About: I’ve been around dogs of all breeds and sizes my whole life and cared for most small and medium sized dogs for many years. I have a medium sized dog who loves being around other animals, but mostly likes dinner and naps! I’m currently working Monday through Friday 7-4 so weekend care is best for me. I’m available for evening check ins or walks. Because I’m a teacher, I’m available most holidays and breaks. I have a large fenced and walled in yard. There is a pool and that is gated off, too. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks. I have space to feed dogs in different areas so I can be sure everyone gets there full meal.

Alexis C. Is amazing❗️ We meet with Alexis two times before our travel. I was a bit nervous to leave Yuuki so I requested to have a meet and greet and then a short visit the day before we left. Alexis was agreeable to both meetings. She is very flexible and amazing with dogs. Our shy Yuuki excepted Alexis on the second visit. Yuuki wanted to play with her on the first visit but she couldn’t let her guard down. We were very pleased because Yuuki is slow to except new friends. Alexis is a dog whisperer. She is very quick to reply to messages. Alexis is very sweet, has a gentle disposition, and is very acomadating . After all of this we didn’t use Alexis ? because our grandson became ill and wasn’t able to take the trip, he was able to care for Yuuki. Alexis agreed to be on standby the complete week of our trip. Alexis stayed in touch and offered to come over for feedings and walks. Alexis showed such compassion. We will most definitely use Alexis for our next get away. Maria M

So we were a little worried and skeptical about using rover for the first time but Shauna was amazing with our pets. She sent us updates and pictures of the pets during a difficult time of year due to it being over the new year eve weekend (fireworks). She also took very good care of the house which we appreciate, would highly recommend Shauna to anyone and will definitely be using her again!

Kaitlyn watched my two labs while we were away for a weekend and did an amazing job. It was our first time leaving our puppy, but she was so kind and reassuring through all of the unexpected puppy behaviors. Not only did she send informative updates and adorable photos, she also left the apartment clean and well cared for. Overall an amazing sitter with great communication, and I would recommend to anyone.

Christina recently cared for dog and stayed at my house for 3 nights. She is experienced and it shows. She took good care of house and dog, kept in touch and sent a few photos. I felt relieved and enjoyed my time away knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again when she is available.

About: I have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.* I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2. We have a fenced in yard, spare bedrooms, extra crates if needed, and always someone home with your pets! We always lock up food/meds to prevent any accidental ingestions.

About: I love pets and animals and have lots of experience! I pet sit for all my friends and coworkers as they say I have a special connection with their pets. Animals love me and I love them! Happy to watch young or senior pets, and have experience with exotic pets like reptiles and birds As a teacher, I have all federal holidays off as well as weekends. I’m in town otherwise, so I can dependably check in on animals over weekdays as well. I will always make sure to take good care of your pets in your home, and take care of your home as well! Homes are a special and sacred place and I will always respect your area. It is great to watch them in their own home as this is less stress for your pets!

About: I have been trusted since childhood to watch over my neighbors' pets and have experience with two pit bulls and countless cats. I don't mind giving medicine, as my senior cat took some for years. I work full-time during the week, but am free all weekend to give your furry friend some love. I am generally active, so walks in the morning and evening are not an issue and I can easily integrate them into my daily routine. I can easily crate pets, love to take daily walks, and play for about an hour or two with my own pets, so I do not mind addressing the needs of your pet based on their energy level.

About: I have never met a dog that doesn't love me. I enjoy caring for dogs, taking them on walks, playing, and petting them. What separates me from other dog walkers is that I will treat your dog like it's my own, always keeping their best interest in mind. I have been a pet owner my entire life and am currently a stay at home dog mom. Caring for my dog has inspired me to help out my community and care for others pets when needed. I have walked other dogs in my neighborhood, from small to large, and I would love to walk your dog too. I can assure that if you pick me to care for your pet he or she will be provided the best quality care!

About: I have 3–4 years of experience working in animal shelters and dog daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, administering basic medications, and handling high-energy or reactive dogs. I’m confident reading dog body language and prioritizing safety in every situation. I also have experience with dog sitting and drop-in visits, making sure pets stay comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m available on most weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I can always accommodate overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks—flexible to fit your dog’s routine. I provide safe, loving care, follow each dog’s routine, give plenty of attention, walks, and play, and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.

About: Hi, I’m Johanna! I’m a dedicated dog lover with over 10 years of experience personally caring for and training dogs. From a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. I’ve personally trained my two rescue dogs, helping them grow into well-adjusted, social, and happy companions. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide your pup(s) with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks (we have a doggy door for 24/7 access), playtime, cuddles, or a structured routine, I can easily adjust to meet their needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Our spacious home has a fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play and relax. We also have access to parks nearby, making it easy to give your pup extra outdoor fun, exercise and socialization (if you feel comfortable with that)! I welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes and will ensure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. Many of the dogs I’ve watched have become like family, and I’m grateful to share in the love and joy they bring. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pet, and I can't wait to meet them! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! Since I work from home full-time, your pet will always have supervision and companionship throughout the day. They’ll have constant access to fresh water, our secure backyard for playtime and potty breaks, and a feeding and exercise schedule that matches their routine. Whether it’s cuddle time, walks, or structured activities, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! In my home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized care for every pet. We have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door for 24/7 access to the yard for play, exercise or just to sunbathe. Additionally, both our main doors and screen doors add an extra layer of protection, minimizing any chance of pups slipping out. I tailor each pet’s care to their unique needs, following their usual feeding, exercise, and medication routines to ensure they feel at home. Whether it’s supervised playtime, cozy nap spots, or plenty of affection, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay! I tailor each pet’s care to their unique needs, following their usual feeding, exercise, and medication routines to ensure they feel at home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Italian Swiss Colony

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Italian Swiss Colony on Rover is $58.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 480 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Italian Swiss Colony. 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 Italian Swiss Colony 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 Italian Swiss Colony 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 Italian Swiss Colony 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 Italian Swiss Colony. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
