About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals who need someone. Over the years, I’ve brought home roadside strays and cared for as many as 14 dogs at once. Today, I have four dogs of my own, including three dachshunds, and they’re my world. I’ve also house-sat for friends and family for stays of two weeks or longer. I’m attentive to pet safety and each dog’s individual needs, whether that means keeping their routine consistent, noticing changes in their behavior, or giving them extra comfort while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I’ll give yours the care and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, and shared parenting responsibilities for my stepdaughter give me added flexibility to accommodate pet care. I can plan around your pet’s routine so they get the time, attention, and consistency they need while you’re away. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any care instructions you leave. I take time to learn their personality, whether they love playtime and cuddles or prefer a little space. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and leash safety, and I pay attention to changes in their behavior or appetite. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away, and treat your home with care and respect.
“I am so happy I was able to book Ms. Courtney. She made me feel at ease about my little boy Charley. She was on time with all visits, followed by pictures and updates. I highly recommend her. Very nice young lady. Thank you so much Courtney! Will definitely be using her again”
“Dan and my cat got along famously! She takes medication and is aged and I was worried to leave her, but I was able to travel knowing she was in good hands. Dan stayed in my home with her and he cleaned up everything incredibly well and left the house immaculate. He was very communicative and sent me daily pictures of her along with updates on how she was doing. Definitely a blessing to have someone like Dan who I could trust with my beloved companion and trust him in my house during my long absence.”
“I really appreciate the time and care. Emily took with taking care of my babies. Being able to watch them in my home meant so much to me with me traveling it keeps the dogs feeling comfortable and I really appreciated that from her. I can tell that the dogs really enjoyed her and the time they were able to spend they were just as happy when I left as when I got home. I think her so much will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Of course I love animals and have grown up with a house full of multiple cats and dogs. I have been pet sitting for my military coworkers/friends for 7 years now and decided to go ahead and use Rover to service other people now that I have plenty of free time. As of now I am going through a hiatus before starting my new job in January 2022 so I have the luxury to serve you by providing the best service for your pets by being attentive and caring. I have access to a large fenced in yard and a large dog house that is connected. I also have a large crate if preferred (doubt it). I am accepting of letting the dog stay indoors if it is house trained/indoor dog.
“This was our first time using Sierra and she was wonderful! We needed her for a last minute, week long, cat-sitting/house-sitting. I get very anxious leaving my cats with someone new but she made me feel at ease with lots of updates and pictures! Sierra was very patient with my stubborn girl kitty who doesn’t like strangers at all. She even cleaned, mopped, and did the laundry so everything was perfect when we got back! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!”
About: I have cared for many a dog and cat for family and friends. As well as I am a pet owner myself. I will love your baby and play with your baby as if it were my own. Pet sitting and house sitting will be my job. So I will be dedicated to whatever schedule is needed for my client. I will be available on weekdays and weekends. I also can provide pet pick up and drop off to vet visits or groomers for a fee I would rather keep your pet in your home. If I need to I am certainly willing to bring to my house. I do not have a fenced yard, but can walk your pet for exercise. I do own two cats, so if your baby does not tolerate them, then it would for sure need to be your home I stay in with them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 98 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Magnet Cove. 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 Magnet Cove 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 Magnet Cove 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 Magnet Cove 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.
