About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 16 but I've been around animals since I can remember. I've been around all types of dogs, cats and even bearded dragon lizards! Im great at giving puppies the exercise they need to remain stimulated and entertained. Your animals are in good hands.💕 My job schedule shifts and changes a lot but i am typically 7:00am-3:30pm. This changes pretty often. For drop-in visits I typically check on my clients pets as soon as I'm up, before i head to work, and after work depending on what I discuss with my client. I'm completely off on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm typically very free on Saturdays. On days that I'm off I drop in when I wake up, noon, and in the evening. I can pretty much walk at any time as long as I'm not at work. For house sitting, it all depends on what I discuss with my client cause I'm pretty close to anyone I house sit for, so unless it's requested, I typically sleep in my own bed. I will always walk dogs on leashes with no exception. If for some reason your dog isnt used to walking on a leash I can train them to no problem. Unless the dog is older I prefer crating them or keeping them in a contained space at night or when I'm away.

“I was extremely nervous about leaving my pets with someone I didn't know, but Sophia took such great care of them. She sent lots of updates and pictures which really made me feel better knowing my pets were safe and happy. She even took my dog for a walk. I would 100% book her again and be comfortable knowing my babies are in good hands”

About: I have a chiwennie dog who loves swimming and going on walks with me. I love being active while giving unconditional love to my pup. I am a gymnastics coach, who has a very flexible schedule. Walking dogs will be a great way to fill my time while being outside of the gym. I give my dog lots of attention and love daily. I frequently give her baths and take her on walks. We also spend time together in the pool and at parks. As for my cats I love spending time with, cuddling, and caring for, which has given me experience with a variety of pet personalities and needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, especially bully breeds, and have been the go-to friend to watch and walk neighbors, family and friends pets for well over a decade. Your furry babies become family with me! I’m currently waiting to start a new job, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Whether it be early morning walks, afternoon snuggles or late night potty runs, I’ll be there! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, including bully breeds and active, working breeds, and would love the opportunity to help take care of your furry loved ones :) It’s ruff having your owners away! I’ll go wherever your pet is most comfortable and follow whatever instructions left to help your pet stick to his or her usual routine to reduce anxiety and tension.
“It’s wonderful knowing we can leave for an extended vacation and our pups are being well cared for. They are used to company during the day and we love knowing they are not lonely when we’re gone.”


About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.

“Madison did a great job looking after my cat, Harvey. Before the booking she made sure to ask informed questions about Harvey’s needs to better care for him and during the booking she kept in touch with regular pictures. Harvey seemed to really enjoy her company and I would 100% recommend Madison to anyone looking for house sitting for their pet. She was respectful of my home and most importantly treated Harvey as one of her own.”

“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”

About: Hello! I have taken care of pets, either for family or friends or even neighbors for about 11-12 years! I’m very passionate about dogs specifically and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently going to COS, so i’ll have plenty of times to play with your dogs. I’m completely free on the weekends, and free tuesday and thursday after 1, and free after 3 on monday, wednesday and fridays! I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of toys. I have a patient and exciting attitude and can’t wait to play with your pups!
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. She was available for a last minute booking and was very good with the animals and keeping us up to date with good communication. She is very clean and responsible. We will def book with her again.”

About: (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.
About: I absolutely love animals. I have many pets myself and they keep me busy and happy. I used to work with a vet in Visalia. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. I'm very active with pets and I'm open to all sorts of sizes of dogs. I'm very responsible and caring. I'll treat your pet as I do mine, like family and with care and respect. More about me: I'm a graduate of Mt. Whitney High School and a student of Porterville College. I love music and being active outside with my friends and going on walks with my dogs. I have experience owning and caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents. Thank you for considering me as your Rover pet sitter😁 I am currently available in Visalia from 5-8 & 12-3 and Lemoore from 4-8. I am always available for all holidays as well. I treat all pets with care, kindness, and respect. I love animals and their safety and trust is a top priority. Not only do they need to be safe but they need to feel safe, so I can be there during scary times for your pet, such as New Year's Eve and 4th of July 🎇
About: Working remotely I give your pets the care and love that they deserve. More hugs! More walks! More love! More safety! In rural vt I cared for small and large homes, and medium to larger dogs. Active pets I am active. Older pets and I respite with them more. Every animal has a different personality and different needs. I care. They seem to know. lol. On a side note I volunteer with a local animal shelter and a food bank. I try to make a difference where I can. Growing up we had family dogs. It taught me how amazing animals are. I now have time to give them kindness and love as you would... When I stay in your home your pets have less stress and anxiety in a familiar place. In my home or yours, I take pets for walks and caring play time throughout my workday. This care and attention and play reduces stress and your pet may be more relaxed coming home like after a day at the spa. Yup. :-) Working from my home or yours means more care for your loved family member (aka pets)!

About: My name is Ash and I am an Eagle Scout who loves animals. I've always had a way with animals and showing them love, comfort, and support. I guarantee your dog will be cared as if he/she were my dog. I will be your dogs best friend and your dog will be happy and satisfied like you will during my services ☺. What I've also enjoyed about animals (especially dogs) is their instinct to give and receive love to humans as we do to them. They're such admirable and loveable animals. Which is one of the reasons I got into this profession and love working with animals. With me, your dog will be happy and excited!
About: I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs both large and small. I enjoy going on walks and giving dogs all my attention. I'm also great at sneaking medication in with a treat if needed!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hub
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 616 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hub. 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 Hub 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 Hub 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 Hub 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 Hub. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
