“Anita did a wonderful job. Actually my fur baby Bella, choose Anita. She's very pleasant, kind & sweet. Anita stayed overnight in my home, my baby actually slept with Anita, which she's never done with me. She gave me daily updates and photos. I will be using Anita when I go out of town again for sure.”
“Haley did a great job with my dogs. I came home the dogs were happy, and doing great. The house was clean. She sent pictures to my wife everyday so we could see them, witch made our day just to see them. We love our dogs so much and hate to leave them. It was nice to know that they were so well taking care of.”
“Georgia was awesome and kept me informed as well as sent pictures during her visit. My 15yo had stopped taking his meds and Georgia got him to take them with no problem 👍 Georgia is my person when I have to go out of town, I highly recommend Georgia... She Is The Best 👌”
“Alyssa was AMAZING!! She watched our girl Willow while my boyfriend was at work and I was in Jersey for the weekend. Alyssa was very attentive and very respectful of our home. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting!!”
“Robert does a wonderful job caring for my dogs while I’m away. I get photos while I’m gone and when I get home it’s like I never left. They get lots of cuddles and play time too!”
About: I've had my own dogs and cats as well as done dog sitting when I was a teenager! I live teaching dogs new tricks when sitting because it helps me connect with them more! I'm currently a part time student taking online courses so I have a lot of free time! I like working out in the mornings and Going to the beach! If your pet enjoys the beach as well they are more than welcome to spend the day with me! I have a fenced in yard with a pool if your pet enjoys swimming. Growing up with both dogs and cats has taught me that timing with feeding is extremely important as well as their diet.
“Awesome! Awesome! I couldn't be more pleased with Megan. My Nellie was treated like a diva and that is exactly what I would hope for. I will happily use you again and again. Thank you and LK :)”
“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
About: Hello there! I’m a die hard dog lover! I will completely understand all the special needs your loving pup may have! I have multiple pups from old to young and many different breeds so I am very knowledgeable about all ages and multiple breeds! I have a large yard for their running and enjoyment! I would absolutely love to take your loving pup on a walk or a have a cuddle watching a movies! If your pup and special requirements don’t worry! I here to help and take care of their every need! I cannot wait to hear from you and I’m excited to take care of your little fur baby! They will have the absolute best time! Let me know if you have any questions! I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to provide dedicated care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, daytime sitting, or overnight boarding, I’m able to give your pup the attention they need — no rushed potty breaks or long stretches alone. Your dog will have plenty of company, snuggles, and playtime while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment that fits each pet’s unique routine and personality. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family — they’ll have plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and a cozy space to relax. I make sure their feeding, medication (if needed), and exercise routines are followed exactly as instructed, and I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Alexis was amazing! Took great care of my two dogs all weekend. Sent me updates with photos. Took them for walks and overall did amazing! Will definitely contact her for the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!”
“This was our very first time utilizing a house/pet sitter and we were quite anxious about having someone stay in our home and taking care of our two pups. It was also our first time using Rover. Tawny and her sister Haylee were absolutely amazing. They provided feedback with pictures throughout each day and followed instructions for feeding and medication just as we asked. Everything was in good order when we got home and we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Tawny and Haylee.”
“Harper is amazing!! She was so great with our pup and our home!! We received daily pictures and updates and we can not express our gratitude enough! Thank you so much Harper!!!!”
“Savannah was very attentive to our precious Stella. Stella has daily meds and Savannah made sure those were done on time daily. She took Stella out for sunshine and was wonderful at allowing Stella to stay in her own environment while we were away on a much needed vacation. I would highly recommend her for pet needs and we will for sure use her again if the need for a pet sitter arises.”
“Stacey was amazing with my boxer, Piper! She is so sweet, very informative, and extremely reliable. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind on my long trip, and she even continued checking on Piper after the visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her pets, and I would absolutely book with her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Ketchuptown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 285 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ketchuptown. 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 Ketchuptown 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 Ketchuptown 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 Ketchuptown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ketchuptown. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
