About: I live with my 12 year old Australian Shepherd named Bailey, a 5 year old orange Tabby named Pickle, and a 3 year old tuxedo cat named Fern. I love animals of all kinds and would like to use my love of animals to earn extra income. I will provide treats, attention, and positively reinforced gentle training. I'm responsible with animals and enjoy teaching tricks, manners, verbal and non verbal cues. I've never met a pet that I couldn't love! It makes me sad that our sweet pets are home alone missing us while we are at work, so hire me! I've been called a 'dog freak' more than once. Please let me work with you and your pets. I'll be waiting!
“Emmalee is wonderful! She watched our dog in our house and followed all the instructions perfectly! She was very caring and passionate towards our sweet puppy! We 100% recommended her and will use her again!”
About: I have been a dog Grandma for the past 13 years and have taken care of and nurtured my "pet relatives". I am ready to take my skills and love of dogs "on the road". I am not available for pet care on Monday or Tuesday as I have a "human" Grandma gig, but am available for the rest of the week or long weekends. Caring for your pets in their own environment allows them to be comfortable and keep the routine that they are most used to in the spaces that feel like home to them.
“Izabelle did a great job watching our high energy Australian Shepherd for the weekend. She sent many pictures, which I really enjoyed. My dog looked happy and the house was left in great condition. Thank you Izabelle!”
“Emily is exactly what you are looking for when you go on a trip and have to leave your fur kids behind. She asked great questions on the front end, was very responsive when we texted, and our boys loved hanging out with her. She was cleanly in our house and cleaned up after herself also. Overall - I’d rate 10/10 and would recommend her to everyone who needed a dog sitter”
About: I’m recently retired and have had dogs all my life, since being 7 years old. I had to put my last fur baby to sleep in January 2026, and my significant other's dog to sleep in September 2026. We will be traveling over the next few years so don’t want to get another right now, and really miss having a doggo around! I used Rover quite a bit when I had dogs so would love to pay it forward and help someone else. Plus then I hopefully will get my "fix"! Live in Madison Lake with my significant other and am currently very flexible, having just retired. I usually walk first thing in the morning and then after dinner when weather permits. I love to hang outside and read on the deck overlooking the lake, or work in the garden beds, so can take your dog on the leash outside too to be in the fresh air if they like that sort of thing. My first choice would be to host dogs in our house as we have a pretty good set up for dogs. But I'm willing to drive to Mankato or St. Peter area for pet sitting or dog walking because I understand some dogs are just better off in their own space, if it's a short timeframe.
About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I love caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and species but my favorite creatures to look after are fish! I have over 7 years of experience in fish care and husbandry from a variety of settings; whether you need me to raise juvenile cichlids while you’re out of town, or just make sure your tank hasn’t exploded, I’m your guy. I work in the pet care industry so I also have experience with reptiles, small animals, and of course dogs and cats <3 I work mornings so I will always be available after 3:30pm for any drop in visits or house sitting! I typically have weekends off but, I am able to switch shifts around if your pet has specific needs. I do rent, so I am unable to board pets. As far as looking after your pets in your home I assure you there is no need to worry, I will look after your belongings better than my own! I prefer to do meet and greets and learn the ground rules before committing to a job, this also gives us an opportunity to start building some trust.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs my whole life. I’ve had pretty chill dogs, rough dogs, and dogs that run away any chance they get. I’m prepared for any dog that I can take care of. I do have another job working an asphalt and sealcoat business. But we only work days when it’s not wet after rain or not raining at all. I work out a lot. Other than that I’m open at any time. And I can do over night. I feed my dogs and let them out whenever they need to be let out. If they need specific things such as to be kenneled or anything of that nature I can easily do. I can also keep company with the dogs and play with them.
“Brooke did an amazing job with our anxious dog, Pepper. Pepper can be wary of new caretakers, but Brooke was able to read her body language fluently and gave Pepper the space she needed to warm up. By partway through the day, Pepper was curled up right next to Brooke on the couch - snoozing away!”
About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.
About: Hi! I grew up in a family that always had a house full of pets, so caring for animals became a natural part of my life from a young age. I now have two cats of my own and have been pet sitting for others since I was 16. I have extensive experience with both house sitting and pet sitting, and I always make sure your home is left clean and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know it can be stressful for pets when their family is away, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of attention, affection, and love while you’re gone. My goal is for both you and your pets to have complete peace of mind! I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels, including senior pets and pets with special routines or medication needs. I currently work full-time in the jewelry industry, but caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and love incorporating into my routine! My typical work hours are 11:00 AM–7:00 PM, with Thursdays and Sundays off. My general availability is: • Sunday: Available all day • Wednesday: 8:00–10:00 AM & 5:00 PM onward • Thursday: Available all day • Friday: 8:00–11:00 AM If you need care outside of these times, feel free to reach out! I’m happy to see if I can make arrangements to fit your pet’s needs. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow all care instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to create a calm, loving environment until you’re home again.
“James was great with our fur babies. He was attentive and sent us some fabulous photos! He contacted us with questions as needed. Our home was in great shape when we returned. Much like we never left.”
“Mari did such a good with Bailey! Very responsive, sent us updates when we asked, and she sent us photos and fun videos of our girl. We really appreciated her giving our girl so much love and attention over the Thanksgiving holiday. We absolutely recommend her!”
About: Started as a favor to friends and family, and evolved into a pet hotel of sorts. We help “ferrents” in need as well as any human needing safe and loving accommodations for their fur babies. We provide the best level of care during their stay. My partner and I honor dedicated walks, play time, as many cuddles as desired, and will follow strict food and med schedules. We take the responsibility very seriously and treat all animals as we would our own. I provide Rover services full-time. My partner has a flexible job and can fill any necessary gaps. He typically works 10-6 p.m. Monday thru Friday. We do not have children or animals of our own. Our backyard is fenced for added protection, but we love to take fur babies on walks. We have a ferret-proofed home (although they passed last year) which means anything concerning for a small animal has been eliminated. Because we do not have pets of our own, time and attention will be dedicated to any pet in our care.
“Lisa was fantastic with the dogs and stayed at our house over the holiday. She sent photos and gave updates and I could tell they were having a good time. Such a relief when traveling far away to know the pups are in good hands!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 331 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Henderson. 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 Henderson 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 Henderson 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 Henderson 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
