“Averyl took great care of Banshee and our home. She shared wonderful updates, took Bansh on some nice hikes, and left the house spotless. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!”
“Evan took great care of our 3 year old pointer while we were away for the weekend. He was very thoughtful about letting her get used to him and feel comfortable and made sure she had regular walks. Evan sent us plenty of updates and photos and he was very respectful of our house and left it spotless. We will definitely be booking Evan again and highly recommend him.”
“⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend Liz enough! She took incredible care of Bruno and treated him like family. From daily walks, snuggling to playtime, Bruno was happy and relaxed the entire time. Bruno loves Liz! On top of that, the house was spotless when I returned—everything just as I left it. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for Bruno truly sets her apart. I trust Liz again and again without hesitation! If you’re looking for someone dependable, friendly, responsible and caring, look no further!”
About: I’m new to Truckee after recently moving from Denver, where I had an amazing group of regular Rover clients and pets I cared for. I’m excited to start building those same relationships here in Tahoe! 🐾 I have over 15 years of animal care and ownership experience and have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I’m reliable, communicative, and take the trust of caring for someone’s pet seriously. Many of my Rover clients in Denver became regular weekly clients, and I loved building relationships with both them and their pets over the past 2 years. I have a 3-year-old golden retriever, George, who is playful, sweet, and loves people and other dogs. If your pup enjoys some company, George would love to meet them too! ❤️ I’m comfortable with senior pets, medications, and multiple animals at once. I’ve also volunteered with the Humane Society and fostered a litter of newborn kittens, bottle-feeding them back to health and finding them loving homes. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to help with one-off visits if you’re in Tahoe for skiing, a lake day, dinner, or any adventure where your pup can’t tag along! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 Given my flexible schedule, I can easily schedule walks, drop-in visits, or playtime throughout the day. Let me know how we can work together on availability! I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about caring for animals. My goal is for parents to have peace of mind and complete confidence that your baby is safe and in great hands. My golden retriever, George, is my best friend and constant companion. He’s happy, healthy, and well-loved, and I’d treat your pet with the exact same level of care and affection.
“Scott was great with our new 14 week old puppy. Our puppy was pumped to see him each day and that is probably the best endorsement. Scott was consistently on time (even early!) and made it easy.”
“Maddie was awesome! She took exceptional care of our buddy while we were away. Was very communicative, sent photos, and was careful & considerate of his special needs. I’d recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you, Maddie.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, however, as a renter, I have not committed to one of my own. I have many years of experience loving and taking care of animals of all ages. I have experience with puppies and taking them to training classes. Each dog has it's own personality and quirks and I am happy to get to know them and their needs. I am happy to learn your expectations and meet them to provide your animal with the best care possible. I love going on hikes and would love to bring your pup along for the company! I work doing property management and from home so I can take you dog with me where ever I go! I typically create my own schedule so I am happy to go for walks and down to the river for a swim, as well! I am happy to listen and abide by all of your pet's needs to keep them safe and loved. I believe that exercise is crucial so I will get them out as often as possible for adventures.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and personality for years and I continue to care for them now. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and administering basic medications. I’m currently working remotely part-time, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility. I can’t think of anything better to do during my time than care for animals! I have a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where pets can play. I also have one friendly dog, but I can easily separate or crate dogs if needed to ensure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and provide them with plenty of attention, care, and love.
About: I’ve owned and cared for anywhere from 2-5 dogs and 2 cats at a time my entire life, most of which have been rescues of all ages, sizes, and behaviors. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at the local Humane Society with dogs and cats for around 8 years and have dog and cat watched for family and friends countless times. I’m comfortable with administering oral medication, using feline inhalers, and caring for animals from puppies and kittens to senior dogs. I am generally available every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, but can start earlier or end later as needed. On Mondays I am only available until 3:00 PM. Animals love me and I love them- be it hiking and exploring a lake, throwing sticks in the yard, frolicking in the snow, taking a short stroll, chasing a feather on a stick, or just kicking our feet up for a chill day. I have 3 friendly dogs and 2 cats at my home (one laid back, one spunky 1.5 year old) and a large, unfenced area in the woods where dogs can be leash walked or free roam. There are 4 litter boxes and 2 cat trees throughout the spacious multi-floor house. My own dogs are outside playing the majority of the day with water bowls and a bowl puppy pool outside or cooling down inside.
