“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.”
“Angie did a great job taking care of my dog. Birdie is very active and very social. Angie took her to parks, they went on walks and every afternoon she took her to the park to play with her other dog friends. She sent me pictures every day. She stayed at my house for a week and when I arrived home my house was exactly as I left it. I would highly recommend Angie for all you dog needs”
“Super sweet, and took such wonderful care of my fur babies. She instantly felt like family, and took care of my babies like her own. I will DEFINITELY be using her again when I come to this area visiting family.”
About: I have experience with animals my whole life and even more after doing rover for 2 years now. I treat all animals as if they are my own! I work full time away from home but my bf Riley works from home. I would be the primary caretaker Wednesdays- Saturdays but other days it would be my bf watching the dogs at home until I get home. We are an active family and would love to take your fur babies on adventures with us if that's something you'd like! NOTE: Any daycare request that is over 9 hours will be an extra $5 Pick ups or drop offs after 9PM will be an extra $5 *House sitting price will vary depending on the situation/distance *We only watch pups together that we know will get along and usually no more than a couple at a time. We have a fully fenced yard and a dog door so you're pup could have access to outside all day. We have space for crates if you need your dog to sleep in a crate at night, otherwise they are free to sleep wherever they are comfortable! My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat so she has free roam therefore all dogs must be respectful of cats. She does like to play but not roughly chased. I will take lots of photos of your pup during their stay as well!
“Whitney was incredibly responsive and easy to book with. Very flexible around a schedule change need. She took amazing care of my boys and home. Couldn't have been pleased with her/her service. Thank you!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets ever since I can remember. Born with pets in the house. Walk, hike,feed, play, and bathe animals. I have taken care of friends and neighbors pets. I am working for myself at the moment. I am available anytime and any day of the week and weekends. I am willing to travel if it's reasonable. I have a fenced yard. I own a dog and a cat. I can crate animals if needed. No front yard fence but have a tree that has a leash connected to it.
About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs. I am dedicated and committed to caring for your pet as an extension of you. Our dog is with us almost 20+ hours a day so close to around the clock companionship and oversight will be provided. I have a fenced yard as well as a doggie door. Your fur baby will have everything he/she needs to be happy and loved. Consider it a doggy vacation resort.
About: Naturally a nurturing caregiver at heart…all my passions consistent of caring for animals & babies/kids/families :) Your fur babies would be treated like members of the family from the minute they walk in! They will be spoiled with love and exercise. My dogs are treated like human babies and I couldn’t imagine treating a dog any other way. I will send lots of updates and pictures while you are away on vacation or at work. I live in a house that has a huge and fully fence front and back yard. I will follow any instructions do’s and donts that you give me for your fur babies. When I’m not loving on all the pups/kittys, I enjoy being outdoors and cooking (I even make my own dog food for my doggos!) I am primarily home full time during the day. I have my human kids every other week and they love helping with guest dogs! I can fit in walks, dog parks etc I am knowledgeable about crate trained dogs. I always make sure collars and leashes are on securely for walks. I appreciate knowing anything about your pet that can help keep them the most safe!
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life from chickens and horses to cat, dogs and birds. Every animal deserves good love and care. I use to walk my neighbors dogs after school in middle school and have bathed friends and family’s dogs and my own cat. I’m currently looking for a job that I can have fun with and working with animals would be an amazing opportunity to try something new that’s I’d enjoy. My male kitten Lulu is fed three times a day and we’ll played with throughout the day meanwhile my cat Kiko, whom I’ve had for three years and was adopted from the animal shelter, has a very fat and happy life at home where she loves to nap and lounge around the house.
“Vanessa was phenomenal with Cheyenne! She was so attentive to all of her needs and interested in how she could make her as comfy as possible with a new person. She was extremely responsive and shared regular updates and pictures, and helped set up a meet and greet and a warm hand off before I left. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to stay with their furry friend :-)”
About: I have been a child caregiver for seven years. I want to add furry friends to my life! I am a passionate and reliable person. I am a part time/seasonal beverage cart attendant at D'Andrea golf course in Sparks. I have a lot of free time to spend with your animals! Establish a routine! My primary goal is to ensure the well-being and comfort of the animals while maintaining the security and upkeep of the residence.

FAQs for House Sitting - Olinghouse
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 560 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olinghouse. 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 Olinghouse 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 Olinghouse 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 Olinghouse 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.
