“Kendall did a great job caring for my dogs. They loved her!! She took them on adventures and treated them to pup cups at Starbucks! Yes, my dogs are a little bougie 😊. I highly recommend Kendall to care for your pet(s).”
“Anne took excellent care of my elderly dog who requires multiple medications and a lot of attention. At the same time she cared for my grumpy cat and was a wonderful custodian of my home. I would have her house sit and care for my pets again without hesitation. Plus she’s a really pleasant person!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I’m currently a full-time college student studying Radiologic Technology from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are online, I spend most of my time at home and can easily plan my day around caring for pets. This allows me to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have three dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I always make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your usual routines and any specific instructions you leave to help keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I also understand how reassuring updates can be, so I’m happy to send pictures and messages while you're away!

“Sophie provided great care to our fur babies while we were out of town for the weekend! She was attentive to them, communicated well and sent lots of pictures! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous. Sophie put our fears at ease and we couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. We highly recommend booking with her!”
“Cameron was very attentive to our 10 year old golden retriever! He was also very accommodating with us since we had to change plans last minute. Definitely will book him again in the future!!”
“Joe did a great job with my dog. He knows dog commands and how to control a dog. My dog took to him right away when he started playing ball with him they became friends instantly. I would recommend Joe again and we'll be using him in the future.”
“Courtney is an excellent pet sitter! She gives daily updates and responds quickly. She was also able to give our senior dog medication easily. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Noelani was great! Diesel took to her immediately. From photos she sent, he was clearly relaxed with her. She was especially helpful in accommodating a last minute request from us due to a last minute cancellation by our usual sitter. Will definitely request her services in the future, and would definitely recommend others to contact her as well.”
“Reliable, thorough and kind! Damica took care of Rocky and our house while we were away on vacation and sent multiple pictures everyday without prompting. It felt relieving to know our dog was in great hands.”
“Heather watched my 2 dogs in our home for several days while I was out of town. She was absolutely amazing with them!! They’re both very different personalities and she cared for them both well, and kept me updated along the way. She responds quickly and reached out with any questions which made me feel reassured they were taken care of. Would absolutely book with her again and recommend her for anyone!”
“Will was great, sent us a few updates with pictures and videos and our dogs seemed to really enjoy the company. He took great care of our house too. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ben has tons of reviews for a reason! He keeps a full Rover schedule and meats his commitments like a pro. We had to make house sitting arrangements with only 2 weeks notice and he was able to fit house sitting with our 2 yr old German Shepard into his schedule with that short notice. Our dog was well taken care of and our small home was left in exactly the same shape as when we left for the weekend. Thanks again!”
“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”
“Christopher was a great communicator. He sent us photos and updates. I was nervous Bailey would think we are second fiddle when we got back. Bailey is exhausted after his weekend of fun with Christopher.”
“Amy went above and beyond to give us the peace of mind while we were away on a family vacation. She cared for our two dogs, one which became injured before our trip and now requires a lot of care. Amy is an amazing dog sitter and seems to love all animals!”
About: I don’t just love dogs because they’re cute. I love them for who they are. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love, and the way they can make you feel loved without ever saying a single word. They don’t care what you look like, how much money you have, what kind of day you’ve had, or whether you have your life together. They just want to love you, be near you, and be part of your world. 🐾 I’m currently working full time, free during the week to be around dogs, care for them & be their extra love. I love all dogs ♥️ Fenced in yard, I have 2 dogs whom I love everyday of my life. They’ll always be a part of my life, everyday! My life is just about dogs

FAQs for House Sitting - Herr
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,348 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Herr. 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 Herr 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 Herr 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 Herr 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 Herr. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
