About: I’ve been around dogs of all breeds and sizes my whole life and cared for most small and medium sized dogs for many years. I have a medium sized dog who loves being around other animals, but mostly likes dinner and naps! I’m currently working Monday through Friday 7-4 so weekend care is best for me. I’m available for evening check ins or walks. Because I’m a teacher, I’m available most holidays and breaks. I have a large fenced and walled in yard. There is a pool and that is gated off, too. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks. I have space to feed dogs in different areas so I can be sure everyone gets there full meal.
“Alexis C. Is amazing❗️ We meet with Alexis two times before our travel. I was a bit nervous to leave Yuuki so I requested to have a meet and greet and then a short visit the day before we left. Alexis was agreeable to both meetings. She is very flexible and amazing with dogs. Our shy Yuuki excepted Alexis on the second visit. Yuuki wanted to play with her on the first visit but she couldn’t let her guard down. We were very pleased because Yuuki is slow to except new friends. Alexis is a dog whisperer. She is very quick to reply to messages. Alexis is very sweet, has a gentle disposition, and is very acomadating . After all of this we didn’t use Alexis ? because our grandson became ill and wasn’t able to take the trip, he was able to care for Yuuki. Alexis agreed to be on standby the complete week of our trip. Alexis stayed in touch and offered to come over for feedings and walks. Alexis showed such compassion. We will most definitely use Alexis for our next get away. Maria M”
“We reached out to Christina based on her good reviews and were very happy. She sent us regular updates with pictures and video and we could tell our pup was having fun. Came home to an orderly house and a happy/healthy dog.”
“As always, Kaitlyn is wonderful with the dogs! They love her (and that’s saying a lot for my suspicious Oreo) Twice daily updates, attentive, and trustworthy! Highly recommend!!!”
“Our pups seemed very content when we got home from our weekend trip. Shauna came early to make sure they were happy and even remade the bed in the room where she stayed.”
“Kimberly was wonderful! So reliable and attentive the entire time. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again! -Beth and Knox”
About: I love pets and animals and have lots of experience! I pet sit for all my friends and coworkers as they say I have a special connection with their pets. Animals love me and I love them! Happy to watch young or senior pets, and have experience with exotic pets like reptiles and birds As a teacher, I have all federal holidays off as well as weekends. I’m in town otherwise, so I can dependably check in on animals over weekdays as well. I will always make sure to take good care of your pets in your home, and take care of your home as well! Homes are a special and sacred place and I will always respect your area. It is great to watch them in their own home as this is less stress for your pets!
“Jessica is fantastic. I had some concerns leaving Lucy after a not so positive previous experience of boarding her in someone else’s home. So I opted to do an ‘in-my-home’ service this time and it was exactly what she needed. Jessica was the perfect fit who understood my concerns and made sure this experience was very positive. Jessica made Lucy feel comfortable, loved and safe! She took her on walks, spent quality time with her and put up with Lucy’s quirkiness. She sent photos and updates and tolerated me being an overprotective mom. I already have plans to use Jessica’s services again and highly recommend her to all!! Seriously, the best!”
“Tiffany was amazing with my girls! She is sweet, prompt, a great communicator and very easy to work with. I’m glad my dogs got to enjoy her company when I was gone!”
About: I have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.* I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2. We have a fenced in yard, spare bedrooms, extra crates if needed, and always someone home with your pets! We always lock up food/meds to prevent any accidental ingestions.
About: I have been trusted since childhood to watch over my neighbors' pets and have experience with two pit bulls and countless cats. I don't mind giving medicine, as my senior cat took some for years. I work full-time during the week, but am free all weekend to give your furry friend some love. I am generally active, so walks in the morning and evening are not an issue and I can easily integrate them into my daily routine. I can easily crate pets, love to take daily walks, and play for about an hour or two with my own pets, so I do not mind addressing the needs of your pet based on their energy level.
About: I have never met a dog that doesn't love me. I enjoy caring for dogs, taking them on walks, playing, and petting them. What separates me from other dog walkers is that I will treat your dog like it's my own, always keeping their best interest in mind. I have been a pet owner my entire life and am currently a stay at home dog mom. Caring for my dog has inspired me to help out my community and care for others pets when needed. I have walked other dogs in my neighborhood, from small to large, and I would love to walk your dog too. I can assure that if you pick me to care for your pet he or she will be provided the best quality care!
“Thanh-Mai was wonderful watching my, Rita. The meet and greet went well and my dog takes a while to warm-up to strangers. She provided me with regular updates and pictures, even checking in and asking questions. I would book her again!”
About: I have had to help and support my three dogs at my old home. Also, I have had to help support my roommate's new dog. Some of the things that I have done included picking up poop, walking the dog, and feeding them to help my roomate or family have a break while they were at work. I am currently in need of a job to pay rent during the summer. My summer hours range from morning to mid-afternoon Monday through Sunday. When I have my full-time job in August, I am available for the weekends or part-time. Walking/House Sitting (your home): I will take your pet on a desired walk rate. I will play/socialize with your pet. I will take them on potty breaks as needed. I will monitor and support your dog. I can help clean their poop or pee when needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals by feeding, bathing, going for walks, giving lots of love, and over night sitting. Animals are an essential in our lives to give lots of love to us. I currently work part time on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays in the morning only. Full availability on the weekend so can pet sit anytime of the day. In my home I care for my pets by treating them like a family member. No animal should feel left out. My pets receive a tremendous amount of love whenever we can give it.
About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.
“Emily was great! She treated my Tj like her own. I felt very comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. Emily's communication was great and she sent photos of my dog regularly.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have professional experience in animal care. I have worked in direct contact with animals in the shelter environment, all types of behaviors, and all different types of quirks. I have frequently pet sit around my neighborhood for the last couple years and would love to meet your furry friend! I am pretty much an open calender for your pets! I just graduated high school in early June and have a lot of free time, I would love to help you out and spend time with your furry friend at no inconvenience to me! I can provide walks, feedings, baths, and love to all different types of dogs! I do have a dog of my own so trust me to care for your dog as well as you can. As a fellow dog owner I understand differing feeding schedules, odd quirks, and the best place to scratch behind their ears.
About: As a dedicated pet caregiver with experience in a busy pet emergency room, I bring both compassion and expertise to every animal I care for. My background has equipped me to handle various situations with confidence and skill, ensuring that pets receive the highest level of attention and love. I understand the unique needs of each animal and strive to create a safe and nurturing environment. Whether it's a daily walk or providing medical support, I'm committed to keeping your furry friends happy and healthy. I volunteer at local animal shelters during some weekdays and also a full time mom to my four whisker babies. I love to take care of all sorts of animals and pet sitting brings me a lot of happiness! Two of my four cats have special health needs and dietary restrictions so I am very on top of giving the best possible care to my and your animals

FAQs for House Sitting - Parkwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parkwood. 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 Parkwood 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 Parkwood 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 Parkwood 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parkwood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
