“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”
About: I am super flexible and able to cater to any of your dogs needs! I have experience in watching and walking dogs. I am quick to learn and good at following directions. I currently work part time as a waitress, so I am able to fit your pets around my schedule! I work 4 hours at a time at most, and am available every night to care for your dog I am comfortable walking dogs in any neighborhood and for any period of time. I can give frequent potty breaks and crate the pet if needed.
“Samantha was fantastic with our two dogs. She took great care of them, kept me updated on how they were doing and included photos, and also was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had my dog for 5 years and really enjoyed raising and training her. Outside my home, I have helped friends and family with house-sitting, dog walking, and check-ins/potty breaks. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite open! I am available for services any time on weekends and on weekdays after 2 pm. I have a fenced back yard, and a gate at the front of my house, so your pet will be entirely secure! There is a patio and grass in the back, leaving space for zoomies. Inside is an open floor plan with space to play while being supervised and safe!
“Laura was able to take this assignment at the last minute after a family friend had a change of plans and wasn’t able to stay with my dogs. She was very accommodating and did everything I asked!”
About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.
“Oceana is AMAZING. We recently moved to the area and had to jet off quickly for a family emergency. Not knowing anyone yet, we crossed our fingers that someone on Rover would work out. We feel SO lucky to have found Oceana! She sent tons of updates and most importantly, our pup ADORES her. We can’t say enough good things about her!”
“Sierra was great to work with. I came home to happy healthy dogs and a tidy home. She was a great communicator and I felt secure that my boys would be well looked after. Would use her services again.”
“Sky was the best caregiver for our pups that we could have asked for! We have literally never left our dogs with anyone other than family & we usually travel with them, but we couldn't bring them a long for where we were going & I was seriously so nervous leaving them with someone. Sky made us immediately feel at ease. The home visit went so well. You could tell she was capable & had such bright vibes. She checked in with us & gave the up most care to our dogs. I had left in a hurry bc we were in charge of a youth camp, so my counters were messy & I felt embarrassed for leaving a mess, but when I got home I noticed she had wiped down the counters & did a few of the dishes that I hadn't washed. I didn't expect her to do anything extra, but I thought that was so kind & thoughtful of her. I definitely would trust Sky with my dogs anytime. Thank you Sky!!”
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs for years , even transporting them to different states when needed. I live alone and am home by myself most of the time. I have a small fenced yard and wood floors and tile in most of my house. I would be happy and would prefer to meet your dog before I watch him or her. I door dash on my electric bike. It can go about 3 hours before needing a charge. I usually dash 2-3 hours in morning and 2-3 hours in the evening. If it rains I stay home I have a fenced yard , with a dog door from the inside to the yard. I keep water out all the time, but only feed according to the owners instructions
“Luckily our cats and dog still like us a bit more than Eva, though it's close! She did a great job taking care of them and it showed. Our kitty recently had spay surgery and Eva handled the meds just right. She even made us muffins!”
About: Over 200 dogs watched on Rover ‼️❤️ I have taken care of a variety of different dogs since I was young. We always had a family dog and now I have a yellow lab of my own. Between washing, walking, feeding, playing, and just making a dog feel loved, I feel comfortable with it all. Me and my husband have trained our puppy with multiple commands and house training. We own a home with a large fenced back yard, which happens to be 5 minutes away from the nearby dog park! My husband is as in love as i am with dogs and will always be around to mutually take care of your dog. We do have a 7 month old yellow lab which is great with other dogs and very reserved for his age. When it comes to playing, he is high energy, but also gentle when it comes to contact with other people/dogs. Me and my husband are very flexible with work and can work from home as needed! My calendar is always up to date with our availability :) We have a large, fully fenced in back yard and live just a few blocks away from a dog park. Our lab, Max, is a year and a half and full of energy! He LOVES other dogs and will play with them all day. My husband and I have completely flexible work schedules, so can accommodate most drop-off and pickup needs. We rarely travel, so have wide availability for any repeat customers. We treat any animals that come into our home as if they were our own. We adopt them into our family and try our best to make them feel comfortable and loved. If your pup loves sleeping on the bed, you’re at the right place 😉
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, including one massive great dane along with a fair share of puppies and a few exotic animals. I am fully capable of tending to a senior dog as i’ve personally owned and cared for multiple senior dogs with high medical needs. I completed the utah certification for veterinary assisting and have basic pet first aid knowledge as well as an ability to administer medication to pets. I have a passion for animals and love to see them well cared for. I’m currently a student at utah state university so doing drop in visits or staying overnight works best with my schedule. I tend to have 1-2 hour classes with availability outside of that. I have one to two classes Monday Wednesday Friday giving me the afternoon and evenings free. I am totally available on both Saturday and Sunday. I will ensure to clean up any mess that may happen, water plants and make sure your animal is comfortable and safe in your home. I am open to doing simple chores if needed around the house as well. I will follow any instructions you have for your pets daily schedule.
“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mendon. 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 Mendon 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 Mendon 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 Mendon 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.

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.
