“Sowatey was excellent! He sent several photos and kept me informed the entire time I was away. He is super respectful and truly loves spending time with animals. I highly recommend Sowatey!”
“Katie is truly the best. She took care of our pit bull and our sphynx, plus our best friend’s older pit who has mobility issues, anxiety, and a pretty involved medication routine. Managing all three could not have been easy, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. We’ve used Katie multiple times and she’s always reliable, communicative, and incredibly trustworthy. She keeps us updated with messages and photos, takes great care of our home, and most importantly makes sure our pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. This was our third time working with Katie and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.”
About: I have both professional and personal pet care experience as I have worked at a kennel in the past and have owned pets my entire life. I can confidently care for pets of all ages, training levels and health conditions and love doing so! I am currently working part time leaving my weekdays free! However my weekend availability is flexible and varies weekly so I will always be able to make time for your pet! I can happily care for your pet in any way they require wether that is on leash walks, supervise exercise off leash, crating or anything else necessary to ensure you and your pet are happy.
“Robin took such great care of my 2 dogs and one old cat when i was away! It's always a bit stressful leaving your furry "kids" but I was put at ease right away. I got so many adorable pictures of all of them and updates at least two times a day and they looked great! My kittty Jerry is 20 yrs old and is on several meds and she gave him those with no problem. My flight returning home got delayed by 5 hours and i wasn't at all sure that it wasn't going to be canceled. If that happened I wouldn't get back until the next day at some point. My biggest concern was who would feed the animals and let the dogs out. i texted Robin and she immediately said she'd take care of them even though she had plans to go out of town that morning! That provided so much relief to me and i was so happy when the flight went out and I didn't need her. She brought in my mail and packages and the house looked just as I left it when i returned. I will absolutely use her services again and HIGHLY recommend her if you need someone to help you out with your animals. You won't regret it!!”
“Bonnie was excellent, the dogs loved her and she had great communication while we were away which made me feel at ease. She left everything the way she found it and was very clean. Will definitely book with Bonnie again. Thank you!”
“Madeline was simply amazing! she loved, cuddled, played with and was wonderful with Ruby. she kept me updated and took lots of pictures too. i will book her again in a heartbeat - i’ve never felt better about leaving Ruby in someone’s care!”
“She was great with Rolly and caring for our home when we were away. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to get away for a few days but may be afraid to leave their loved pets behind. Highly recommend Anastasia!!”
“Steve was fantastic! He was really sweet to our dogs and very thorough in their care. Not to mention, he navigated downed trees across roads to our house and power being out at our house due to a severe storm while we were gone. Greatly apprecisted his commitment to our dogs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my whole life and currently have two fur babies, very well behaved and good with all other animals! I’m excited to meet your furry friends ! I have open availability for pets! I’ll be available any time for your furry friends to be cared for! I love keeping my schedule open in case of any emergencies! The pets will have play time for several portions of the day! Their feedings will be done as asked by the pet owner and bathroom times all throughout the day! Treats all day too!! And walks for the furry friends
“This a second review and want to acknowledge what lovely care Theresa took of my 2 dogs. They were extremely happy when we came home and I know they were well cared for in our absence.”
About: I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of all types. I grew up with dogs and have spent my whole life around animals, so caring for them feels natural to me. I’m calm, confident, and make sure to adjust to each dog’s individual needs so they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I work full‑time during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings to take care of your pet. That gives me plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, or whatever they need before and after work. Mondays are my completely open day, so I’m available all day then for longer visits or extra care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels genuinely cared for. I pay close attention to their routine and what they need, and I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and relaxed the whole time they’re with me.
“Angela house-sat and took care of our 10 year old English Bulldog over the Thanksgiving holiday. Angela is reliable, communicative and has genuine affection for our girl. Our dog could not have been in better hands and our house was in perfect shape upon our return. We would highly recommend Angela for any type of pet care, whether it be for walks, daycare or overnight visits. This was the second time that she helped us and we will continue to call upon her services the next time!”
“Ashley took care of our 3 pets (2 cats/1 dog) while we were away for the weekend. She provided us with texts and photos every time she stopped by, assuring us all was well. She also made sure to contact us immediately by phone when a small, yet troubling, incident took place. She definitely took her time with our pets seriously! It's the kind of care anyone would want for their pets! The time she spent with us during our initial visit getting to know our pets, their schedule and needs, was also appreciated. It was wonderful to make her acquaintance, and I would highly recommend you hire her for any of your pets needs! We certainly would again! Thank you, Ashely!”
“Jesse is THE BEST. After requesting the booking, he came out to meet us and our two boys, taking his own personal time to make sure it was a good fit. During his stay, he kept us informed with pictures and notes on the pups. He left our house just as he found it and, most important, we came home to 2 happy, sleepy dogs, tired after a vacation of their own! Jesse is reliable and incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking. Can’t wait to have him back!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Morris
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,773 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morris. 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 Morris 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 Morris 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 Morris 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
