About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and have grown up around dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd and Coton De Tulear, both of whom are my pride and joy, along with the rest of our pack. I understand that these precious souls mean so much to so many people, and promise that under my care and supervision they’ll be treated with the utmost respect and love, just as if they were my own! Starting August 24th, I’m a full time student, so I’ll be available M/W - before 12:30 and Tu/Th - after 1pm, all day Friday, and no weekends. I can do full-day house visits (no overnights), drop-in’s, and walks. It’s all dependent on what my clients homes are equipped with! If you have a fenced yard and high energy dogs, I’m more than happy to take them outside to play and explore, or play inside. Treats are always an option, as are pets, cuddles, and plenty of love for your fur babies!
“Lee was wonderful! She took pics of our doggos to show us they were okay. She helped us feel at ease about being gone by reassuring us that she had things handled. We will definitely request her assistance again!”
“John came to my house to take care of my 2 golden retrievers while I was on a weekend trip to visit my daughter. It was wonderful receiving pictures of them while I was away. When we returned the house was in great shape and the dogs were happy and healthy. I'll be contacting John again when we go away. Thanks so much, John!”
“Meaghan was absolutely wonderful, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! She was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and transparent throughout our trip, always keeping us updated with messages and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like her own. We would happily book with Meaghan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
About: Ive been a pet owner for most of my life. I am always looking to channel my love into helping out with someone else's pet! I am a student and work part-time on the weekends. I have time in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings to care for a pet. I have a park nearby I can take them too. I dont leave doors or windows open. If I am caring for your pet in your own home, I will make sure I am aware of all necessary knowledge in regards to your pets routine and preferences!
“Nicole was great with our dog Cassie. She followed our instructions for walking and feeding and sent plenty of pictures. The house was as clean as when we left. Cassie was happy to make a new friend and if Cassie's happy, we're happy. We will definitely use Nicole again.”
“Jessie did such a great job!!!! This is the first time we have left a pet overnight with someone other than family and she did an amazing job keeping in touch and sticking with the schedule! I had zero stress or concerns while I was away! I highly recommend her!!!!!”

“Jenn was amazing. Libi fell in love with her immediately. They went for walks, snuggled and baked doggie treats. Jenn is a true animal lover. I would 1000% recommend her time and time again.”
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. Right now I own a 17 year old lab mix, 7 year old bully and 1 year old Great Dane. I am great with every age level. All well trained. I am currently working part time. I will have plenty of time to care for your animals throughout my days. I am ready to start spoiling your babies today. I will be sure to do all you ask plus more when it comes to carrying for your fur babies. I have such a love for animals of all kinds.
About: I used to have a dog and took care of him 24/7, I am a huge dog lover and would love to have the opportunity to see your furry friend :) Weekdays -M/ afternoon T-evening weekends -college student Availability can change, if so I will contact you directly to let you know when I’m free, thanks. I will greet your dog with love and care and ensure there talk and or our time spent together is cherished, the dogs happiness in everything!
“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”
“Pam was amazing staying in our home with our Cece (Cavalier King Charles) overnight this weekend. We rarely leave Cece as she goes everywhere with us. Pam came for a meet and greet the week prior to our date, showed up a little early and that gave us time to go over anything either of us needed to, texted us pictures of Cece, and left the house tidy and locked up. Cece clearly loved Pam upon meeting her and was very excited when she returned the following week. Pam is a confident, professional, warm person and we will hopefully be able to have her back the next time we need Cece taken care of.”
“Holly was lovely! We had her watch our pups 2 evenings in a row. Our dogs had a great time hanging out with her, playing, going for walks and chilling. Would definitely call her again when we are in town”
“Adriana does such a great job managing our two younger (read: energetic!) dogs while protecting our elder dog from their antics and still making sure all three have what they need to be happy and well. It's such a blessing to be able to leave town without a single worry, knowing they are in such good hands.”
About: I am an experience animal care taker. I grew up on a farm with all sorts of wild and domesticated animals. I’ve worked with many families taking care of small-large pets including dogs and cats. I also worked at a dog daycare for 3+ years before perusing higher education. With my expertise I believe that your pet is in the safest hands possible. I’m currently working as a youth soccer coach and have the time for pet care in my schedule. Would love to take on the responsibility of taking care of those we love so much as it is a pleasure to be around animals. I live in an apartment with an enclosed outdoor space pets to get fresh air. I also have pet sitting camera for pet owners to check in how things are going.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hinmansville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 306 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hinmansville. 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 Hinmansville 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 Hinmansville 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 Hinmansville 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.

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.
