“Eliza was an amazing sitter for our elderly dog, cat, and rabbit! I can't imagine a better choice - her loving care and attention to detail made us feel so much better leaving them. She went above and beyond dealing with muscle aches in our dog, applying heat and ice. Great communication with lots of updates, photos and videos. I highly recommend Eliza!”

About: My pup recently passed away but I had him for 11 years. He was a high maintenance fellow so I’m up for your high maintenance dogs too. I’m big on animals not being bored. Puzzles, games, walks, etc. Even senior pups can benefit from some snuffle mat work. Most of all I just want them to feel safe and looked after while you’re away. I work a full time job M-F from home most of the time. There are days we’re required to be in the office but that doesn’t happen very often. I can make time during the day for walks when I work from home. I can also stop for cuddles and to play in the yard when we both need a break. If caring for your pet in my home, they’d be welcome on top of all my furniture. Every corner has a pet bed available and ready to use. I also have quite a few pet caves your pet might love. I do have stairs leading up to my couch and my bed. I have a ramp available if needed too to get down the 1 step into my yard. If proving care in your home, I would be a pet care professional and only interact with pet care items. I would lock up after myself and follow any directions I’d been given.
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
“Cole was amazing! He was very communicative throughout his stay and our home/dogs are in great shape. We were gone one whole week and Cole made sure to communicate to us everyday how everything was going. We had peace of mind while we were away.”
“This was our second time booking with Kelsea for a 10-day sit, and she did amazing again! She pulled all the stops taking care of our dog who had a minor illness, including making a sweet potato, carrot, and peanut mash for he and his sister. She sent plenty of photos of them cuddling with her, so there was no doubt that they were ok without us there! We came back to a perfect house, too. Thank you, Kelsea!!!”
“Vai & Adam were reliable and did a great job watching my dog and two cats. They left the house in better condition than when they arrived. I could tell the animals were well taken care of.”
“Allyson stayed at our house for a week and watched our dog cam. She was beyond amazing at taking care of Cam and went above and beyond washing the sheets in the house before she left. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Ayalene was great! I have a high energy Australian shepherd that has some separation anxiety and can be reactive on leash. She handled everything with ease and followed all my instructions! My dog and cats were super happy, the house was clean when returning, and it felt great knowing my pets and house were safe! Thank you Ayalene for all your help! I would absolutely recommend her and book her again”
“Ryleigh took such great care of Ruby and was great about sending multiple pictures every day while I was gone. This is the second I’ve worked with Ryleigh and I’ll definitely have her stay with Ruby again in the future.”
“Christina was very great with our anxious pup. She was very attentive and was quick to get our dog very comfortable with her. She even used a few techniques to calm her down when needed.”
“My Jet is extremely happy and tells me he misses Olivander. Great loving care, wonderful walks, emotional support for Jet when I left. Very professional young man, great communication with me while I traveled. Took great care of my home as well as Jet. Thank you Olivander.”
About: Hi guys! My name is Tanya, and I am originally from Ukraine. My husband, 14 years old son and I have been in USA for 8 years. Dogs have been my love since I was a child. Unfortunately street dogs are a very common appearance in Ukraine, so my mother always joked I would pick them all if we had enough space in our house. I had a lot of pets in Ukraine during my lifetime. All of them found a new home in my place after being homeless. Some of them were adapted by my good friends, not without my aid. I was trying to comfort our last dog in Ukraine for a half of a year after he was abused by a cruel man, who beat him constantly. When Dyck became a part of our family he was terrified of everything. He did not bark at all. He was shuddering from any unexpected noise. He was afraid to eat from his own bawl, and moreover he defecated every time when someone came to him too close. He ran away a few times. It was heartbreaking to watch how he suffered. After 6 month of a calming routine, meals in the same time and place, long walks in the same routes, thousands of hugs and kisses I finally heard his first happy “Woof”. Even now I can't think of him without tears. He was my biggest love and pain. He spent his last year being safe and absolutely loved. Here, in the US we naturally have pets too, and as usual they found us by themselves. Tom and Bob did a sleepover under my husband's car hood. We found them shuttered the next morning on our way to school. They were only a few weeks old and our son asked about keeping kittens. It wasn’t the right time because I did not have a job, and my husband worked so hard two jobs to provide for his family. Although we did not have a lot of money and time, we kept them both with no doubt. Our Benji is the cutest puppy in the whole world. My lovely friend gave it to me, after she watched us playing in her backyard. I was not ready for a new dog. I believed that because my heart still hurt after Dyck. I thought I could not love someone as strong as I loved him, and it would not be fair. I’ll never patch up the hole in my heart with another dog, but now I realized it is fine. It is how things work in life. Thanks to Dyck my heart became bigger and can hold even more. Benji is a Yorkiepoo, and I am crazy about his hair. It is my biggest pleasure to give him a bath and comb it. He is kind, calm, active and friendly. He is ready to greet new friends. I've been watching dogs for years now - all kind of dogs, tiny and giant. I have 15 regular clients who gets along with each oters perfectly. Usually I have 2-5 pets at a time in our place, always supervised. So if you want your furry friend to socialise, its a great opportunity. Thanks folks, who did read this to the last. I'm super axcited to meet anew friends. Welcome to my place! I love spending time with my furry friends when I'm home (Monday-Thursday), and my husbend helps me with doggies when I'm working (Friday-Sunday). We often do fild trips to the Hondo Dog Park and enjoy long night walks. Usually I have 2-5 dogs at a time in my place. They are always supervised by me, my husband or my helper Olena. Tiny or giant - all are welcomed.
“Lilliana went above and beyond in watching our home and dog, giving us so much peace of mind and going the extra mile from meet and greet to when we returned from our trip! Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi, I’m Marci, and I’m your dog’s second best friend! I'm a licensed massage therapist for people, horses and dogs. I'm very intuitive, nurturing and compassionate, and I have been a dog owner for the past 20 years. I work from home part time so I'm home every day, which means I can hang out with your dog all day! I love just about everything about dogs, from the way they curiously sniff the air during walks, to when they eagerly nudge my hand for a pet or massage. I treat all animals like family, and make sure they have what they need and want. If you leave your dog with me, you can rest assured they will be pampered with plenty of love, affection, and patience. I also know canine CPR and have basic medical skills. My goal is to provide a safe, trusted and loving environment for your pet so you wont have to worry while you're away. For additional peace of mind all dogs in our care will wear a GPS collar that can be tracked at all times. I truly feel that dogs are like people -- they are each unique and special in their own way! I would love to know what makes your dog different and unique, down to those hidden quirks and personality traits. Dogs bring out the best in me: my compassion, empathy, love, and encouragement all improve when I spend time with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I promise to shower your dog with all these things, and more! If your dog loves the outdoors, exploration, and long walks, then I’m the right sitter for your! I love to hike and horseback ride on my horse. I love to take my dogs to new places and introduce them to new experiences. One of my favorite seasons is summer, just because I can spend more time outside. However, the cold fall and winter weather means I get to snuggle up with your dog indoors -- either way, it’s a win! In addition to dogs, I have experience with horses, cats, gerbils, rats, hamsters, and birds. I am here to make whatever pet you have feel comfortable, but you’re my client, too! Let me know what you need to feel comfortable leaving your pet with me, including how many updates you would like. I’d love to meet you and your pet, so please contact me to set up a Meet and Greet. I’m sure we’ll be fast friends in no time.

FAQs for House Sitting - Helvetia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,581 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.

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.
