“Ace house sat for me for 4 days and was absolutely wonderful with my two pups! they kept me updated on their visit schedule, was responsive and easy to communicate with, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my pups and house in their care while i was away! i will definitely be booking with Ace again soon! 😊”
“I was very hesitant on trying this app for our “babies” while we were gone but Leo was awesome and I couldn’t recommend him more! He was very good with communication and what we needed done for the dogs. He always asked if there was more he could do and respectful of our home. I will 100% use him again when needed and would recommend him 10/10. He put me at ease about being away and our animals being able to stay home and be taken care of. Thank you so much Leo, can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you!”
“Leslie went above and beyond caring for moose for a week. She helped in numerous ways to make sure our couch was protected from our over eager puppy and even bought him some new toys! She took care of our house well and was so generously flexible when our ac broke mid trip. She clearly loves dogs and I would highly recommend booking her for sitting!!”
About: Hi! I'm Tsecel, I've been caring for furry babies since I was a little kid. It's been an incredible journey filled with lots of love and learning. Currently, I have five pets: two German Shepherds named Ghost and Brutus, a Maltese Shih Tzu mix named Mylo, an orange cat named Cheerio, and a hamster named Snow. Each one of them brings so much love and funny adventures to my life! I also volunteer at Anderson Humane, where I get to help rehabilitate wildlife and take care of dogs and cats. It's amazing to see these animals transform and find loving homes. Knowing that I've made a difference in their lives is so rewarding. Plus, giving them all the love and care they deserve every day is just the best feeling ever! With all this experience, I am highly qualified to be the right person for your pet. When I care for your furry babies, I’ll share the same love I give to my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cherished. ❣️PLEASE READ❣️ I’m busy with work Monday through Friday, but I’m all yours on weekends for outings or weekend getaways! If you do need care on the weekdays, I’m happy to help after 5 p.m !!!! Please message me for anymore questions! At your home, I ensure safety by following your routine and respecting your space. I prioritize cleanliness and provide updates to keep you at ease.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I’m a lifelong animal lover with 37 years of experience owning cats, and my family currently has three cats of our own. I love dogs, cats, snakes, and all kinds of reptiles! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and compassionate. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and quirks. I enjoy getting to know each pet and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets. I’ll treat your animals with the same care and affection I give my own, follow their usual routines, and respect their individual needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and make sure their pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and love! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I can coordinate visits, drop-ins, and dog walks with pet parents to help maintain their pets’ regular routines. I understand how important consistency is for animals, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, mealtimes, or evening check-ins. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My flexible routine allows me to make caring for your pets a priority while helping them feel comfortable, safe, and loved when you can’t be there. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your beloved animals requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living areas are kept clean and comfortable. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything that could pose a safety risk. I also respect your home and your privacy. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings to help keep them safe. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for cats and a love for dogs and reptiles, I understand that every animal has different needs. I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always strive to make them feel secure and cared for. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I would want for my own.
“Jaclynn and Nala seemed to have loved their stay with Michelle! She is very responsive and sends pictures to let you know your pups are doing okay. Will definitely book with her again”
About: Hi! We’re a couple who genuinely love dogs. We’ve also spent plenty of time looking after our family members’ pets, so we know how much they become part of the family. We both work in healthcare, so we’re used to being patient, responsible, and paying attention to the little things. We know every dog has their own personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. We’re excited to meet some new furry friends, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs, or just keeping them company. 🐶❤️ We both work full-time in a hospital, so our schedules vary, but we’re upfront about our availability and only accept bookings we can commit to. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! We live in a clean, cozy first-floor apartment with a safe and welcoming environment for pets. We’ll keep a close eye on your fur baby, follow their routine, and give them plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime. ❤️
About: I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I treat each pet like family, offering personalized care, companionship, and comfort. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. I enjoy having a routine, and caring for a dog fits perfectly into my day. With my current schedule as a full-time online student, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in my home, I keep my own Shih Tzu (8-year-old female) in her own room and take each dog out separately when needed. I ensure they get 2-3 walks a day, feed them as directed, play with them, and allow them to roam freely. I make sure all their needs are met. When taking care of pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions, taking their pet out 2-3 times a day on a walk and feeding as directed.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages for more than 9 years, pets of my neighbors, friends and my own pets, I consider that they need the best care in the world as they give everything for us being our companions on this journey that is life, talking a little about my experience, I have taken care of small and large pets to bathe and feed them and walk them, I have training in the face of any altercation on the street. Being something that I like to do since before coming to this country is something that I want to dedicate myself to for an indeterminate time. I have a fenced yard and at the moment I don't have small children, so all the attention will be focused on pets for as long as they need it.
About: I grew up taking care of and loving dogs and cats alike. I have always been passionate about my love for furry friends. I’ve spent time in the past volunteering at an animal shelter as well as cat/dog sitting for family members for extended periods of time. I adopted my very own beloved cat in 2020. I have experience with kittens, puppies, and caring for senior dogs. I would love to expand my love for animals to helping others with care for their precious furry family members. I am currently doing some independent contractor work and have a very flexible and open schedule. I am available for care most hours of weekdays and most weekends as well. I am very patient and understanding of each pet’s individual needs and personality and am more than willing to accommodate any needs. I understand firsthand just how important our pets are to us and will go out of my way to give my clients peace of mind and trust in my ability to care for their beloved pets. I am careful to read body language of each individual animal to gain their trust over time - once I do it’s such a rewarding feeling.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working at Simple EJ’s 4PM to 10 PM every night, but Sundays. I also have class midday Monday-Thursday. Other than that, the rest of the time is for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Elizabeth did a house sitting for Bella (14), Mookie (5) and Mavi (9 months). We were very nervous about leaving the dogs especially the puppy for 3 and half days. Our dogs are used to sleeping with us and getting a lot of attention. The older dog also requires a diaper when she is in the house. Elizabeth did a FANTASTIC job. She sent pictures and updates throughout the visit which truly helped us feel comfortable with her care. I would HIGHLY recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)
“Caroline was a great sitter for our dog and cat! She took the time to meet with us prior to house-sitting to learn more about our pets and their routines. It was apparent that she is a dog lover and has a naturally gentle nature. She was extremely flexible and understanding about our last-minute schedule changes and sent updates with photos throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Caroline and look forward to rebooking in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tania! She took such good care of all three of our dogs and left our home clean and well cared for. She was responsive, communicative, and kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Tania again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Helmar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Helmar. 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 Helmar 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 Helmar 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 Helmar 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Helmar. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
