“Bella provided excellent care for Rue while we were away for a short weekend trip. Our dog can be shy and she was patient and kind with her, updating us with a few photos while we were gone.. She even took our trash out for us before leaving. I plan to book with her again for future needs!”
“This is a five star human being!!! my travels required me to leave before Dani was to arrive. There was some minor chaos when she arrived being a new venue and canine companion. Because I was traveling by air, I did not get to speak to her until after the fact… when we finally connected, she explained in full detail everything that transpired and that it had been handled and her and Rocky were enjoying a TV program!!! Dani is an extremely responsible, capable friend, friendly assistant! Rocky has already put in a request for her return !!!! Our home was in better organization than when I left!! Extremely awesome experience!!!”

About: i’ve grown up with one dog and two cats throughout my childhood. There’s nothing where I love than taking care of animals and engaging with them. I am currently working part-time. Therefore, I have a lot of time to take care of your cute pets!! You tell me when and where and i’ll be there! I am more than happy to give your fur baby the love that I give my own! The best getaway is knowing your pets are being well taken care of at home, and I can do that!!
“Syd was absolutely wonderful. We’ve had some rocky experiences in the past with pet sitters but Syd put us right at ease. She was truly a magical human and our animals and home were well taken care of. Absolutely recommend for others and will definitely re-book in the future. Thank you Syd!!”
About: I had the pleasure of working with animals in a Pet Resort for four years. It gave me great insight into what helps pets and their parents when the two can't be together - communication and care are paramount! I'll be happy to take your pet for an invigorating walk or a casual stroll, or just hang out and toss a ball around. I have experience with insulin injections, pills, and fluid administration for dogs and cats. I also have experience with small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters) and fish. My schedule is fairly flexible! I work as a restaurant server and my job generally asks for about a month's notice for official time-off requests, but I can often make much more short-notice arrangements. My own cat only "requires" her wet food once a day at night, and my bunnies are fed in the afternoon, so if I were to housesit I'd just leave for an hour or so and come back. A meet and greet is, of course, essential! I'm happy to get to know your pet and their boundaries before "taking over". I'll only ever come to a home by myself and fully expect and respect doorbell cams etc.
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and sizes! Don’t worry too much about having everything prepared ahead of time! If you’re ever running late or your pet needs something specific, I’m more than happy to make a quick run to pick up their favorite snack, meal, or wet food. Just reimburse me if you’d like here and there, no worries at all! I’m always happy to help out and go the extra mile to make sure your pet has everything they need. ❤️ I’m patient, attentive, and will treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels happy, safe, and loved! Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and flexible pet lover who would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies! 🐾❤️ My schedule is especially flexible in the evenings, and I’m available any weekday after 4:30 PM. Weekends are also open and very flexible for me, making it easy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I also have a twin sister who shares my love for animals and has a flexible schedule. As my Rover bookings grow, I may have the option to coordinate with her when needed, depending on what each client is comfortable with. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving, and consistent care for every pet! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. There is always someone home, so your fur baby won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks and fresh air. I’m also very responsible about cleaning up after pets and keeping their environment clean and comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 411 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 , 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.
