“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.”
“Riley is awesome!! She took such good care of my two pups while we were traveling for the holidays. She sent lots of updates with pictures. They got lots of cuddles and attention. I appreciated that Riley treated them like her own. Will definitely be using Riley in the future and would recommend to my friends in the area!!”
About: I have been responsible for caring for animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been something I truly enjoy. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was just 12 years old, and growing up, my family always had dogs, horses, and livestock. I learned early on that animals depend on us for their care, safety, exercise, and companionship. As an adult, we have had several family pets, all of whom remained part of our family for their entire lives. One of our dogs was a diabetic Chesapeake Retriever who required daily insulin, which taught me the importance of being consistent, attentive, and comfortable with special care needs. I currently live at a lake house situated on three lots, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. I have two rescue dogs of my own—a Lab mix who has been with us for ten years and a one-year-old Mountain Cur mix. My home has two floors with separate entrances, which allows me to safely and easily separate dogs if they need their own space or don’t get along. I enjoy taking my dogs on leash walks down to the lake and around the neighborhood, and I am always careful to clean up after them. I have also cared for my grand-dog in Queens, so I am very familiar with the responsibilities that come with caring for someone else’s beloved pet, including keeping their space clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I don’t see caring for dogs as simply a responsibility—I genuinely love spending time with them. I enjoy playing with dogs, giving them attention and affection, taking them for walks, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while they are in my care. I understand that leaving a pet with someone is a big decision, and I would treat every dog entrusted to me as I would my own. I am retired so my availability is wide open. I have plenty of room both inside and outside for your pet. I live with an adult son so my dogs are cared for if i commit to sitting at your home. I have three lots so plenty of room for dogs to play. It is not fenced so I will always be with your dog whenever outside. I live in a rural neighborhood so I can walk dogs on a leash throughout the neighborhood including down to the lake.
About: I’ve worked at a humane society as an animal care technician, I cleaned kennels, walked dogs, socialized with dogs and cats, fed and provided water, and gave medication prescribed to dogs. I also dog sat for my mom’s friend for a full week, I fed them and filled their water bowls and gave them daily attention with multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I’m currently a college student and schedule wise I am available on weekends and for Monday and Friday I’m available after 11:00am and for the rest of the weekdays I’m available after 2:30pm I don’t have any pets of my own but when I am at my parents house I take care of the dogs by feeding them and filling water bowls, I also spend time with them by play tug of war. So if you need someone who will show your pet affection, you can count on me
“This is thw first time I used Cali. She was prompt. She sent pictures. Babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Ahe even went above and beyond and did some housework for me!”
“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.”
About: I have helped my mother in the past babysitting and taking care of dogs so I am sure I have the ability to do the same on my own. I am currently not working; taking a little break so I have all the time in the world to help out you and your pets! Making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Take them on many walks, play with their toys, and lots of head rubs and head pats!
About: I have owned and operated my own dog boarding business for the last 5 years. I have also been blessed through those years, of caring for dogs & being able to meet ALL their wonderful humans!! I also opened Arizona's 1st Doggy Ice Cream Bar in 2023 and it was so much fun!! 🐶🎉 I truly love our 4 legged friends and I think it shows in my news articles/reviews. I don't think you will ever find another sitter that will care for your pup like I do!! ☺️♥️🐶 It is ALL day... EVERYDAY!! I revolve around their schedule! THEY come first!! Dogs are my LIFE & I wouldn't want it any other way!! 😅♥️🐶👍 I can accommodate the dog to WHATEVER the owner wants FOR the dog. It's ALL about "Them". Their needs come first and I can assure you that those needs will be met.
“Laura was fantastic with our animals. They loved her, they did not appear to be stressed at all like they were after leaving them at a facility kennel type environment. She was great, our residence was watched over and our pets were safe in their own environment. Denali and Remington seem to miss her after she had left. Great job Laura, you deserve more than 5 stars but that’s all there is. I would definitely recommend her to everyone.”
“Stacy took great care of my fur baby! She sent me daily updates and pictures of him, and made sure to spend so much time giving him attention. This was my first time leaving Bentley, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in such great hands! She even took him on extra walks, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)”
About: I have worked with dogs for 6 years, I own two dogs as well. A German Shepherd/Belgian Maliniois named Dex he is 5 years old and he has so much energy but is the biggest friendly fur ball. I also have a Cavachon named Dakota, he is 3 years old and he a couch potato inside and a dare devil outside. I work at a doggy daycare currently so I’ve worked with various breeds and I understand that you can not judge a dog based on breed. I also worked with temperaments and personality as well, I can manage the behaviors if walks are taking. I’m also in vet tech school so I’m currently learning more about dogs such as health issues and signs. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide your furry family members with attentive, loving care throughout the day. Your pets will be closely monitored and cared for 24/7 in a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home for every pup in my care. Crates are only used for feeding if needed, and the rest of the time your furry friend is free to roam and relax. My home also has security cameras for added peace of mind. Your pup will enjoy walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love while they’re with me. I respect each pups routine and personality, and fresh water is always available to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and would love to get some exercise while also getting to meet and walk adorable doggies when I’m free!! Working part time so my schedule is very open:) I am available during the week and on weekends and even last minute walks will do! With this Texas heat I will make sure your pups have plenty of water and walks in as much shade I can find to protect those paws! I can dog sit, play, walk, go to dog parks in the area, and give positive reinforcement with treats:)
About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals. With cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I'm comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra gentleness and patience. Beyond cats and dogs, I have experience with small animals including ferrets, rabbits, and rodents. I understand that each species has unique needs — ferrets need supervised playtime and mental stimulation, rabbits require a calm environment and proper diet, and rodents need safe handling and clean, comfortable spaces. I'm experienced in medicating animals of all kinds, including oral medications, drops, and topical treatments — even with pets that can be resistant. Please note that I'm not able to accommodate aggressive large or extra large dogs, as safety is my top priority for all animals in my care. No matter the species, I approach every animal with patience, love, and respect. Your pet is in caring, knowledgeable hands. Pet care is not just something I do — it’s a natural part of who I am. I currently care for multiple pets of my own daily, so feeding schedules, medication routines, playtime, and check-ins are already built into my day from morning to night. My routine starts early with morning feedings and care, midday check-ins, and evening wind-downs — so visiting or hosting your pet fits seamlessly into what I already do every single day. I’m home frequently, which means pets in my care are never left alone for long periods. On a weekly basis I stay on top of clean environments, health monitoring, and making sure every animal is happy and thriving. Pet care is my passion and my lifestyle — not just a side task. I care for pets in my own clean, cozy, and pet-friendly home where they receive 24/7 love, supervision, and attention. I provide a safe, calm space and follow their routines closely. I send frequent updates so you always feel connected and confident.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 354 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