“This was our first time with Lindi and she was great. She was awesome with the dogs and did a nice job communicating with us - especially about our shy dog. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from growing up with them to having two Labrador Retrievers of my own. I also spent college as the head caretaker for our bulldog mascot, which required professional training. These days, I work remotely, so I have a lot more flexibility than the typical 9-to-5 sitter. When I’m house sitting, your dog can have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I can work from your home, take breaks for walks, and adjust the routine around what your dog is used to. I live in the Tahoe area and spend a lot of my free time outside, so I’m especially happy to get out for walks, hikes, or just some time in the fresh air with an energetic dog. At the same time, I’m equally happy hanging out at home with a senior dog or a pup who would rather spend the afternoon on the couch. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with senior dogs, daily exercise, and oral medications. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away, take good care of your home, and send enough photos and updates that you know they’re doing well. I’m happy to meet beforehand so we can make sure it’s a good fit and go over your dog’s routine, favorite spots, and anything else I should know. I work remotely and have flexibility on weekdays and weekends to stay at your home full-time or do frequent drop-ins, depending on the client’s preferences. I take the utmost care for a clients space when dog sitting, respecting all guidelines, over communicating as needed, and leaving the space as if I was never there each time. I like to share frequent updates proactively so the owner can be at peace their dog is well taken care of.
About: Hi, my name is Kelly and I love dogs! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so plenty of time to stop in/play with your dog(s). I love to be outside and have an active 7 year old dog, who would enjoy going on adventures with your dog! I am happy to accommodate your dog, whether that be long walks in the snow or just more mellow playtime inside. I have an unfenced yard, but plenty of space for the dogs to run and play. I am right on the river. I can provide any type of care for your dog, and I will assure you that they will receive plenty of love and attention! I have a flexible schedule so plenty of time to walk/hang with the pups. I am usually going for a walk or hike or adventure with my pup, and would love to bring you dog along. They won’t be home alone and i would love to fill some gaps in my schedule. I have a comfortable, clean home with dogs allowed everywhere. The yard is not fenced, and I am able to keep your pup on leash or off if you’re comfortable. I never let them outside without being engaged while I’m out there. I also have a lovely sunny deck to sunbathe on.
“Milo had a fabulous half-day hanging out with Ashley & her pup. Milo is an 11 year old 120lb lab/dane mix & can get nervous in new places but was immediately right at home with Ashley and her pup (who is wonderful also!). We got pics during the day & we’re thrilled to see that Milo had settled in. Highly recommend!! ?”
“I can’t say enough great things! This was a last-minute need, and Chloe stepped in seamlessly. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, videos, and photos, which meant so much while i was away. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog!!!!! You can tell she genuinely cares—so grateful we found her!”
“Amara is fantastic! She took incredible care of our beloved dog, brand new puppy and our new home. We will definitely have her sit the pups and house again soon. She truly cares for the dogs and was very kind and sent so many great pics!”
“Zac is wonderful. He sent pictures and updates during his stay with our dogs and left the house tidy and in order. We thought we might miss our connecting flight home and Zac asked if he could do anything at our home to make things easier for us when we got back. We will absolutely continue using Zac!”
“Tyler is a great sitter! I was fortunate that he was available on very short notice. He came to meet my 3 dogs and was up to the level of care I expected. He is very good with communicating and unafraid to ask questions. I believe he took great care of the dogs because they were fine when I came home and there wasn't anything unusual in their behavior.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hobart Mills is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hobart Mills
Averyl was very punctual, responsible and respectful of Daphne and our home. She followed all our instructions and kept us up to date with photos while we were away. She was very, very easy to talk to and very attentive to details. We would certainly use her again. She is outgoing and friendly and relaxed around our dog.
Liz was a fabulous fit for us! She took amazing care of our 13 year old Weim Archie. She was super communicative (which I loved!) and took excellent care of the house in addition to Arch. Would hire her again in a minute. Top notch care, extremely professional, and I returned home to a clean house and happy dog!
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Averyl was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Sugar! She went above and beyond by coming all the way to Northstar in the snow, so we could enjoy a full day on the slopes worry-free. Her communication throughout the day was excellent, and the pupdates she sent were so thoughtful and reassuring. We especially appreciated how she kept Sugar active with plenty of walks around the area. It’s clear that Averyl genuinely loves animals, and her warm, friendly personality shines through. Knowing Sugar was in such capable and caring hands allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our ski day. We’re so grateful for Averyl’s care and flexibility, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!
⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend Liz enough! She took incredible care of Bruno and treated him like family. From daily walks, snuggling to playtime, Bruno was happy and relaxed the entire time. Bruno loves Liz! On top of that, the house was spotless when I returned—everything just as I left it. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for Bruno truly sets her apart. I trust Liz again and again without hesitation! If you’re looking for someone dependable, friendly, responsible and caring, look no further!
Liz stayed with our 11-year-old golden retriever while we were away for the holidays and I could not ask for a better pet sitter. She communicates extremely well, sends daily pictures (but not too many), and did an excellent job taking care of both our dog and house. She left the house in great shape and even took out the trash despite the fact that I forgot to ask her to. Liz is great and I would trust her completely to stay with our dog next time we go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hobart Mills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hobart Mills on Rover is $133.33 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 714 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hobart Mills. 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 Hobart Mills 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 Hobart Mills 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 Hobart Mills 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 with handling special pet needs in Hobart Mills. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
