“Ryan is AWESOME!!! I didn't worry once while I was away from my babies and home because I knew they would be taken care of. Ryan communicated with me every day and assured me that all was well. It is hard enough to be away, but at least I knew my pups were comfortable at home with a great sitter. I was more worried about Ryan being comfortable away from his home. Great experience and we will definitely be requesting Ryan's assistance in the near future! Thanks again Ryan!”
“Jennifer was great! This is the second time we’ve used her and my boys love her! She was flexible and went out of her way to make everyone comfortable. We’re so happy we found her!”
“Reed did a great job taking care of our older German Shepherds and house sitting for us. He took the dogs on walks and played fetch with them. I loved the pics he sent. Will definitely use him again!”
“Jamie did a fantastic job taking care of our house+animals over the long weekend and was so sweet and flexible when our plane got delayed and we needed her for longer. We 100% will book with her again!”
“I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional dog-sitting service provided by SJ during our recent vacation. From the very first meeting, we knew we were leaving our beloved dog, Tama, in capable hands. SJ’s warm demeanor and professionalism gave us the confidence to leave our home and our furry family member for ten days. During our time away, SJ kept us updated with daily pictures and thoughtful messages that described her adventures with Tama. Knowing that she understood his severe anxiety issues and took special care to ensure he was never alone was incredibly reassuring. It was evident that she genuinely cared for Tama, providing him with companionship, walks, and playtime. Her efforts went above and beyond our expectations; she even took the time to retrieve our mail and complete several other chores we had requested. We cannot recommend SJ highly enough. She is trustworthy, honest, and a fantastic communicator, making the entire experience stress-free. We came home to a happy dog and a well-maintained house, which speaks volumes about her dedication and thoroughness. Hiring SJ was one of the best decisions we made, and we have no regrets. We would absolutely recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter.”
“Casie is a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went above and beyond to take care of are are dog and cat. Would highly recommend her. She is very responsive and communicative are top notch. Thanks!!!!”
“KC was everything we wanted in a house/pup sitter. She kept us constantly updated and even provided us with pictures throughout the day. She even brought in our mail for us. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you again for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Lydia was wonderful in caring for our cat, Cleo. She followed instructions, was very communicative (many pictures and updates), took great care of our home, and most importantly, gave Cleo the love and affection she was wanting. We would definitely book her again!”
“Kelly was great. She was flexible and communicative. When we got back home, we could tell that Sam felt cared for and attended to in our absence which is always a relief after being away, even for a short time.”
“Rose was fantastic! She genuinely wanted to know about our doggos and kitties so they felt more comfortable while we were gone. She sent so many pictures, which I love, she also played with our dogs so much! She had very prompt replies and was very thoughtful during the meet and greet!”
About: I have worked with horses as a teenager. And look after pets for a neighbor, family, and friends. I have a friendly dog that loves to play with other pets. Have watched puppies and senior. Right now I am at home full time so can have pets anytime and any day of the month. And have a car to drive. And have not met a dog that didn't like me. I a big front yard and backyard, have a big dog house outside, have a open living room and kitchen so have enough room for pets to move around and play. And I own a dog who is very friendly with other pets. And my yard is treated so pets don't need to worry about pests.
“Absolutely can not thank Sonia enough. She was available on short notice. Very easy to meet with and plan with. Sent lots of updates and photos during the weekend. Will definitely be checking with her for any future needs. My girls were well taken care of and so happy when I came home. Fantastic pet sitter/house sitter.”
“Addie had great communication and took perfect care of all of our critters while we were on vacation for the week. As well as our house. All the pups and the cat loved her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“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!”
“Stacy took exceptional care of my dog and cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on extra walks, hikes, and spent a lot of time with her. I’m very happy with her care and would recommend Stacy to anyone that wants a very happy puppy to come home to!”
About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and my own pets. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, keeping them on their normal routine, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat every pet as if they were my own while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I work part-time therefore my schedule changes each week, but I never work all day so I have plenty of time to see your loved one! I volunteer at shelters and I also have a shelter dog myself, so struggles with the leash is no problem for me! I’d love to take your dog on a walk or come visit them at the house!
“Alex was absolutely wonderful, and both my dogs adored her! She sent me updates on how they were doing, and they were obviously having fun and being well-cared for. Alex will be top of my list whenever I'm needing a pet sitter in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Kiefer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 442 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 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.
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.
