“Great communication! Meredith did a great job taking care of my pets. She left my home cleaner than she found it. She provided great pictures. Highly recommend her.”
“We loved having Aydan watch our pups! She was so communicative and thoughtful, sending lots of pictures and check-ins while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing our boys were in good hands and getting lots of love and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter for their fur babies!”
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!”
“Wow!! Jennifer is the best house/dog sitter I have ever used. She messaged us with pics and videos of Molly (our dog) once or twice every day and let us know how she was doing. I could see that she paid a lot of attention to Molly. Molly is a little older and recently had a seizure so she takes a couple medications twice a day, which was no issue for Jennifer. When we got home, Molly seemed very relaxed like she had a great week. The house was immaculate, and the sheets she used were washed and waiting for us in the dryer even though we didn't expect that. I'm really impressed and I'm not easily impressed. Thank you Jennifer and Molly thanks you too!!!!”
About: I’ve recently been able to manage 4 dogs who had to be separated by twos in separate rooms. This was probably one of my most difficult tasks to handle, it was 2 frenchies and then my regular dogs I dog sit for. I ran into a few problems, throwing up in the house, not eating, struggling to separate them at times and not being able to get them into their crates. But eventually I was able to manage a certain style to it. So currently I am enrolled fully at Embry Riddle as a freshman. I am also in AFROTC. But I can be flexible with my schedule in mornings, after 9:15. My Thursdays are open because I have no classes. I am not available mid-day throughout the week unless it’s Thursday. Wednesday will probably be a no go, unless it’s in the morning, 9:15-11 or late afternoon, 7-9:30. Weekends just let me know in advanced and we can communicate on that, just so I don’t plan to go anywhere. Since I am in college pets can’t be at my dorm at all. Usually in the clients home it depends on their needs for the pets. Does the pet need walks, do I need to let the dog out to go to the bathroom, is the pet on a specific food schedule/diet, or does the pet just need love when the owner is at work for long periods at a time?
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.
“Kelly was awesome with Jax. She really connected to him and gave him lots of love. I’m not sure he missed me at all. She also kept the house clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Kelly for pet sitting.”
About: I have taken care of my own puppies and neighbor dogs. On top of being in a grooming career for the past 11 years. I really love and enjoy being in the company of doggies. I am almost always grooming, or helping others take care of their animals. I really enjoy caring for, and cuddling them and make it a priority. I have a big nice yard and plenty of space in my house for all of your puppies to receive the best quality of care.
“Anna took outstanding care of our three kitties while we were on vacation and our home was perfect upon our return. She sent frequent updates with pictures of our fur babies playing and being their goofy selves. The communication was excellent which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. Highly recommend her friendly, professional service.”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life, beginning with a family pack of German Shepherd siblings (see photo). Over the years, I've worked with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments and personalities—including seniors, sensitive animals, pets with anxiety or special needs, and some less-typical companions. My approach is attentive and individualized. I respect the routines and training you've established while tuning in to your animal's behavior, body language and energy—learning what helps them feel safe, understood and genuinely cared for while you're away. If I do my job right, within the first few hours they're settling back into their normal beat. And when you come home, they may be delightfully underwhelmed by your return! Animal communication is a core interest in my life and work, and I'm currently completing additional training in small-animal massage and bodywork. I also offer energy work. These aren't requirements for good pet sitting, of course, but they inform my dedication to an animal's comfort and care. I'm primarily between Sedona, AZ and Southern Maine. I travel for select longer-term destination sits. My flexible schedule allows me to spend meaningful time at home with the animals—getting to know them and loving them up—rather than constantly coming and going. At heart, I'm an animal advocate. Everything I do is rooted in creating greater safety, trust and understanding between animals and the people who love them. I believe they deserve partners and allies who are present, aware, accepting and loving. I'm happy to provide references from private clients and would love to connect to see if we're a good fit. My schedule is flexible. I generally work at “home” so am able to spend a lot of time with your pet, letting them know that you’ve made sure they are taken care of after the suitcases are out the door. If we're newly connecting, I like to start with a call or video chat and then a home visit, to make sure we are a good fit. And chat about your pet's needs, preferences and schedule.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Humboldt is $50
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
As of November 2026, there are 151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Humboldt. 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 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.
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 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 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.

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.
