“Stephanie and Jay are a great couple to trust your pets to. They are kind, punctual and most of all our German Shepherd is happy and at ease w them❤️ We feel very lucky to have them!”
About: I have had decades of experience walking and caring for dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, turtles, parrots, poultry and more. I have taken care of big dogs and little dogs, cats and kittens. I am familiar with giving medications to animals, as well. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am a licensed paramedic and educator just earning extra income. I keep parrots and poultry currently with cats and dogs. I have had had herps and reptiles in the past, as well. I will treat your pets like they were my own. I know the anxiety of having to leave pets to get out of town and will do everything I can to make sure you don't regret it.
“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.”
“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.”

About: Call me Kat or Anna! I've been living with animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. From the age of 13, I have been taking care of my neighbours' and family friends' pets when they ask. I've got experience with rodents, lizards, cats, and dogs, but I'm not afraid to learn new animals! I've got particular experience with special needs pets, including post-surgery care, asthma, seniors, separation anxiety, leaky bladders, and daily oral/injection medication. I'm not squeamish around messes, smells, or loud noise. I've cared for nearly every personality out there, and whether your pet wants space, cuddles, or needs a bath, I'll help out for as long as you and your pets need, no matter how many or how weird they are! I'm currently a college student and take classes on monday/wednesday from 12pm-3pm and tuesday/thursday from 6pm-9pm. During those hours, I will not be available. I am happy to care for your pets anytime other than that, however, even on holidays! Personally, I use free-feeding (there's always kibble in the bowl) and positive reinforcement with my pets. They're only allowed outside under supervision, I clean the litter boxes every other day, I play with them daily, and special treats are highly encouraged. Of course, other houses have different care plans, and I am flexible. I will never enter any areas of your home you have not given me permission to access unless it is an emergency, I will clean your house before leaving if it is an overnight stay, and I will always alert you via a text message when I enter or leave your home so that you know your pet is being looked after. If you have other requests regarding your pet and home, such as getting mail, watering plants, etc, I am more than happy to oblige.
About: I’ve grown up with pets. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. People know they can rely on me to give their pet the amazing treatment they deserve!

Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being above all else.

With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion for your pets, ready to make every moment special. Choose me, and rest assured your pets will receive top-notch care and endless affection. When it comes to caring for both cats and dogs, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. While cats won't be venturing outdoors, I ensure they have a stimulating indoor environment with cozy spots, toys, and scratching posts to keep them happy and entertained. In my home, for our canine companions, leash walks are the name of the game to ensure their safety and enjoyment during outdoor excursions. Meanwhile, our feline friends have their own special corners where they can lounge and play to their heart's content. From playful pups to curious cats, I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities with open arms. Whether it's a solo adventure or a cozy cuddle session, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each furry friend, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. While outdoor adventures may be off the table for our feline friends, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep them engaged and content. Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. 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.”
“Wendy was excellent with Bodhi and Grace and took care with my home. She shared multiple updates on the dogs, walked them, and was flexible. I highly recommend Wendy and will use her again.”
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.
“Rachel took excellent care of my geriatric doggie. She communicated with me nearly every day. Rachel is attentive and thorough. She also took great care of my house and watered a few plants for me. She is extremely responsible and I would highly recommend her to watch your puppy!”
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
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are very spoiled. I would love to meet your dog(s) and take some stress off of your day. Thank u! I am a part time college student going to class late on Tuesday and Thursday . I work from 9-5 on Wednesday and Friday and 9-3 on Saturday at a furniture store in Madisonville. I have plenty of down time all throughout the week. I will accommodate any needs that you have for your pet(s) in your home. I would love to take them out for walks or take them out to play and burn off some steam like I do for my own dogs.
About: I am currently pursuing my X-ray tech degree, and while in school, I work at a local bakery that offers me the flexibility to help care for your pets. I recently transitioned from the veterinary field, where I gained extensive experience handling medical needs for animals. With years of hands-on care for dogs, cats, and even horses, I’ve worked with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m passionate about providing reliable, loving, and knowledgeable care, ensuring every pet gets the attention they deserve. I am currently working full time at a local bakery while pursuing my X-ray tech degree, with most of my classes online. I’m looking for a part-time job on my days off. My schedule can vary, but I typically know my availability about two weeks in advance. Having recently left the veterinary field, I bring years of hands-on experience and a strong medical background. I’m committed to making your time away less stressful by providing attentive care along with daily photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I take pleasure in creating enrichment activities that suit each pet’s energy and interest. This could mean trips to the dog park, going for walks, engaging in a training session, or using treat-dispensing puzzles to keep their minds active and entertained.

FAQs for House Sitting - Niota
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 109 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.
