“Kimberly was amazing! Our girls are spoiled and she gave them so much love they didn’t want her to leave. We came home to happy pups and well cared for home. We have already scheduled her for another stay. We and the girls highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Juan was amazing with my senior cat and my dog. He was attentive specifically towards my cat. And answered immediately whenever I would inquire about my pets. I strongly recommend.”
“Gianna did a great job with our two active Australian Shepherds. She left the house in great condition and helped us out by watering plants when the temperature was abnormally high. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our two in the future.”
“Matthew took great care of our little Frenchie! It makes a huge difference for us when we travel and know that Ranger will be well loved and taken care of. It’s also wonderful to come back to a clean house just the way we left it. Thank you Matthew!”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We came home to a happy pup and a tidy home after Katie house sat for our dog! Katie is awesome and was so good with Calvin. We will definitely have her watch our dog in the future and would highly recommend her for house sitting and other Rover services.”
“Olivia took great care of our rambunctious puppy and grumpy pug. She definitely has a way with animals and it was clear that our pups fell in love with her when she housesat them. On top of that she is very responsible, trustworthy and a great communicator. I highly recommend Olivia!”
“Sara was wonderful with our older dog. We were gone for 9 days and she went above and beyond. She gave us daily updates and photos as well as asking good questions when she was unsure. We would definitely recommend Sara for dog sitting. You will have peace of mind.”
“Georgia was awesome caring for our three small dogs for four days on short notice. She quickly learned the pups' personalities and became their best friend. It was great knowing our house/dog sitter wasn't just a warm body keeping them fed, but was happy to be part of their daily routine. Her daily photos were creative and brought us joy while we were on vacation. I'll be eager to book Georgia again the next time we need a house/pet sitter!”
“Nikki watched our lab, Juno, for two weeks while we were gone for the holidays. She sent us photos throughout our time away, picked up our mail, and even gave Juno a few Christmas gifts. We came home to a very relaxed and well taken care of pup! We would definitely trust Nikki with Juno again!”
About: I've trained several dogs from puppies to adulthood. I've worked as a pet sitter on and off for the past four years. My first job was in a vet's office assisting in surgical care. I love spending time with furry friend and am excited to me your four legged friend I currently work seasonal jobs and have gaps of time between school and work that I am looking to fill with furry friends. My flexible schedule is perfect for caring for your pet! I'll spend quality time with your pet in their safe space. I am happy to travel to your home to adapt to their space and help your pet feel cared for in your absence. My flexibility allows me to spend longer periods of time at your home, perfect for furry friends that need a little more attention!
“Jojo is amazing to work with. She was great with our puppy Moose and sent fun and frequent updates during our trip. Our three year old daughter looked forward to them every day. She also took excellent care of our house and went above and beyond leaving some fresh fruit for our young daughter to make sure she had breakfast when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time booking with Julia and she did a great job taking care of my dogs. She was very quick at responding to my messages, updated me on the dogs, and sent me daily pictures. I knew my dogs were in great hands the whole time we were gone. Would definitely have her watch my dogs again!”
“Ardelle was fantastic and took great care of our recovering pup and my home while we were away. Would absolutely trust her with Oakley's care again in the future! She was knowledgeable, communicative, & proactive which was very appreciated.”
“What a joy it was to have Amanda take care of my 4 year old Golden Retriever. Amanda is a delightful, responsible young lady that was always keeping me informed on how things were going, and asking questions when needed. She most certainly earned my trust - coming home to a super clean house, and a happy dog. I hope to be able to have her help me in the future,”
“Truly a gem! Masele was a perfect match for my senior rescue dog and gave her the extra TLC she needed. We are new to the area, I travel frequently for work, and Masele calmed my anxiety about leaving my pup so soon. In addition to Sadie being in well cared for, my home was spotless!! I’ve already sent Masele a rebooking request.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Kerriston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 6,667 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 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.
