“Annie is always great with our senior dog Samson! Happy to be a repeat client of Annie's and to be able to relax while we're traveling with Annie taking such great care of our senior dog and house. Thanks again!”
About: My love for pets started when my grandparents adopted a Pomeranian when I was a child. Back at home my family and I have a husky name Shadow (10) who loves howling at every siren he hears. I have done pet sitting around LA and Korea. My main responsibility was ensuring the pets kept to their routine, got their daily exercise, and were comfortable. I will always do my best to make sure they are continuously cared for. Also be prepared for daily photo updates so you never miss a moment! I do architecture and work remotely. I am typically flexible with my schedule. I will be able to provide as much attention to your fur babies as I can. I follow all established feeding, exercise, and medication routines while ensuring the home remains secure and well-maintained. I also send daily updates and photos so owners have complete peace of mind while away.
About: I have always enjoyed caring for other’s pets. Although I don’t have any of my own I never pass up the chance to care for a family member or friend’s pet. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, big, and small dogs, cats, and even birds! I truly enjoy bonding and creating a comfortable space for whoever’s pet I watch. I am currently working part time and go to school part time so I have the capacity to take care of your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and no pets so all my focus will be on your fur baby. I am patient and loving and willing to help with any anxiety issues the pet may have.
“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
“Cat Z is a Great Pet Sitter. I received pictures and updates a couple times a day. We were very happy and had a great time in Dallas Wedding. Our home was left clean, dogs were happy and I give her a 10+++++. Thanks Cat.....I will be contacting you soon.. Tonto and Trumps mom and dad.”
About: I've been a petsitter for 5 years, helping family and friends' fur babies while they were out of town. I am experienced with dogs and cats, small and large. I am very energetic and bubbly, but can match any animals personality to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals, I love making new fur friends! I have had pets throughout my whole life. I have three pets of my own that I take care of daily. Two dogs and one cat. I take care of my friends and family's pets when they need help as well. I have two dogs and one cat that I feed, walk, bathe, and play with daily. Regarding clients it depends on their needs, wants and the comfort of their pets.
About: Since I was a little kid I’ve always loved pets, I was always the girl whose friends and family say “aw he likes you! He doesn’t really like anybody” about their pets to me. I believe pets feed a lot off of energy and they tend to love me because I have a warm and inviting energy. Because of this friends, roommates and family have entrusted me to feed, clean after, and walk their pets. I’m also a big believer that your pets are like your family and should be treated as such - so I promise to give your furry humans the same care I would give my own pets if I had any myself - I will be like their favorite aunty! I work 40 hours a week during the day and run errands after work before going home to get ready for the next day so it would be best for my schedule to currently do over night sitting when I have the next day off or a few hours on my days off I currently rent a room here in the SCV so I cannot bring pets home..yet. However I am happy to take care of them over night or for a few hours a day in their home. I think that should help with any anxiety some pets may have over being in new places or their family being away for the time being - i believe it will make trust easier with them.
“5 stars!! Michele was extremely attentive and outstanding for both of our pets. We were in constant contact and she was very sweet and accommodating at all hours. We have a diabetic dog who needed extra attention and Michele was very much on top of that especially because the first few days were really hard on our dog’s sugars. She was very responsive, thoughtful and prioritized the safety and comfort of our pups, consulting with a Rover vet when she felt that our dog’s condition was becoming more emergent. She also left our house cleaner than when she started her stay. We would be so lucky to have her watch any of our family members again and hope to see her again in the future!”
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.
About: I'm currently working from home part time and working in a restaurant part time, so I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention and take them out as often as needed when at home. I sometimes will need to be gone for around 6-7 hours a few days out of the week for my other job so I ask that your pup is okay on their own occasionally. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like a member of the family, with lots of love, care, and playtime. I live in a one-bedroom apartment that’s cozy and safe for dogs. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m more than happy to set up their crate in the living room to ensure they feel comfortable and secure during their stay. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give to my own pets. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pup feels right at home. I am working from home during the day so I have plenty of time to take your pup out whenever needed! Let me know their schedule. We will go out on walks, we can go to the park if you’re okay with it, I will feed them according to their normal schedule, and of course plenty of cuddles.
“Jessica is the BEST! It was the first time having somebody take care of our dog, and my wife and I were really nervous at first, but after meeting Jessica, we knew our dog was in great hands. She texted us with updates, pictures, and communicated with us the entire time. We will definitely have Jessica watch our dog in the future. Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m responsible, patient, loving, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently completing an externship, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and have availability on weekdays after my externship. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for both dogs and cats. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their needs, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
About: I have grown up with and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My wife and I both love dogs and hope to meet yours! My wife and I both work full time from home. We are home during the day at minimum 90%. We have a house with no kids and no other pets. We can provide as much attention to your dog as needed! I have a small fenced private patio, 2 dog parks, and 2 large parks within walking distance.
About: I have been around animals all my life and I often take better care of them than of myself. I am very good in reading animals and I have a calm energy that makes them feel at easy. I am already a dog mom with a pet routine. I am home most of the time. Available for boarding small dogs or housesit for larger dogs and cats I respect people's homes and their stuff and I keep it clean. I live in an apartment which is safer. No pet escapes with me.
About: I’m a dependable and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ve handled daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially good at adapting to each pet’s personality — whether that means keeping up with high-energy dogs or being patient with anxious or senior pets. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands. I’m currently a student and have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to accommodate you. Please feel free to reach out to me. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment with lots of supervision, exercise, and interaction throughout the day. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 7,800 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mission. 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 Mission 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 Mission 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 Mission 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
