“Kelsey was amazing! She sent us a message with pictures soon after she arrived. She communicated often before and during the sitting. I could tell that our puppies were having a fantastic time! .”
“I can’t say not enough about the relationship that I have developed with Zania both for myself and with my Cane Corso, Samson. She’s very personable, organized and thoughtful, and gives my dog plenty of love. Very grateful that we’ve met her.”
“Rachel did a great job caring for my dog Mia while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and communication was quick and easy. Our house was also returned to us exactly as we left it. Definitely recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and having someone I didn’t know dog/house sit. Alissia was super sweet! She came over before our trip so we could have her meet our dog and show her around the house. She was very communicative throughout her stay! I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her! 🐶❤️”
“Phillip took great care of our 2 big dogs for a long weekend and was very respectful of our home. He is very communicative and diligent about making sure he is following your instructions and the different needs of each dog. Would highly recommend!”
“Colleen K. kept me at ease by sending me pics and telling me what she and Harvey were doing. There didn't seem to be any problems. The house and my pet were completely fine when I got home.”
“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 😊”
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! :)
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I often pet sit for friends and family. When I am visiting anyone with a dog they typically get most of my attention! I work full time during the week, however I am free most all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I do have some evening availability during the week from 5 pm to 8 pm. I will treat your house and your pet with the utmost care and consideration. I would love to drop by and walk your dog, and will be happy to give you a detailed report
“Bethany did a wonderful job with our dogs. One of our dogs is known to be uppity and Bethany was patient with her. She finally won her over after several days which is quite an accomplishment. Bethany communicated well with pics and video often over the two weeks. We truly appreciate her care and attention to our animals and our home.”
“Kat took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She adhered to all of our special requests, sent regular updates and photos and gave our girl lots of love. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Kelsie stayed with my dogs over the weekend while we were away, and I came home to two happy pups and a clean house. She sent me regular updates and pictures. I am so happy to have found Kelsie and will definitely have her stay with my dogs again!”
About: I have been taking care of my family's dogs since I was young. It turns out we're mostly cat people now and I love playtime with cats too! I'm currently working full time and going to school but I would love to visit your dogs, cats or pets on the weekends and holidays. I know having your people leave home for awhile can be a stressful experience for pets. I think having time to play and run around is also an underestimated and important part of pet sitting beyond the basic and feeding and bathroom breaks.
About: I love dogs all of all ages and sizes! I have lots of experience with puppies and labs. I volunteer for 2 dog rescue groups, and have helped 6 dogs find their "furever" homes. I am a stay at home mom, and I have lots of time and love to give to all God's creatures! I have lots of experience with dogs who need extra attention and love, and I can't wait to make your dog part of my dog adventures. I am not very cat experienced, but I do enjoy cats. My children and 1 year old yellow lab love dogs! My lab is playful, but also laid back, and my children are very good with all types of dogs! I can't wait to meet your pet!
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats ever since I was young. I love taking care of them. I have so much love in my heart for animals I try to put pets as my first priority. They are like humans. They need as much attention as we people do. They need love and time with you Any pets I have taken care of have always been loved and cherished. No pet left behind. When I had my dogs they would always get so much attention from me
“Serena was so kind and patient with our dogs. On the initial meet, she really took the time to earn the trust of our corgi who is protective and fearful submissive. She was loving to our old dog who has trouble getting around. We received many updates from her and could tell the dogs were very comfortable with her and well cared for. She’s also prompt in communication and very friendly. Would highly recommend Serena to anyone with furry ones!”

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 , 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.
