“Kimberly was exceptional. One of our two dogs became very sick while we were away and she coordinates getting him the emergency without complaint. Considering the mess she had to clean, she went above and beyond. Communication was excellent and she left the house clean. We would highly recommend her and use her again!”
“Chris was awesome! Our dogs took right to her and the house looked great! She was comfortable when meeting our boisterous dogs and very punctual. She also sends great pics! We will definitely continue booking with Chris!”
“Amazing job with our pets and taking care of the house! The pets all love having Trisha watch them and she always leaves the house so clean and perfect! Also does a great job with my dog who needs medication for epilepsy.”
“Leeah was amazing with our dog Coco. Coco requires a lot of love, attention, and play and Leeah was so good at providing that for our girl. Leeah was communicative, very respectful of our home, and arguably left it cleaner than we left her with it! Thanks again!! We will have her back anytime 😄”
“Ryasa did an excellent job for us, on very short notice. It was our first experience using Rover.com or any pet/house sitting service ... so we were learning. She kept us informed, sent occasional photos, kept our home occupied, etc. It was great. We gave a tip onsite, rather than via the app. Sorry! 😆”
“Gianna was fantastic! We have a fairly high needs bully breed and she was great with him. Between medication, walks, and high energy, all of his needs were met! Highly recommended!”
About: I had a dog for my whole life, and cared for him from puppy to senior, so I know how to care for a dog at any stage of its wonderful life! I have also watched dogs of all sizes, from a chihuahua to a weimaraner! I am very active and would love to walk and play with your furry friend! I am VERY available this summer, and would love to care for your pet! I have a big car love to be outside and active! I am very clean and organized, trustworthy, and reliable. I am devoted to creating a safe environment for your pet! I make sure to clean up all areas and make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and comfortable!
About: I’ve initially started taking care of pets in my community after losing my lovely dog, Layla, to cancer. Doing so was healing in ways that I could not have imagined!! I am so excited to continue this journey of love, support and healing. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I'm currently working from home, which allows me plenty of time to spend with the pets! I'm usually available for daycare & boarding while working, with a few exceptions. I follow the instructions form the caregiver and also listen to what each pet is telling me. I provide a calm yet playful attitude so that everyone feels comfortable.
“Jessica is awesome, and so is George! Our dog Bria is very much a home body and picky about the humans she chooses to befriend. Bria and Jessica did great together, and Bria loved playing with George! Jessica communicates well and was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to use Jessica again. Bria said it's okay, and she's the one we are trying to please! :-)”
“Alexandria was an amazing dog and house sitter! Our girl Nena was taken on her numerous walks, given all her pills and had the best time relaxing at home. Our home was well taken care of! We felt extremely comfortable having Alexandria watch our old girl, Nena and will be booking again!”
“Keiko did an outstanding job pet sitting our 3 dogs. She kept us updated on how they were doing with daily messages and pictures. She is very professional and we will use her services again.”
“Jordan was fantastic with Oso, our 8 month old puppy, and took excellent care of him over the holidays. He was on time, responsive, very friendly, and clearly a true dog lover. Oso is very active, and he did a great job meeting his needs and keeping him exercised. Jordan happily reviewed and followed our detailed instructions, sent photos each day, and was happy to do a phone call on the last day to share how things went. We were especially grateful that he was able to step in with just a couple of weeks’ notice after another sitter canceled during the busy holiday season. When our puppy chewed through his harness, he went above and beyond by replacing it, and he even left a thoughtful note and toys for our dog. We felt completely confident leaving our dog in his care and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“I felt like I left my sweet, anxious, and dog reactive gal, Magpie in safe hands with ML. He has a calm presence and was communicative during our trip. He left our house in great shape and I could tell when I got home that Magpie was relaxed and happy, which is always a great sign to me! I would definitely recommend him for house/dog sitting needs, and hope to book with him again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kerriston
Jessica stayed with our Great Dane and kitty for a week while we were in Canada. She did great! The dog was happy, and we were shocked that the kitty and her feral friend from the neighborhood were so friendly with her! Because our Dane - Elvis - has Addison's disease, he is on a pretty strict med regimen, and Jessica double checked to make sure she had everything correct. We will use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 6,499 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kerriston. 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 Kerriston 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 Kerriston 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 Kerriston 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.
