“Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.”

About: I’ve cared for pets from all walks of life, including small and large dog breeds, cats, and even specialty pets such as bearded dragons and fish. No matter what kind of companion you have, your family member will be in caring and capable hands with me. I also have several years of experience caring for high-maintenance, special-needs, and senior pets, so I understand the extra attention, patience, and individualized care they may require. Having worked in healthcare for several years as well, I recognize the trust involved in entrusting a loved one to someone new and take that responsibility seriously. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in booking or have any questions—I’d love to see if I’d be a good fit for you and your pet. I work full time during the week, but I am available most days after 4/5pm. I am usually open most weekends without time constraints I regularly rotate walks and runs with my own large, high-energy pups to help keep them active and happy. They eat twice a day and enjoy a mixed diet. My cats require a little less hands-on attention, but they can be higher maintenance due to their asthma and picky eating habits. While this is how I care for my own furry family, I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m always happy to adjust to your pet’s individual needs, routine, and preferences

Jamie stayed at our house and was very respectful and our house was in amazing condition when we returned. I could not recommend her more highly.”

“We couldn’t recommend Carly more highly! We had to travel unexpectedly and had just gotten a brand new puppy so were in a little bit of a bind. Carly stepped in without hesitation and took on watching not just the puppy but 2 other dogs. She took such good care of them and sent us lots of pictures throughout the weekend. Knowing they were so well cared for was so incredibly helpful and gave us the best peace of mind. You should absolutely book her for all your dog sitting needs!”

About: Hello! My name is Natalia, and I moved to the US from Ukraine. Throughout my life, I have been deeply connected to animals. In my childhood, our family had German Shepherds Ralph and Bagira, a dog named Tuzik, a Siamese cat named Mika, and a Persian cat named Pusok. They were my constant companions, and caring for them was an important part of my everyday life. When I got married, my husband and I welcomed a Husky into our family named Eva, who is now 10 years old, and she brings boundless joy and love into our home. For the past year, I have been walking dogs and caring for cats through the Rover app and independently. I regularly walk eight wonderful dogs every week. With my extensive experience in pet care, I understand the importance of trust and attention to detail. Pet owners are always happy with my services, and after each walk or visit, I send them a detailed description of how everything went, along with photos. I do not offer pet sitting in my home, but I am happy to come to your home to walk your dogs or care for your cats. Your pet will receive the necessary attention, care, and love during my visits. If needed, I can teach basic commands as well. I will gladly take all your wishes into account to ensure that your pet feels comfortable during my visits or our walks. You can be sure that your pet will be in reliable and loving hands!♥️ I have a home office. That's why I'm always at home. We can agree on a convenient time for you. Babysitter for dogs on holidays, scheduled in advance. I have an unfenced yard. We always go for walks on a leash, strolling through quiet streets straight to the nearby park. I have a Husky named Eva, who willingly keeps your furry friend company both at home and on walks. Upon your request, I can walk your pet individually. I can teach basic commands as well. I will take into account all your wishes to create the best stay for your pet in our family.

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have worked with animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra patience and gentle care, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of life. My lifelong love for animals has given me extensive experience with feeding routines, daily exercise, administering medications, senior pet support, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while pet parents are away. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs active playtime, companionship, special attention, or quiet comfort, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I treat every pet like family and take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I am available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and check-ins. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, extra attention during the day, or loving care while you’re away, I have the time and dedication to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also respect my client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully to ensure peace of mind for both pets and owners.

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! My journey in professional animal care began at just 15, when I started working in veterinary medicine and trained as a veterinary technician. Although I later ventured into nursing school and human medicine, my heart eventually led me right back to where it belongs: caring for animals! With both personal and professional experience, I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special. I have a particular love for senior pets and those with special needs, and I know how important it is to provide them with extra patience, understanding, and gentle, attentive care. I chose veterinary medicine because there is something truly special about the bond we share with animals. I fall in love a little more every day, and I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like family. When you trust me with your beloved companion, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. Whether your pup needs extra snuggles, a little extra patience, specialized attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. After losing my beloved dog, Yoshi, last year, I have more availability to dedicate to caring for other people’s pets. Yoshi had some special medical needs, including immune issues and a history of seizures, so caring for him taught me just how important patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care are for pets with unique needs. I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of love and attention to your furry family members. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and surrounded by familiar sights and smells. I began pet sitting for friends and clients at 18, and providing loving, dependable care has remained something I truly enjoy. After saying goodbye to my beloved senior dog, Yoshi, last summer, I’ve found even more meaning in spending time with and caring for other people’s pets while we wait for the right new addition to our family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make sure your dog feels loved, secure, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in compassionate, experienced hands.

About: Hi, I’m Carla! My love for dogs has been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been something close to my heart. In January 2012, I adopted my beloved Candy. She was my faithful companion for over 14 years, and I said goodbye to her in April 2026. Candy taught me so much about patience, understanding, and the special bond we share with our dogs. She also taught me firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your furry family. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with English Bulldogs, a Chihuahua, a Black Labrador, and Candy. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of different breeds, personalities, and behaviors, including leash reactivity, pulling, lunging, and barking. Since March 2024, I’ve dedicated over 1,000 volunteer hours to shelter dogs, walking dogs of all sizes and personalities and providing enrichment. I also work with shy, fearful, and reactive dogs, helping them build confidence and feel more comfortable. Since Candy’s passing, I’ve also started occasionally fostering dogs who need a little extra love and care. Whether your dog is outgoing and energetic or shy and sensitive, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Their well-being and safety will always be my priority. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I would love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around your pet’s needs. Typically, dogs would not be left alone for more than 4–5 hours. Monday through Thursday, I have commitments from approximately 2–6 PM, which I take into consideration when scheduling pet care. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Care in My Home: I don’t have a fenced yard, so outdoor time consists of leashed walks or a long line for your pet to run. I provide a minimum of five walks per day to ensure your dog gets plenty of opportunities to go outside. I also have two stepchildren, ages 11 and 14, so dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around children. They may not be here when you pet is depending on the time. In-Home Pet Sitting: When caring for your pets in your home, I maintain their usual routines and provide attentive care in their familiar surroundings. My maximum stay for overnight pet sitting is 3–4 nights. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority! For care in my home: I do not have a yard. I provide a minimum of 5 walks a day. I also have two step children that are 11 and 14, so any pets should be fine with kids when they are in my home. For in home pet sitting I have a max stay of 3-4 nights.

This was our first time using Rover and we could not have been more lucky to find Hailey! Hailey is very responsive, provided clear communication, and many awesome updates, including pictures and videos, while we were out of town. Our dog is 13 with many health issues so we are very hesitant to leave him with anyone other than family, but as soon as we met Hailey there was an immediate sense of comfort and relief knowing he was going to be in great hands in the comfort of his own home. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience and we will definitely be using Hailey's services in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Indian Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Indian Creek is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $136 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,145 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Indian Creek. 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 Indian Creek 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 Indian Creek 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 Indian Creek 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indian Creek. On Rover:

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.
