“Kerri is an absolutely amazing dog sitter — truly one of the best out there. She’s reliable, caring and someone we trust completely with Pearl and our home. Her communication is fantastic! She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which always make our day. Pearl adores her so much that we wonder if we should be jealous ;-) And honestly, we want to gatekeep Kerri because she’s that good… but we won’t (even though a part of us really wants to). If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and keep you in the loop the whole time, Kerri is the one.”

About: I’ve been caring for and surrounded by animals my whole life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or just getting extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I work from home most days, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work in the office and am home by 5:00 p.m. I enjoy staying active with the dogs and usually take them for a walk after dinner. Since I’m home most of the week, they’ll also have plenty of time to play, relax, and go outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play, and they’re welcome on the furniture and free to make themselves comfortable in my home. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits. I want your dog’s stay to feel as normal and comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog for about 10 years and I’ve also dog sat for family/friends when they were out of town. Starting to dog sit along side my full time job because I love caring for and playing with doggos! I have sat for a senior dog who has seizures and requires special meds. I’m looking to watch cats/dogs any night during the week after my full time job. I will be able to let dogs out/ feed (cats) them in the mornings and nights and stay with them but won’t be able to let dogs out during lunch. Whenever I am home, I take my dog for a walk and play with him and make sure he feels loved. I would treat the client’s dog as my own because every dog deserves the best life.

About: I've grown up with various dogs my whole life. I currently own a husky and a corgi. I know how to use an E-collar and a prong collar. I love long walks from a mile to 4 miles or more. I'll even run with your dog if you like. Not a fan of dog parks? That's okay, I'm liery of them too. I'm patient and okay with cleaning up messes. I'm currently unemployed. I just got married and my husband and I would like to start a family. Walking pregnant will keep me in shape and keep busy as well as out of the house. My husband works from home. This is meant to be a stable side job. Not looking to make a profit just some side cash flow. Regular potty breaks and walks daily. Lots of cuddles and brushing if they let me. Games of fetch if that's their thing. Monitor their wrestling time so they don't get too carried away.

Flora always loves when Lillie comes to stay, and we always know she's in excellent hands. Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have a cat of my own. I’ve always loved caring for animals and getting to know their different personalities. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and will make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for pet care on weekends and during my weekday availability, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been my biggest hyperfixation since I was 8 years old. I’m diagnosed with autism so you can trust that I won’t just ‘vaguely follow’ your instructions, I stick to them exactly. If you have a specific regimen for your pet, I’m the person who will actually get it right every single time. I do want to preface that I’m completely comfortable with high-energy dogs that need a real workout and contrary to that, senior pets that have a strict medication schedule. You won't get 'fluff' or vague updates from me, i’ll give you clear communication and the peace of mind that comes from someone who takes your pet’s routine as seriously as you do. If you need someone who won't miss a single detail, I’m ready to help ⭑.ᐟ - side note: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Because of that, pet care isn't just something I do, it’s become intuitive at this point. I don't have to guess what a pet needs; I’ve spent my life learning their body language and the specific care required for each and every one of them. I absolutely love making time for furry friends! Right now, my schedule is quite flexible, primarily Mondays-Fridays which means I can truly prioritize your pets routine. Whether they need a mid-day play session to burn off energy or some evening cuddles to wind down, I’m here for it! I’m dedicated to being reliable and consistent so your pet feels totally at ease while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect and every cat as if they were my own. I’m very observant of body language and environment to make sure everything is secure. You can expect plenty of cute photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind knowing your baby is in safe, loving hands!

About: I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a calm, attentive approach to pet care. My experience includes working with dogs on basic obedience and providing dedicated senior care, including administering medications. I'm highly patient and capable of giving your pets the personalized time and attention they deserve to thrive while you're away. I'm currently maintaining a full-time schedule, but my availability opens up perfectly for daytime pet care. I'm available to care for your beloved animals Monday through Saturday, specifically from twelve noon until five o'clock in the afternoon, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive service while I start building this exciting clientele. I create a secure, attentive environment where each pet's health, nutrition, and safety are my highest priorities during visits and walks. I'm diligent with medication schedules, custom feeding plans, and providing constant, loving care to ensure complete peace of mind.

About: Before becoming a firefighter, I worked for the Animal Welfare Society. I was responsible for caring for the cats and dogs brought into the shelter. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including puppy training and providing attentive care for elderly, and ill animals. My weekly schedule is very flexible, allowing me to adjust my availability based on the specific needs of each pet. I am able to accommodate different schedules and routines, and if your pet requires overnight or 24/7 care, I am available to provide that as well. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions and maintain their normal routine. Any specific feeding schedules, medications, or special care requirements simply need to be communicated to me in advance.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mulliken

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mulliken. 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 Mulliken 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 Mulliken 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 Mulliken 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mulliken. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
