“Elizabeth is great!! I have a very hard time leaving my pet, as she is a puppy mill rescue and is very timid. My Lucy responds well to Elizabeth. I have peace of mind leaving her, knowing she is in good hands! I will most definitely book her again!! I'm looking forward to my next trip!”
“I thought I knew what a 5 star pet sitter was like, but Makayla has set a new standard! Our 2 cats and 2 dogs were WELL taken care of. One of our pitties can have door aggression, but after a meet and greet we found a way for Makayla to safely come and go while we were away. By the end of the trip, the anxious pittie was Makayla’s shadow. We got daily updates and pictures. Makayla knows how to take care of anxious pets AND their anxious pet-parents. We will absolutely be scheduling our next vacation around Makayla’s availability.”
“Morgan went above and beyond this time. One of our dogs had a health issue and had several accidents in the house. She was great about communicating with us and cleaning up after our dog. We really appreciate the work she did.”
“First time to have Cheyenne to dog and housesit (4 days). Communication was easy, including our initial meet and greet. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Will definitely consider Cheyenne again for future needs.”
About: I have had plenty of animals of my own including but not limited to- cats, dogs, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, rabbits, chickens and other farm animals. I have house sat for many different types of families. Full farms, medically challenged pets, senior animals, young animals. I love them all dearly! I can do drop ins and walks before work from 6-7am, and after work 6-7pm. Weekends vary, summers are busy but I can make it work! Regarding my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have plenty of leashes and secured leads. We live on a slow dirt road. No pet, even mine, is ever outside unattended or unleashed. Regarding your home, I will follow whatever rules are laid out for me if I am caring for your animal in their space.
“My wife and I had never used Rover before, so we were nervous about leaving our babies with someone new. Thalia was so kind, patient, and understanding. She sent lots of pictures and updates which really helped ease our minds, and it seemed like our babies really enjoyed having her around.”
“Kyanna was wonderful with our dogs! She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates regularly so we knew they were doing well. Highly recommend Kyanna and we will be using her again (:”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a baby, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand how important it is to give each pet patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and I’m available for pet care around my classes and work. I’m available afternoons, evenings, and weekends with advance notice. I’m also willing to do 4+ hours if needed just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine consistent, provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.
“Malena was great! Oliver loved her and she took great care of him, including giving him his daily medication. She also sent frequent updates with pictures so we could see he was doing well and communicated with us about our return time. In addition, she kept the house clean, and got our mail. It was so nice not to have to worry about Oliver or an empty house while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I was raised with both dogs and cats and have a good understanding of how to care for them in different stages of their life! I have been with my dogs since they were 1 year old until death. I have personal experience with medium and large sized dogs but am happy to care for any sized furry friend! Whether your pet is a cuddler or likes to be alone, I will always curate my care around what your pet needs and is comfortable with. I am a Junior at MSU studying Human Biology and hoping to become a doctor. I also work part time as a LMT so even though I have some time I’m out doing things, I have good sized gaps in my day to allow me to care for your pets! I am quite the homebody too so I do not mind spending time with your pets overnight or for long times! Other than the basic food and water, I am always ready to play with any pet. Whether roughhousing with a dog or playing with a cat in one place. I am also an active person and am more than happy to take your pet on a walk! I have experience with pets being scared during thunderstorms and use multiple techniques to calm them in their distress.
“Alexia was amazing! She stayed this weekend with the animals, and did a meet and greet before hand to meet us and the animals. We received many pictures throughout the weekend of our fur babies, everyone seemed very happy, and she left the house just as clean as it was when she got there.”
“Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.”
About: I’ve managed animals of all ages and I think of them as people!! From a puppy or kitten, to an older animal, they all need help being taken care of just as humans do! I’m diligent in spending quality time, administering medication or giving special attention to your animals needs, and I have fun with them! I’m a college student trying to make some extra money so I’d love to help take care of your animals and homes whenever you need!! I’d love to care for your animals in your home, as I have my own cats. I love to play in the yard, go for walks, or simply snuggle on the couch with your fur babies.
About: I have had cats as pets for as long as I can remember. I have also had rabbits and dogs too. I currently have 3 cats (a senior, adult and a kitten) and a 5 year old dog. I would love to help you with your furry family members! I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 elementary aged children in school so I am available during the day and most evenings so your pets will have lots of care and attention. I let the pets be themselves in my home. They are free to roam the house and get comfortable while they are in my care.
About: I’ve cared for all different types of animals for over 10 years. My fiancé, Alex, has had two dogs of his own and is currently studying animal science while working at a veterinary clinic. Between the two of us, your pets will be in experienced, loving hands and treated like our own. Alex and I are both students, so our schedules can vary throughout the week. However, between the two of us, we have time to stop in throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. Surprisingly, our weekends are usually the least busy, giving us even more flexibility. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before caring for them, I like to meet the owner and pet, learn their routine, and understand the home’s layout. From feeding times to walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.

FAQs for House Sitting - Laingsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 561 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laingsburg. 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 Laingsburg 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 Laingsburg 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 Laingsburg 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.

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.
