“Rebecca watched our two adult greyhounds and 4.5 month old puppy over the Thanksgiving holiday for 4 nights. She did an awesome job, feeding and letting them out at appropriate times. We are so thankful to have had one less worry! She kept the house tidy and was great about communication. Thanks so much, Rebecca!”
About: I've taken care of animals all my life. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember; they're part of the family. I worked as a veterinary assistant, giving medical care to dogs and cats. I'm comfortable giving medications and caring for pets with special needs. I have two dogs and a cat of my own. Sansa, my Golden Retriever; Romeo, my chiweenie; and Serafina, my calico kitty. I also raised several litters of Golden Retriever puppies over the years, so I have lots of experience with tiny puppies and kittens too. I love my fur babies dearly and would love to care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your sweet pets. I’m available to care for pets during the week and on weekends. In your home, I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible: mealtimes, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little habits that keep them comfortable. Pets feel safest in their own familiar space, so I'll keep their environment calm, clean, and consistent while you're away. You can expect photo updates, quick communication if anything ever seems off, and a tidy home when you return. Your trust means everything to me. I’ll look after your pets and your home as if they were my own. 🐾
“Tanner was my first experience with Rover and I am so grateful to have been connected with him! He took such good care of my dogs. He sent updates and pics daily and took very good care of my house. It made my trip away all the better knowing that “my girls” were being so well cared for! Thank you Tanner!!”
“AMAZING! From great communication, to great care of both our dogs and going above in beyond on keeping the house clean Janessa was amazing. We have had so many so-so dog sitters in the past it was so great to be able to relax the whole time knowing they were in good hands. Thank you for everything!!”
“Macie did a wonderful job watching our pup,Riley(7yo) while we were away this weekend. She gave him his eye medications, took him on walks, and hung out with him at home. We really appreciated Macie’s communication and pictures. We will definitely use Macie in the future.”
“Julie was awesome!! She communicated with me all throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. The house was clean and how I left it when I got back. My dog seemed content and relaxed when I arrived home!”
About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. If you are struggling financially or need a little extra help please don’t let my rates discourage from booking with me! We can discuss a plan and figure out what will work best for you! I don’t currently have a day job except rover because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, four cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.
“Payton was great. We booked her for the first time after our normal Rover sitter moved away. She was very responsive in communication in both setting up a meet & greet and during the visit. I probably would have had her to the house so she would be more comfortable with everything (where the food is located and where to find things) but I think it worked out fine. I try to make things easy for the sitter with a cheer sheet because we have three big dogs all with personality and slightly different needs. She seemed great with all of it. Our trip was cut short by a day and she seemed fine with the change of plans. We appreciate someone who is a bit flexible bc of our family. We would certainly use her again.”
About: We've been taking care of dogs all our lives, they are family! We whelped 2 litters of puppies from my sweet golden retriever Daisy. We love playing and cuddling with dogs and long walks on our property! Let your dog get a vacation/retreat from city life and enjoy the fresh air on the mountain here! Someone is pretty much here all the time so your dogs get LOTS of attention & walks. If your dog would be more comfortable you can bring along something that smells like home. Also their leash, food, snacks are optional and anything else they prefer. **We prefer to board dogs more than one night, that way there is less traffic on our road.** **Once you drive to the top of the mountain by our homes, please drive super slow to avoid dusting out the neighbors and them being happy, so we can keep boarding dogs! 🐕 thank you SO much!** We are home full time so we are here to give your pets the full attention they need! We are excited to have your pet experience life on the mountain with fresh air and long walks! I have a fenced yard, a friendly golden retriever who loves having friends over, and country trails to take the dogs on long walks. Trust us to take care of your pets and allow them to have a retreat away from home.
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic and we cannot thank her enough. Circumstances ended up being less than ideal as halfway through our trip hurricane Helene decided to hit, but she kept our babies safe and took care of our house the best she could. We would definitely trust her with house and pet sitting in the future and recommend her for anyone looking for top notch care.”
“Rosemary was amazing, informative, kept us updated, was sweet and trustworthy! I absolutely will be booking with her again. Our dog is a bit fussy and she handled her with kindness and understanding. Thank you Rosemary!!”
“Tierra was wonderful! Our dog Hank loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet 😊 She did an amazing job watching him, she sent great updates and pictures and Hank had so much fun with her! We came back to a very happy guy after his time with her 😊 we will definitely use Tierra again”
About: I have spent time around animals my whole life, I assisted with training service dogs for a couple years, so I have lots of experience training and walking and love spending time with animals! I work full time overnight, so I have a lot of free time during the day and can meet most schedules you will have! I am willing to do overnights on my weekends! I am mainly here for dog walking but am willing to house sit if you need and my schedule allows it! So I will tend to your dog/cat however you need!
About: I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats. Currently 1cat in my home. She is shy. I adopted her when she was 6 and now 8. I had Two puppies which I trained and adopted an older dog. I love all animals and miss having a dog in my home. I am retired and home full time. I would prefer a smaller dog or puppy mainly for my Girl can get use to having another fur baby in the house. My yard is fenced and secure. I make sure the dogs are leased when we go for walks. And of course lots of love. I know your babies miss you when you’re gone but they will be entertained and happy with me
About: I have had a dog in the house for over 30 years ranging from a puppy to a senior dog. I am a very caring dog person. I am semi-retired with a part time business in the side. I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I keep my availability calendar updated. I have recently added daycare to my list of services I have Borderdoodle named Woofy. He was born on 01/02/2024. He is very socialized.I have a fenced back yard and my neighborhood is very walkable.
“Sean did a great job taking care of our dog and our cat. He communicated with us when needed and/or expected and sent us pictures while we were gone. Our pets like him and seem very comfortable with him. He was even willing to give our cat medicine twice a day, which isn't easy, but he said it went well. He stayed at our house and kept everything very neat and clean. We are very happy with his service and will ask him to take care of our pets again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mica
Irena Was fabulous! We had to book on a very short notice and were so relieved that she was able to house and pet sit for us. Our two dogs were well cared for and loved during our one week absence. They are both on medication and one of them requires insulin injections every 12 hours. To top it off we came home to a very clean house. Irena did an excellent job of house care, dog walking and pet sitting and I only have great appreciation for all she did. I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mica is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $58 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Mica 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 Mica 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 Mica 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.

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.
