“Hannah M did a great job! She gave our pups all the attention they needed while we were gone for nearly a week. And she kept up with any mess they made aswell and stayed in contact with us often. We greatly appreciate it.”
“Darlenne did a wonderful job watching our puppy for an overnight stay! She was responsive, reliable, and made us feel at ease leaving her in our home. Our puppy was happy and well-cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds, including high-energy dogs, seniors, and even puppies. I am comfortable administering oral medications and topical treatments when needed. Your dog's health, safety, and comfort always come first. I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. We'll enjoy playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and plenty of pets. I'm confident maintaining existing training and reinforcing good habits along the way. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely committed to your dog's well-being, I'd love to help care for your four-legged family! I currently work full-time, with typical 8-5 hours, however my schedule is flexible which allows me to be flexible to your dogs needs. If I am staying at your home, my routine will be molded to fit the needs of your pet, including when I wake up, being home with your pup when I am not at work, walks, and more. Your pet is my priority! I will follow all your instructions, and assure that the care of your pet(s) and your property is excellent.
“We were so happy with Haidyn and will certainly be using her again! She was quick to reply and easy to coordinate with, reliable and kind. She house sat our energetic foster dog as well as our many cats while we were out of the country and we came home to happy animals and a clean home! She was very knowledgeable about animals and did her research on our dog's needs prior to meeting. We greatly appreciated her passion and love for animals, knowing ours were being so well taken care of while we were gone.”

I am flexible with my schedule, and like to plan in advance. I would love to help out in house/pet sitting! I am safe, trustworthy, and reliable when taking care of pets. I grew up taking care of many animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, frogs, fish, etc. I can feed, walk, play with, and support furry friends :).
“Cali was amazing! Our pets love her. We will 100% be using her as our sitter whenever we go out of town. She communicated through the booking, sent pictures of our babes while we were aware and treated our home with respect. I highly recommend booking with Cali!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life as pets. I have also volunteered over 5 years at local animal shelters. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats at weeks old up until geriatrics. I can walk dogs that a perfectly trained and new to the leash. I am also a cat mother of 2. I am responsible, timely, and will over communicate to ensure the best care for your pet. I am young and always looking for a new way to move my body and always find joy in having the companionship of an animals while doing so. I have a part time job that takes priority, but I often have many open hours and days in between that I am looking to fill with opportunities to help care for animals. I will take care of your pets in your home just as you would. I am a firm believer in not messing with our pets routines if we don’t have too. They will be missing their owner already, no need for them to miss anything else. I can take complicated instructions at the comfort of the pets and owners!
About: Hi! First of all, I am an animal lover of all kinds. From a young age I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, cattle, etc. Including hunting/working dogs, senior animals and young puppies and kittens from the time they were born. Not only do I have experience with your everyday house pet; if you’ve got big animals/livestock, I’ve got you covered there too! I do work full time, however my hours are 6:00am-2:00pm Monday-Thursday. So evening drop ins during those days are doable/welcome! Thursday- Sunday I’m available to any care that may be needed for your pet! I will ensure that I use proper procedures that you as the owner expect of me, for example using leashes, specific collars, and maintaining a watchful eye on your dog while they within a fenced perimeter or on our walks through the neighborhood!
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have had multiple pets in my life. Right now I have a 4 year old cat and a 1 year old dog. I am currently home all the time. Only if I’m shopping for different things like grocery or pet food and toys. We usually wake up at 6 and then it’s breakfast time then we go for walks. I have a fenced in small yard but big enough to run around and play in. I have to animals. I have a dog and a cat. My babies enjoy watching their tv shows. They both have different interests and favorite so they usually take both the tvs in my house.
“Jordyn was wonderful with our very spoiled pets. She updated us often with photos and took great care of all three of them. Knowing they were safe and taken care took a huge burden off during a stressful travel. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets of all sizes, from teacup chihuahuas to large mixed breeds, before moving to this area. I enjoy keeping dogs and cats active while making sure they stay well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable. I’m reliable, attentive, and love giving pets plenty of care and attention while their owners are away. I’ve also partnered with multiple animal shelters to help provide donations through social media outreach. Along with promoting donations, I’ve spent time caring for the animals, helping socialize them, and even assisting some in finding loving homes through adoption. I am currently a full-time college student taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m highly organized and able to balance school responsibilities while providing reliable and attentive pet care. I value communication with pet owners above all else so I can understand their pet’s routine, environment, and individual needs. Before walks or visits, I like to quickly check the area for any choking hazards or anything unsafe on the floor. I always try to stay close and attentive to animals while also respecting their space and avoiding overstimulation so they feel safe and comfortable.
“Aiden was a great help watching Mickie when I went on vacation. My flight home got delayed 2 days due to weather and he was able to extend his stay and take care of her until I got back.”
“Anna was absolutely great! This was the first time I had someone come to the house and watch our dog. Our dog can be a handful at times especially on walks, but she did so well. She sent pictures throughout the stay and kept me updated. Definitely will use her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Phelps
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 345 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Phelps. 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 Phelps 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 Phelps 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 Phelps 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.

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.
