“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter. She kept me updated on my dogs wellbeing which was really appreciated and made my trip more enjoyable. The house was in perfect order when we returned home and Sydney gave her and her husband a thumbs up. I have already booked her for our next trip. I highly recommend Stephanie.”

“Jay was great with my little Pomeranian JJ. It was the first time we used a sitter for our pup. We had a wedding so it was a long day / evening. Stephanie, Jays wife came along also. We were at a hotel but JJ was comfortable with both of them as soon as they walked in. I knew he was in good hands and had no worries. Jay sent pics and updates. I highly recommend both Jay or Stephanie.”
About: Growing up, my family had a home rescue of 10 dogs and 6 cats. During my time there, I helped care for all the animals by walking, feeding, administering medication, cleaning, and of course keeping them company! Check-ins with your pet and dog walking: Anytime Pet sitting: Weekdays- I ask for a wi-fi connection to work remotely. Weekends-Anytime Boarding: I have 1 cat who will be kept in a separate room. Currently boarding cats only. Anytime. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of companionship. Growing up in a home rescue gave me lots of hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. For pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and playtime schedules while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also offer cat boarding in my home. Please note, I have one cat who will be kept in a separate room. I provide a calm, comfortable space where cats can settle in at their own pace, with regular care, playtime, and companionship. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”

So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands. With safety, trust, and a whole lot of love, I'm here to make every moment special for your furry family members, indoors and out.
“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”
“Jaci was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind, and was excellent in her communication. She took great care of my dog, and my dog clearly liked being with her and around her. I would highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years. I have also been a part time dog groomer for a couple of years. I have experience with dogs as small as French Bulldogs to as large as Spanish Mastiffs and Bernese Mountain Dogs. I have experience with LOTS of dogs and cats. My mother is a dog breeder, so I have experience caring for puppies from birth all through the puppy and adult stages. I am a full time college student and volunteer soccer coach, so I will not be able to always stay at a home for hours at a time. I take top precautions when pet sitting in people's homes, sending pictures, messaging owners, and calling if there are any issues or uncertain about something.
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and family pets since I was 10 years old, giving me over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can handle daily walks, feedings, playtime, and bathing, and I treat every pet like a beloved member of the family. work full-time but usually finish by 3pm, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. I’m fully available all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and can also provide weekend boarding. I have a safe home environment and a sweet toy poodle who enjoys walks and companionship. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and always treat them like part of the family.
About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds and can help with farm animals as well. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely
“Gracen did an excellent job pet sitting at our home. Our senior pup and 3 senior kitties adore her. Gracen communicates often and provides great feedback complete with photos. Thank you Gracen. Knowing our pet family is so well cared for allows us to take time away without worry. Appreciate you!”
“Cherish is exceptional. This was our first time using a service like this and leaving our two young, high energy cattle dog mixes with a sitter. Historically we do boarding with day care. Our dogs loved her. It was evident in the meet and greet and further emphasized in the numerous videos, pictures and updates we received throughout our six night vacation. The peace of mind versus boarding is unmatched. Charish is responsive, thoughtful and tidy. Our house looked better than we left it! We are thankful we have found her and would highly recommend to anyone nervous about leaving your pets. You get to enjoy your trip knowing your pups are being loved and having fun. 10/10.”
“Bradishia is our go to whenever we have to leave our dog (pit bull) at home. She sends us pictures and videos, and keeps the house spotless even though she absolutely does not have to.”
“Rebecca was great with the house, cats and communication! One thing that stood out to me was her calm demeanor. My cats are freaked out by some people and take a little to warm up. They both liked her right away, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again.”
“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Shannon was great with our dogs and very communicative with us throughout the entire experience. One of our dogs is a little apprehensive with new people and he did a great job giving him time to warm up. He was also a wonderful house guest - left everything very clean, helped by watering the plants, taking out the trash, etc. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Ryan is a fantastic dog and house sitter who loved on my dog Brady and gave him great care. He is so calm and responsible that I didn’t have a care in the world while being away for two weeks. I walked into my home just as I had left it and I think an even calmer dog than when I left him in his care. My flight was cancelled and he even stayed another night and brought him to Pet Paradise for a day of play when asked. I highly recommend Ryan as you couldn’t ask for a more helpful and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thanks Ryan for everything!!”

Jay was great with our fur babies and house sitting! I'm pretty sure one of them wanted to go home with him, lol. The house was spotless when we got home. Having him watch our fur babies in their most comfortable place gave us peace of mind while we were traveling.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Niota. 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 Niota 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 Niota 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 Niota 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
