“Kristi watched our two dogs while we went out of town for two nights. She is by far the best dog sitter we have ever used with Rover or privately. You can tell right away she loves the dogs. When we came back it was apparent they missed her after she left. What more could one say when your own dogs misses her! If you want a worry free time away from your dogs she is the sitter for you!! Also her response with texts & pictures were fantastic.”
“Holly is great. We felt good leaving our pets with Holly. One of our dogs, Cooper isn't the easiest to get along with new people, but she put him at ease and I can tell the dogs were happy. Holly left the house nice and even cleaned up the dogs homemade dog food containers. She also watered all my plants and changed out a beeping smote detector. We will definitely keep booking Holly to take care of our dogs.”
“I was thoroughly impressed with McKenzie's exceptional care for Riley. Despite Riley's initial apprehension around new people, she quickly warmed up to McKenzie and remained calm throughout their time together. McKenzie's communication skills were excellent during her four-day stay. I can only give the highest possible recommendation and would definitely book her again.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my home for the weekend and took great care of my two cats and my senior Shih Tzu, who requires a little extra attention. I came home to happy pets, a tidy house, and complete peace of mind. She communicated well throughout her stay and made everything feel effortless. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Katie dog sat for my 2 dogs for 2 nights in our home. She made sure my dog with a heart condition took her meds 4 times per day and took them for walks. She made sure they were fed and sent me messages on questions or comments she had. Our home was left in tact the way we left it. Thank you Katie for sitting with our dogs!”
“Cailin was amazing! She kept us in the loop with everything with our fish and dog. She was responsive and helpful. We came back to a happy puppy and clean house! We will definitely use her for our futures needs.”
“Besides excellent care for our old gal, Blue, a HUGE plus is that Kim left the house looking like I had just stepped out to grocery shop and came back an hour later. The only " footprint" she left was a happy pup! Thank you, Kim!!”
“Madison watched our little dog Sophie, she is a senior, blind in one eye and is very shy. Within a short amount of time had her sitting on her lap. We were so impressed and excited that they had connected. At the meet and greet she was very professional and took notes of all of our request, plus had her own list of great questions. She sent pictures of our little one everyday and comments of how she was doing. And when we returned from our trip the house was just as we left it very clean and the sheets were washed and on the bed. She also, checked in with us right before our return to make sure our plans and times had not changed. We would highly recommend Madison and we will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Madison for taking such good care of our little girl….”
“Kayla had excellent communication before, during, and at the end of our booking. She stayed in our home and watched our two dogs and they were super happy when we got home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Our dogs are currently looking around the house for Sara. They were glad we're back, to an extent--but they miss her. There was no tip big enough, no commendation great enough than that our dogs love Sara and want her back. She is an excellent caretaker, trustworthy, honest and loves the dogs. What a gift! Thank you, Sara! We'll see you again soon!”
“Sage sat our home, 3 dogs, and old cat for 12 days while we were out of country. Everyone was healthy and happy when we got home and the house looked great. We’ve used Sage a few times and she is honest, dependable, and great with our pets! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a pet sitter.”
“Sydney is an amazing person and a great cat sitter. She's genuine, honest, responsive, and super thorough. Not only did she look after Moose, but she played with him, gave him attention, and really cared for him. He wasn't feeling great one night, so she stayed up with him until he fell asleep. When I got home, she had cleaned the litter area, changed the sheets, and washed the bedding. Five stars for Sydney!”
“Jen did a fabulous job taking care of our pets! I have dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. One of my pups is 17 years old and takes a couple of medications. Jen didn’t flinch at the work and she was very reasonable. The pets loved her and she kept us updated while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi I’m Madison! I love animals and have dog sat on multiple occasions for elderly and young dogs. I’d love to take care of your animals in exchange for the happiness I’ll get from walking and interacting with them! I have pretty open availability at the moment. I can pop in a couple times during the week or stay longer if needed. I do have animals at home so extended days will need to be talked about. I have a large yard that I can take your dog out to play in! There is also a park with a bunch of trails nearby!

Tereza was a wonderful dog and house sitter. She was amazing with the dogs; they loved her from the Meet and Greet. She constantly sent us the cutest pictures. Tereza was also flexible with our schedule. We highly recommend her and would definitely hire her next time!
Tereza is the best pet/house sitter I have ever had! My Addie is afraid of everything and everyone except Tereza. She is so kind and patient with both my animals and I have absolutely no worries whatsoever leaving for a week or so. Thank you so much Tereza 💕

FAQs for House Sitting - Knowlton Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 930 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Knowlton Heights. 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 Knowlton Heights 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 Knowlton Heights 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Knowlton Heights 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.
