“Sydney was punctual, attentive & took great care of my girl Lillie. She cared for & left my home cIean. I will definitely look to have her as my go to sitter.”
“We used Robert for the 2nd time to house and dog sit our German Shepherd. Robert provided prompt updates and was always quick to respond. He provides unparalleled care and treats our home as if it was his own; the neatest houseguest I’ve ever had! Robert was extremely reliable in following instructions for our dog’s care and medications. He’s an experienced handler of dogs and treats our dog as if it were his own. Quite simply the best anyone could ask for! I look forward to using Robert again knowing that everything will be professionally attended to and our dog will be thoroughly entertained and well taken care of. He provides the utmost piece of mind while we’re away.”
“Ash was super responsive and helpful. Provided updates daily about how my pups were doing. Helped give medication to one of our dogs. Our dogs seemed really happy when we returned.”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Once again Marry took excellent care of my fur babies and home. She truly is an exceptional pet sitter Sami, Ms Cleo, and Fiona are always in good hands when Marry takes care of them.”
“Averi sat at our home with BooBoo for 4 full days. She did a great job with communication from beginning to end. I would consider using Averi again when the need arises. She left flowers and photographs of her adventures with my Boo”
“Susannah was more than patient with Milo and Murphy. Milo isn’t the easiest to navigate through as he doesn’t do well with new people. The meet and greet went well so I decided to book. Milo threw some challengers her way and she navigated through with grace and patience. I left them in great hands and would definitely book again. Thank you Susannah for everything!”
“Laura H. helped take care of Tito for 3 days, and we are very happy with her service. Tito was very happy when we returned home, which gave us great peace of mind. Laura was reliable, caring, and took excellent care of him. We highly recommend her and would gladly use her services again.”
“Amy was super attentive and caring towards our sweet boy. Great communicator as well as fantastic at sending a few photos and updates while we were gone…that gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we could fully enjoy our time away. We fully trust her and will book again in the future. Thank you so much, Amy!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I found myself being the one to watch the dogs the most. I have done many overnight sittings. I've done day time dog sitting for my sister as well. Making sure to follow my better judgment and any instructions left behind for me. I watch my sister's dogs almost every week for two days, originally it was three days but her schedule changed. I'm mostly available any day of the week. Well I make sure to try and keep the space as clean as possible. If I am given instructions for pet care like how to feed, when they should have treats, etc I make sure to follow. I am very communicative when it come to pets, I will send pictures and ask questions if I need to. I try to keep everything as the same as I arrived.
“Sara did a fantastic job watching our 11 year old Golden Retriever for a week at our home. Our dog loved Sara. Sara sent pictures every day of Lady to help my mind about our fur-baby. She was on time. I highly recommend Sara for your fur-babies care!!!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of Stitch and Blu! She was a great communicator and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend Lauren and would be happy to have her take care of Stitch and Blu again! 🐾💕”
“Jasmine was wondeful!! Our animals love her and had a great time while we were away. Jasmine was great about communicating with us while we were gone, and the house was just how we left it. I highly recommend Jasmine!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 822 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Helvetia. 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 Helvetia 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 Helvetia 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 Helvetia 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.
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.
