“I didn't know anyone could be so amazing. Thank you Rebecca. You kept me informed every day. I received wonderful pictures. My pups love you. :) I'm always leery of starting with a new sitter but I was out of options and you worked out great. You are my number one go-to.”
“Stacey did an amazing job! From the moment we met her, we could see how much she genuinely loves animals, and we knew our fur babies would be in great hands. She communicated with us throughout the weekend, keeping us updated on how everything was going and sending lots of wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Without a doubt, Stacey is the best sitter we've had. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets!”
“Madelyn came to our home to care for our new puppy while we were out of town. We've never had an in-home sitter and can't say enough positive comments about Madelyn and this experience! She was exceptionally communicative throughout the weekend with numerous updates and pictures. Madelyn clearly has a love of animals that shows in her care and interactions. We highly recommend Madelyn to help you care for your pets when you're away! She will definitely be the first one we contact if we are in need of an in-home pet sitter again!”
“Jayne is a awesome pet sitter. She is easy to adapt to changes and my dog loved her!! She left my house clean and sent me pictures of my puppy while I was away!! I will definitely use her again!!!”
“Mercedes was absolutely incredible as our house and dog sitter. From the moment we left, we felt at ease knowing everything was in capable hands. She took amazing care of our home and our dogs. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it. Mercedes kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant so much and really helped us relax while we were away. We had a great experience and will 100% be asking Mercedes again in the future. Highly recommend her.”
“I can’t recommend Alexa enough! We were already out of state when a severe snowstorm was forecasted. She ended up staying snowed in at our house for several days to take care of our pets. My pets love her, even my very shy cat! I really appreciate how great she is at communicating. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and made sure to let me know her plans and timing. On top of everything, she left the house in fantastic condition. I’m so thankful for her and would absolutely trust her with my pets again.”
“Connor did a great job in getting Bella comfortable with him for his first sit. He sent photos daily, promptly answered my messages and left the house in excellent condition. I will use his service again.”
“Arisha is absolutely amazing. She was an excellent communicator, sending pictures and updates regularly. She was so sweet to all the animals, even trying to make progress with a very reluctant cat. She took great care of the house as well. I felt so calm knowing she was treating my fur babies like they were her own. She will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“Amy does a fantastic job caring for both our babies. We’ve had her watch my bully breed dog and our kitten a couple of times now with no issues so we can enjoy our trips without worry. Would recommend for anyone who wants to ensure their pets are not only safe, but loved.”
“This was our first time using Luis, while we were out of town for 4 days. Luis kept to the schedule we have for our dog and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the day. Will definitely as Luis to sit for us in the future.”
“Gabbi did a wonderful job for us. She's responsible and conscientious and loved on our pup so well that when we returned home, the sad story our dog gave us was very short compared to other times we've had to leave her. That alone, made us feel so relieved knowing she was so well cared for. We will definitely be using Gabbi and her services again!”
“I would highly recommend Michelle. Michelle took care of both of my dogs over the weekend, and she did an excellent job. They were happy and well cared for when I returned.”
“Louann took great care of our little guy, Max! She spent plenty of time with him in the morning and evening to hang out and give him the chance to eat and have potty breaks. Great job, Louann! ”
“Monique was awesome spending time with Cosmo. He warmed up to her relatively quickly even though he is pretty ornery. She was also very understanding when my travel changed last minute due to a flight cancellation. I will be reaching out to Monique for future trips to stay with my little man.”
“Amy was phenomenal dealing with our many animals and our home. She is kind, caring, and thoughtful. All of my animals were extremely comfortable with her and I felt confident going on vacation with them in her care.”
“Izzy watched our herd while we were out of the country for a week. She was great! The dogs and cats were happy and the house was perfect when we got back. We will of course rebook with her in the future.”
“Jane took great care of our pets. She kept us updated on our cats health as he’s been experiencing medical complications. She let our aging Doodle cuddle with her. We were very fortunate that she was able to support our last minute request due to the medical issues that popped up right before our trip.”
“The boys absolutely LOVED her and I also got lots of comfort with cute videos and pictures of the boys! Scooby says 100/10 best play mate and Prince says 100/10 best snuggles! Thank you!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Howe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,295 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Howe. 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 Howe 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 Howe 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 Howe 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 Howe. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
