“Kelsey is the BEST! She is always positive and caring in her messages. I especially love how she sent fun photos and videos! Gimli and Teddy can't wait to see her again!”
“Zania was absolutely fantastic with our pit bull & cats. Our pittie is calm & lovey inside, but when he gets outside, he’s a crazy man. Zania handled him with great ease and is very knowledgeable with dogs and training. We had 1 night away and we were updated about walks, feedings, pictures, and given a bedtime pup-date ( update at the end of the day) We could not have asked for more. We are thrilled to welcome her to our house for more pet sitting.”
“Aubreigh was so great with our dog! She was communicative and kind! Last minute we had a schedule change and she was very flexible. She administered meds for us and left the house just as we did! We will definitely have her back 😊”
“Hailey was great and really helped me out after a sitter cancelled last minute. My dog really liked her and I liked seeing pictures and knowing how she was doing while I was away”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”
About: I've taken care of my friends cats and dogs and have done house sitting locally for a few years. I always enjoy making new furry friends. Pet sitting, along with making art is my main gig so my schedule is very flexible. I try to plan pet sitting 1-2 weeks in advance. I am very observant and will cater to your specific needs. Pets require love and attention. Give me detailed directions and I will follow them to the best of my ability.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all different ages and breeds since I was little. I’m very patient, caring, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I always want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! :) I’m a college student with morning classes and a part-time job, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I have plenty of room to fit pet care into my routine and would love to spend my free time hanging out with your furry friends! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime! I’ll follow your instructions, stick to their usual routine, and make sure they have everything they need while you’re away. I’ll also be respectful of your home and leave everything neat and tidy! :)
“Heather and Spencer did a great job! We received constant updates! They both are so friendly and took such great care of our pups. We would hire them again for sure!”
“This is our 2nd time having Sarah pet sit for our setter/lab mix. We are grateful to be able to get away and know Molly is comfortable in her own home and well taken care of.”
About: New Rover Customers 20$ off first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/mayah72696 I have hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and structure they need. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and energy, so I can adjust care to what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs activity or a more independent cat who prefers a calm environment, I make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and treated with patience and respect while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy it and naturally build my schedule around it. I plan my time so I can be fully present during visits, walks, or stays, and I’m flexible enough to adjust based on each pet’s needs. I’m currently available full time, so I can dedicate consistent attention and care. I care for pets in a calm, attentive, and respectful way, always focusing on their routine and comfort. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their normal schedule consistent, this includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special needs. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure while the pet is in my care. I take time to build trust with each animal at their own pace, whether that means giving space to settle in or engaging in active play and companionship. My goal is always to make them feel safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
“After a last minute cancellation from another sitter, we were so lucky to come across Jordan's profile. She was able to do a meet and great asap and accommodated our 2 fur babies for a 10 day stay. They immediately felt comfortable following her around her home which also had a fully fenced in backyard. We appreciate her prompt messages and video updates to reassure us the pups are doing well. Our sweet boy Cowboy loved her daughter and both pups got tons of play time in their backyard. Loved how they both got a much needed supervised play time and socialization with their pup and other well behaved doggies too. It is good to know they are well cared for and with someone reliable while their family is away. We would use her again soon. Thank you :)”
“Kelsie was wonderful! Sent pics and updates daily, took wonderful care of our pets, even cleaned up a “poop” accident her last morning sitting and notified me. She did awesome! And the place was perfectly clean when we got back. Would highly recommend without hesitation, completely trust her, and will definitely be booking her again!”
“We booked Kianna's services for the first time last weekend and have already rebooked for a summer trip! We have two dogs, including a grumpy old man who can be quite the handful. After meeting with Kianna we knew she had the experience and patience we were looking for. She sent the cutest photos and detailed updates. Our cat was even hanging out with her, she normally hides from sitters for days before warming up! Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats, eventually I started working at a Pet sitting company. I love the pets special habits or tricks Have taken some basic dog training classes. I have a hybrid job that allows me to do long-term stays! I have required meetings on Tuesday morning, but otherwise have a super flexible schedule. I am not available on Saturdays or Sundays. I am not able to board at my home due to a lack of space, but my job allows me to spend full time looking after your pet. I can do check-ins or long stays if your pet needs a companion. I understand the importance of following the pet's routine.

Taylor was great! At the meet and greet our dog Sulley took to her right away and he's usually pretty shy. It was clear right away how much she loved animals. She was great at sending us updates & pictures and letting us know everything was going well throughout our time away. We definitely would use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,371 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mascot. 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 Mascot 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 Mascot 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 Mascot 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.

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.
