“Best home sitting experience I’ve ever had. Ryan went above and beyond. He was home with my fur babies basically the whole time never really left the house except to run a few errands. He also kept me updated every single day by sending me pictures and letting me know how things were going. My dogs seemed very happy and never felt lonely. 10 out of 10.”
“My animals love Hannah and are always excited to have her here. I was able to take another trip without worry, knowing that wonderful care and attention would be given in my absence. Thank you Hannah!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we feel so fortunate to have had Bryce sit with our dogs. Bryce is a lovely, consciencious young lady, with a calm, mature personality. She clearly loves dogs and Felix and Fanny took to her very quickly. Bryce volunteered to come over in advance of the sit to do a walk with the dogs and to observe some of their routines at home. She was in touch with us during our time away and provide updates and pictures. On the last day, Bryce checked in with us to make sure we were on schedule getting back and so see if there was anything else she could do for us. We were extremely happy with Bryce's help and recommend her highly. (I would give a 6th star if this was an option!)”
“Jennie was incredibly easy to work with and very flexible with the needs of our dogs. We have 3 dominant breed dogs who can be a handful but Jennie came to meet them with confidence and got to know them individually. She was patient and treated them with love. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I have been in love with animals since I was a child. My mother spoiled me with what ever animal I wanted hamsters, dogs, cats, rabbits pigeons you name it I had it. Currently my husband and I have two Cockapoos Raven 8 pounds and Zena 18 pounds. We love them with all of our heart and will treat your fur baby as our own. While your fur baby hangs out with us we will walk the trials along with our pups. I have been dog setting for about 10 years and my girls love the opportunity to play with new furry friends. Im passionate when it comes to my baby's and your pups will be treated with lots of love and attention just like there my own.
“Ricky is a perfect dogsitter. I came home after several days and my two dogs were relaxed and happy and the puppy hadn't destroyed the house. I plan to use Ricky again and my neighbor asked how to book him because she was impressed with him too. Thanks Ricky!”
About: Caring for my own pets until their very last day taught me the importance of love, patience, and attentiveness. Now, for the first time in my life, I find myself without a pet, but I’ve started filling that hole by offering pet sitting as I heal. With years of hands-on experience, I’m skilled in administering medication, handling special diets, and providing gentle, compassionate care for pets with unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being there for your pet, I offer dedicated care with a deep understanding of what it means to love and lose a furry family member. Working remotely allows me to be home and attentive throughout the day, making pet care a seamless part of my daily routine. I’m active, and my older kids (12 and 17) share my love for animals, so your pet will have plenty of company and playtime. I currently pet sit for multiple friends, so I’m experienced in managing different schedules and needs. I’m open to overnight stays or having your pet stay with us, and if your furry friend enjoys car rides, they’re welcome to join us on errands or school drop-offs. I’m flexible and committed to ensuring your pet’s comfort, whether they prefer staying home, riding along, or need to be crated. In my home, I create a warm and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and loved. I ensure they have a comfortable space to relax, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and regular access to the outdoors if needed. I maintain their routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to playtime, and I’m attentive to any special needs, such as administering medication or adhering to dietary restrictions. My older kids also love interacting with pets, so there’s no shortage of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect and follow the established routines and guidelines. I provide updates, whether through photos or messages, to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away. I’m diligent about maintaining the cleanliness and order of your home, making sure your pet is well-cared for in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’m committed to providing the best care possible, tailored to the specific needs of your pet.
