“Such great care! Ky was so friendly and kind to my pups. She kept them company, made sure they had lots of love and treats, and communicated frequently on their status. I would absolutely book her again.”

“This was my first time leaving our puppy Fritz and first time using Rover. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Adrienne! I appreciated the daily check ins and pics/videos and I could tell that Fritz was happy and content and well cared for. I would recommend Adrienne and will use her again the next time we go out of town without the pup.”

“Patricia was very attentive and detail oriented, and she made sure to cover all of her bases when preparing to care for our pup. She is experienced and professional. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to others!”

“Would highly recommend Michelle! She’s very communicative during booking and during the service. It’s wonderful to know our home and our pup is in such responsible and caring hands.”

“Madolyn did an amazing job with our fur babies! You can see how much she loves animals with the way she interacts and cares for them. I hired Madolyn to house sit and watch our dogs. She gave regular updates on the girls, and took such good care of our home. This turned out to be a fantastic outcome, and I recommend Madolyn to anyone looking for a caring, respectful, and trustworthy sitter. We will definitely have Madolyn back!!!!”

“Heidi was amazing. She was very accommodating in terms of finding a time for a meet and greet. When my son decided he wanted to entertain her and have her attention as I showed her around, she was a great sport. She was super non-judgmental about the state of our house, and put me at ease. She was great with our pets while we were gone, and sent adorable photos. When we got home, I found that she had washed all of the odd dishes we hadn’t had a chance to wash before we left. She also shoveled the walkway! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again, next time we go on vacation.”

“Quazaye and our dog Deetz connected the first time they meet. She had a definite concern for our dog. We were out of the area for four days. During that time we were comfortable that Quazaye was taking care of our pet. After we arrived home I noticed that Deetz was laying by the front door apparently waiting for Quazaye a sure sign that she had taken very good care of him. We would definitely consider using the services of Rover and Quazaye in the future if needed.”

“I have a couple challenging pets, including an anxious, blind senior dog but Carolina moved at their pace and took great care of them. She was communicative and I got pictures every day. We came home to the house exactly as we left it. She’s kind and respectful.”

About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.

“Brianna was a very attentive dog sitter to our high energy pup! She was also very good about letting us know when Sloane acted up so that we could help her handle the situation! Such a great house guest! She even stripped the bed!”

“Alex did a great job with Tucker. She bonded with him immediately, he was feed, walked and pampered. Communication was excellent, we got lots of photos and updates. We will definitely use Alex again”

“It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.”

“Alexandra was fantastic! She took very good care of our fur baby, Toco. Alexandra provided frequent updates on Toco’s care, which helped us relax and enjoy our family reunion. I’m excited to have found someone local to utilize in the future. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a mature, responsible animal lover to take care of your fur babies. Thank you! Alexandra.”

About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!
“Amber is amazing, she came over and our dogs took to her immediately. Our oldest puppy can be a little challenging due to her being skittish, but Amber’s personality and energy helped ease her nervousness. Very reliable, and was able to help us out on short notice. I HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life! Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also worked for Wag, which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much about caring for pets. My schedule is extremely flexible and I only work part time, so I can care for your pets at almost any time of day, especially mornings and afternoons. In a client's home, the pets are in a familiar environment with an unfamiliar person. So, the first thing I do is give the pets a chance to get used to me! Let them sniff me, let them approach me at their own pace.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care our three small dogs received from Abigail! They were clearly loved and well looked after — happy and relaxed when we returned. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs can be a handful, but they were calm and content thanks to the patient, attentive care. Absolutely a **5-star experience** — we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Melissa watched our pets for the first time for an evening while we were out and it went great! We came home to happy healthy cats and dog. She had great communication and provided updates throughout the evening. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for other pet sitting needs.”

About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!
“Dominique completed his second house sit for my two pups (6 nights) and we continue to endorse him as a qualified / reliable sitter! Communication again proved to be consistent. Water bowls were full and my house was just how I left it. My large dogs are prone to acting out if they do not get enough attention (especially over long periods). It was great coming home and not seeing any indication of unsatisfied pups. Fully recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Kneeland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kneeland. 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 Kneeland 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 Kneeland 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 Kneeland 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kneeland. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
