“Catecha was wonderful in every way. Our dog took to her immediately and they obviously fell in love. We were nervous because Roki had NEVER in his 14 years stayed with anyone he hadn't known all his life. Catecha. Sent photos and reports almost every day We highly recommend Catecha and will ask for her if we have future dog free trips”
“Tara was excellent caring for my cats during a weekend trip I took. Aside from the basics, she gave them companionship and loving care during my absence. I will absolutely use Tara again. She was respectful of my home, communicated with me often and sent pictures while I was away. Thank you so much Tara!”
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”
“I was skeptical to use Rover, but I had to make last-minute travel plans and my regular pet sitter was unavailable so I decided to give it a try. I was also afraid that nobody was going to want to take care of my eight dogs (mostly senior and special needs) and one cat. I contacted Amber and described all of my pets and their special needs, and she was up for the challenge. She even shared pictures and stories of her own babies to make me feel more at ease. Leaving six dogs over the age of 12, two special needs Frenchies (one deaf and one paralyzed), and one 17-year-old cat in the care of a stranger was very difficult for me to do. Upon meeting Amber, however, I was quickly put at ease. My animals immediately took to her and I could tell she was a kind, calm, gentle soul, which made leaving them easier. Amber handled all of my babies with extreme care and even read and followed my many, many pages of instructions. When she had questions, she texted or called me just like I asked. She took on the challenge of my paralyzed Frenchie like a pro - and it's not an easy job. She had to express her bladder every several hours, change her diaper, give her baths, carry her around, and give her lots of snuggles! She administered medications to my animals and gave them the various types of different food they eat. I came home to a happy, healthy crew of animals - and a new friend! I'm so happy I chose Amber and that she "chose" us. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”

I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I understand the importance of keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily feeding, playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I approach each pet with the patience and care they deserve. I am also well-organized, reliable, and able to handle any special instructions you may have, ensuring peace of mind for you and your pets. If you’re looking for a compassionate and trustworthy sitter, I’d be thrilled to care for your furry family members. Let’s connect to discuss how I can help make your time away stress-free! Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to add, like pet care certifications or certain animals you specialize in! I work from home, so your dog will have full care during their stay. Routined day, down to feeding schedule, walks, bathroom breaks, etc. Followed by lots of TLC ! I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I ensure they have a clean, cozy space, stick to their usual feeding and exercise schedule, and provide plenty of attention and playtime. I’m attentive to any special instructions, such as medications or specific behavioral needs, and keep the environment secure and pet-friendly. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and happy as possible, just like they would with their family.
“For a first time Rover user, Kira was everything we were looking for to care for our dogs while out of town for a few days. She was respectful, called with any questions, and even sent pictures and updates everyday! I know our two sweet pups enjoyed her with them! We will definitely be using her again! (:”
About: I love showing affection and learning new things and also being able to teach your dog new things. I’ve always been around dogs as a little girl and you understood that dogs have feelings needs just as much as humans do. I make sure I provide dogs with as much care as possible. I like taking walks, runs, and playing.. I’m usually available person.. I would want a bond with your dog and be able to be there for your animal anytime you’re not available to.. I will nurture your dog make them feel safe and be able to trust me.. I don’t have much of a special kills as far as teaching your dog how to do tricks lol but I can at least try. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I have schooling on weekends but I’m pretty much available anytime during the week days I will make sure when I care for your pets at your home, their safety is first and I will be very attentive to your pet
About: I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember! I have also cared for cats all my life! I currently own 1 dog. Book with me today! I work PRN shifts and am in school 2 days a week. I plant to fit your needs into my schedule. I can visit as many times as needed. I make sure that the animals in my care are always cared for to the best of my ability. Safety and comfort are my top priorities.
About: I absolutely adore animals. When I was younger, it was my dream to go into the veterinary field (the only thing that stopped me is I have a hard time saying goodbye to any animal.) I've cared for horses and other farm animals on family and local farms, and I currently help my family and friends care for their animals when they're away with work or need help dog training. They come to me with any training questions about puppies, too. I'm experienced with potty training, crate training, socialization, regular care, and elderly pet care. I've always been involved with girl scouts, 4H (animal science), and FFA (future farmers of america), so you can trust that I am widely knowledgeable about everything from lizards to pigs to cats and dogs! Every fur baby will be in loving hands in my care. My pets come first, always. I wake up 5-6am and take care of pets, including feeding, medicine, and litter boxes, then spend some time outdoors whether that's a walk or spending some time in the window to bird watch with cats. My cat eats 3 small meals a day, so lunch time comes next, followed by calm and wind down time. I spend an hour minimum playing at a higher energy with animals, and we take a trip outside (for walkable babies). When we are back inside, it's more wind down time before dinner. Another walk, and it's bed time. I have an indoor cat to keep your baby company when inside I have two outside lovable and energetic dogs and a huge yard Dogs are always on leashes and always within my line of sight Wind down time before eating to prevent bloat Experienced with a variety of warning signs for emergency care Able to give medicine, shots, special prepared foods, and any other needs for babies who need special help
“I have booked with Donnis a couple of times. Shes friendly and professional. She's consistently on time, and leaves my home clean and in good order. My pup is comfortable with her and I'd book her again!”
“Brianna has been a great sitter both times she has cared for my little girl. She responded quickly whenever I checked in with her. She asked questions if she had any concerns or needed more information. I came back twice to a clean home and a happy dog. I certainly recommend her sitting services.”

Seniors and special needs pets as well. I'm not squeamish. Health care and Military background. This is my primary source of income. I adore pets and look forward to meeting with my clients and their humans daily. Fur feathers or fins, I love them all. Safety and security is always number one! I want to be sure you come home to a happy health pet in a secure home. Your pet will be provided with the supplied food, ample water and given time to exercise. They will be given as much attention and love as they would like and they will be returned safely in the designated area. Your pets and your home are always respected.
“Taryn was really sweet throughout the whole process and our two dogs seemed to respond well to her. Her photos of the dogs during her stay were endearing and showed that she formed a great relationship with them.”

“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 689 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hayston. 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 Hayston 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 Hayston 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 Hayston 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.
