“Issabella did a great job!! 5 out of 5 stars - highly recommend!! She is our #1 go-to for pet and house sitting. Timely, professional, courteous, communicated daily with us and we loved all the pictures showing our “furlittles” playing, snuggling and snoozing. Thank you, Issabella!! … Bing & Lilly can’t wait to see you again!! 😊”
About: We currently watch many dogs on a regular and repeat basis. Pictures are sent daily of our visiting pets to their owner via cell phone (not always via Rover). We enjoy meeting new dogs and experiencing their unconditional companionship. We own a mini-golden doodle, Henry. The visiting pup will enjoy the comfort of our home, the company of Henry and courosity of our cats. The back yard is enclosed via a privacy fence. We will host most trained and well behaved dogs. We enjoy other dogs visiting our home since it provides us and our mini doodle socialization with other dogs. The dog sittings that we have done for many years now have given us enjoyment due to the pups unconditional friendships and some have even created great friendships with us and the pup’s owners. Your pup will stay inside with my doodle! Warm and cozy or cool and dry. Also. The fenced in back yard is great for safety and a good place to go! We are a friendly dog and cats loving family that is ready to share our home as a casual place for boarding. We do not crate our visitors unless directed to by the owner. Owner drop off the pet with enough food for the visit, favorite toy and blanket unless price is negotiated for pick up and/or providing food. Must meet and greet first.
About: I have two dogs and five cats at home, including a senior cat. I can administer oral cat medication and am experienced with this. I have a clean background and can care for your home as well. I own a poop scoop and can provide this service, too. I am a sahm with older kids so my schedule is open most of the time. I am caring for my own animals all of the time. I can care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. Loving care is always provided. I will refill food and water as needed/as directed. May show up with treats! ☺️
“Emma answered to our last minute in house sitting request, this was our first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. Emma was very kind, listened to all our detailed instructions, and made sure our pups were well taken care of. She made sure they went on their walks and got their potty breaks in. Our pups, Oso and Leily, both loved her and quickly warmed up to her. She also sent us pictures of them while we were away to make sure we knew they were doing great. We couldn’t have asked for a better in house sitter. We will definitely be using Emma from now on whenever we need a sitter again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets practically my whole life. I grew up with two cats and a dog - all from a local rescue that I volunteered at since I was 8 years old. I worked on socialization with dogs and cats and have grown up training basic behaviors and tricks with dogs (including agility with my childhood dog). Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on my to walk, feed, and even train their furry family members. I also have volunteered throughout the years at a vet clinic taking care of animals including giving meds, daily care and exercise. I graduated from Purdue with my B.S. in Animal Science where I took all of the companion animal classes offered and even helped to teach one. I am also experienced in taking care of a variety of animals including fish, horses, reptiles, birds and more! I currently work a mid/2nd shift so I am available most mornings and nights - pets in my care will need to be able to handle 12 hours between visits. I work second shift in healthcare, so I am available for morning walks and drop-ins on your pets and I have late night availability as well. I have open availability on weekends. It’s an honor to be trusted to take care of someone’s furry family, and my first priority is making sure the owners and animals trust me and are confident in my ability to keep them safe and happy. I work with each client to meet their individual pet care needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a young girls. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends for many years. I have four pets of my own, two cats and two dogs. I understand the trust that it takes to have someone watch your pet, and I will make it my priority to treat your pet like family. I am a full time student with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of free time both on weekdays and weekends to be able to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard with a pool. I also have two cats and two dogs of my own. I have the perfect environment to board extra animals with plenty of extra space and opportunity for enrichment. I also don’t mind caring for pets in their home because I understand the importance of keeping your pet in an environment that they are comfortable with.
“Evelyn is the BEST pet sitter we've used on Rover! She is very communicative and organized. You could tell from the all the pictures she sent that our pup loved spending time with her! She went above and beyond to clean up before she left. I'm very appreciative of how well she took care of our sweet, old girl! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am. I don’t rush interactions or treat pets like a checklist. I pay attention, keep routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—not just watched. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I plan my time carefully so pets always come first when I’m scheduled to care for them. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, play, and rest. I keep the environment calm and clean, respect your home, and adjust my care based on your pet’s comfort level and needs.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for my own pets, including both cats and dogs, along with volunteer work through animal shelter outreach programs and fostering. Having raised my rescued Pitbull Delilah, now 13, I've cared for pets through every stage of life--from playful puppies to senior companions--giving me unique insight and compassion that sets me apart from other sitters. As a stay-at-home-mom, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, offering consistent attention, timely walks, caring and loving companionship I prioritize safety by providing a pet-proof environment, secure spaces, and constant supervision. Families can trust me to care for pets with love, patience and reliability in my home and theirs.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
“Repeat happy client! Our pets adore Abigail. She is responsible, responsive, and conscientious. She is also very knowledgeable about animal behavior and care. Highly recommend.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. Rescues have always been my preference for my personal fur baby but I love all fur babies big and small. I have professional experience as well working in a doggy daycare w/boarding. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on Weekends and after 2pm on Thursdays and 10am on Fridays. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly pup of my own to play with and I can gate/crate your dog if I need to.
“As always, Bandit was happy to see Tolu and that’s all I need to know that Tolu does a great job with him! I also appreciate the regular pics of our pup while we’re apart.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Orestes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 511 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orestes. 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 Orestes 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 Orestes 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 Orestes 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.
