Elaina was a great dog watcher. My dogs loved her and it was obvious they felt comfortable with her. She provided a ton of photos and updates about our animals. She even went above and beyond as my pest control had to come by the house and she was willing to coordinate with me for them! I’d definitely use her again!

Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!

Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pets! We had a two week trip to Europe and it was so nice to be so far away and not have to worry. Charity even handled our AC dying during our trip and sorting out a repair man and keeping everyone cool and comfortable in the summer heat. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Our third time having Emily & Mari look after our Sunny boy was a success! They kept us updated when we were out of the country for two weeks with daily photos, and gave us so much peace of mind as always. They are honest and communicative which we always appreciate. Sunny was cozy in his own home with them and his usual self when we arrived to our clean home, which is priceless. Thank you Emily and Mari!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. My husband and I have owned 3 large dogs for over 10 years now. We have had cats and chickens, and also have owned mules. Our family loves all animals, and I would be so happy to care for your pets, as my own, so you can have peace of mind while enjoying travels! I am very flexible, and willing to travel a bit. I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open .. I would come to your home. I do not have a fenced area for other pets. Our animals know their territory and stay safely here.

About: I bring more than just walks and cuddles! With experience in vet school, grooming, and training, I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and shy or anxious pets. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure your pet feels safe and loved 🐶🐱 Pet care is part of my everyday life! I care for 3 guinea pigs, a chameleon, 5 cats, a dog, and multiple fish tanks daily, so animals are built into my routine from morning to night. I also work at a pet store where I train dogs and care for a variety of animals, so being around pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my life revolves around 🐶🐱🐠 I provide personalized care in my client’s home by sticking to each pet’s routine. I prioritize safe handling, walks, feeding, enrichment, potty breaks, and medications, while keeping pets comfortable and relaxed in their familiar space. I also send regular updates and photos 🐶🐱

About: I have 3 dogs that I have been taking care of for about 10 plus years. I’ve also watched many friends and family’s pers for them, I do have skills in training puppies and some experience in senior care. I am as of recently unemployed, I decided to pivot into my passion for animals and pursue dog sitting and walking full time so any day or time of the week is perfect for me!! My 3 babies do have a fenced in yard, however is not the biggest so I take them on walks about every day. We try to do bath week at least twice month along with a nail trim. I also do cleanup weekly since there’s 3 of them, I always treat a clients pet as my own and give them the tender love and care they deserve because I understand that every baby has their different needs!!

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hemlock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 99 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hemlock. 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 Hemlock 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 Hemlock 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 Hemlock 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
