Chelsy was very communicative, was able to accommodate a extra night last minute and I had no worries while I was gone. I have 3 dogs, ages 7-14, with varying health issues and meds, Chelsy took care that all my instructions were followed. She had a extra challenge with it being NYE and one of my boys being terrified of loud noises (fireworks, storms, etc). Highly recommend and will use again!!!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m also reliable, clean, and always make communication a priority. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits into my daily routine, because of that fact that i have a cat of my own right now. I have had numerous amounts of cats and dogs all my life, so i’ve never been without having to care for an animal everyday of my life. I treat every pet like family, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I stick closely to their routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they get the attention and care they deserve. My space is pet-safe and cozy, and when I’m in your home, I always respect it like it’s my own. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I only want the very best for my pets and you can expect nothing less of me when it comes to caring for yours. From sun up to sun down, I’m taking care of pets whether it’s yours or mine! I have a very flexible schedule in hopes of accommodating all requests. I hope to make your pet as comfortable as possible, so they don’t even notice you’re gone. I look forward to getting to know about their favorite toy or where they like to nap.

David was our first house sitter and he did a great job walking with us through getting started. He was thorough in preparing for the sit, asking us questions and listening to answers, and thinking of things we didn’t. He communicated well throughout the sit. After the sit, our pets were calm and relaxed. It made a huge difference being able to leave them in their own environment with someone who really cared about them. We will definitely call on David again!

About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!

Anika is the BEST! She made all my babies feel comfortable and took excellent care of them. She sent me a lot of pictures too! That really put my mind at ease - seeing how happy they were and knowing that Anika was there for them when I couldn't be. I 100% recommend Anika to anyone who is afraid to go out of town and leave their babies.... she is the best and your babies will love her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mix

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mix. 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 Mix 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 Mix 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 Mix 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
