“Amber did a great job taking care of the house, it looked better than when we left and the pups were all well cared for. We have a couple of tricky doggos one is aggressive with other dogs, outside of his pack, the other guards their food and one is just a bit older and can just be a little needy from time to time. All to say Amber did great and we’d recommend her without question. Thank you!!!”

“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”

“Zoe has been an amazing sitter! We get daily updates and pictures and when we get back from our trips our home is spotless. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and are so so happy to have someone we can trust to watch our pets!”

“Bailey was the sweetest thing and we were very grateful she could accommodate us through the weekend. She was very responsive every time we reached out via text and we appreciate her meeting us in advance to introduce the pups to her.”

“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was about 4! I have a big family with lots of aunts and uncles that rely on me to take care of their dogs while they are gone on trips. I love getting to know pets with all different personalities. I work 8-5 five days a week with rotating days. I go straight back to your home after work and am able to spend the rest of the night with your pets. I have a lunch in the middle of the work day I can check on the pets depending on distance. I am easy to reach outside of sleeping hours and can give any updates needed. I keep a close eye on your pets and keep in touch if anything seems out of the ordinary with them to take the best action.
“Rachel was our sitter and her wife stopped by from time to time. I had previously offered her wife to come and stay as well but Rachel was thoughtful enough to still ask if it was ok for her wife to stop by. My dogs absolutely loved them both and their daughter as well. 1 of our dogs has his guard up but with them, he did amazing and loved them all. I was consistently sent beautiful photos of the time they all spent together. Rachel cleaned after herself and I would've never known she stayed here. Highly recommend her and would definitely use her again”

About: I grew up with two rescue dogs who I took care of. They were brother and sister. I always loved taking care of them. The brother was a bit on the slow side but he was really friendly. His sister lived to 18, and as needy as she was I loved taking care of her. It required a gentle hand that I was happy to provide. I love animals in general, and would be glad to help take care of anyone’s pets. I work part-time as a mover. Usually 2-3 times a week for 2-4 hours. The only other commitments I have during the week is church on Sunday mornings. I am available most days and nights. Since I am a college student I do not have any pets right now, so this job gives me the opportunity to spend some time with furry friends who make me very happy.

“Melia really connected with our cats (which is not always the case for sitters). She also handled a completely crazy situation that popped up with calm and professionalism. We will definitely be booking her again!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!

About: I've taken care of lots of different types of animals including fish, birds, goats, horses, hamsters, dogs and cats; my mom has a small hobby farm that I help out with frequently and it has given me great experience with animals and being able to connect and form relationships with them. I have a senior cat and dog in my household, so I have experience with accommodating to older pets needs. Along with senior pets, I have raised a newborn kitten and young puppies. Not only do I have experience with many pets, but I genuinely take a personal joy in taking care of and spending time with them too. I currently work part-time at Walmart on a rotating schedule that shifts every three weeks, which actually gives me awesome flexibility! Because my hours change up, I often have some great daytime availability during the week when your pets might need a midday break. When I’m not working or pet sitting, I also run a small commissioned baking business from home. I'm incredibly organized, a pro at following precise "recipes" for specific pet care routines, and will always treat your home with total respect. Just let me know what your furry friend needs, and we can easily coordinate with my schedule to make it work! The safety of your pet(s) is my top priority. I always double check any doors and/or locks, along with leashes being attached correctly. Even if you have a fence, I will provide supervised yard/play time. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it as clean or cleaner than it was left. I can send photo updates as frequently as requested, and I am easy to contact with little to no time between responses.
“Marcellene and her husband did wonderfully with our small zoo of dogs and cats, including a senior dog that needed medication and an overanxious dog. We met them in advance at the meet and greet and were pleased with their open communication. We received pictures and updates throughout the stay, multiple times a day, which was very important to us. They were adaptable and actively tried to be helpful with all of our requests. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy animals. We also booked them separately for a last minute drop in to take our dogs in the backyard and they were super accommodating. We are very thankful.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for as long as I can remember, walking, feeding, poop pick-up, bathing, and of course playing. I’ve grown up in a household with all shapes and sizes of dogs and occasionally cats. Now that I’m older I foster seven cats and take care of my family’s two dogs! I’ve taken care of and tended to horses, sheep, chickens, goats, lizards, ferrets, and bunnies though so don’t be afraid to reach out if you have other pets that need some love too! I’m currently finishing my senior year of high school! I only go to school on A-Days so B-Days I’ll be available to tend to all the pets needs all day whereas A-Days I’ll only be able to help on mornings and nights! I’m always available on weekends though! I’ve taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes and I understand just like everyone how hard it is to find a pet-sitter expecially if you have multiple pets! I’ve always loved animals though and can guarantee you’re pets will be in good hands and have a good time!
About: I grew up with animals always in our house! My family had dogs (from border collies to dachshunds), cats, rats, and fish. I have also frequently done pet sitting for my extended family members. These family member have asked me to care for dogs (from great danes to boston terriers), kittens, lizards, and guinea pigs. I love to spend time with animals, whether it is by hanging out on the couch or going on walks. I especially enjoying spending time with older pets, I enjoy supporting them when they start to slow down and always make sure they’re comfortable. I am currently working part time at a school for adults with disabilities, some of the students I also provide care for at their homes when needed. I am looking for some opportunities to spend time with animals, as I miss having them around since I can’t keep one in my apartment. When caring for pets, I am always willing to come to their home and support them in anyway I can. I enjoy taking them on walks if needed, or even just hanging out at the home so they aren’t alone. I love any details given and only appreciate when people want the best care for their pets. I want to be someone who clients feel will take excellent care of their pets.
“This is the second time I’ve had Jayd and Ecko watch my dog. They’re so great with him and make sure that he’s comfortable and happy. They’re super great with checking in and responding back quickly.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Peterson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,955 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Peterson. 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 Peterson 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 Peterson 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 Peterson 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.
