“Macie is absolutely wonderful! We had Macie watch our dogs for two visits over the weekend, and both experiences were outstanding. She was punctual, communicated beautifully throughout both days, and sent thoughtful picture updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were out. What really impressed us was how Macie went above and beyond basic pet sitting. She took the time to understand each dog's individual needs and personality, and she even worked on crate training with our puppy during her visits. By the time we got home, our puppy was already responding better to the crate command—Macie didn't just supervise, she actively helped with training! Macie was fantastic with both of our dogs and clearly has a gift for reading and responding to what each animal needs. She was incredibly respectful of our home, and when we returned, she took the time to share detailed updates about how each dog did, remembering specific details about their day that showed how attentive and caring she had been. We felt completely confident leaving our dogs in Macie's care, and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. If you're looking for a sitter who is reliable, communicative, genuinely caring, and goes the extra mile, Macie is the one. Highly recommend! We are already planning to rebook her!”

About: I am a dedicated animal lover who cannot have pets due to housing rules. Because of this, I treat every pet sitting opportunity with extra care and excitement. I am reliable, attentive, and will give your pet my full focus, affection, and high-quality care It fits into my schedule perfectly. While I currently do DoorDash on the side, I want to be more active. I have a lot of energy, love hiking, and thrive outdoors, which makes pet care a great fit for me.

“I was extremely nervous about leaving my pets with someone I didn't know, but Sophia took such great care of them. She sent lots of updates and pictures which really made me feel better knowing my pets were safe and happy. She even took my dog for a walk. I would 100% book her again and be comfortable knowing my babies are in good hands”
About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, especially bully breeds, and have been the go-to friend to watch and walk neighbors, family and friends pets for well over a decade. Your furry babies become family with me! I’m currently waiting to start a new job, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Whether it be early morning walks, afternoon snuggles or late night potty runs, I’ll be there! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, including bully breeds and active, working breeds, and would love the opportunity to help take care of your furry loved ones :) It’s ruff having your owners away! I’ll go wherever your pet is most comfortable and follow whatever instructions left to help your pet stick to his or her usual routine to reduce anxiety and tension.
About: I've taken care of my own dogs for nearly a decade. As a teenager I spent a short amount of time as a dog/house sitter for a neighbor. I currently work part-time in childcare so I have plenty of time and energy to spend with your pets and provide a fun, safe, and loving environment. I have two friendly small dogs who I take for frequent walks as we don't have a fenced in yard. Since I will be taking care of dogs outside of my home, this isn't an issue. However, it has given me plenty of dog-walking experience. I'm committed to the safety and well-being of the animals in my care.
“Daniel was a great sitter for my house and dogs while I was away. When I got home, one of my dogs didn’t want him to leave so I think they had a wonderful time. Would recommend his services to anyone in need.”
“We are so happy to have found David to care for our animals on our week long trip! It was our first time using Rover and we have 6 indoor animals so it’s a lot. David stayed at our house with them and took great care of the animals and our home. We felt totally confident in our animals being cared for while we were away for so long. Thankful to have a great reliable animal sitter in our lives now!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 16 but I've been around animals since I can remember. I've been around all types of dogs, cats and even bearded dragon lizards! Im great at giving puppies the exercise they need to remain stimulated and entertained. Your animals are in good hands.💕 My job schedule shifts and changes a lot but i am typically 7:00am-3:30pm. This changes pretty often. For drop-in visits I typically check on my clients pets as soon as I'm up, before i head to work, and after work depending on what I discuss with my client. I'm completely off on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm typically very free on Saturdays. On days that I'm off I drop in when I wake up, noon, and in the evening. I can pretty much walk at any time as long as I'm not at work. For house sitting, it all depends on what I discuss with my client cause I'm pretty close to anyone I house sit for, so unless it's requested, I typically sleep in my own bed. I will always walk dogs on leashes with no exception. If for some reason your dog isnt used to walking on a leash I can train them to no problem. Unless the dog is older I prefer crating them or keeping them in a contained space at night or when I'm away.
About: Hello! I have taken care of pets, either for family or friends or even neighbors for about 11-12 years! I’m very passionate about dogs specifically and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently going to COS, so i’ll have plenty of times to play with your dogs. I’m completely free on the weekends, and free tuesday and thursday after 1, and free after 3 on monday, wednesday and fridays! I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of toys. I have a patient and exciting attitude and can’t wait to play with your pups!
About: I have worked in animal care for the past 3 years (doggy daycare/lodging) and I have had many of my own fur babies. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes❤️ I am currently working part time at a cat and dog boarding facility in Fresno and am very on top of keeping my schedule available. I will love on your animal with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and caring. I love having the opportunity through Rover to meet new pups! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
About: Where I live, I am not able to have pets. (English bulldogs are my favorites! I know all about their special needs having been owned by them before.) But I love animals, have been a dog and cat owner in the past and have fur-babysat for many friends, family and acquaintances for many years. I give good ear and belly rubs, am able to walk dogs and send you pictures. I follow instructions well, can administer medication and pick up after pets diligently. Can give generous treats or few, as directed. I am comfortable with multiple animals. I know the value of making sure water bowls are full, animals aren't overheated or left out in the cold and clients feel confident about their property & pet care. I have watched all sizes, from dachshunds to St. Bernards. I do not have allergies. I am responsive to messages, usually have a flexible schedule and pride myself on good service. Every animal has their own personality. They all appreciate the comfort of their own home, though. My daily schedule is working in an office from 7:30-4:30. I am available most afternoons and evenings for walks, possible animal and house-sitting many weekends. Since I am not able to own pets in the home I rent, your animals would have all my attention. I would Not take on multiple jobs or agree to more than I could handle. Your fur babies are your priority and taking good care of them is mine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Home Garden
Madison did a great job looking after my cat, Harvey. Before the booking she made sure to ask informed questions about Harvey’s needs to better care for him and during the booking she kept in touch with regular pictures. Harvey seemed to really enjoy her company and I would 100% recommend Madison to anyone looking for house sitting for their pet. She was respectful of my home and most importantly treated Harvey as one of her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 422 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Home Garden. 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 Home Garden 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 Home Garden 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 Home Garden 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 Home Garden. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
