“Would highly recommend Becky, she's was great with our 3 babies and took care of them very well.. and they didn't miss us at all....was very happy with her sending us pictures of them... again would highly recommend....thank you Becky, Dave and Peggy.”
“Sharon is a very warm, down-to-earth person. My 16 yo rescue dog, Fawn was very well taken care of. I was happy & lucky to find someone willing to stay in my home with my dog. Fawn has lost some vision and hearing so she does better in a familiar place. I appreciated getting photos and updates on my pup. I could completely relax and enjoy my 2-week vacation with family and friends, knowing my old girl was safe and loved. Sharon has a lot of experience with dogs from the years she had a business taking care of people’s dogs in her own home when her clients were away. I highly recommend Sharon!”
“Maisie is wonderful! We were very comfortable leaving our pup with her. She sent photos and updates everyday we were gone, left the house immaculate and thoroughly enjoyed her time spoiling our girl. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup! 💕”
“This is our second time Annette has watched our babies! The first was drop in visits and this time she did house sitting for our 3 cats and dog. She was great! She took our dog on her daily walks and gave lots of cuddles to our cats. Our home looked better than when we left. I would 100% have Annette watch out babies again!”
“Amy was super attentive and caring towards our sweet boy. Great communicator as well as fantastic at sending a few photos and updates while we were gone…that gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we could fully enjoy our time away. We fully trust her and will book again in the future. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Sara is absolute ROCKSTAR. Our Mookie absolutely loves her. He had his 2nd stay with her and we could tell he had a blast. He normally doesn’t eat the most consistent but he did with Sara. We loved all the updates and pictures we got through the stay. Sara always leaves our home like no one stayed there and we will continue to use her for all of Mookie’s stays. As a French bulldog owner it can be very hard to find the right “fit” but we know we have it with Sara!!”
“Charli took care of my. 14 year old Yorkie with health problems. She had to give him 3 pills twice daily and treat him with care. She did a great job and returned him to me in great shape.”
About: I am a current veterinary technician with two dogs of my own. Experience caring for pets, administering medications, fear free certified and providing compassionate care Pet care is already part of my daily routine. As a veterinary technician and pet owner who works full time, your pets needs will come first as if they’re my own. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. Pets in my care are supervised closely and fed separately for safety. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress while their owners are away.
“Darby recently housesat for us and did a great job! Came back to a clean house and two happy dogs. She followed the guidelines we leave for all housesitters, never left the dogs for more than 4-5 hours without a potty break, and communicated well. Couldn't ask for anything more. We highly recommend her. We would absolutely call on her again if she weren't moving to San Diego soon. We wish her the best of luck in that market. Thanks Darby!”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

Have washed many dogs before I’m currently only working the weekends in the afternoon, so weekdays and even early in the morning for weekends I’m available to take care of your pup I walk my dog daily, wash him frequently, and trim his nails frequently as well.

About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

“Hannah went above and beyond in every way! Not only did she take amazing care of our lab puppies, but she also left our home spotless. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my husband’s crazy work schedule, which made everything so much easier for us. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the pets she watches. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We will definitely be using Hannah again—highly recommend”
About: I have taken care of friends and families dogs since I was a kid. I have had dogs of my own. I am semi-retired, so I will have lots of time with your dog. I have plenty of time on my hands. So I’m happy to have a dog to hang out with. I’m semi retired so I can conform to a pets schedule. I have a fenced back yard and love to play with dogs I pet sit.

“Thomas was incredible with our 2 dogs. He conducted a meet/greet prior to our departure. Both dogs immediately loved him. He is an actual trainer, which also greatly benefited us. I could not believe how much our dogs learned in just 5 days. Thomas was amazing with communication and check-ins. He went above and beyond with brushing the undercoat of our shepherd and even taking out trash when he noted that neighbors had their cans out [not at all expected]. It was so nice to return to a clean home and happy/well cared for and happy dogs! I absolutely would 1000 % recommend his services!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m used to puppies who need extra patience, seniors who move a little slower, and dogs who need medication or a strict routine. I treat every dog like my own — consistent walks, plenty of attention, and lots of photos so you can follow along. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and play. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings and afternoons. I can usually take last-minute walks when needed and I’m happy to set up regular recurring visits too. I treat every dog like my own and follow your instructions closely. I keep them secure whether we’re at your house, use a leash in open areas, and never leave them unattended. I send photos after visits so you always know they’re safe and having a good time.
“Kelly came for a meet and greet, and was engaging with both of our pups within minutes. We are new to the area, and so for our first sit just had a day out in town. She kept us up to date with pictures and notes about what the pups were doing, and was good about asking questions when needed. We will be happy to have Kelly sit for us again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 358 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mescal. 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 Mescal 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 Mescal 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 Mescal 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.
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.
