“Sarah was awesome. She sent pics & a recap of how the day went every day. The dogs were happy & healthy when we got home. Our place was clean & neat. We definitely will book again. I highly recommend her.”
“Leo was thoughtful, proactive and communicative. He regularly checked in, was patient and kind, and even got good feedback from the neighbors. When the dog was sick he took time to pick up meds for her and to share how she was doing throughout his stay. Thanks for caring for Mabel, Leo!”
About: Hi! I'm Kaysin. I've grown up with dogs in my home my entire life. I've been taking care of dogs for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have experience with different sizes of dogs from Pomeranians to Great Pyrenees. I've also cared for dogs of all different personalities, routines, ages, and I'm well versed basic care-taking procedures like walking, feeding, potty-breaks, medications (including injections), and of course, playing! I'm a big dog lover, and I'll make sure your pups feel loved and treasured while you're away! I'm currently a second year student at KU with a part time job in house cleaning as well. I'm available weekdays for walks and drop-ins as needed, and most weekends for house-sitting! I'm comfortable house-sitting for both dogs and cats. I am capable of taking dogs for walks for exercise, letting them out to potty, and building trust with the more anxious pups as well! I'm willing to work with you to meet any of your dog's or cat's needs!
“Haylee is very sweet and personable, she took great care of my dog. Will definitely have her sit for us again, I know Lucille looks forward to her next “slumber party” with Haylee :)”
About: I started pet sitting a couple years ago for my family and friends and it’s truly a job I love doing. I have experience with pet sitting several different dogs, varying in age and breed. I have experience with senior dogs. My responsibilities while pet sitting dogs included taking dogs on daily walks, preparing food and water, administering medication, and even giving baths. I’m currently a college student at the University of Kansas, and I am taking classes on the weekdays. I have selected that I’m available on all weekdays, because I have several gaps between classes that will allow me check on and take care of your pets every 2-4 hours. After 3 o’clock on every weekday except Thursday I will be able provide full time care as well as on weekends. My goal is to provide the best care for your pet, and I’m prepared to walk, play, feed, crate, clean and do whatever is needed to provide your pet with the best care.
About: I have taken care of my family's own dogs and neighbors' dogs since I was 14. I have experience training obedience and I raised and trained my own puppy at 17. I have experience with various training methods including R+, and I have extensive experience with high energy dogs. I have a flexible schedule, so I can be there to take care of animals while you are at work or on vacation multiple times a day. All pets are beloved companions and will be cared for as my own pets. I take my responsibility in looking after your animals very seriously.
“Amelia did a great job with our pups! They were well taken care of and loved on. She had great communication with us our entire trip!! Definitely would book again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and currently care for my own dogs, bird, and aquariums every day. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away. My background in healthcare has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and will keep my Rover calendar updated so it always reflects my availability. I make pet care a priority and enjoy spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your instructions and routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I know every pet is different because I’ve experienced that with my own dogs. One of my dogs has epilepsy and takes medication on a strict schedule, so I understand how important routines, careful observation, and clear communication are. I have a fenced backyard and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as you ask. Whether your pet is young, senior, or has special needs, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Carson did a wonderful job house sitting with our German Shepherd for 1 week. She sent pictures and updates. We were quite comfortable leaving our boy, Jax, in her care. I would not hesitate using Carson again in the future.”
About: I've had a dog since I was 10 years old and caring for him has been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting last summer and quickly realized how much I loved it! I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we're going on walks, playing, or just relaxing. I treat every dog like my own and I make it a priority of mine to do my best to keep them in their same routine so they can be as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and love! I'll also be sure to send plenty of photo and message updates so you know your pups are in good hands! I'm going to be attending University of Kansas this fall and my schedule is very flexible. I will only have one class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday which gives plenty of time to provide attentive care throughout the day. My weekends will also be open, making it easy to accommodate weekend bookings. I will care for your pets in their home by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I'll stick to your instructions about feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, or any other special care they may need. I want your pups to feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I will send regular photos and updates so you can be at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands.
About: I've trained service dogs and puppies. I've also cared for multi-animal (species and number) households and I've been doing so my whole life. Whether the dog is big or small, I'd love to help! Pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. I have ADHD that leans towards forgetting to do stuff for myself. To counter that, I connect my human activities with my pet activities. Like "I fed the dogs and cats" and then the next sentence is "Oh! I will feed myself too!" I have crate trained dogs before and can reinforce that training to ensure that dogs feel safe and secure in their resting area. I like to familiarize myself with their habits. For instance, where does your dog like to go for a walk? How do they exercise? What's their favorite treat and when do they usually get them? Do they like doing a particular activity? This is my client's home and with that it is my client's pet's home. I take that to heart and try to embed these habits into their daily routine so that they can be cared for well and in the way that they know.
“Rachel is our go to sitter for our two Danes. I actually think our Danes wait for us to leave on a trip, cause that means time with one of their favorite people. We've used her for years, and our animals have all loved her!”
“Nathan was great and exceeded all of our expectations! He was on time, came to meet our dogs twice before the stay, followed all of our instructions AND brushed them multiple times, took our trash out, and kept the house in great shape.”
“Erika is amazing! Her care for my pup was so appreciated. She gave him so much attention and love that he didn’t even miss me during my multi-day trip away. This is our second time working with Erika and we will be seeing her again in the future. A+ service!”
“We were thrilled with Phillip's care of our two large dogs (90 and 94 pounds). One was a foster dog who had only been in our care a short while. We were unsure how he would react ... but he loved his overnight playmate :) Phillip sent lots of photos, which helped put my mind at ease. He took the dogs for a walk and attended to their every need. I would not hesitate to use Phillip again or to recommend him to anyone looking for a fellow dog-lover to take for their furry family member(s).”
About: I have been around family pets my whole life. I especially love dogs of all breeds. I am ready to care for your fur-baby. I'm available for short term and long term needs even with short notice. I'm available by appointment to serve you as needed for your dogs. I can work evenings, daytimes and even over night care when you travel. I can come to you and care for your fur-baby in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. I'm also available to pick your dog up for appointments or walks at the dog park.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,255 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hesper. 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 Hesper 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 Hesper 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 Hesper 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.
