“Kayla is the best! Super responsive and flexible. One of our dogs is a big anxious boy (around 70 lbs) and she always knows how to keep him at ease. She is our go to sitter whenever we need one!”
“We couldn't have been happier with Tricia and her stay with our two dogs and cat while we were away. Our pets fell in love with her immediately, and she took very good care of them! Tricia went above and beyond what we would have asked her to do. As we were headed home we had car trouble and Tricia was amazing and able to stay the extra time. We were extremely lucky to find Tricia, and we will definitely ask her to stay next time!”
About: I grew up with animals, so I am comfortable around and am experienced with them. I also frequently dog and cat sit for friends and acquaintances! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to give animals the time and love they need! I also am flexible with schedule. I offer dog walking and services only at client's home, but I am careful, trustworthy, and will follow instructions well. I will accommodate to whatever you and your pet needs!
“Mark was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! So attentive and went above and beyond, especially during a very stressful time for animals…4th of July. He was very communicative, and we always knew what was going on with our pups regularly. It meant so much to us that we could relax on vacation knowing they were well taken care of! Will definitely be working with Mark in the future!”
“Abby was a complete blessing to watch our pups for the week so we could enjoy some beach time. The pups are well fed, happy and content when we got home and the house looked fabulous too! So glad we chose Abby and Rover! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️💕”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She has a great background with animals, so you feel confident that she’ll give them the love and attention they need. Newton and Tucker took to her quickly.”
“So happy with the amazing quality of pet care that my girls got! Rylan took great care of my babies while we were out of town. ? I will definitely be reaching out again when we go on vacation next!”
About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly. I have taken care of both dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral issues, and senior pets. I love taking both on walks, car rides, park trips, etc. whatever they like to do! Currently working a hybrid job so I can work from home if needed. I’m more of a home body so I will have plenty of chill time with your fur babies. I also like going on outdoor adventures like walks and dog parks weather permitting. At home I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. There is one friendly dog and one solitary but other pet friendly senior cat. Both can be secluded to the upstairs if needed.
“I am always at ease whenever Melissa is sitting with our Meeko. I know he is in the best hands possible, she communicates daily with me along with sending pictures, and Meeko always looks so relaxed in those photos. Melissa is always welcome in my home and always welcome to sit with Meeeko anytime”
“Laura did an exceptional job of caring for our two pups while we were out of town this past week. She is a great communicator and sent photos and video clips that helped us be assured that they were happy and safe. We highly recommend Laura and will use her again in the future!”
“I was very nervous leaving my daisy while we went on vacation. She gets high anxiety when we leave. Kendra sent us pictures and updates the whole time. Plus our daisy was so comfortable with her, it was so much easier to enjoy our vacation. She was awesome!!! I only want her services from now on.”
“Abbie was absolutely wonderful! She has such a bright a bubbly personality, our dogs warmed up to her really fast which was surprising and made me feel really happy. Shes really great about sending photos and communicating throughout the time she was with them. I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: Hey there all you pet parents! Bring me your pups and they will be loved like they are my own. I recently had to say goodbye to my two dogs this year and my house feels empty and sad. Hoping to dog sit for extra cash and give your babies the love I once gave mine. I have a fenced in back yard and dogs are allowed on all the furniture! Treats galore! ❤️ My work schedule is M-F 8am-4:30pm and I'm available most weekends. I do not have any pets so yours would get my undivided attention. Last minute overnight bookings during the week are also available but would need to arrange for pick up and/or drop off next day. Just message me! I have 2 dog crates, 2 baby gates and a fenced in back yard but pups get free reign for the most part. We are living in their world, after all! 😉 Also, my couch is by the front window so all doggies can keep an eye on the bunnies, squirrels & delivery drivers.
“Kim is amazing! This was the first time she stayed with my dogs and surpassed all expectations. She sent several update and pictures of dogs which made me feel at ease and I was able to enjoy my time away.”
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for the past year and a half where I complete basic pet care, cleaning, daycare, and walks/playtimes! I also have a dog of my own and will also be attending college this fall going to learn to be a vet tech. *Please note that I will be leaving for college beginning/mid August* I work part time at a Pet Resort, so my hours a pretty flexible in taking care of any sorts of animals. I really love my job and what I do and I am diligent in providing animal care. I am flexible in providing whatever care your animal needs! I do have a dog and cat of my own, but I am completely open to any types of instructions provided and am flexible in doing so.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 838 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mead. 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mead. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
