“As usual, Christina came and went… and left our lives better! The pups adore her, we completely love and trust her. So communicative throughout the stay. All is right when she comes to stay and play!”
About: I grew up around pets and have loved them ever since. I have raised multiple litters of puppies and kittens. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages ranging from 2 weeks to 12 years! I can provide crate training, can administer oral medication, as well as give eye drops and use topical medications, I also have experience with bathing both dogs and cats. I’m currently in college and only go on Tuesday's and thursdays from 9am -4 pm I have pretty flexible hours so just message me and we can work something out! I promise to keep your pet(s) in safe and loving hands! Potty breaks always come first, along with any other specific instructions such as feeding, filling water bowls, administering medications, etc. Me and your pet can play, cuddle, go for walks, or I can just be there to keep them company while they do their own thing. Whatever it is, I’m there to care!
About: I have plenty of experience with various types of pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits, parrots, and fish. You name it and I can do it 😉 I also have experience administering medications to any of those fur babies above, as long as there is a walk through and I can see how the animal behaves when it is done so I know how to handle the situation. I am enrolled in college which means my schedule changes my semester. It is easiest that I am in home pet sitting if your babies require more attention. If not I am able to drop in mornings, evenings, and some afternoons depending on the circumstances. I am able to feed, water, and clean up after them on a daily basis and work around schedules if there are some issues. If in home care is what you want, I will be in a decent amount because of school and family, but if talked to early enough, we can arrange something to be more consistent 😊 As of right now I own 1 cat, 1 sun conure, 2 holland lops, and a doberman, and many more family pets as well. So I am very comfortable being around animals, but because I have so many in my own home, I am not able to offer in home care at my house, but more than open to in any clients home. Throughout my whole life, I have been surrounded by many types of animals and grew up learning how to take care of them. From cats to dogs, to parrots, bunnies, and family friends chickens, reptiles (no spiders please 😬) I am more than open to learning even more if needed! Schedules feedings and potty breaks, play time, cuddles, all available ☺️
“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”
“Alexandra did a great job housesitting and watching our boys. She sent pictures all that time which we loved and kept us updated on the boys throughout the days. We will definitely rebook with her soon!!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with our Toby. He can be a real pill but she knew how to care for him. I would never have known by his behavior that we were gone almost 2 weeks. She was punctual and handled a medical situation with him very appropriately. I will definitely hire her again. Oh and the house was spotless and even clean sheets for two weary travelers. Thanks again.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even fish. I truly adore all of them, and I treat each one with the same love and attention I would give my own. From energetic puppies to older cats with specific needs, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. I’ve handled feeding routines, medication schedules, daily walks, playtime, and quiet companionship, always making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I’ve also maintained fish tanks and feeding are kept on schedule. I’m committed to giving pets the same level of care and love they get from their owners. I’m available for pet care Monday through Friday, with the exception of 7:30 a.m to 8:30 a.m during weekdays while I take my kids to school and 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, as I have class. I also have two kids, so while I’m open to evening visits after 5 p.m. and on weekends, they would need to come with me. As long as that’s okay with you and your pet, I’m happy to help during those times too! I’m flexible and always aim to make things work for both you and your animals. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel most comfortable and secure. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or crate cleaning, and any special instructions like medications or favorite activities. Keeping your fur baby in their familiar environment helps reduce stress while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
“She was wonderful at the meet and greet, and I will certainly use her in the future. My family came down with Covid and it was unavoidable that I will have to reschedule to another time to go home.”
“We recently had Christopher stay with our two French bulldogs for 7 days, and he did a great job. It looks like he followed our guidelines; he sent just enough pictures, and when we were quiet for a few days, I reached out, and he always responded quickly. The pups seemed good when we got home. Even the mail lady said he was really nice. We would definitely invite him back.”
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was young. I started by working at local animal shelters and now offer more personalized animal care! I’ve fostered and worked with all kinds of animals of all sizes, ages, and needs! I am a student which allows my schedule to be super flexible. I work within your schedule to guarantee the most convenient care for your pet! I do not own any pets myself so there’s no issues with other animals when your pet is in my care. Additionally, I have a lot of experience with pet care including cleaning, medications, and training.
“We have a 3 legged dog who is very nervous, and not trusting of new people, he took to Dylan right away. Or other dog has medical problems and Dylan was able to apply her medicine and able to handle her without hurting her back. Dylan is very caring. We were also able to pay him to take us back and forth to airport, it was so convenient”
About: Animals have pretty much always been a part of my life! I grew up always having an animal in the home, and most people who know me jokingly describe my house as a zoo. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and a fish tank, so caring for animals is genuinely just part of my everyday life. I also spent two years working at Petco, where I got hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including reptiles, birds, fish, and small animals. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently working as a substitute teacher so I can come by before school and after school so think anytime before 7:30 and after 3pm. I also babysit part time so my scheudle can be a little busy. I’m happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for you and your family. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they’re in a safe and secure environment at all times. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. 🐾❤️
About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Horstville. 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 Horstville 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 Horstville 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 Horstville 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.
