“Grace was great, she kept us updated on our furry kid and sent pictures of a happy and stimulated dog. House was super clean when we returned home. Would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.”
“Audrey did a wonderful job pet-sitting our 13 year old dog and tending our houseplants while we were away on vacation for a week. She was very responsive to our requests for updates and photos via text and also didn't hesitate to ask questions about anything she was unsure about. The house was in perfect shape when we got back. Would highly recommend her.”
“Sara is amazing! She takes her sitting seriously and loves my cats like her own. I’ve booked with her for both drop-in and overnights. She’s on-time, her communication is fantastic and I feel confident in leaving my cats and home in her meticulous care. I’m sure my cats love her as they wind around her legs immediately every time she comes over. Book with Sara today, you and your cats will not regret it!”
“Kasey did a great job. We kept in contact often. I left instructions and Kasey did a great job with that. If she had a question, she asked. The biggest tell is that my animals were very happy and relaxed when we got back!!!”
About: I also constantly grew up with dogs in my life, small, big, old and young. I understand how to wear them out with every trick in the game I am a full time student but mainly taking online credits, most the time hanging out with animals is my joy, not a job or task. I live in an apartment and will not be hosting animals in my home. I would absolutely love too but with my situation I cannot.
“Kyra followed my instructions and was really good with my dogs. She left my house in fantastic shape and was communicative. If I need my dogs to be watched overnight I would definitely book her again.”
“Aeries did really good watching over my dog and 2 cats. I will definitely be bringing her back next time I leave. She was very attentive and gave me updates (pictures) daily. 💚 Really great service!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals for as long as I can remember, from exotics, to livestock, to dogs and cats. I currently work at a dog training facility as an administrator, and part of my job still requires experience in the managing and care of dogs of all size and temperament. My position at a dog training facility, allows me to bring my own dog in with me as well as add flexibility into my work schedule seeing as I make the employee schedule week to week. I am a highly active person, and go on walks/hike on a daily basis, and would love to bring your dog along with me. My own personal dog is also sociable with other dogs, meaning he is more than happy to keep your dog company! I am always open to setting up a meet and greet beforehand, too. I have always revolved my life around animals. My work engrains pet care into my mindset, and when I come home it's no different. I am familiar with animal behavior, as well as the basics of training. If you have any special routine you'd like to implement with your dog while you're, away I'd be more than happy to do so. My own dog is crate trained, and therefore is crated when I have to make errands away from home. I do have A/C in my household, so overheating is not a concern. I make it a point to not let dogs go without a potty break for longer than 4-8 hours at a time, max. Anytime dogs are playing together in my home, they will always be supervised :)
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!
“Ashley was incredible! Kept our dog’s walking routines, gave her cuddles, sent pictures, kept in communication with us, and the house was spotless when we got home. Greatly appreciated her terrific care of our dog and house. Highly recommend Ashley and will definitely be calling on her in the future. Thank you Ashley!”
About: I have owned pets my entire life including dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters! At the moment, my family has 2 dogs and a cat that I help care for when I am home from school. I eventually want to get my own dog, but for now I would love to help you take care of your pets when you’re unable to! please reach out!!! I’m currently working full time in a cafe in bellevue. My days off are sunday and monday so I am available anytime on this days. For the rest of the week, I get off work around 6:30. At home, i let my dogs outside and take them on walks! I also feed my dogs and cat in the morning and spend time with them in the house when im home or outside if the weather is nice!
About: I grew up around dogs, they are my best friends, I have a five-year-old doggo named "Something-Liquid" who I trained myself. He is my father's dog's son. I love him with my whole heart and I will love and care for your dog the same Luke 7:12 KJV. I am flexible with pricing, so if you need adjustments just reach out and let me know! REPEAT CUSTOMERS ARE SUBJECT TO LOWER RATES I work during the week as my dog Something Liquid's babysits the house. I come home in the evenings and then it is playtime with the doggos! I have a fenced backyard with room for play, I have an ambitious four-year-old doggy so your dog will never be alone. We have a dog door, during the day so there is always access to outside! I also have a 42-inch crate that's door remains open if your dog prefers to chill out or in crates. it is just a fun experience.
“Bella did a great job with our two older dogs. One can be hard to crack his shell, and they were buddies by the end of their time. She sent plenty of pictures and is a good communicator. She left our house clean. All of it was very much appreciated!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and am ready to handle anything they may throw at me. I'm an avid hiker and I love being able to explore nature with furry companions. I'm a great fit for any dog or cat care needs you may have! My patience is abundant, no matter how wild or calm your pet may be. I am available for house/pet sitting during the week. I am happy to work with dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals. I have worked with animal care in a professional setting for 4 years now, and feel confident in my understanding of animal behavior and care. I have 3 cats of my own, foster bottle baby kittens, and work on a farm in Lewiston with goats, sheep, and a grumpy Llama. Reach out and let me know what you are looking for in a pet sitter!
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals, including reptiles, cats, and all kinds of dogs! I am well-equipped to handle pets with medical needs, with a specialty in caring for pets with Addison's disease. I will treat your pet right no matter their age; I have worked with elderly pets and with very young pets alike with great success. I'm currently fully available to care for your pets as much as you'd like! Pet care is currently my first priority and I can visit or stay with pets as frequently and as long as you may need. I am very mindful of the health of the pets I care for, especially now that we are in the summer months and heat has become a danger. The safety of your pets is the most important part of any pet care experience to me, and I will ensure that we have created a plan adapted to all of their needs before I begin my job.
About: I have worked professionally with dogs for the past 4 years, and have had experience caring for them personally throughout most of my life. I also occasionally volunteer at the Whitman County Humane Society. I am comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and have plenty of experience with administering medications, following elaborate care instructions, and cleaning all kinds of messes. I love dogs and love keeping them happy and healthy! If you are considering me for your pet’s care, I can make as many home visits during the day on weekends as you need and am able to stay with your pet overnight any night. Due to sharing my living space with others, I am not available to have pets stay with me in my home at this time. I have a fear-free approach when handling animals, and will let them choose the pacing of our interactions. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 148 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Johnson. 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 Johnson 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 Johnson 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 Johnson 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.

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.
