“Not everyone is comfortable with big dogs - so it was so great that we found Dominique to house sit with our boys (GS and GS/Lab mix)! They were in love with her, following her around the house wanting all her attention. I especially liked the long walks she took then on each day. She even got our one dog, Kailo. to go a farther distance than usual and kept up with Koda (energy of a puppy)! Thanks, Dominique!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”
“Mara was great, the dogs seemed to really like her. She was on time, communicative, and respectful of the house. She sent lots of pictures, took all three on a walk at once which isn’t easy to do. She was patient with my old gal with doggy dementia. I would hire her again”
“Ava is a genuinely nice person who clearly loves dogs. She is reliable and very good with communication When she arrived she quickly bonded with both dogs. She sent updates and pictures during the day so that we did not worry at all when she was sitting our dogs. We will definitely have Ava on the top of our list for sitting in the future”
“Sebastian is a wonderful dog and house sitter. Dora and Scout were in great spirits when we returned from our trip and the house was clean! I would recommend Sebastian to other dog and home owners.”
“Thank you, Holly for your service in watching Ryder and being with him. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I loved the pictures you sent from the trips you made to the park. My brother said rides in the car are what he lives for. I appreciate your efforts to entertain him. It helps so much to be relieved knowing there is someone there for him. He gets lonely so easily.”
About: Beyond my thrilling experiences taking care of, and providing fun/enrichment for, a wide variety of animals throughout most of my life, I quickly get tuned into an individual pet's needs. While continuous learning means always researching more about any animals under my care, I also understand that proper care is more beneficial by trying to bond with your pet. But I promise I won't try to become their most favorite person! :-) I have been working remotely as an independent consultant but without any new full-time contracts recently. While still pursuing part-time remote work (contracts or employment), I wanted to maximize my additional time towards supporting pet parents who need a sitter, dog walker, or anything else for their pets that I can provide. As I have a free-roam house rabbit of my own, I can only care for pets at a client's home. (Or on walks, at the dog park, or elsewhere as reasonably requested/permitted by the client.) Your pet's care & safety, comfort, and enrichment are my top priorities.
“Melissa was great with our baby puppy and cat. She was thoughtful and thorough in her updates and questions. She even helped us work through some puppy tummy troubles. Her patience and care was greatly appreciated as this was our first time away from our puppy. She also took great care of the house and made sure the pets and the home were comfortable for all upon our arrival. Excellent help and care!”
“Erik was awesome. He took care of my energetic dog Cashew in my apartment for 2.5 weeks, and it went super well. He sent photos and videos every couple days, with updates to let me know how it was going. Cashew seemed to love him. I would 100% recommend Erik!”
“Ashleigh took very good care of our dog and cat. We really appreciate her daily update, photos of our babies and thoughtful card. We will definitely ask her for help again. Thanks Ashleigh!”
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Peter was great. He took the time to connect with our Great Dane in advance so that their time together was as seamless as possible. He provided updates during our time away about our dog and home. He took great care of our pup and our home.”

About: Hello! My name is Laima and I have 6+ years of experience taking care of pups of all sizes and energy levels. I love spending time with dogs, whether they are a super chill snuggler or a high-energy adventurer. I’ve worked with well-trained ones (I sometimes care for my friend’s Canine Companion breeder dog) as well as rowdy ones who need a bit more attention. I lived in a home for over four years with two small dogs owned by the homeowners— I regularly took them on long walks around the neighborhood or cared for them full-time when the owners traveled. Currently, I live with housemates who have a tiny, 17-year old dog, who I care for when they’re away, which includes administering heart and lung medication. I also have experience taking care of my friends’ and housemates’ cats and absolutely love cats!😻 While I don’t personally own pets, I do find a lot of joy in caring for other people’s critters. I currently live in Sebastopol and work remotely full-time, which gives me quite a lot of flexibility. I’m oftentimes available Monday through Friday, with occasional weekends as well. I’m also happy to house-sit for longer periods and will work with you to make sure your pet’s needs are met. I’m reliable, attentive, responsible, and genuinely care about making sure your pets feel comfortable and loved. Before I start, I’ll take the time to fully understand their routine, feeding schedule, playtime preferences, and any other special needs.
About: I have always had dogs and have experience pet sitting for multiple families. I’m responsible, caring, patient, and dedicated to keeping pets safe and happy. I work part time in retail so some days I will not be able to be with them the whole day but will be present any chance I get In any clients home I am attentive and respectful of their privacy, space, and fur babies. I am happy to complete any tasks big or small
“Fast forward to my husband and I getting home after Cecilia’s stay to let the dogs out of their crate….. (after greeting us, of course) they ran to the guest room to look for Cecilia!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Knowles Corner
Leila took great care of our high energy dog when we were out of town for a week. We do not travel much so our dog was really struggling with separation anxiety. Leila kept me updated and we developed a plan together. I appreciate her being dependable and flexible given the circumstances.
Laura was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of Bailey and Ahti! She logged all of Bailey’s medications so we could follow it, and was on top of all of her needs. Both of our pets were calm and happy to see us when we got home, telling us they had a wonderful, relaxing, playful time with Laura. We would be more than happy to have Laura watch Bailey and Ahti at our home again!
My dog was clearly happy and well cared for. She was acting like "Welcome back, where's Roisin?" Roisin sent lots of pictures, kept in good communication, took my dog on hikes and walks that we can no longer do. My dog was thrilled and so were we. Roisin stayed over a couple of nights and you'd never know anyone had been here...except for the happy dog. We will definitely asked her back again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Knowles Corner is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Knowles Corner 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 Knowles Corner 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 Knowles Corner 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
