“As always, Todd was incredible. He is excellent at communicating. We received updates and pictures every day. Our cat and dog received the best care and got all of the attention, love, and fun that we had wanted for them. We will ALWAYS choose Todd to take care of our little fur babies.”
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.
“Alisha is just wonderful! We have a senior dog and another who tends to have separation anxiety. Our dogs loved her and they were very well cared for in our absence. I 100% recommend Alisha!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m no stranger to the work that comes with taking care of them. I’ve helped care for entire puppy litters and have experience with end of life care as well. Over the years, I’ve been around dogs at all stages of life and have learned that no two dogs are exactly alike. I’m comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s pet, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your dog. I have a flexible work schedule and can handle most of my work from home or my phone, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my daily routine. I can plan my day around visits, walks, feeding, and spending time with your pet, while making sure they get the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet is cared for in a safe, familiar environment. I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated during visits and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I have a dog of my own, so I’m mindful of making sure every pet is comfortable and safe when boarding. If your pet isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I can easily arrange for my dog to stay with family so your pet can have their own space.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and small pets for over 12 years, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior pet who needs extra care, or a shy cat that needs space, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. I provide plenty of love, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and regular photo updates, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or playtime. I always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Before each booking, I take the time to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any special needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve helped raised 10 dogs: 2 samoyds, 2 golden retrievers, 2 labs, a border collie, a Dobermann, a Bernese mountain dog, and a chihuahua. I also was a door to door and pizza delivery man who Interacted with every type of dog as a stranger entering their territory. I’ve been in multiple threatening positions and have a lot of confidence from that. I can read demeanor very well. My most recent partner and I ended things and she took the dogs. Sad country song in the making lol. I find this therapeutic and isn’t just a side hustle. I genuinely love all dogs and it helps me just as much as helping you. I work from home as an insurance broker. I will shape my schedule around the dogs. I can also work anywhere so it allows me to travel to you as well. I have a fenced back yard with locks on the gate. My office is in the back yard with a big window for me to see them. I am an active dog watcher who goes with the flow of what the owner requests. I do not like leaving them alone ever. If I come to your house I will not have any guests over and I always give active updates.
About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 7 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night. I do host up to 3 dogs at a time and have a small pup of my own, so I ask that your dog is well socialized.
About: My love for animals started when I was a little girl. Animals have always been my go to for happiness comfort and love. Meeting new animals always brings me joy. I understand the trust and responsibility that comes with taking care of someone's fur babies. I'm an open book I'm currently going to school online so I have a completely flexible schedule and can't wait for this new venture in my life I prefer not to care for animals in my own home. I have an older relative that's very particular about his house and doesn't allow pets
About: I’ve had various types of pets since I was a kid. I love taking care of animals and getting to hang out with them. I can’t wait to meet yours! :) I am currently working part time and I can take care of pets before or after work. My availability is rather open, though I do have more openings in the evening. I can pet-sit overnight most days of the week :) I have a medium/large fenced yard, which is perfect for playing fetch in! I also go on walks regularly around my neighborhood and would love to take your pets with me :)
About: Growing up with both cats and dogs and currently living with our dog Kylo and cat Kala, I have a genuine love for taking care of pets. Love getting out on walks, and with Kylo being a husky, I am definitely used to some leash pulling! We also love a good game of tug-of-war. Working from home, I can be super attentive to your pup’s needs. We have a fenced in yard that they can have access to at anytime throughout the day. While I am not a trainer by any means, I worked with a trainer when we first rescued Kylo that gave me a lot of confidence to work well dogs and understand their behavior more. My first experience dog sitting was for a husky of a family member. We would go on walks, and she loved trying to chase the deer in the neighborhood. Subsequently, the neighbors asked if I would come sit for their Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was just a large ball of energy! I can provide play time and will also ensure that your dog will be comfortable during their stay. I work full time from home but am done with work around 2pm. Working from a computer makes it easy to keep an eye on your dog, be able to take breaks to play and potty, and follow up with lots of good afternoon time. I have a fenced in yard, and Kylo is very friendly and would love to play with your dog. Our cat is kept separate from the dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ketron
Pazao took great care of our fur babies. We have two dogs and a cat and they enjoyed their time with her. She sent pictures of them throughout our week away. We really appreciated how well she communicated with us before and throughout the booking. We hope to have her again for housesitting and petsitting in the future.
Jasmine was such a great sitter for Dakota! Always kept me updated on their day with plenty of photos - which I loved. If I were to have forgotten anything, I would have been at peace knowing her home was well stocked with plenty of pet essentials. And she had a great space for Dakota to be comfortable. I would 100% book again!
Alysa was an absolutely wonderful house sitter! She took such great care of all our animals and clearly treated them like her own. Our home was left spotless, communication was prompt and friendly, and we loved receiving updates and photos—especially of our pups enjoying their walks! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would 100% trust Alysa with our animals again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 🐾✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,046 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ketron. 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 Ketron 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 Ketron 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 Ketron 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.
