“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a nursing student with 9 years of pet care experience and a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to shy or anxious pets who need a calmer, more patient approach. I’m a pet owner myself, so I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your animals with someone new. My goal is to make that as easy as possible for both you and your pet. I’m big on following routines, paying attention to the little details, and sending plenty of photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m comfortable with: • Dogs and cats of all sizes and ages • Puppies and young, energetic pets • Shy, anxious, or slower-to-warm-up animals • Feeding and medication routines • Walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection • Multiple-pet households • Keeping a close eye on changes in behavior, appetite, or energy My nursing background has made me especially attentive, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I take pet safety seriously, but I also want your pet to have fun and feel genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your pet wants long walks, endless fetch, couch cuddles, or someone to simply sit nearby until they feel comfortable, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll care for them the way I’d want someone to care for my own. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your pets and learn all of their little routines, quirks, and favorite things! I’m currently in college full-time. I have recently left my full time job to make more time for schooling. My days mostly involve massive amounts of studying, but in between that I am needing to fill my time with taking care of furry friends. I do not offer pet care at my home, but I do have two cats who think they are dogs. One named Sylvester Stallone and Storm.
“Just finished a 4 night 5 day booking with Nichole, and I can not say enough good things about the experience! Five⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+++ With permission she brought her daughter, which was one more to love and care for our terribly spoiled miniature dachshunds, with lots of “ extras” Upon return, the house was immaculate, and our privacy honored. We will be using Nichole for all our future sitting needs. I highly recommend Nichole!”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for animals, and I absolutely love them! I enjoy spending time with pets, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I will treat your pets like my own. I am a part time worker at J crew factory and I am also a college student at UT Tyler. I balance my daily responsibilities with my love for animals and will do my best to make time for your pets. I understand the importance of consistency, feeding schedules, playtime, and attention, and I will communicate with you to make sure your pet's needs are met. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, medications if needed, and any special needs. I keep pets in a clean, safe environment, make sure they have fresh water, and always supervise them appropriately. I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable with me and respect their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident knowing their pets are being well cared for. Their pets' safety, trust, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“I have never been happier than when Momo came over and took care of all of our beautiful animals. She kept the house lovely and everybody was just so happy and safe and comfortable when we got home. It was great!!”
About: I have plenty of free time to walk and play with your dogs and cats and keeping both you and them happy. My schedules are super flexible and I can housesit your pets whenever when you’re off to work. I can also bathe them if they have been playing in the backyard, rolling in the dirt, and gets too stinky. I do have two cats, the black one is named Happy and the orange one is named Teo. They are super sweet and I’m pretty sure our pets will get along super well! I will have a dance party with your little best friends. Oh fun fact about me is that I used to be the chaplain of FFA in high school, so I know a thing or two about animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and walk with your fur babies. I’m available most of the time, just shoot me a message! I currently don’t have any pets in my house, so it’s perfect if your fur babies are shy or don’t do well with other pets.
About: I worked as a program director for a nonprofit animal rescue in Jacksonville, Texas for six years. My specialty was working with behavioral dogs. Especially bringing in feral dogs and working with them to socialize them until they were ready to get a home. I have always been a pet owner and have owned multiple dogs at a time. I am comfortable with all types of dogs. Young & old, big & small, well-trained or needs some work, I love them all! I have been in the trenches in animal rescue so you will be hard pressed to find a situation that intimidates me. I also love cats & am comfortable caring for them. I own & care for a ball python so I’m comfortable with snakes as well. I’m open to other reptiles and small animals. I’m really open to any animals as long as someone is willing to show me the care they require. During the week, I have a very flexible schedule. You tell me what you need and I can probably make it work. Weekends will be open as well, but slightly less flexible. But I’m always open to negotiations.☺️🐾✌️ I can not offer care in my home due to my current setup but I am more than willing to meet all your needs at your home & am very qualified as a sitter! I am a lifelong animal lover & have years of extensive experience caring for animals, dealing with medical issues, behavioral issues, training, transporting & helping them find forever homes. I have experience with feral dogs & cats, hospice animals, & happy/healthy ones! I have done some amazing things in my career. But I have retired from the trauma of Rescue and now would like to have a more easy-going time getting to love on some babies that just want a sitter.🐾❤️
About: Ive been raising dogs since I was a child. More pitbulls than any. I used to rescue pitbull dogs after they were injured due to fights, abuse etc. Ive been known to turn super aggressive pits into lap dogs. And I have 3 of my own now. I love dogs more than humans and eventually want to own my kennels and training- boarding and supply business soon. I can work anytime needed. Im not working an actual job everyday so can use all the hours I can get. Thanks so much for allowing me to care for your babies. I can watch your babies in your home anytime. I can take them for walks and help teach basic commands and tricks. I also know how to groom and can provide a ride to vet/ groomer, etc.
About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Omen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Omen. 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 Omen 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 Omen 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 Omen 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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
