoy putting others priorities instead of mine because that will bring happiness to the individual and that will make me happy. I use to work at a BBQ restaurant as a waiter at first then became a cook and ended as an assistant manager. I left the restaurant business because I wanted to go to College in California. Now I’m here enjoying the California culture. I would be more than happy to help you with your dog needs. Feel free to contact me at any time of any day. Ohh I was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador my father raised me bilingual.
“Errol helped us when we were in a pinch and needed a last minute Dog sitter for our two pups. He brought a calm energy that the dogs loved, and I felt completely comfortable, leaving them in his care. The house was in the same condition that we left it, which has not always been the case with previous sitters. He sent pictures of the dogs throughout the day which I loved and checked in periodically to let us know how things were going. I would absolutely use his services again, great sitter.”
About: I’ve raised my cat Simba since she was a 2 month old kitten with a fecal parasite from the shelter she was at before. I nursed her to health, play with her all the time, and make sure she eats around the same time everyday. I clean her litter boxes all around the house. I love how each cat has their own personality. I am doing this in my free time and my schedule varies daily but I am free and open to discuss my schedule in private. I have a cat who is very friendly but if they do not get along she can stay in a separate room. I make sure your cat will get acquainted.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 397 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hatch. 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 Hatch 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 Hatch 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Hatch 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
