“Absolutely wonderful dog sitters. Our dogs were comfortable with them from the start. They ensured the best care of our home as well. Even watering our flowers. Would recommend this couple any time!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, helping out neighbors, family, and friends. I absolutely love spending time with them especially taking them on walks and making sure they’re happy and well cared for! I’m available to walk your dog on Mondays and Tuesdays anytime after 6:15 PM, and on Wednesdays and Thursdays anytime after 5:15 PM I am willing to arrange with your schedule also. I can do some weekends and arrange my weekends around yours if needed! I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick closely to their usual routine, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide
About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!
“Emma was great with our dog and cat! She's a great communicator and sent us lots of photos. Our dog, who can be very picky, immediately felt comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend Emma for your house sitting needs!”
About: I've been helping care for my family's dog, Banjo, since we got him over 8 years ago and I've also watched over both cats and dogs for my family and friends over the years. I'm a huge animal lover and someday I'd like to foster animals so I'm hoping to get even more experience on here. No preference for cats/dogs, breed, size, age, or anything really. My schedule is pretty open right now, but of course the sooner you ask the more likely I'll be available. I'm flexible though so I'm willing to work any day or time. I will not only follow your instructions to the T, but I'll really try to bond with and make pet sitting a fun experience for your pets.
About: I’m a former pet parent with over 20 years of experience raising rescues. I am missing the energy of dogs and cats and am here to give back to the community as an experienced caregiver. Experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and also cats. I currently work a part time schedule that allows for a lot of time for your pet. Also available for overnights in your home depending on the distance and availability. I keep a very clean home and a tidy yard for your pet. Crates are always welcome. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it sits up against a nice ravine. Happy to let roam in the yard on a rooted line or walk on the path to Peabody park.
About: I grew up on a dairy farm and have been pet sitting since I was young! My first pet sitting job was caring for my neighbors 60+ show rabbits. I have worked in various settings with animals in veterinary practices, horse stables, farms, and dog kennels. I have 2 dogs of my own and 1 cat! I currently work full time. I am available before and after work and on the weekends. My work schedule is very flexible. If I need to leave early or start late I do have the freedom to do so to care for your furry friend. When I am pet sitting for someone, I always treat their pets as if they’re my own. I love spending time with animals and caring for them! I have 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and am very comfortable administering medication and working with pets with high needs.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have two cats, which is easier with our sports schedule, but I miss having a dog to walk. So, I thought I'd see if you needed help with yours. I'm working part-time and own a business. Both provide me flexibility to be there when your dog needs me. My kids are old enough for me to be gone for short stints. Prefer walking schedules during, morning, afternoon, or late evening as those provide me the best opportunity to give your pets the attention they deserve. Experience walking dogs with leash aggression. Can typically recognize it in your dog or the dogs we are approaching. Will always keep animals leashed in public.
About: A vacation for you .. but also for them!! My fiancé, Chris, and I have experience with puppies/training, giving medication, and it is always a fun time when we get to give baths! Growing up, my family had a Bishon Shitzu mix (aka Teddy Bear), and a giant Yellow Labrador. Chris had a Shitzu growing up. I accompanied our yellow lab, Ruger, to all of his puppy trainings. I was also a main caretaker for our teddy bear, Buster, while my parents were away for long periods at a time. We are loving of all pets (cats, fish, hamsters, etc.) and would love to watch them too! My fiancé and I want a dog in the near future but with our schedules and where we are at in life right now it is much better to spoil your furry ones instead!! We usually do requests together so that your loved ones always have attention from at least one of us! We have opposite schedules so if one of us is not available, the other one usually is! Feel free to ask my any questions that you may have!! I currently work as a full-time RN which entails three 12-hr shifts a week. However, my schedule can be very flexible on when you would like me to stop by, and I love going on walks so that is always a priority in my day .. I would love for your fluffy friend to join me! Chris is a project engineer which takes up most of his time during the week. However, his weekends are free if I were to have to work. Whatever your routine is with your pet, we will follow! Whatever we can do to adapt and make your pet more comfortable is what we will do! Your rules are our rules so that you do not have to worry about your pet losing the training that you have worked on for so long! Don’t be shy with preferences, we are here to make you feel comfortable while you are away!
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old, when my family adopted a miniature schnauzer. Even before then, we had everything from hamsters to fish and the like, kid pets, ya know? Following our dog’s passing, I’ve helped care for a senior cat that my parents had and also three different orange cats that my wife and I have shared over the last three years! Being a cat owner, there isn’t too much of my non-work daily or weekly schedule that isn’t taking care of them: cleaning the litter box, keeping their automatic feeder and water filled, giving them wet food and playing with them! Caring for your cats animals as I have in the past will fight right in with my schedule, and I can’t wait to work with you! I always make sure to take myself on a walk daily, and I’d love to take your best friend with me! I get in 1-2 miles daily, but I am willing to adjust this to fit your pets needs. In your home I’d love to feed, spend time and play with, and care for your pet.

“Rowan helped us out in a pinch and was great to work with. I could tell through the communication with him that he really cares about animals. He made every effort to make our anxious pup comfortable. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
“Briana and Ben were great! It was a last minute booking so we had 1 meet and greet before the house sat for our 2 big dogs. One of our dogs is sometimes afraid of males, but he warmed right up to Ben instantly! They had great communication and sent photo updates during their stay. Our pups can’t wait for them to “babysit” again :)”

Deserves way more than 5 stars! Mariah was great with our dog. Very attentive, responsible, and followed directions/care instructions. Never once felt like we had to worry about our dog in her care. Updated us with pictures and videos on a consistent basis and our pup loved her! She even brought our trash back to our house from the curb without us asking. We highly recommend booking Mariah and we will for sure be booking again in the future!
Gavin was great! My cats are notoriously shy with new people. Gavin made the effort to find them in their hiding spots to make sure they were okay and then gave them their space to let them warm up on their own terms. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in Gavin’s care and would love for him to watch them again.
Aisha was so thoughtful and intentional with the way she took care of our pups and we are so appreciative of her time. I also really appreciated the pictures and updates I got throughout her stay as well. I could tell that my dogs were happy and well cared for and that helped me relax and enjoy my trip.

The average cost of House Sitting in Kimberly is $71 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $95 per night.

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 Kimberly 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 Kimberly 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 Kimberly 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.
