“Jennifer did an amazing job of taking care of our dogs as well as my son‘s girlfriend‘s dog and my daughter‘s cat! She also watered our plants and took great care of our home. She sent pictures with updates on her pets, which is very considerate. We will be calling her again for future pet sitting. I would recommend highly!”
“Tyler is a great sitter! I was fortunate that he was available on very short notice. He came to meet my 3 dogs and was up to the level of care I expected. He is very good with communicating and unafraid to ask questions. I believe he took great care of the dogs because they were fine when I came home and there wasn't anything unusual in their behavior.”
“Sarah did a great job watching our two cattle dogs. She was very communicative and left our house better than we left it! She took them on great adventures and sent us some awesome pictures. Highly recommend her!”
“Kinan was amazing! I received daily updates with pictures that I so appreciated while I was out of town. He left my house cleaner than I left it! I will be rebooking Kinan again and again!”
About: Hi, I’m Aly. I am a Reno local and graduated with a degree in Wildlife Ecology from UNR in 2020, so my passion is animals. I have been pet sitting on the side for about 5 years and have experience with small dogs, big dogs, bunnies, fish, and horses. I am able to provide any oral medication needed, feeding, walks, playtime, and whatever else your pet requires to be comfortable. No job is too big or too small! This is my full time/year-round job and my hope is that I can help people live the flexible lives they want/need with the comfort of knowing their home and pets are safe and being taken care of. Pet care is my full-time and year-round job. I am available 7 days a week and also on holidays. I accept same day bookings because I know life happens and I understand the additional stress of finding pet care last-minute. My hope is to alleviate that stress and provide reliable care for your pet. When caring for your pet in your home, I try to keep the pets schedule consistent with their normal routine. That includes feedings, medication, bathroom breaks, and sleep schedules. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so you can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos of your pet while you’re away.
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic taking care of my pups over a weekend for me. She sent regular updates and I can see she truly cares about animals! She’ll be my first choice for future pet sitting needs!”
“Dustin was very prompt with communication and sent frequent pictures and videos of our pups on our trip. Our older dog can be stubborn and picky about taking her meds, and he was patient with her and able to get her to take her medications, so that really says a lot to us. We will be using Dustin’s services again for our next trip in October too.”
“Zac was awesome while watching our pup. He is an amazing and quick communicator and we felt assured our husky was having a great time while we were away. We got updates each day and appreciated Zac's extensive experience with animals. I would say we would rebook Zac, but we already have! Thank you for everything!”
“WOW. I sure hope I can get the pups out and about like Angie did, now that we've returned home. 😅 The Dogs look healthy, happy, and the pictures of daily outings is cool! Highly recommend Angie. Have referred her to others in need of excellent pet service. Angie is observant, professional and caring. ThnQ so much!”
“We hired Alice to pet sit our kittens when we were out for a a week and a half, including overnights. We returned to happy, healthy kittens. I was a little worried because one of the cats needs medication, but she handled that nicely. She was also communicative and responsive, and left the house in great condition.”
About: I have always had pets since my childhood and now I have a terrier/heeler dogo named Aaliyah. I absolutely love pets and caring for them brings me so much joy! I have been caring for pets since I was in my early teen years so for about 10 years. I promise I’m the girl for the job! :) I work Monday through Friday and the earliest I start is 8am and every day besides Thursday I’m off by 6pm. I usually am free on the weekends and holidays. I have my own transportation so I am happy to commute. If you’d like to do a meet and greet before your requested service, I am happy to do that. Depending on the service requested, I will ensure that whatever it may be you ask of me is completed. I will follow directions with precision and care. I will ensure pets feel cared for and seen while their owners are away.
About: I've had experience with cats and dogs my entire life, reptiles since I was 15, and birds since I was 16. I have specifically been petsitting others cats and dogs for around 8+ years. While I work full-time Monday-Friday, I am sure that I still have time and energy to give. I would love to spend my extra time on weekends spoiling some pets. I'm used to spending lots of time outside with energetic dogs and wearing them out. I like playing with dogs and cats (assuming your cat likes to play), and spending time with more exotic animals to encourage socialization.
About: Before requesting to book anything with me, please be aware that I’m a stay at home mom, so my son does accompany me on walks and is present in my home for boarding. Because of this, pets in my care do need to be comfortable around young children. Your pet’s safety and comfort is very important to me and I want to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone involved. I will never force an interaction between your pet and my child, and I carefully manage their environment to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable during visits. I have over a decade of hands on animal care experience, including working in veterinary hospitals, an emergency animal hospital, animal shelters, and even a wildlife sanctuary specializing in wolves and other wild canines. I’m extremely comfortable handling dogs and cats of all personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, elderly, or simply needs some extra patience and attention, I bring professional animal experience and a genuine love for what I do. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I am a stay at home mom and other than some other gigs and taking care of my rambunctious 10 month old son, I am fairly free! I have 2 cats at home and they have the most spoiled lives ever! I live in a 2 story smaller home that’s perfect sized for me and my little family. I have a fenced backyard and am walking distance to several parks.
About: Ive had many dogs over the years, ranging from large to small. Also, a cat thats been with me my whole life (19 years and just recently passed away.). Ive also had a friend teach me how to give a couple weeks old puppies some milk! Im up 9 am to 10 pm every day. Unavailable 2pm-3pm on M, T, W, T, F. I like have all of my time focused on your pets 😁 I stay on a schedule, give them space if needed, earn their trust, I have patience with animals, I have a room space for them for the day or night as well.
“Stephanie was beyond incredible! This was the first time I have had to leave my dog in someone else's hands, and she made the whole experience so easy. She is experienced, confident, compassionate, and was incredible with my dog Lulu! She went over and beyond with pictures of them out on adventures together, hiking, and having fun. I would 100 percent recommend Stephanie!”
“I can’t say enough great things! This was a last-minute need, and Chloe stepped in seamlessly. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, videos, and photos, which meant so much while i was away. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog!!!!! You can tell she genuinely cares—so grateful we found her!”
“Sky is terrific. Kind, calm and very lloving. We were fortunate to have her watch our two dogs and house sit. One of our dogs is heading to TPLO surgery so not super active. Sky made sure he had plenty of love. She made sure he received his meds and food. Our large bernadoodle is 3 and very active. Sky took her for walks and the beach. Plenty of love and fun. Thank you Sky.”
About: Hello! My name is Meaganne, I’m 25 years old and I have been housesitting on and off since I was 13. I grew up with animals, so they have always had a special place in my heart. I have experience with pretty much any pet imaginable: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, fish, reptiles, donkeys, you name it! I’m mature, professional, timely and clean. I am excited to have the opportunity to spend time with your beloved pet. I work from home Monday/Tuesday/Friday and in office Wed/Thurs, which makes my schedule ideal for long weekend needs for those needing more hangout time. I am not offering boarding at this time, but am happy to come to your home for overnight stays or just periodic check-ins throughout the day!
“Reese did absolutely amazing with my 2 month old belgian malinois puppy and my 4 month old kitten. She was very attentive with my puppy’s sleep schedule and her specific food needs. She made sure to play with her and give her lots of love, time, and affection. I will be rebooking with her many times in the foreseeable future! Couldn’t recommend enough!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mystic
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 835 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mystic. 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 Mystic 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 Mystic 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 Mystic 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.
