“Alyssa was amazing! We went away for a weekend and she stayed with our (needy, dramatic, loving, sweet) old dog. Our dog loves her and seemed to take to her immediately. We’ll definitely work with Alyssa again”
“Isabel was OUTSTANDING as my overnight sitter. My two pups absolutely adore her and she went above and beyond in taking care of them while I was away on vacation. I would highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter, she is simply the BEST!”
“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”
“We are so thankful we found Caylene! Our dogs love her & had the best time with her while we were away. It’s always comforting to have someone you can trust to care for your fur babies when you’re not home. The dogs can’t wait for their next visit!”
“Amber stayed in my home and cared for my pup for 7 days. I arrived home to find my place to be clean and tidy and my dog a very happy boy. She sent daily pictures and checked in often. I’m very pleased to have found Amber and will be booking her again. Thank you, Amber!”
“Cheryl was amazing. We had peace of mind leaving our cat Roscoe in her care. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. Roscoe seemed very comfortable with Cheryl. She even watered the flowers and fed the birds. She washed the linens, which I never expected her to do. We don't travel much but when we do, we will definitely have Cheryl sit again.”
“Abbey was wonderful. She was supremely confident with my dogs and they were very happy and well cared for when I returned. She left my home in great shape. I appreciated her kindness, professionalism and responsiveness. I just hope she is available when I have other trips out of town.”
“Matthew watched our three dogs when we went out of town for the weekend and he was great! He checked in all throughout the weekend and provided updates. We have two frenchies and a senior chihuahua mix who is deaf. Our dogs can be a handful but he took on the task and we were very thankful! We highly recommend him.”
About: I have had many pets growing up small dogs, big dogs, cats, and others. I come from a family where we love and care for our pets deeply. I work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of all your pets needs including my own. I make my own schedule for the most part every week so there’s plenty of time to plan around work. I have 1 dogs and a cat currently I take care of all they’re physical needs feeding, exercise, play time, and love. I personally enjoy every part.
About: I have had dogs in my life since childhood. I can't imagine life without them. As my senior dog ages, I see myself caring for others pets. I work part time when it fits my schedule. I am pursuing petsitting, especially dog walking, to up my daily excercise and meet new dogs. I have a senior hound mix who I have had for 7 years. We take a long walk twice a day. She receives her medication during feeding.
“We're grateful to find someone that we can trust in our house and with our pets. She also took care of our daughters pets while we were away on vacation!!!! Great communication through text/Rover app.”
About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three dogs (two Rottweilers and a Shih Tzu) who were treated like members of the family. In addition to a lifetime of personal experience around dogs, I also have numerous years of professional experience as a dog walker, dog sitter, and house sitter. Working with dogs is truly one of my greatest joys in life 😊 I promise to care for your fur babies (and your home) as if they were my own. I enjoy traveling to new locations for dogsitting, and am always up for an adventure! I have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings as long as I'm available. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I'm self employed, which allows me the flexibility of setting my own schedule. When I'm working a dog sitting job, I consider it my first priority. I'm happy to adjust my personal schedule to accomodate your dog's individual routine and needs. I currently offer overnight dog sitting at my clients' homes. This allows your dog to feel at ease in his/her own living space, and alleviates the potential stress of traveling and adjusting to a new environment. I often work from home for my other jobs, so I'm able to spend lots of quality time bonding with the dogs that I work with. I'm very communicative with my clients during a job, and often send updates and photos to let you know how everything is going. If you're a dog owner who also has cats, I'm happy to care for them for a small additional fee. (Please refer to "additional cat" on the list of services that I provide).
“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”

I know every dog and cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level to help them feel safe and happy while you're away(๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝* I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week!!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats personally over the last 8-9 years. I've also taken care of pets from neighbors, friends, and coworkers. I love working with animals I'm currently a student athlete in college. I'm also part time at work. I definitely can work with you to provide great care quality for your pets. I will make sure that all doors and fences be closed. Make sure every doors is locked in case some are curious. Make sure that there isn't anything on the floor that a dog or cat may swallow.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 5. I’ve always believed that they should be shown so much love and compassion. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of varying ages. I have looked after animals of all sizes and ages so I am well prepared. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, bathing, nail trimming, and medication giving. I currently am putting my full attention into pet care so I will have plenty of time available to take care of your furry family members. I am available all week days and most weekends. I have no problem staying nights if needed. I treat my fur babies like they are family and I give them lots of love. I will treat your pets with the same love I show mine. I have no problem following whatever routine and habits that will make your pets feel comfortable.
About: I spent twelve years caring for my German Shepherd, Tyson, who taught me the importance of patience, trust, & routine. Alongside him, I have cared for doggies of all breeds & sizes for over fifteen years. Friends & family have relied on me for walking, feeding, companionship, & staying with them for days at a time. I'm especially comfortable with large & strong breeds. I'm calm, attentive, & deeply respectful of each dog's unique personality- my goal is always for your pet to feel safe & loved while you're away! I'm happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease as well! I will also care for your kitties! Hi! I’m Jade! I recently moved back to my hometown after spending the last five years living in Colorado, and I’m taking this season to slow down a little, spend time with family, and enjoy being back home. I’ve had a bit of a colorful career path! I’ve spent years as a private nanny and household manager, worked in property management, attended school for Interior Design, and now work in management and social media marketing. Through all of it, I’ve always loved work that involves caring for people, creating beautiful spaces, and making life a little easier for others. Outside of work, I’m a creative and an adventurer at heart. I love acrylic painting, interior design, hiking, cooking homemade recipes, road trips, and traveling to new places. Give me a beautiful trail, a little town I’ve never explored, a paintbrush, or something new to cook and I’m happy. I also had a dog of my own who I had to say goodbye to a few years ago, and I’ve really missed having that companionship in my everyday life. My current work gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day, with especially open availability on Sundays and Mondays. I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet happiest—whether that’s long walks and adventures, backyard playtime, or lots of couch snuggles. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your little family member is with someone who will genuinely love and care for them. I take them to the dog park, long walks, roaming around in fenced in yards, & lots of snuggles. Whatever you are comfortable with and whatever your dog's typical routine is- I will make sure they are fulfilled.
About: Hello! My name is Jenni and I’m a Registered Vet Tech. I live and work in Frederick County, MD. I have 2 cats and a puppy of my own at home who make every day interesting, fun, and full of love. I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets is my genuine passion, so I made it my career! I’ve had my own pets since I was 10 years old (probably younger) and I have worked in the veterinary medicine industry for 20+ years. I work full-time as an RVTg at a local veterinary hospital and I am looking to make some extra cash on the side. Your pet will be cared for as if it were my own! I’ll consider any reasonable offer regarding amount for services. I do not have a fear of any dog/cat, I have no breed restrictions, and I have no problem scooping litter boxes or cleaning up after dogs on walks. Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to rabbits, guinea pigs/hamsters/gerbils, and birds and therefore cannot visit any home that has these pets in them. I require proof of an up-to-date Rabies vaccination for all dogs and cats. NOT the tag, the actual certificate (your vet can provide this for you). I have 2 cats of my own that make every day interesting and fun. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet(s) as if they were my own!
About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 407 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kauffman. 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 Kauffman 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 Kauffman 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 Kauffman 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
