The girls were great, they cleaned up after themselves, including washing and folding their towels. Our dogs are pretty codependent and so they had to cuddle with them most of the time. It appears they followed the directions for feeding and medication’s. We will definitely use them in the future again.

Michelle stayed with Luna for a week, and she took care of both our dog and our house beautifully. I think our house is in better shape than when we left it! Michelle kept us updated with messages and pictures while we were away. Awesome pet-sitter!

Tamara was very communicative and took great care of our house and 2 dogs while we were gone for 5 days. We had busy schedules right before the trip, and so we weren't able to meet and greet ahead of time, but it was no issue at all and Tamara called me as soon as she got to the house and met the pups on day 1. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. I have one extremely energetic puppy, and a senior, lazier, alpha dog with separation anxiety. I can really tell the dogs were very happy and received lots of qualify attention and exercise while I was away. I will definitely be a repeat customer for as long as I'm living in the area. Thank you so much, Tamara!

About: work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care—whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them. I work remotely full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with the pets in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m house sitting in theirs. For dogs staying with me, I’m home throughout the day for plenty of attention, supervision, and frequent potty and play breaks in our fenced yard. They’re welcome to hang out with me while I work or find a comfortable spot to relax and nap. When I’m house sitting, I can work remotely from your home so your pets can enjoy the same companionship while staying in their familiar environment. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and downtime. Wherever I’m caring for your pet, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and make their time away from you feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my priority. I pay close attention to body language, behavior, and each pet’s individual needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and care routines. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, or take a break when they need one. I’m experienced with multi-dog households, different play styles, and recognizing when a dog needs some space. I also have gates to block access to stairs or separate areas of the home when needed, as well as multiple large crates for dogs who are crate-trained and feel most comfortable having their own space. When I’m house sitting, I’ll care for your pets and your home with the same attention I give my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s usual routine, respect any household rules or safety precautions, and make sure your home is secure while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and well cared for.

Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind.

She went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated all the love and attention she gave him. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you so much, Nancy!

We let her bring her dog over as well while she stays and our pups get along great with him! She is easily our first pick to take care of our pups. 11/10

I had a great experience with Gayle! She took care of Celine for a full week and did an amazing job. She sent me videos every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the videos that she spent plenty of time with Celine and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When I came home, Celine was happy and relaxed, and the house was left very clean and tidy. I really appreciate how responsible, attentive, and caring she was throughout the week. I would absolutely trust her with Celine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

About: I grew up with a cat, so I understand feline independence, quirks, and how to earn trust — even with the shy ones. Over the years, I’ve also lived with roommates who had dogs, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and just being a steady, calm presence for a dog who’s used to company. Beyond my own home, I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years — everything from quick daily check-ins to longer stays while people were traveling. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and communicate with owners so they feel at ease the whole time. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a quiet companion, or just someone reliable to make sure they’re fed and loved, I’m happy to step in. Since I work fully remote, I’m home basically all day, so your pet gets plenty of company rather than long stretches alone. We will go for walks or dog park time throughout the day. My apartment doesn’t have direct yard access, but the complex has several dog parks nearby for outdoor time and socializing. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s usual feeding routine, and I send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing throughout the stay.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and have two dogs of my own, so my house and life are always full of wagging tails and happy paws. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years and love making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I attended vet tech school and worked in a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care and health. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life since I have pets of my own. Walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure animals feel comfortable are all built into my routine. Pet sitting fits easily into my schedule, and I genuinely enjoy making time for animals so they get the attention, care, and cuddles they deserve while their owners are away. Whether pets are in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel safe and relaxed. That means sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they get lots of love and attention. I pay attention to their personalities and comfort levels and always make sure they feel cared for and at ease while their owner is away.

I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.

About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: Dogs have been a central part of my life since I was 7 years old. I grew up caring for both Cocker Spaniels and German Shepherds, so I know what it takes to care for energetic, intelligent, and strong-willed dogs! I have also helped a few shelters back in Russia so I'm comfortable managing different temperaments, and I tailor my care to fit each dog’s needs. I treat every dog like they’re part of my pack, and my goal is always to make your pup feel safe, seen, and loved while you're away. I'm pretty flexible right now as my only responsibility is my school so whether it's daily drop-ins, evening walks, or weekend sitting, I’ll make sure your pup gets the attention and care they need. If you need morning times just message me and we can work something out. In your home, I aim to keep your dog’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet gets personalized care: walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pettytown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 2,202 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pettytown. 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 Pettytown 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 Pettytown 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 Pettytown 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 Pettytown. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
