“We were put in a bad spot by our neighbor backing out on us the night before we left for a 2 week vacation when they was supposed to watch our two dogs. Fortunately, we found Alex. He made himself available for our needs. He was very understanding and willing to work with us. He took our request on good faith that the dogs would take kind to him. Alex kept us up to date nearly every day with either an update or a handful of pictures. We can't thank Alex enough for bailing us out of our situation. We would highly recommend Alex and will be rebooking for Alex in the future, but with much more notice next time.”
“Our dog loved Mackenzie and is so happy to have a new friend. She was so flexible and gave our baby a lot of attention while we were away. We had the peace of mind knowing he was being loved.”
About: We are a close family of all adult children who together breed and train emotional support animals. I am someone you can trust last minute or with extensive planning to make sure your vacation or time away goes off without a hitch. Reliability and Integrity are crucial when it comes to caring for your fur babies and I know how important these qualities are and how rare it is to find. I prefer to housesit in the comfort of your own home and have years of experience in doing so with our local veterinarians. I have cared for aggressive dogs that are very protective of their owner, the ones that attack when you are around, but once you leave cuddle in my lap. Busy pups and dogs that need to play, go on walks, learn tricks, and play ball to lap dogs or those who a little old and slow. I know tiny teacups need you to watch them uber carefully in every way to Large Bernese Mountain Dogs that seem super loud and scary but only require a bit more strength. I am changing my career focus from occupation to avocation. I am focusing on moving my business from the service industry to retail where I will be a delegative manager. My children are all in college in different cities where I spend time away with each one. I keep my schedule updated and flexible so that same day care is available when I am home while allowing me to change my plans to fit your required needs. I prefer to keep pets your pets at home where they are comfortable and to prevent separation anxiety. From my personal experience as a breeder and trainer and having very special fur babies of my own this is my personal preference. My pets do not need to share in the experience and they are kept at home and do not interfere with our arrangement. However, I have a 2200 square foot home with 3 acres that are mostly fenced in. I usually walk pets around the property and those that are well trained are able to stay close by where I can unleash and play. Those that need extra care will be walked for their daily duties. I actively work online and am able to keep busy while hanging our at your home keeping everything nice and tidy just as your left it.
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic! Right from the initial conversation, to the meet and greet and then to the stay her communication was awesome. She was wonderful with my special boys, made them feel so loved and at home while she watched them. Ensured Jack got all his medications on time! She sent lots of photos and messages of the boys relaxing and hanging out. They were so at ease with her! Our house was spotless on return as well. We absolutely lucked out on finding her and are so excited to have her back in the future!”
“Alex was a great pet sitter over the holidays. She was a good communicator and helped with all the things around the house that needed to be done. Our two cats and dog were well taken care of.”
“Jennifer did a great job. I trust her with staying in my house and taking care of our dog Gucci. She left the house just as clean as we left it for her. Jennifer could not have done a better job. I am happy I found a permanent dog sitter.”
About: I have taken care of a number of dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances. Some of these dogs were temperamental others were just playful and rambunctious. I want to make this my full time job so animal care fits quite well into my overall schedule and routine. I don’t have any specific plans regarding other jobs other than the usual doctor appointments for necessities. I have pets at home so I will mimic what I do which are things like giving walks. Making sure to provide food and water (at certain times if requested). As well as playing with toys and letting them outside. This changes depending on what is needed or requesting.
About: I have had pets my entire life I have raised a cat to the age of 23 for entire life and have recently raised 2 beautiful baby boys from the the bottle. I have also had 4 or more dogs my entire life. Im always available all year around whenever you need me im there to take care of your wonderful pets only days I might not be available is if my own pets need something I have a fully enclosed yard and water available at all times I do have other pets but they are wonderful pets they love other pets
About: Needing a pet sitter? Well, you found her! I'm putting my self out there and offering services to the residents of Peaster/Poolville. I have worked 10+ years at a local animal emergency hospital. If your pet needs medications or is a diabetic, you might already know how hard it can be to find a boarding facility (without having to pay for medical boarding). My family and I have lived in Peaster for 13 years now and we love our community. Availability Schedule Monday through Friday, I work from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I am available for lunchtime drop-in visits or walks around 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM, depending on location and scheduling. I am off the majority of weekends, so weekend availability may be more flexible. Please feel free to reach out to confirm availability for weekend visits or special requests. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is for animals to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I take my time getting to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and loves attention or shy and needs a gentle approach, I adjust my care to fit their needs. I also make sure their environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free by checking food and water, cleaning up after them, and keeping their space tidy. With my veterinary field experience, I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, giving medications, and watching for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall health. I will always communicate with you and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is being well cared for while you are away.
“Geneva is an absolute all star! Our first time to work with her was when we left for an 11 day trip to Europe and she house sorted and babysat our fur babies. She took wonderful care of them and kept us updated the whole time. We will def be seeing a lot more of Geneva I’m sure of it! Very highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 4-5 years. Dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my church family and friends, I really enjoy it. I also have a fur baby of my own. I love him so much, and he is so spoiled, like any animal should be! I’m not really busy other than running maybe a few errands. I will be able to stay and play with your fur baby’s most of the day and all night. I have a spacious backyard where they can run and play. I do have 1 dog, golden retriever- he’s super sweet and friendly. Although, I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Lucilla was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and courteous with us, but more importantly she made our nervous and strong-willed dogs feel at ease. She has a calm confidence that dogs will really align with. We look forward to using her to care for our fur babies in the future and would highly recommend her.”
About: I have done pet sitting, pet boarding, dog walks, transporting pets to vets and to their new homes. I've done meds and other things needed Pets are my business and my life, my own 3 small dogs and other people's fur babies too. My life is pretty great for it I do dog walks in my home. And my own dogs can hangout in the bedroom while yours can enjoy run of the home or they can be together if yours prefers company
“Eden was such an amazing sitter for our one year old Great Dane! She was kind to our pup and our home as well, would recommend her to anyone that asks! She goes above and beyond a simple “dog watching” position and actually loves spending time with animals, so we trust her to our watch our boy anytime.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Peaster
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 908 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Peaster. 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 Peaster 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 Peaster 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 Peaster 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.