About: Ive never not had a dog, ive trained puppies in basic commands (wait, sit, down, paw, roll over, etc), currently have a Malinois/Shepherd mix (6yr) and an Aussie mix (2yr). Previously ive had both large and small (from Dacshund/Chihuahua mix to purebred Golden Retriever) and have mkre experiance with a pack (2+) than a singular fur baby. Full time worker, but able to have an hour lunch to go home and let the pups out. Aside from that, I am used to working my schedule around pets and their needs, my job is flexible enough as are my regular evening plans. Im totally able to keep your fur babies happy and healthy while youre gone. I provide snuggles, "good boy/girl" compliments, and treats (if applicable). If crating is needed I have current and previous experiance. I also provide pictures and videos - because im already taking them of the little angels 🤣
“Taylor was wonderful in house sitting and caring for my fur baby. She communicated daily with pictures and a variety of activities. She cleaned her dishes and laundered the towels and comforter she used. I am looking forward to booking Taylor again!”
About: I have experience providing care for dogs through assisting my mom with her dog walking and pet-sitting services. This has given me hands-on experience with dog handling, exercise, and ensuring the well-being of pets in our care. Along with getting my own dog this year I feel very ready to take on any dog walking given to me! I am currently employed at a restaurant so I form my schedule around that. Even though I have another job my schedule is still very flexible. I genuinely love dogs so so much. I make sure to show that I understand how important it is to follow instructions, keep the dog safe, and make sure they have a good time. Honesty, respect, and good communication are key!
About: My dog is 100% spoiled (see above about Instagram) so rest assured that I love on all other dogs as if they're my own. I absolutely LOVE anything and everything about dogs because who wouldn't?! My apartment is never fully clean because dog toys must all be out at once so my fur child has options, so yes I really enjoy playing. Couch snuggles are my absolute favorite and I think it's SO CUTE how much dogs love peanut butter. I work 9-5 Monday-Friday, but I am able to take a break at lunch. My weekends are almost always free (sad, I know). Lastly, I'm not afraid at all to clean up after a dog who makes a mess. My friends frequently laugh at me for my unapologetic extreme love of dogs, but that just makes me the best person to love your babies when you can't. I'd love absolutely nothing more than to be able to put your mind at ease when you can't be with your pet by loving on them unconditionally. My dog is basically my child so I know I'd want someone like me to take care of him when I can't. Your pets deserve the absolute best and I believe that's me :) Please let me be the one you trust with your fur children, you will not regret it!
About: I've had dogs (as well as cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs) in my home my whole life. I worked at Top Dog Ranch for a little over a year, therefore, I am adaptable with feedings, meds, and all types of play and cuddles! I work tues-fri, 9-4 as a sewing assistant. My lunch break is flexible, and I am able to stop by and check in your pet anytime! I have a 15lbs yorkie mix named Ellie, she came from a hoarding situation 3 years ago, which calls for a lot of patience, and daily medication. I understand how situations can effect a living beings personality and reactions. While I am away taking care of your pet, my fiancee (who is also on rover) takes care of my little ellie perfectly!
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs at home and am very passionate about all animals; big and small. I love taking care of pets and my priority is making sure they’re happy, healthy, and having a good time! Whether that means going on walks, playing with toys, or hanging out inside, I’m willing to participate in any activity to make your pet(s) feel comfortable and cared for. I’m a freelance photographer and have a lot of spare time to petsit either a couple of times a day or for days at a time. I am available (typically) everyday and have a very flexible schedule. The majority of my “unavailable” days in my calendar consist of me petsitting for clients outside of Rover :) I am happy and willing to adhere to any rules and routines you have in your home. I’m a quick learner and like to write things down to make sure I have everything in order. I am nothing if not a rule-follower! 🫡
“Cierra was really great with our dog and cat. She sent so many pics and our shy cat seemed to be really comfortable with her! This was our first time leaving them with someone other than family so we were a bit nervous, but she was great! Will definitely use again”
“Amber came for a meet and greet which I think is so important. She asked questions and sent pics while I was away. I felt so much more relaxed knowing she was here. And she even fixed a door handle that was broke ?.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. i am currently working from 10-4 but have the flexibility to take a few breaks throughout the day to check on animals and accommodate walks In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for pets exactly as instructed—maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their family is away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kiefer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 435 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kiefer. 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 Kiefer 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 Kiefer 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 Kiefer 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kiefer. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
