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.

“Kenz was amazing!!! Our little puppy had just got fixed and we needed to go out of town for a wedding, which made us very nervous. Kenz was a 10/10 with Archie and giving us a peace of mind. She is bubbly and hilarious and Archie can’t wait to play with her again!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up as the main caretaker for our domestic shorthairs and Burmese cats gave me a natural feel for feline personalities, daily routines, and keeping cats happy and comfortable. Over the years, our family home was also filled with dogs of all kinds, including a high-energy Border Collie and sweet sighthounds like our Greyhound and Whippet. Having such a diverse pack taught me how to adjust to different energy levels, training styles, and exercise needs with patience and care. I’m currently the daily caregiver for a wonderful Labrador, and for the past several years, I’ve also loved stepping in as a reliable pet sitter for my neighbors when they travel, making sure their fur babies feel safe, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. My schedule is super flexible! I’m currently a college student, but because almost all of my coursework is completed online, my days are wide open. Aside from the occasional weekday morning for a class or check-in, I’m available throughout the day and week whenever your pet needs drop-in visits, feeding, or extra playtime and cuddles. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities whenever I’m caring for your pets, whether we are hanging out in your home or out on a walk. Years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats mean I know how to spot potential household hazards before they become an issue, and I’m completely comfortable following routines like crating when needed. I’m also a keen observer of animal body language, so I always know when a pet is looking for extra comfort or prefers a little breathing room. Because I spend my free time constantly researching animal behaviour, friends and family actually joke that I am way too serious about pet safety. I wear that as a badge of honour because I am fiercely dedicated to making sure every animal in my care stays secure, comfortable, and genuinely happy.

“Jenny was unbelievably awesome! She came over for a meet and greet before our trip, and both of our cats took to her immediately. She has such a gentle, calm, consent-based approach with cats that made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She stayed at our house while we were away and was extremely communicative and professional throughout the entire stay. She sent us the BEST photos and updates, gave our cats tons of love and attention, and even agreed to feed the squirrels in our yard. 🥹 She also went above and beyond by stripping the beds and tidying up before we came home, which was such a lovely surprise. Jenny is an absolute gem. I am officially calling her a cat sorceress because I don’t know how else to explain how quickly our cats trusted her. 😂 We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a beautifully cared-for home. Thank you, Jenny!”

About: I really enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs it's hard to find a dog I don't like so what I think you'd like most is that it as long as I'm enjoying it I'm pretty sure your dogs will enjoy it too, and I'm a very responsible pet owner myself. I've had dogs in my life since as far back as I can remember, when I was a child my father trained a German Shepherd mix how to count he could count up to 10 however many fingers you held up he would bark that many times. in my younger teens I had a paper route and my dog as a child learned my whole paper route and would follow me to do the Sunday paper. My current dog is a boxer mix and I trained him to work as a service animal just last year although he's no longer on duty he's one of the best dogs I've ever known. In addition to providing Services on rover I have spent a volunteer for the Marion County Dog Shelter for the last year mainly as a foster adoption ambassador. Dog care is all I do it is my main job I'm just finishing my certification in dog behaviorism I intend to train and care for dogs the rest of my life I live on a corner a lot with a large fenced yard I have a chihuahua, A husky who loves to play with everybody And I have a mini Australian Shepherd She is mainly a ball chaser.

About: Hi, I’m Sharon! I have three small dogs of my own, and I’ve become the go‑to pet sitter for my friends whenever they travel. I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities including the shy, anxious, or “usually doesn’t like people” types and they tend to warm up to me quickly. I’m patient, calm, and really good at helping pets feel safe and understood. Experience & Skills: Years of hands‑on experience with dogs and cats Great with nervous, reactive, or people‑selective pets Comfortable with senior animals and medication routines Attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and behavior changes Respectful, tidy, and reliable in your home What You Can Expect: I treat every pet like one of my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean, and can water plants or handle small household tasks while you’re away. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pets are doing. My Goal: To give you total peace of mind, happy pets, a tidy home, and a sitter you feel confident booking again. I work full‑time remotely, which means I can be with your pets throughout the day as long as there’s internet available. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to stay in your home for extended periods while you’re away. I just ask for a little advance notice so I can prepare and coordinate my week. With one adult child and one teenager at home, I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to caring for your pets and keeping their routine consistent. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment that matches their usual routine. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep water fresh, and make sure litter boxes or potty areas stay clean. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with shy, senior, or sensitive pets who need a little extra reassurance. I give pets space when they want it and companionship when they seek it, whether that’s quiet time, playtime, or cuddles. I’m also comfortable with medication routines and monitoring behavior or hydration for pets who need closer attention. While staying in your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and can take care of small tasks like watering plants or bringing in packages. My goal is to make your time away stress‑free by ensuring your pets are happy and your home feels well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Helvetia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,531 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 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 Helvetia. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
