About: Hi. I'm a born caregiver and that includes pets. Until their passing recently, I was my housemates dog walker, caregiver, sitter and dog uncle since 2010. While they were her dogs she routinely joked she was jealous they were far more affectionate with me. :) They were fed regularly, walked, played with, I put proper meds in their food, and often they fall asleep next to me. I also was my friends first choice for dog sitting and even pet sit for a CEO and SVP. In this job, you're not doing this to get rich, you do this because you CARE for animals. Because I cannot have pets where I live at, this allows me to be around pets to enjoy their company as pets have a way of making me smile and enjoy life even a bit more. I will treat your pet as my own and send you lots of pics and updates so you know your furry family member is cared for like you would. I currently work as a video/film editor as well as animation and music production so doing this PT allows me to continue that dream while getting exercise and being around pets as I cannot really have them at my place. I listen to your directions and will treat your pet with the same care and love I would want with a pet if I had one. While others say one thing and do another, you really can trust that I'm honest, loving, caring. I can also help medicate if I'm placing meds inside their foods.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for around four years and have experience with a variety of breeds, including dachshunds, Labradoodles, beagles, and labs. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I was also a dog mom to my Boston terrier for 15 years before she passed away in 2023, so I understand firsthand how much our pets truly become part of the family. Having her from puppyhood through her senior years gave me experience adapting to a dog’s changing needs as they age. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated just like I would want my own dog to be treated. I’m a teacher during the day, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings and at night during the week, making my schedule a great fit for pet parents who work late or overnight shifts. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, some playtime, or a check-in while you’re at work, I’m happy to help! My weekends are much more flexible, so I have greater availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company if that’s what makes them happiest! I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show mine, and I’ll make sure you receive updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have owned a pet for as long as I can remember, even if it was a cat that I came to own by feeding it outside! I have had friends trust me with both their dogs and cats while they were away on vacation! I love all animals and understand that you will want in depth updates and lots of photos while I visit. Pets are our babies. We can communicate on times because my work hours vary greatly. I am willing to come up with a time that works for both of us! I have a lot of experience working with animals with separation anxiety. I am offering drop in visits, because I have two cats that live in my home right now! If your dog or cat loves cats, we could definitely discuss an overnight stay in which I would keep them mostly separate! (or not if they all get along) I am flexible and can clean up messes if your pet makes them while you are gone as well. I will make sure your pet's water is always CLEAN and fresh, and make sure they get lots of love while you are gone. I specialize in watching cats, but I also love dogs and I will be willing to discuss in-home stays.

FAQs for House Sitting - Havana

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 131 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Havana. 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 Havana 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 Havana 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 Havana 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
