“Natalie watched our 12 year old dog and she did an amazing job! Natalie provided daily updates and photos and communicated well with us while we were gone. I would recommend Natalie to anyone needed in home care!”
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for many years. I have worked on a farm for 2 years and currently work as a veterinarian assistant. I was raised breeding 3 dogs at home with their puppies! I have high energy and love playing with your dogs. I am currently living in Florida for an internship. I work weekdays 9-5 and free on the weekends. I can provide care anytime between that! I am a very energetic person who loves giving attention and love to any animal I run into! I would love to take care of your pets.
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Adri! Your Dog’s New Best Friend 🐶❤️ Hi! My name is Adri, and I absolutely love dogs and animals. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, and I actually came very close to becoming a veterinarian. I’m familiar with many different breeds and personalities, including Bichon Frises, English Bulldogs, Shiba Inus, Pit Bulls, and many others. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel safe. To me, dogs are family. ❤️ I’m patient, caring, attentive, and full of energy. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while you’re away. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch in a fenced yard, and spending quality time with them. And yes, I’m absolutely the type of person who will end up watching a doggy movie with your pup! 🎬🐕 I don’t mind barking — they’re dogs, after all! 😊 I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I also had a previous pet-sitting profile with many great reviews, but unfortunately, that profile was erased. I’m excited to build new relationships with pets and their families and hopefully earn your trust. If you have any questions about me or how I care for your dog, please feel free to reach out. I’m happy to answer anything! Your dog deserves someone who will give them patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. Pick me! 🐶🐾❤️ I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can work around their feeding, walking, and potty schedules. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they aren’t left alone for too long. I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need while you’re away. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own! 🐶❤️ I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of food and fresh water, take them on walks, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll always make sure they are safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ll also clean up after them and leave your home neat and tidy. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐾
About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.
“Nathan took wonderful care of our dog, Koda. He checked in with us regularly and sent lots of pictures. He got Koda out on lots of walks, even in the rain. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”
About: Hi, my name is Bri! I just moved back to FL after recently graduating! I grew up around all kinds of animals, mainly dogs. I've always had a soft spot for dogs. I used to walk neighborhood dogs and go to animal shelters just to walk them and play with all the animals when I was younger. I am a dog mom myself to a 6 year old Border Collie Lab Mix. I understand how difficult it is to trust your pet with a stranger, but you have my promise that I will treat your dog as if he or she were my own, and that all of their needs will be met! My dog isn't easy to handle, therefore I'm always up for a challenge! My dog, Mya, has food sensitivities and is quite shy, so I'm used to dealing with these kind of situations and will do my best to assist your dog! I am currently a full-time college student, but now that majority of my courses are online I have a lot of time to play with your pups! I am free on weekdays and weekends at any time! I have a fenced backyard at my house and a crate if needed! I normally take my dog to dog parks to play with other dogs or nature trails.
“Danielle was amazing with Skai and very communicative. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and I felt very secured. She took amazing care of Skai and I would definitely book again!”
“My dog Penny is diabetic and I get worried leaving her any time I go on a trip , but Sarah was so kind , professional , and incredibly attentive to Penny. She warmed up to Sarah really quickly and I received the cutest updates / photos during my entire trip. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“She did a great job again with my pets and spent so much time with them! Sent pictures and made me feel at ease. I love that she stayed with my cats for so long. Don’t hesitate, she’s a great pet sitter who will spend quality time with your pets!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with Lilly and Walt while I was away for work training. She took excellent care of them, was very attentive to their individual needs, and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my time away. One thing I especially appreciated was how consistently she kept me updated with pictures and messages. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and made sure they were comfortable and happy. Kelly was reliable, communicative, and very respectful of my dogs' routines and needs. I would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Kelly, for taking such great care of Lilly and Walt!”

“Second time having Angela come watch my fur babies. She stays in our home for a few days and nights… keeps the place tidy, sends photos and she has done fantastic with my dogs and two cats. I’ll be booking her again, and again.”
“Angela was amazing! She was very accommodating to all of our needs and wonderfully communicative during her entire stay at our home. Our pets took to her very quickly and it really put our minds at ease knowing that they were in good hands. She also left the house in an immaculate state before she left. We highly recommend her services.”
“Jennifer did a great job the past 9 days house sitting and caring for our Cory. Cory was in great spirits when we returned home and our house was clean & orderly. We would definitely recommend her for future needs. Thanks Jen!”
“Danielle took our reservations at the last minute! We had a facetime interview with her and were happy with how professional she was. We were sent a video and a picture of our babies while we were gone. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,555 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Linden. 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 Linden 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 Linden 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 Linden 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
