“Once again, Ryan took great care of the dogs! I think they are more excited to see him than us when he comes over.!😂 If you need someone who is a great sitter and someone who really cares and communicates great with you, then RYAN IS YOUR GUY!!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality! From energetic puppies who want to play all day to older pets who just want a cozy spot and some company, I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them most comfortable. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and have built great relationships with owners who trust me to care for their furry family members. Many of my clients have booked with me repeatedly, and I take that trust seriously! Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets I’m watching. I love being able to keep them company throughout the day, stick to their usual routines, and make sure they get the attention they deserve. I primarily offer house sitting and drop-in visits because I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, a little extra patience, or someone to curl up next to while I work, I’m happy to be their temporary best friend! And of course, you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away! I work remotely full-time, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my everyday routine! As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to set up my laptop, I can work from just about anywhere, including your home. This means I can spend much of the day keeping your pets company rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I’m available for overnight house sitting, drop-in visits, and care throughout the week, including weekends. I can easily work potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention into my workday. I also have flexibility for last-minute requests and pets who need a little extra attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a full-time couch companion or just someone to stop by and check in, I’m happy to work around their routine! I believe pets are most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That’s why I focus on house sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay in the environment where they feel safest. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions before their stay. I’ll follow your feeding schedules, walking preferences, household rules, and any safety precautions you have in place. I’m also very mindful of respecting your home. I’ll keep things clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and leave everything as I found it. Communication is a big priority for me! I’ll send regular pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing. I’ve had many repeat clients over the years, and I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets and your home. My goal is for you to come home to happy, relaxed pets and everything just as you left it!
“Ricky sends great updates through out the day that provide peace of mind while I’m traveling. He has a calm, friendly presence that my dogs, and also a great understanding of dog behavior/body language. I felt fully comfortable leaving my dogs and house in his care. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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.”
About: After 13 years of working in the veterinary field as a technician/assistant, I’ve decided to retire from that and work from home. I have been trained in fear free practices and work well with anxious/aggressive pets specifically. I have experience with all kinds of medical conditions and medications, including intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, mobility assistance, etc. I am available for overnight care in your home, drop by visits or daycare/boarding in my home. I have 3 senior dogs(two large poodles who are 11 and one maltese who is 13) and one cat in my home with no children or smoking, along with a large, fenced in yard of over half an acre for the pets to roam. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to interact and let pups out for potty breaks in between phone calls. My retired parents also live with me at the moment and are able to give pets and love all day as well. We love lap dogs. My 3 dogs are all seniors and fairly lazy, so my house is ideal for older pets or introverted pets that need personal space from other dogs. All of my dogs have been well socialized and trained while raised in veterinary clinic environments, so they’re used to others as long as they are well behaved. We love seniors here and create a calm, safe space for them.
“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!
“SJ house sat and cared for our dog, Wally. She was fantastic, very communicative and attentive to Wally. She sent frequent updates and photos to keep us updated on how he was doing. We highly recommend SJ!”
“I reached out to Francine on Rover and she was quick to respond with her availability. She made the effort to meet my dog before we left for vacation when i told her that hes a rescue and takes sometime to open up. She was punctual, communicative and had a lot of patience with my dog. Finally on day 3, he opened up to her! She kept the house neat and clean as well. Thank you Francine for taking care of my dog. I appreciate your time and patience with him. Will definitely be rebooking! Don’t hesitate to leave your pets in her care!”
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs almost all my life, including training them after becoming a teenager. I’ve also had opportunities to help neighbors with puppies. I understand feeding schedules and those weird dog habits Right now I’m unemployed so I’m free almost 24/7! Everyday of the week, no matter the time of day. I’m a morning person so can be as early as 6am! If the clients home doesn’t have a fence I take the dog on a walk every 2 hours, maybe sooner. As well as planned play dates
“Elizabeth is amazing! :) She truly cared for our fur babies like they were her own. Even when a rain storm came in, she took a few extra steps to help them relax as they get very anxious. She sent lots of communication and photos and made us feel completely at ease the entire time we were gone. It felt like we had someone from our own family watching them and it’s obvious the pups LOVE her! We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve had many years of experience with all kinds of animals. I truly love hanging out with them even if it’s a short amount of time! I’m a college student so I have classes in the morning but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays and only for a short amount of time. I also have a part time job but my shifts average 4-5.5 hours. I’ve really dealt with everything so I’m quite comfortable with different situations. I personally have a fenced in yard and I crate my puppy since she’s still training.
“What can we say??? Summer went beyond expectations to make sure our baby Bella was cared for and had fun! Se spent the nights, played fetch, and took her for a walk. She will definitely be our sitter of choice in the future!!! She is a SPECIAL young lady with a great personality and work ethic. She did everything we asked:)”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was very young. I am currently working as a veterinary technician. I have a bachelors degree in veterinary technology. I have medical expertise and experience in administering medications. I thoroughly enjoy working with new pet parents and I am happy to answer any questions about pet care. My only request is to meet with pet and owner in their home before the date of the service required. I am currently not working so I will have plenty of times for your pups! My schedule may be subject to change depending on employment situation. I am currently not able to house pets in my home at this time.however I am happy to take care of your pets in their home. Whether I need to walk them or just have them run around in a fenced in backyard either isn’t an issue. If I am staying overnight I pride myself in being a good house guest and make sure the house is as clean as when you left it. I have experience with training equipment such as choke collars, and basket muzzles as well.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past 20 years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, affection, and dependable routines are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and following each dog’s established schedule. I carefully follow owners’ instructions, provide regular photo updates, and treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I work remotely, so I’m home most weekdays and can provide regular supervision, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m also available for boarding, evening care, and weekends. Pets stay with me inside my clean, calm, pet-friendly apartment. I keep doors secure, supervise them carefully, and take them outside on a leash for regular walks and potty breaks. I follow every owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, medication, sleeping arrangements, and interactions with other dogs. I also send regular photo and video updates.
“Amy is the best! So caring and loving to our dogs. Takes care of all of the animals needs and goes out of her way to make them happy/comfortable. The best updates and pictures. Highly recommend booking!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 439 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 , 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.
