About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked as a pet sitter for three different families. During that time, I cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, providing companionship, administering basic care, and following each family’s specific routines and instructions. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep the environment clean, provide fresh water, monitor their well-being, and give them attention. I believe clear communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit.
“My 3 dogs loved Darian! They were so glad they did not have to stay at a kennel or at home alone and that he was there at night. Darian also picked up the mail and took them for walks and gave one dog medication. I would love to have him come back and stay again!”
“Kaelyn did a fantastic job! We searched a long time to find someone we felt comfortable with to stay in our home and care for our puppy. It was such huge a relief to find Kaelyn! I was never worried during my vacation because I knew everything was in good hands! We’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Lili took great care of our two dogs and our home. She is very attentive to the dogs and they love to spend time with her. Leaving our pets when we travel is always so tough, but knowing they are being cared for by Lili has lifted a lot of worry off our mind. Thank you again, Lili!”
About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years. I have experience leash training as well as house training. I currently work a part-time serving job with very flexible hours. I have reliable transportation and can take same day appointments! I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care. As a teenager I often did house/child/pet care for people in my community. I understand that I am a guest in your space and I can promise to act with respect, kindness, and integrity as I care for what is yours.
About: I have been around pets since birth, I love all animals they have a special place in my heart. I have rescued 2 cats and grew up with all types of dogs also volunteered at various ranches to help care for animals I currently work full time but I do make my own schedule I would be happy to do everything I can to accommodate your little one’s needs I believe animal safety is of utmost importance and can guarantee your babies safety when in my care, I will always take extra precautions to ensure their happiness and safety
“Ebonnie was great with our two pups! They are a bit rambunctious and she did well with them. She kept in touch while we were away and updated us when we asked. She is respectful and sweet. I already have her booked for a trip in September!”
About: I have always grown up around animals, living on property at one with carouse types of animal, and currently have two fish and two dogs! Bringing peace of mind to owners has been my mission since I started pet sitting/walking in my own neighborhood. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! On weekends I am fully available! On weekdays I am available after 4 pm and for spending the night but not staying for the full duration of the day, but can check on them before and after my school hours. I can do early morning and late night visits!! My care of personal pets is very dependent on the learning personalities that they have. My dog scooter is very vocal when he wants to potty or eat, my dog Libby is not. I keep these things in mind and potty her even when she doesn’t ask or indicate because I know her personality. With pets I always go by the “better safe than sorry” method. Even when accidents happen, I try to never be harsh because at the end of the day they can’t use words and it’s my job to help them out.
About: Ive been dog sitting here anther for the last 2 years but I am a 3 year experienced veterinary technician. I know I can give the best care to your fur baby such as potty breaks play times making sure they are set with food and water as well as walks if needed per the owner. I’m currently working full time 3 days a week at a Veterinary Specialty ER hospital and available to care for your baby through out the week including weekends. I have a fenced yard and a lovely neighborhood to go for walks. I have a couple dogs myself to keep company and play around or I can also keep separated if owner prefers that way.
“We had a wonderful experience with Olivia taking care of our two dogs, Goofy and Nala! From start to finish, Olivia was professional, dependable, and caring. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were away. Olivia treated Goofy and Nala like they were her own, making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Not only did Olivia take excellent care of our dogs, but she also went above and beyond in taking care of our home. She took the time to Swiffer, mop, and clean up after herself and our dogs, leaving our home clean and well maintained. It was such a pleasant surprise to come home to a clean house and two happy dogs! Finding someone you can trust with both your home and your pets is extremely important, and Olivia exceeded our expectations. She is definitely someone we would gladly trust again. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and extra effort she put into everything. We would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving house sitter. Thank you, Olivia, for taking such great care of Goofy, Nala, and our home! We look forward to having you back!”

At the moment my schedule is open only during the weekdays. I’m unavailable during the weekends. Walks are good any time of day. I do prefer morning routines.

“Gabriella went above and beyond to keep my two pups happy while my husband and I traveled to Atlanta to meet our new granddaughter. She even had to clean up an ant invasion in my house! She is so sweet and really cares about the pets she has in her care. I’ll use her many times in the future and recommend her highly! Five stars!!”
“Thank you Laura!!! Always takes the best care of my sweet boy!! Gunner was still looking for her even after we got home. She is so good he sulks for several days because she is no longer here but he is actually happy we are home. Recommend her highly!!!”

Alex watched our two dogs for three nights and did a fantastic job. He was respectful, kept everything super clean, and followed our care instructions exactly. He sent photos throughout so we always knew the pups were happy and doing well, which gave us peace of mind. We felt completely comfortable leaving them with him and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!
Darian was exceptional, he thought of everything with my two big dogs that could be very intimidating. My one dog is very reserved and shy and he even won him over. They were sleeping in his bed by the end of the trip. I can’t recommend Darian enough And anytime I need a sitter. I will be calling him first.

FAQs for House Sitting - Homeland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,163 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homeland. 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 Homeland 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 Homeland 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 Homeland 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
