“Georgia did wonderful watching and caring for my cat and dog. I was so worried leaving for a week but she has done great and sent videos of my dog enjoying a pup cup. She walked him to our local ice cream shop to give him some out time while I was gone. She’s great!!”
“Kaylee was awesome! She communicated quickly and was gracious when my plans shifted. Kaylee took great care of Humphrey and my house. I appreciated the picture updates a lot. Humphrey really enjoyed Kaylee's company. We will definitely be booking her again to house sit!”
“Skyler was great! I got constant updates with a lot of photos and videos. His attentiveness and care were first rate and made my dog feel very comfortable about being away from me. So much so that I think she wasn't ready to leave when it was time for me to get her lol”
“Emerson was a heaven sent coming last minute for a weekend booking over Halloween. When a dog sitter cancelled last minute Emerson was able to dog sit for the whole weekend, and constantly keeping me updated! She is truly such a gem!”
“Meghan is the best! Took care of 2 little Shih Tzus plus our cat for 5 days in our home. Stayed in contact with me throughout the 5 days. Very dependable, pets well cared for, home is immaculate. Highly recommend!”
“Due to unfortunate circumstances she couldn’t watch my pups. She was very proactive in keeping me up to date and helping me find another dog sitter. She said she would definitely like to help in the future.”
“Natalee did a great job and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned. I mean, as "relaxed" as these two get, anyway. They seemed to enjoy their time with her very much! We felt they were perfectly safe in her care.”
About: I’m an Anthrozoology graduate student who has a passion for understanding the human-animal bond. I am knowledgeable, compassionate and caring with pet sitting, dog walking and I am certified in dog and cat training. I have enjoyed training puppies and adult dogs over the years, and have pet sit for cats, hamsters and ferrets over the years as well. I look forward to meeting your baby! I currently go to school full time online, so pet sitting, training or dog walking will allow me to gain experience in the animal field while attending school and caring for your pets. My schedule is fairly open and flexible. If scheduling conflicts occur, a notification will be sent. While staying in your home, I will provide exceptional care for your pets. I will abide by the instructions set out by the guardians and provide love and care to your fur babies.
“Jasmine took care of my senior dog while I was away for a week. He requires a lot of medication and she did a great job making sure he got his meds on time overall great job and I would recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was around 10 years old, and for the past year I’ve consistently dog walked and dog sat for multiple families. I’ve also had my own dog for 7 years, so I understand the daily care, attention, and responsibility pets need. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I always make sure each dog gets the exercise, routine, and care they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m a part-time dog walker and student, looking to fill my summer with wagging tails, fresh air, and more furry adventures! I have lots of free time during the week, so I’m very flexible. The pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow any given instructions and take time to build trust with every pet. I keep their water fresh, clean up any messes, and make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.
“Kaylor did a wonderful job with Mr Lincoln while we were away for several days. I loved receiving updates and pictures. According to Kaylor it was a good bonding experience and no issues were identified. 🩷 We will definitely have Kaylor care for our big baby boy!🩷”
About: I have experience helping with feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and always willing to learn each dog’s individual routine and needs. I am currently student teaching, but am available week nights and weekends to watch your furry friends and provide loving care! Please feel free to message me with any questions I am caring, responsible, and adore dogs! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I will treat your dog like my own.
“Michelle did a great job watching our Gracie. She stayed at the house with her and even watered my wife's plants while we were gone. I will definitely use her again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
About: I have worked at a dog kennel since 2021. I had to do 2 months of training before hand. Friends and neighbors have allowed me to babysit their pets as well. I’ve fed, walked, cuddle, brushed, bathed and given medicine to dogs. I’m currently in college but coming home for summer and winter break. I’m working at the kennel still but want more work hours in the week I will keep an eye on them when they are outside as well as if I need to watch them while they’re eating. I will give them love and play all day with them
About: I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are happy and are stress free while away from their owners. I have 3 dogs, 1 is a 9 week old puppy my family has just adopted. I have to constantly watch my puppy, named Walter. Sometimes I’ll have to stay with him and watch him for a few hours. He has severe anxiety so we have to constantly be with him and make sure he’s ok. I play with them, I pet them, I hold them, I fill up their dog food and water, constant potty breaks to prevent any accidents.
“Kyleigh was amazing! I’m a first-time Rover user, and she made the whole process so easy by answering all my questions and guiding me through everything. She took wonderful care of Coco and sent me updates that truly brightened my day! Kyleigh was respectful of both my home and Coco, and she wasn’t afraid to ask questions when needed. She even went above and beyond by being flexible and staying an extra day for me. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone — she did a fantastic job!”
About: I have been around all types of animals my whole life. I currently work in vet med and have loved every second. I can administer meds and clean when necessary. I am happy to work with cats, and dogs of all sizes and ages. I would love to meet your furry babies! I currently work full time, but I’m still fully available to stop by whenever needed. Feel free to message me for more details, and we can discuss a schedule! With walks or just drop in visits, your pet will have some company and endless play. I’m willing to meet your pet beforehand so I have the opportunity to get to know your pet, and they get to know me
About: I have my own cat but dog and cat sit for for friends/family often - including my sister’s doodle for 6 weeks when he was a puppy! I work full-time and enjoy working out in the evenings but can let pets out for potty breaks throughout the day depending on my work schedule. I prefer to care for pets in the client’s home, since my own cat is very territorial - he is not a fan of other animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kappa. 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 Kappa 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 Kappa 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kappa 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 Kappa. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
