“Corina was absolutely wonderful with my dog Cooper. She stayed at my house while I was out of town and it was actually cleaner when I got back than it was when I left! She took him for walks daily, played fetch and spoiled him with pup cups. She made my trip so stress-free I can’t thank her enough!”
“Jamelly was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our boy, and her communication was outstanding from start to finish. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in such caring and capable hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Jamelly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. We will definitely use her again!”
“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and two cats over the weekend. She came over multiple times to let my elderly dog out to prevent accidents, took her on walks, played with my kitties, watered my plants outside, and even picked up a new container of treats for my kitties since they were running out. Will definitely book again!”
“Vanessa was great! She took care of my fur babies have if they were here own. I didn’t have the best service, but she still kept up on pics and updates for me while I was gone. My home was in the same condition I left it in! I would happily book with Vanessa again!”
About: I have always loved animals and understand the importance of treating every pet like family. Over the past four years, I have cared for dogs for family and friends by walking them, house sitting, feeding them, and making sure they received plenty of love and attention while their owners were away. Through my work as a Hospitality Aide, I have developed strong skills in responsibility, patience, and providing dependable care. I am CPR certified, reliable, and committed to following your instructions carefully so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for every time I’m with them. I have open availability and am flexible to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning, daytime, evening, weekend, or last-minute care, I’m happy to help whenever my schedule allows. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own. At home, I make sure my pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of love and attention every day. When caring for your pet, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young—I love critters of all kinds and I am willing to learn how to care for any animal who needs a companion. Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rats, fish, you name it! I have owned pets of my own since I was about 10—fish, hamsters, cats, even ant colonies and pillbugs—and I began to petsit for neighbors as a teenager. I'm generally capable of regular house visits, keeping a punctual schedule, engaging in play & enrichment any way I can, bathing animals of any size, and adapting to the needs of any animal in my care. I am not able to consistently walk very high-energy dogs, but if you have an enclosed yard I'm more than happy to let your pet(s) get his or her energy out there. I'm great with low-energy animals who need a cuddle buddy or somebody to simply share a space with. I'm willing to do overnights, week+ long stays, and jobs with multiple pets. My schedule is very flexible to the needs of your pets, but I do have animals of my own to care for at home. I typically do not like to leave clients' pets alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the day, so you can expect regular visits within that time frame. I like to have lots of options for play & exercise with your pet. I don't take pets home, but I'm happy to supervise your pet in a fenced yard or a nearby park! I enjoy snuggles & handling small enclosure pets like rodents, and I'm willing to learn how to provide enrichment for any animal. I'm very strict about sticking to a feeding schedule, but I do like to give plenty of treats throughout the day if health allows. I try to keep clean as much as possible—bathing pets, regularly vacuuming/mopping, emptying litter, brushing fur and teeth, etc.
“Laura is wonderful!! We feel so lucky to have found her, she has a very special way with animals, and ours loved her. Highly recommend Laura, and hope she will sit for us many times in the future.”
About: My name is Jessica! I am 21 years old and I am originally from Brentwood, California. I just graduated last week from College and I have officially moved into my first apartment here in Redding. I am looking for clients that I can gain their trust to watch their animals in Redding. In high school I had a couple families back home that I was always on their list to watch their animals and I would love to be on your list as well. I have my own car and I am willing to take your animals on walks and to outdoors areas to play if you would like. I have a huge love for all animals but unfortunately I can't have any animals in my apartment so this will be perfect to get my animal fix for the weekend. I am very reliable, organized, and trustworthy. I would love to help you and your family out! Thank you for your time. Pet care fits into my daily routine by going home during my breaks at work to let animals out. Weekends are a huge part in taking care of animals for people when they go on vacation. I plan on taking care of the animals any way the owners do like in their own home. I will play with them and keep them active.

FAQs for House Sitting - Igo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 126 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Igo. 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 Igo 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 Igo 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 Igo 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.

- 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.
