“Meredith took such great care of my pets while I was away! I came home to a clean space with all four fur babies happy, healthy, and chilling. She provided regular updates and photos while I was away. I highly recommend booking Meredith for your pet care needs, five star experience”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including my Yorkie puppy and several senior cats. I provide daily attention, training, exercise, and care for medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with skittish, anxious, or energetic pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and consistency. Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family, and I’m committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent care, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My main commitments are taking my daughter to and from school, appointments, and interviews, but I plan my time carefully to ensure pets always receive the care and supervision they need. I enjoy creating a reliable, loving routine for every animal I care for. I care for pets with attention, consistency, and compassion, whether in my home or the client’s home. I provide feeding, exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to each pet’s needs. For pets with medical or behavioral needs, I follow specific instructions carefully, administer medications if required, and monitor their health and well-being closely. I ensure their environment is safe, clean, and comfortable, and I give them plenty of love and attention so they feel secure and happy while in my care.
“Breana has watched Arrow for me two weekends and has been excellent! Loving all the pics and videos! She accommodated a last minute add on day so very much appreciate that. Will book with her as long as she’d like to keep coming!”
About: I enjoy house and pet sitting because it combines several things I value: caring for animals, experiencing new communities, and having the flexibility to work remotely while providing a valuable service to homeowners. As I continue building my consulting business, I have the freedom to work from different locations, which makes house sitting a natural fit. Rather than staying in hotels, I enjoy the opportunity to become part of a neighborhood, maintain a comfortable routine, and care for a home as if it were my own. I've always appreciated the companionship that pets provide and understand how important it is for them to maintain their routines while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply spending time together, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I also understand the trust homeowners place in someone who is caring for both their pets and their home. I take that responsibility seriously and pride myself on being dependable, respectful, and attentive to details. For me, house and pet sitting is a win-win arrangement. Homeowners can travel with peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in good hands, and I have the opportunity to help others while experiencing new places in a meaningful and responsible way. I work remotely as a business consultant, and my schedule is quite flexible. I'm typically up around 6am for some exercise and walking, and then start working around 9am. During my morning routine and work, I take care of the pets I'm watching, give them their food, and take them on their walks. I usually do the same around noon, and once again in the late afternoon or early evening. Since I work remote, I can adjust my schedule to the needs of the pets that I am watching. I believe in safety first. Therefore, I usually keep all dogs on a leash when walking and avoid contact with other animals unless specifically requested by a pet owner. I feed all pets per the schedule I'm provided and like to play as much as each pet enjoys. My record for fetch is over one hour with a golden retriever. I've also watched cats, chickens, and birds.
About: I’ve always had a big love for dogs and grew up with them my whole life. I have two dogs of my own and have always loved dog sitting for friends and family. I’m caring, patient, and love making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I’d love to spend more time doing what I love while gaining experience working with animals. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies! I currently have an open schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care. I’m available for sitting and drop ins throughout the week and on weekends. I have two friendly dogs at home but they are not as friendly with other dogs, so I provide care in the client’s home rather than boarding. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine and needs and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Had great communication with Cara throughout our trip. She took care of them and carefully listened to our instructions. The dogs approved of her and that was the big thing!!! She did a great job and will use her in the future again.”

“It was great to know my dog was well taken care of and that even though I was from out of town, I found someone so trustworthy! Morgan stayed at my house for a few nights and left the house spotless! If you are in Sedona for a short time and don’t want your dog to bake in the sun, know that Morgan will take great care of your dog!”
“Mike took great care of our dog, cat, fish and home over the holidays! He asked great questions ahead of time, and checked in with me daily while we were away to let me know how everyone was doing. Our elderly dog was perfectly calm when we got home, so I know he felt loved and safe while we were away.”
About: Hi, my name is Kelly, and my husband, Dahl, and I will both be primary dog watchers. I work from home full-time, and he works from home part time. Our young girls, Lily and Rosie, and our nanny, Nancy, will also be interacting with your dogs on a regular basis. They are sweet, calm girls who love dogs and do very well with them. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, since I work from home, so someone is here almost all of the time. We have watched many dogs for friends over the years, and this seemed like a great way to expand on that. I love dogs, and my favorite dog- sitting experience was when my neighbor needed someone to watch her puppy during the day while she worked. I picked him up in the morning and dropped him off at night. I helped train him and just loved on him all day. I was a second mom to him, and we still get very excited to see each other. I often watch him when his parents are out of town now. My husband had a dog for 9 years growing up, and also loves dogs. We are so excited to meet your fur-babies!! I work full-time from home so we will be available to care for your pets day and night. We have a fenced off backyard with an entire section dedicated to the dogs we watch. We have a fenced in backyard with a fenced in pool and often walk around our neighborhood and to the local park. We can watch dogs from multiple families at a time as long as the families approve and both dogs are good with other dogs. We do this on a case by case basis.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Humboldt
We took a last minute trip over the holidays and Kitty was more than flexible to accommodate us and stay with the boys at the house. Chip and Jordy had a great time with her and were really mellow when we returned home. We always are relaxed on our trips when we know Kitty is taking care of them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Humboldt 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 Humboldt 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Humboldt 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
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.
