“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’ve grew up with more than 12 dogs in the last 10 years. I have years of experience with taking care of dogs and cats! I’ve also taken care of family pets as well, helping out with dog sitting and walks as well! I’m an Animal Science major, so I’m always handling and providing on hands care for small and large animals! My days are always clear and open so I have plenty of time to care for you pets and make sure that they give the love and care they need! I also I have a clean and fenced yard, and a friendly pup and cat to keep your pup company! She needs some time to warm up but she loves making friends after she’s comfortable, as she is a rescue dog! I love to keep my home clean not only for others and myself but my the animals as well! A clean environment is one of my top priorities when caring for these animals! I have lots of dog treats, toys, and activities so your pup is never bored! I love going on walks and runs everyday, so I would love to bring your pup on a nice run or walk or even to the dog park!
“Great communication and our pup seemed happy when we came home! She stayed over night, and the house was clean when we returned home. She came and met with us and our pup before the date of sitting just to make sure it was a good fit. Awesome overall!! I would recommend to anyone!”
“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”
About: I grew up having always at least two dogs at a time. I raised a few puppies my self, which are now very well behaved and the most loving dogs. Growing up, we were breeding grate Danes, what makes me very experienced with large dogs. I am honest, reliable and caring. Every dog needs a different kind of attention, and I will get to know your dog very well and give him the attention and exercise he/she needs. At the moment, I have two dogs myself, Lucy and Rue, both Australian stumpy tail cattle dogs with tons of energy. Hire me and your dog will be a happy and relaxed dog when you come back from your trip! My availability is pretty flexible - so just hit me up and let me know what your needs are, I can make most schedules work. I have a fenced yard but am a big advocate for long walks around the neighborhood! Inside the house I’ll provide individual care - every pet is different!
About: Ive been around horses, goats, dogs, cats, and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for animals of all kinds! I love each of my pets like family and can’t wait to give yours the same care, attention, and affection! I currently work full time in healthcare, but I would love to take care of your pets in my free time! 2-3 days a week fits my schedule perfectly! 🥰 I have a fenced yard and constantly pay attention to my animals to make sure they’re safe and happy. No pet should be unhappy!
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.
About: I have had many different animals throughout my life; cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, ducks, hamsters. I love animals and I believe they deserve to be treated with love and respect. I have experience with a variety of dogs breeds and I am happy to accommodate you and your animals and whatever you may need! I am a full time teacher and mom to a human and a mini dachshund named Penny! I am looking to help out other pet parents on the weekends and in the evenings when I am able to! I am limited on my ability to bring your animal to my apartment but I am more than willing to come to your pet, or take them out to the park to get some energy out. I am happy to work with you and your needs as best as I can!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years. I have two dogs, a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Maltese. They showed me responsibility and patience. I have a flexible schedule. I am available at any time of the week, given I have a lot of free time. I can watch your pet as early as seven am. I will hang out with them if they want to relax or sleep. I’ll be delighted to keep them entertained if they want to play. I also will make sure they won’t break anything when I’m caring for them.
About: I don’t just watch pets, I build trust with them. By learning their routines and personalities, I create a calm, familiar experience that keeps them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I plan my weekly schedule around the pets in my care to ensure I can meet their specific needs—whether that’s regular walks, medication timing, feeding routines, or extra attention. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and owners can rely on dependable care. At this time, I offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home. While I’m not able to host pets in my own space, I’ve found that staying in their home keeps them more relaxed and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routine, meals, walks, playtime, and any special care so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re gone.
About: (Provided details for breeds of pets I cannot watch at the bottom) (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Dog breeds I cannot watch in my home are pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, chow chows, and wolf hybrids. This is just part of the navy’s housing policies. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.
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.

“Emily was great! She treated my Tj like her own. I felt very comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. Emily's communication was great and she sent photos of my dog regularly.”
“Jessica is very nice and polite. She watched our pets, 1 small dog and 2 cats for 4 days. She stayed at our house during this time. When we returned home, the house was clean and the pets were happy and healthy. Thank you Jessica for doing a great job. We have her booked for future trips.”
“We are thrilled with the amazing job Frankie did while taking care of our dog, Mochi. From the moment we met Frankie, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. Throughout the entire time, she was incredibly caring and attentive to Mochi’s needs. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Mochi was in good hands. Mochi absolutely loved her, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. We highly recommend Frankie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate puppy sitter. Thank you, Frankie, for your outstanding service!”
“Andrew was great! He was very flexible on timing and was able to come early when our schedule changed. He took great care of our pets and left our house spotless. Will book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Home Garden
I needed a pet sitter extremely last minute and Macie was available and did so so well with my very anxious dog! She communicated well and kept me well updated and got her to relax which is hard to do with strangers. Will definitely booking with her again!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Home Garden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 420 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 , 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.

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.
