Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!

Karla has been the perfect match for our dogs. She gave us some excellent advice on dealing with behavior issues with one of of our dogs and it's made such a difference.

Kayla was very sweet and sent us lots of pics of our pups. They seemed to really enjoy her being with them while we were away. Having two older dogs I always get nervous when we leave, but felt comfortable with them in her care. We will be booking Kayla again for future trips.

From the moment Scooter met Bradley it was a match made in heaven. Scoot doesn’t take to everyone but he immediately got up on the couch next to Bradley and cuddled in next to him and just relaxed. He nearly fell asleep he was so at ease with Bradley. That was pure trust. Bradley is the Dog Whisperer. I had zero concerns and also felt at ease leaving our home and our beloved dog in Bradley’s care. We actually had to extend our stay away for an additional 2 days and we’re relieved we could rely on Bradley. He sent me photos each day and commented on his well being. I think Scooter had such a good time, I’m not sure he has missed us!

Just moved to the area and was fortunate to find Zoe to house sit for us during a short trip. Professional, sweet, kind and a great communicator. She left our home clean and our pets well cared for. We hope to have Zoe sit for us in the future.

I was so nervous to leave Gus for the first time. From the moment I met Brooke, I felt at ease. She is such a fun, friendly, honest person. She went above and beyond for Gus and I was so relieved. She sent pics while we were away which helped so much. Now she feels like one of the family!

About: I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I'm naturally patient and enjoy taking the time to get to know each dog's personality and comfort level. I also have experience caring for a dog with extreme anxiety, so I'm comfortable providing extra reassurance, sticking to routines, and creating a calm environment. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring hands. I currently work part-time, with shifts typically lasting 6–7 hours in either the morning or evening. As a pet owner myself, I'm experienced in balancing work and providing attentive care. I prioritize making sure all pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and TLC, and I plan my schedule accordingly to ensure they're well cared for while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore. I also have two dogs and two cats who are friendly, well-socialized, and get along well with other animals. There is a quiet park near my home that I usually bring my dogs to walk. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels at home.

About: I grew up closely involved with many kinds of animals and have always been a lover of nature and wildlife. Along with numerous family pets, we often fostered cats and dogs, as well as newborn kittens and puppies. In high school, I spent over a year volunteering for the Animal Welfare League in Port Charlotte, FL, caring for cats and dogs of many varieties. I currently have 4 cats of my own, all rescues which I love dearly! It would be an honor for you to trust me with the care of your pet, and I guarantee that I will love and care for them as if they were my own. I have experience with providing cats with basic, routine medical treatments such as pills, topicals, and injections. Communication is important to me, and I will gladly provide you with any updates or answer any questions you may have while I'm looking after your home or pet. I'm currently seeking more self-employment opportunities, so my availability for daily or weekly sitting services is completely open! If you're looking for regular walks/visits, we can work together to schedule according to your pet's needs. You can rely on me to treat your home and pets with integrity and respect. Ensuring the comfort and safety of your animals is my top priority! I will listen to your unique needs and concerns, and provide attentive care.

Bethany was amazing with our Boxer and two cats. Not only did they accommodate our last minute booking, but she kept us up to date with txt and pictures every time she stopped over. We would definitely book with Bethany again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Homeland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,084 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 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 Homeland. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
