I have a full time job during the week but my weekends are available for you at your home is the best for ne I have pet friendly dogs and two cats in my home. But I’d prefer to be in your home until I get mine set up.
About: I love to being active and outdoors with my animals, every day is an adventure they deserve to enjoy! I have lots of toys and treats available for their needs too! I work in a restaurant working night shifts, so I am available in the mornings and afternoon for walks, check ins, play dates, feedings whatever you need! I love accessing local parks or private nature areas for dog walks away from cars and traffic so they can enjoy nature without the distractions and dangers of busy areas, I can handle any dog with confidence and care, they will always be treated like my own!
About: (ADDITIONAL DOG RATE IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT IS LISTED) I truly treat every dog like my own, with patience, consistency, and love. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and even anxious pups who don’t usually warm up to others. I’m calm and confident around dogs that might seem nervous or reactive, and I take the time to earn their trust at their pace. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a student who takes mostly online classes, which means my schedule is super flexible and I’m home a lot. That gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and just being present with your pups. I love building a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. Whether that’s early morning walks, afternoon cuddles, or bedtime check-ins. Your pets will never feel rushed or overlooked! Whether I’m watching your pets in my home or yours, I always keep their comfort and routine a top priority. I live in a one story home with a huge backyard and pool, perfect for exercise, potty breaks, and a little fun between naps! I do prefer staying at your home so your dog is never stressed.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many animals. I have 7 doggies and 2 cats most of them being rescues. I occasionally dog sit for my neighbors. I’m currently working a part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your fur baby! I am available any day of the week. I do not plan to board any animals just to be safe because I have too many doggies at home. but I love every dog like it’s my own and will make sure I am there for all its needs.
About: I have always had a family pet for as long as I could remember. My family and friends have relied on me to care for their loved animals. Allow me to do the same and have peace of mind while you are away. I am a stay at home mom to a 6 month old daughter. Our days consist of many walks, so your dog would we well exercised and cared for while you are away I have a fenced in yard for your dog to go out for a quick potty break if needed. I do have two cats that can be put in a separate room if needed.
“Jaclyn was awesome! She was caring, attentive and loving with our 2 boys Teddy & Murphy in an our home while we were away! She communicated with us throughout her stay, send pics and videos! We are so happy and grateful to have found Jaclyn and we know our boys are in great hands! We look forward to our next adventure and knowing our boys are safe and sound and happy!!”
About: Personalized care, a safe environment, and lots of love and attention to each pet. Inc walks, treats, updates/pictures and an eased mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies. Pet sitting fits into my daily life by integrating pet care tasks like feeding, walking, and playtime into your regular schedule, providing companionship and ensuring their well-being while their owners are away. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, ensure their basic needs are met with regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and bathroom breaks. Maintain a safe and clean environment, follow any specific instructions from the owner, and provide plenty of attention and affection to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog. I currently do visits to the dogs place of residence and I accommodate whatever the particular dog is accustomed to in a loving way. It is very important to me that the dog feels comfortable where they're at as well as with me. This hasn't ever been an issue.
“Great job! Icealin paid attention to all the details, making sure the house was taken care of too, not just the pooch. I came back from holiday travel and blizzards everywhere, and all was well.”
“Coreena was great ! Did a wonderful job Pets and housesitting. We have multiple rescue pets some with illness and meds. We were comforted that Coreena could care for our animals because she is a vet tech. Not having to board them is such a relief! Our Rescues do not do well with boarding due to anxiety and past experiences. Highly recommend Coreena and will be rehired for future pet and housesitting needs.”
About: I have cared for many different types of dogs since I was young. I genuinely enjoy the connection animals share with us, and I am passionate about providing them with attentive, loving care. If you need care during the weekdays, I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your needs. On weekends, I am fully available and can provide flexible care to ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big responsibility. My top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive supervision, reliable communication, and structured walks to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and supported at all times.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with pets who need extra care and attention. I cared for my dog Maya, who was blind and diabetic, and I was responsible for administering her insulin and making sure she stayed safe, comfortable, and happy. I also cared for my soul dog Marcello, who developed anxiety in his later years and needed patience, consistency, and a calm environment. Both of my dogs were seniors who lived long, full lives (15 and 17), so I’m very comfortable with senior care, medication routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also fostered multiple dogs over the years, including a puppy, so I’m familiar with different temperaments, energy levels, and basic training needs. Because I work from home, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I’ve had animals my entire life, and while I can’t have one of my own right now, caring for others’ pets truly brings me joy. I treat every animal like family and aim to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely with a great deal of flexibility! I have no set meetings or calls that would conflict with a pet care schedule and can plan accordingly to accomodate your pets needs. I am unable to take your pets to my home due to lease regulations but can come watch your animals in the comfort of your own home. I would defer yo you as the pet owner to guide me on your pets personality, likes and dislikes and get to know them to ensure top notch care!
About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can. I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hortense
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 66 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hortense. 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 Hortense 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 Hortense 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 Hortense 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
