About: I have volunteered with both dogs and cats of all kinds (big and small) and have pets of my own (a Lab mix, a Shih Tzu, and a cat) and have had pets since I was a child. This has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I tailor my care to help each pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy as I have done with my own and any pet I’ve encountered. Whether your pet loves to play, prefers a slower pace, or just wants extra cuddles and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your pets will be treated like family, and I’ll give them the same patience, love, and care that I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet have a great experience. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and will do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. We will start with a meet & greet so I can get to know you and your pets and vice versa :) I always follow your care instructions and tailor my care to their individual needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their time with me :) peace of mind for you is my number one goal!
“We are so glad to have found Gabby! We have 3 dogs, one of whom is extremely anxious, so we were worried about leaving her for the first time. Gabby clearly did a great job making her feel comfortable - I was surprised to see my scaredy dog doing things like curling up next to her on the bed. Two of our dogs are also on medication. Gabby did a great job ensuring everyone got everything they needed! We will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Chantal was amazing!! We had just moved to Texas and we were nervous about getting a pet sitter, especially because we just rescued a feral kitten. She came over multiple times a day to check on them, play with them, and feed them. Her updates were amazing! She sent lots of pics which I really appreciated. And she did a great job taking care of them. We will 100% be using her again!”
“Rachel was an amazing pet/house sitter for 9 days for us. She loved on our Luna, played with her and stayed with her, keeping her comfortable in our home on her schedule! She also sent pics and videos to let us know everything was good at home so we could enjoy our vacation! Rachel was very respectful of our home and left everything clean & washed. A neighbor and a family member got to see Rachel in action and had everything wonderful to say about her. We highly recommend her and will use her services in the future!”
“Annette watched all four of our pups (my dogs and my in laws dogs) while we were away on vacation. She sent us updates with pictures upon request. She was always responsive. Thanks for watching them!”

“Beyond impressed! Our puppy was more happy, obedient, and loved than ever. Christina is a beautiful caring soul and any animal Al would be better off after being with her. So grateful we found Christina!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Anaiah! We have two very different dogs — Koa, our wild and lovable 1.5-year-old who basically demands your full attention at all times, and Rose, our sweet older girl who has a previous ACL injury that requires a more gentle approach. Anaiah handled both of them beautifully. She matched Koa's energy and gave him all the engagement he needed, while being incredibly thoughtful and careful with Rose — never pushing her too hard and always keeping her comfort in mind. It was clear she actually read and retained everything we shared about their needs, which meant the world to us. On top of the amazing dog care, Anaiah took wonderful care of our home as well. We came back to everything exactly as we left it — no stress, no surprises. Her communication throughout the stay was consistent and reassuring, and it was obvious this wasn't just a job for her — she genuinely cared about Koa and Rose's wellbeing. We will absolutely be using Anaiah again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust with their pets and their home. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate — you'll be in great hands! 🐾”
“Timothy responded so quickly and really helped us when our other booking had to unexpectedly be cut short! He was very professional and was very communicative through the entire booking and sent so many pictures and updates, which we loved! He really was able to help us enjoy the rest of our trip by giving us a peace of mind with how well our pets were taken care of!”
“Thanks Ysla for the care of Oreo. Sending pics and updates were most appreciated Oreo’s care as an old dog was important to us. I know 12 days staying at our house was a long time to be away from your kitties 😊😊”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mico on Rover is $29.41 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 1,471 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mico. 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 Mico 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 Mico 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 Mico 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.
