“We had another great experience with Jenna! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our fur babies. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“savannah was excellent, always kept me updated and really paid close attention to my dog who i love so much. i felt so great on my time away knowing she was there to help us and care for him.”
“Jeremy and Megan were wonderful to work with. This was our first time using someone other than friends and family and I don’t think we could have found better. They are kind and communicative. Our dog, Porkchop took to them right away, and we feel our boy got all the love he longs for while we were away. We will definitely use Jeremy and Megan again! Highly recommend.”
“Bailey took such great care of our senior dog! Our dog can be a little quirky so it’s comforting to find someone that understands that. When we got back from our trip our dog even went up to the guest room like she missed Bailey! Bailey also left our house in great condition and washed all of the linens she used. Happily will book her again!”
“Emily took great care of my 5 pets, sending updates twice daily and lots of pictures. My house was clean upon returning home. Even my shy kitty loves her, so you know she has good “animal energy”!”
“Vanessa was amazing! My dog recently had surgery & I was so nervous to leave him for the night. Vanessa was super knowledgeable & made me feel so much better about leaving my pup with a sitter! She sent a ton of updates, photos, and was very communicative! She was great!”
About: I grew up on a farm in Upstate New York, taking care of my dogs, chickens, cats, and horses. I've loved animals for a long time, and feel that they provide a much needed therapeutic and calming part of my life. I'm in London doing my Masters at UCL, and would love to be able to spend some time with dogs! As far as house sitting, besides caring for my own animals my whole life, I have done dog sitting for 4 days for a good friend in Boston (where I went to Brandeis University). The dogs I took care of there were older, one had significant arthritis that made it difficult to move. I took them outside to go to the bathroom frequently, and even went swimming with them once! Moreover I have worked as a groom and stable hand at a horse show barn, caring for horses. I really love spending time with animals, especially dogs, because they are so loving and the experience is so rewarding! Since dogs help me to feel good, it's the least I can do to make them feel good and give back. When I was going to school in Boston I also worked as a dog walker for Wag! now and then, and found that I really enjoyed walking dogs as well. I would be a great house sitter, and walker partly because I enjoy spending time with dogs, but also because I know how important it is that animals are cared for and loved. I'm currently working remote and part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to fit in plenty of pet care time and fun! I am able to live and work in different locations for any amount of time. N/A - I can't currently offer pet care at my home, but I am happy to come to you and spend time with your pets wherever their home is.
“Kona had as great of a vacation as we did! We felt guilty leaving our new rescue, but Keeley made everyday fun and exciting for our high energy pup - long walks and lots of attention...and even a pup cup for our spoiled girl. Keeley sent great pictures. Aside from dog care, we had her take care of our cats, plants, mail and house. Everything looked great. Highly recommended!”
About: I’m an auntie to any and all dogs, cats, and unusual pets. In addition to training several family Goldens, I have worked extensively as a musher and handler, training Alaskan Husky sled dogs to run Iditarod. I have experience caring for very active dogs, elderly retirees, and young puppies using positive reinforcement and love. I have a particular soft spot for older dogs in their golden years. My mushing background has given me confidence in canine first aid, pet massage, administering medication and vaccines. I also am a very active trail runner and love to tire out athletic pups! I’m an ultra marathoner, so I can go the distance your dog needs as part of my weekly training runs. I don't have my own pet, so it’s a joy to me to have the opportunity to shower yours with love! I’m a freelance photographer, so I spend much of my time working from home or I can bring my laptop anywhere! I have a flexible schedule so I’m happy to adjust and offer as much last-minute plan accommodation as possible if your plans are not fully set. I live alone on a property with a huge backyard next to a big park and many trails for running and playing! We are located just south of town, in a quiet, rural area. If your dog enjoys company, I have some very sweet and playful neighbor dogs they can meet, but if your pet is more of a loner, they will not be harassed!
“Lorraine is awesome! She immediately bonded with my two picky pooches and took great care of them, including letting them sleep with her. She also kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout her stay. When I got back, the house was spic and span. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Lillian was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter for a long weekend!! She kept my pup super active - I knew he was getting great care and lots of fun activity! She was very respectful of the home and left it very clean. She went above and beyond what I expected. Would 1000% rebook!”
About: I grew up with a dog as a teenager and was a reliable dog sitter for many neighbors and friends. I am willing to give your pets all the care and attention they need. I only work a job 3 nights a week for a few hours so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup. As long as you communicate with me how your dog needs to be cared for I will accommodate to make sure they are safe. I try and take dogs for lots of walks and potty breaks and give them lots of attention and play with them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years and love what I do! I have also owned cats, dogs and many other animals of my own. I have experience with puppies, kittens and also senior care. I provide walking, drop in and sitting care I currently work Monday-Thursday during the day which makes me available for any and all weekend/weeknight care needs! I am also available to stay in your home overnight for pets with a greater need for care. When caring for your pets, I emphasize keeping you in the loop. I like to provide updates/pictures to ease your mind while you enjoy your time away from home.
“Highly pleased with Leigha. Timely responses to inquiries. Attentive to all instructions given. She house sat/dog sat my 2 senior maltese , one special needs diabetic. She learned how to test glucose and give insulin shots. Provided me updates when asked and called if issues arose she questioned.”
About: I have owned dogs and a wide variety of other animal my entire life. I find joy in taking care of them! Providing care for your animals will be a pleasure and fun experience for the both of us. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to make your furry friends my main priority. I have also trained just about every dog that I have had. I can not only take care of your dogs, but other animals, too, if that is a necessity. Photo Updates Included! Thank you for considering me as an option when looking for a caregiver for your dogs! I work part-time currently and am able to make my own schedule. Let me know what schedule you need care and I will be able to make something work! I have a fenced in yard, a dog door in the house, and a mini golden doodle that is super friendly and loves to make new friends.
About: I have taken care of all ages of Kittens, Puppies, Cats & Dogs. I am comfortable with dealing with different personalities or needs. I care very much about making sure your pet feels loved & cared for while you are away! I am currently a student at MSU & I usually am only at school for 3-5 hours a day for lectures. When working with pets, I make sure to spend my free time with them to make sure they are cared for! I do not offer services at my personal house. I will come to your house. I like a clean & stress free/easy to understand environment. It is also a requirement that your house is a safe environment for myself & your pets. Communication is a must to create a trusting relationship with your pet/house sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Muir
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 426 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Muir. 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 Muir 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 Muir 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 Muir 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
