About: I have 5 years of dog/cat sitting. I absolutely love all animals. I grew up around all sorts of animals. We have a 2 years old Husky at home, who loves to go outside and run around with us. I would love to take care of your babies!! I’m currently a substitute teacher. With school coming to an end for this school year. I am looking for dog/cat sitting jobs throughout the summer. I’m very flexible. We have 3 acres of land, but I let our dogs out on a leash and we walk around for ten minutes. I can put your babies in crate if they are not potty trained yet.
“Chesnie was GREAT! She was well loved by our three dogs and extremely communicative throughout our entire trip. She was respectful of our home and we came back to it in the exact same state that we left it in. It was so nice to go out of town and know that our dogs were well taken care of the entire time.”
“This was my first time using Rover and will use them again especially Canija. She is the best and we truly appreciated her for taking care of our fur baby. Most definitely will use Rover and Canija again. Happy Customer! Onnesta G.”
About: I love taking care and loving pets! I will treat the pets as if they are my own, and will be sure to keep them in good hands! I am available after 3:15 on weekdays and available all day on weekends! I am very easy to work with schedule wise, and will be sure to put your pet in the best care! I have a chocolate lab, and love him unconditionally! I care for pets and will be sure to treat them all like they are my own.
About: I will be starting my teacher career mid July, but I won’t be full time until August 1st. If you are requesting house sitting, take note that I will be working during the day from 7am-3pm. When checking on your fur baby or babies I will make sure to stick to there set schedules. I have dogs, cats, and chickens so I know how important it is to keep them on a set schedule. I can bathe your dogs if requested for extra 10 dollars and I normally stay home unless I have something important scheduled. I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I keep them on a schedule with feeding, and I let them exercise a lot, and give them their personal food. I also bathe my dogs once a month.
About: Throughout my childhood I had dogs, cats, hamsters and a rat. Additionally I have gained experience in owning chickens and guinea. I have a love for horses and I would say can handle the basics including prior experience with starting under saddle. I respect the need to be patient, attentive, loving and understanding when caring for each animal individually. I am now a stay at home mother who provides round the clock care. I have attended training classes and can provide additional instruction upon request. Feeding, bathing, grooming/nail trimming can also be provided upon request. Stay at home mother who's readily available 24/7. We have 4 pets currently: 3 dogs and 1 cat. Our animals are free to be in our home or out in the yard daily. I have also owned chickens and guinea! Feeding twice a day, morning and evening, plus plenty of bonding/outside time each day. I believe most pets give back the love they receive and are a product of their humans commitment and acceptance. We ensure the way to keep everything smooth and easy going is with lots of love. Even with strict disciplined training, we make sure to keep a close eye on ours at all times because well... kids will be kids and animals will be animals!
“Jhada is AMAZING!!! She loved on my little munchkin very well was very attentive and communicative when there was any concern. I’m so glad I was able to travel for work without having to stress. Jhada thank you so much.”
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family over the past couple of years. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, giving medications when instructed, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets stick to their normal routines. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they’re cared for according to their routine. I work hard to be dependable and responsive, and I’ll always communicate with you about how your pet is doing during their stay or visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large four-bedroom home with plenty of indoor space to relax, along with a huge backyard for supervised play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s great for walks. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, crate training, and any special instructions. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
About: Since I was about 5 or 6 I have always had a dog and each day I cherished and loved them deeply. I would do the same for the dog my cousins had. Everyday when I would get off work I would go by just to see her dog. We played for hours and I treated her as if she was my own. There are some dogs that can be challenging just cause they don't know who you are and every dog has to trust you and they have to feel safe with you. I plan to do that with each dog I met. They deserve to be treated how any human being would want to be treated. Dogs are, hands down the best. I love dogs! Usually I’ll work from 6:30am-3:30pm on Monday-Friday. But I am very flexible. If you let me know on advance that you need care for your baby/babies I am more then willing to accommodate for you. Before work I always let them out and let them eat. My wife comes back home and will let them back out. I do come home most time for breaks to let them out and play. If I am not able then my wife will be there on her breaks and will allow the them to go outside. I’ll do playtime outside, but if it’s too hot then playtime will be inside. Plenty of space in the living room to run around. We have multiple things to do around whether inside or outside. Most times we will go done to the trial and play around out there. Whatever you or your baby needs I’m here to give.
About: This is my first experience with dog care. I have one dog which is my first dog and i’ve fallen in love with dogs every since. She is the reason that I considered taking care of dogs.

My home is in a neighborhood , I have a gated yard, I care for your pet by taking them daily on walks, to the dog park, feeding, and nap time.
About: Hey guys! I’m an Army Veteran with 20 years of dog care experience. I have two dogs myself and trained my Cane Corso puppy to be a Service Dog. I understand that our dogs are our family. I am very friendly and accommodating and I will do anything I can to take good care of your pets. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can provide excellent service to you and your pets!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could walk. I have never had a time in my life where I have not had at least one dog. I currently have a 5 year old pit mix. I just lost my 15 year old girl. I trained them both from 8 week puppies. So I have extensive experience with puppies and seniors. I am skilled at giving medication and can work with anxious or reactive or hyperactive dogs. I have also had cats and am familiar with their unique personalities! I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can work from wherever there is WiFi so as long as your house has WiFi I can be there as much as you require! I will take care of your home in addition to your fur baby. I will keep it as it first was when I arrived. Your fur baby will be safe, well loved, and well taken care of in your absence.
About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon

FAQs for House Sitting - Molena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 286 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Molena. 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 Molena 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 Molena 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 Molena 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.
