“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”

“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”

“Lauren did such a fantastic job caring for our puppy Rudy .. gave him lots of love and cuddles she sent lots of pictures and updates.. definitely will be using her again 🐾✔️🥰”


“Highly recommended! Trevor was very communicative and flexible with an in-house sitting despite living a considerable distance away from us. Our home and dogs were well cared for and we received frequent updates and photos of the dogs.”


About: I have owned and cared for dogs all my life and will provide them with plenty of love and attention while you are away! I am a former veterinary technician and dog trainer, currently spending most of my time tending to my foster dogs. So, I’m very comfortable providing any medical management or medication admin necessary! My availability is quite open and flexible, with preference of morning visits. I love animals of all kinds and promise to treat your loved ones in just the way I would hope for mine to be treated and keep them as happy as possible while awaiting your return! I currently do not work so my availability is quite open for pet care, with a preference of morning or early afternoon visits if dropping in for a walk or play I have a fully fenced yard in a home I own but I do foster small dogs, so animals must play well with others if visiting my own home. Otherwise, I will leave your home just as I found it and be very respectful of privacy and not disrupting any pet’s comfort!

“Grace was very professional and came prepared to the meet and greet. My home was spotless when I came back. Quick to respond and sent me pictures everyday. Totally recommend and will book again if our schedules line up.”

“Erin was great with Lily and Willow while we were away. She accommodated our unexpected travel schedule and checked in to give us comfort while gone. Willow hads allergy-related paw issues and she addressed them as instructed and also noted how it progressed or lessened. Both our girls loved her and we'd have her back in a heartbeat. She watched them in our home, and the house was tidy and well cared for. Thank you, Erin!”

“Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!”

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I grew up in Mexico with animals around me for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, and turtles. My brother even had snakes and spiders! Animals have always been part of our family, and I believe caring for them starts with both love and respect. I’m a cat person at heart. Connecting with a cat feels special to me, whether we click right away or need a little time to get to know each other. I’ve also lived with dogs my whole life, and I love their company. A walk through a beautiful park always helps me relax, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m a graphic designer, so I spend a lot of time on my laptop. Outside of work, I enjoy watching movies, exploring parks, hiking, and practicing yoga. I also love visiting museums and galleries whenever I get the chance. I’m new to Rover, and I’d love to meet you and your pets! I’m punctual, tidy, and happy to follow the routines that help them feel at home. Pets are family, and I know how much it means to have someone you can count on looking after them. My days usually include a mix of design work on my computer and getting outside for a walk. Pet care fits nicely into that rhythm, and I enjoy having animals around while i'm working. Before we book, let’s talk about your pet’s usual day—when they eat, when they go out, and how much company they need. I’ll let you know what my schedule looks like so we can make sure it works for everyone. I’ll follow your instructions, keep their food and water areas clean, stay on top of litter boxes, and be careful with doors, gates, and leashes. I’m tidy myself, so I’ll treat your home with care. I’m most comfortable with friendly pets, but they don’t have to love me right away! I’m happy to give them space and let them come to me. I’ll send photos and little updates while you’re away, and reach out if anything seems off.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve previously walked dogs through Rover, cared for dogs in my own home, and grown up around family pets. I also raised my own cat from a kitten, which taught me just how much love and attention our furry friends need <3 🩷 PLEASE read. I have a very cute and cozy home, however, it is small. Therefore, in terms of house sitting, I can only accommodate SMALL dogs or medium (if you feel comfortable with your pup staying in a small home). The smaller the house, the more the love though 🩷 I’m doing pet care full time, so I can dedicate my time and attention to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Whether we’re going on walks, spending time playing, or just enjoying some cuddles, I’ll ensure every pet in my care to feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾💕 I’m doing pet care full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m able to plan my day around their routines, if that means walks, drop ins, feeding, or keeping them company. I’ll ensure your pets get the attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 Please note (it’s listed in my bio) that my home is small! I would love to care for your creature in my home, but can only accommodate small dogs. I have a cozy backyard for dogs to play and enjoy some outdoor time, along with a walkable neighborhood and Gabriel Park and Metzger Park nearby for walks and exploring! I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and tailor our time together to their personality and needs.
“Kourtney was great. She filled in for us at the last minute due to a family emergency and did a terrific job with our Buddy. She even cleaned the kitchen, took out the trash and recycling and stripped the sheets off the bed before she left. We would definitely have her back again!”

“Lisa was an incredibly responsible and loving pet sitter. We received day updates and pictures of our dog during our time away. We will definitely be using Lisa again in the future.”

“Eliana was caring, professional, communicative, responsible and our two schnauzers loved her! House was neat, dogs were happy and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be asking for Eliana again!”
“Amazingly professional and dedicated sitter. Knowing that she was taking care of our animals and our house really put us at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about our animals at all. Her dog Theo is very sweet and got along great with both my dog and cat. Jessie took my dog to a different park or part of the river every day I was gone. Very professional and dedicated she took her job very seriously and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old ranging in size from 12-130 lbs. I have experience with reactive dogs, resource guarding, anxiety, and more! I can practice basic training skills. Dogs and going for walks are 2 of my favorite things in the world— so dog care and dog walking are right up my alley! I am a local OT student :) I am currently an occupational therapy student! I have breaks during my school days in which I can provide drop-in checks on your pups, and most days of the week I am entirely free! I can provide several walks a day. I care for your dogs in your home so everything is familiar to them! I practice proper walking safety and will ensure your dog(s) get great exercise.

FAQs for House Sitting - Needy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,518 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Needy. 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 Needy 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 Needy 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 Needy 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.
