“Debra took exceptional care of our babies just like they were her own. When we came home they were so relaxed which is everything we hope for when we have to leave them. Thank you!!”
“Morgan was an amazing sitter and was so flexible and accommodating last minute for New Years Eve. I was nervous about my old big guy because he’s only ever stayed with two other people but I could tell he took to Morgan quickly. She kept me updated and was so kind and caring. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ronny is everything one could want in a pet sitter and house sitter! He is professional, courteous, communicative, and most important of all, amazing with pets. I loved my updates and photos while I was away for three weeks, and I could count on him to keep me up to date with what was going on for his safety and my cat’s safety during some heatwaves/storms. I could tell my cat was relaxed and happy with her buddy around. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Onnelle was the perfect dog sitter in our home while we were away for a beach vacation. Onnelle communicated openly, took great care of our fur baby, followed our instructions and left our house just the way she found it. I will definitely book with Onnelle again in the future!”
“Berlyn put me at ease by coming to meet Rocco beforehand. His size often intimidates people but he took to her immediately. He’s never stayed with anyone who wasn’t family & super familiar with but everything went smoothly! Will be booking Berlyn for my future travel dates!”
“Emily was wonderful! She stayed at our house for the weekend to look after our dog, and he was so well cared for. We loved the updates she sent and came home to one very happy pup. Highly recommend!”
About: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies from Wilson College. I was a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare for a few years. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at an Animal Clinic. I enjoy taking care of animals and providing the best care. I work full time during the week, but I am available weekends and can provide pet care during the evenings after work depending on location. Depending on the needs of the animal, I will provide the proper care as per the owners request. I like to know specific details to make everyone feel comfortable.
“Annalize is a great provider who demonstrates compassionate care for animals. We left three dogs, two cats, two chinchillas in her care for the weekend. One of the dogs is very elderly and needs a lot of hands on care. Annalize brought it, and kept everyone cool, comfy, fed, and happy. I would recommend her highly.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina and her family! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of our pets. We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We would absolutely book again!”
“kayla was great! She had to put up with my old dog that had diarrhea and handled i multiple accidents and cleanupvery well. Kept in contact with me and updated me accordingly. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I have experience working and volunteering at several animal shelters and animal wildlife rehabilitation centers. Ask me for my references! I have lived with animals my entire life. I can work with pets of ALL ages, sizes, and temperaments! I am patient, empathetic, consistent, and trustworthy. I can't wait to care for your furbabies! I currently have a flexible schedule so I am openly available! I can do any day of the week, any time of day, and any length of time. I am incredibly neat and mindful. I will care for your home and treat it with as much respect as I do your pets! You can trust that your home and loved ones will be in excellent care.
“This is our 3rd time using Emily & she’s the best! Our girls are starting to really love her and we love knowing they’re well taken care of while we’re out! Thanks again Emily!”
“A perfect score for Jen. She watched my babies in home for a long weekend and I came home to 2 very happy doggies! Jen communicated with me throughout the weekend so I was assured they were all having a great time. The house was neat and clean just like I left it and everything in order. I can't say enough good things about her. It is truly a great relief that I can travel for a job and have confidence in someone taking good care of my boys. Don't hesitate to trust Jen for your fur babies, she is top notch.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I lost my dog several years ago and while my work schedule doesnt allow me to get another dog, I miss having a dog in the house. I believe dogs are valuable members of our families who deserve the best care while their parents go away. I will provide more then just care, I will provide your dog with love, cuddles and walks while you are away. I have dealt with dogs with stranger aggression and separation anxiety so I understand the extra love and care these dogs need. I am good at sticking to routine and understand how stressful change can be for a dog. If you chose to leave your dog in my care I will strive to reduce the stress of the change. On weekends I will be home all day with your dog. During the week I am available for house sitting, but I work in a fulll time job in Carlisle, PA so the closer to Carlisle the shorter the time I am away. Being away from their home and people can be stressful so at my house we spend lots of time cuddling. If I stay at your house I try to keep things as normal for them as possible. I follow the dogs lead, doing whatever makes them most comfortable.
“Alyssa came over to meet our animals and also met our kids. She immediately clicked with everyone. Our son loved her as much as our dog did haha. She spent a lot of time with our dog nova and also gave our cat all the cuddles. Our dog has some history of anxiety and can be very hesitant with new people but she was very welcoming to Alyssa. We appreciate the time she spent with our animals while we were away. Will definitely book again!”
“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hays Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hays Grove. 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 Hays Grove 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 Hays Grove 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 Hays Grove 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.
