“Olivia is awesome Super friendly and my puppy absolutely loves her! She gets along well with my kids and is helpful in teaching them how to play with and train a puppy She even came at last minute's notice the first time She's fabulous!!”
“We have used Travis a few times now. Both times he has been such a great, informative dog sitter. Both of my dogs adore him:). This most recent visit, Travis shoveled our walkways and our driveway, just wow. This was totally above and beyond what was expected. Travis also left us a yummy treat he had made while staying at our home. If there were more than 5 stars, Travis would get them. We look forward to seeing him again in Feb while we take off for a cruise. It’s a great feeling to be able to leave home, leave to another state, and feeling confident our fur loves are in great hands. Thank you so much Travis. :)”
“Myra did a great job! Our dog is old and needs meds twice a day so we needed someone who was a good fit. She did a great job with him and kept us updated the entire time with pics and texts. She did great with caring for the kitties as well. We are very happy she was our sitter and will use her again!”
About: I’m a marine scientist obsessed with animals! I’ve had all sorts of pets including lizards, fish, turtles, rabbits, cats, dogs, rats, guinea pigs, and even insects. I can’t get enough of critters and in my free time I am passionate about scientific illustration. I have grown up with cats and dogs so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning, and even administering medication if necessary. I am working part time post-graduate school as I publish my data and work on my art. I love an excuse to get out of the house and interact with animals, although I have two cute tabby kitties at home. I have a very flexible schedule, love to walk, and enjoy breaks throughout the day. I love to play with cats and dogs! I’ll chase them through the house, play fetch in the yard, or just lounge with a movie. I can accommodate different levels of activity and follow your house rules.
“Mariah gave us peace of mind the entire time we were away. She is very thorough and you could tell she genuinely cared for our two dogs in our absence. She offered to help in instances we wouldn’t have thought of. Not only that, but our entire trip was last minute and Mariah was up for the challenge. That alone says a lot. Thank you again!”
“Allie dog sat for us and we couldn’t have been happier. She stayed at our home and sent us pics throughout the visit. Although I want to keep her all to ourselves, we would highly recommend Allie. She was great and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we need an overnight. ?”
“Abby was great with our Springer spaniel. She kept in touch with me regularly up to the time of the booking and made contact with me while we were out, which I was very appreciative of. We were visiting from out of town so we were pleased to have someone like Abby available to keep an eye on Zoe.”
“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”
About: I started taking care of dogs when I was 12, and have always taken care of our family dog as well. Many pets tend to be drawn to me, and can sense my kind and gentle nature. Additionally, I take care of several animals including rabbits and a dog when a family friend is out of town. I will treat clients pets like they are my own, with loving care. I have a very flexible schedule, and I can be available to take care of your pet at any time. I also have my own car, and can drive to your home several times if needed to take care of your pet’s needs. I’d be happy to come to your home, walk your dog(s), feed your pets, play with them, and give them affection. If they have a little accident, I’d be happy to clean up after them, and spend time with them while the owners are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 242 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Larsen. 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 Larsen 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 Larsen 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 Larsen 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.
