“Annika is wonderful and my pets loved her, I think they miss her. She even worked with my dog who has issues with walking and he is doing better. I felt comfortable with her immediately and could feel her love for animals. I will definitely have her watch my babies again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Annika!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From energetic dogs and affectionate cats to birds, reptiles, and small animals, I’m comfortable providing attentive, compassionate care for a wide variety of pets. As someone who shares my own home with multiple animals, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining clean environments, and giving animals the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved member of your family. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. I’ll always treat your animals with the same kindness, respect, and dedication I give my own! Pet care doesn’t just fit into my daily and weekly routine—it IS my daily and weekly routine! With five dogs, six cats, a hamster, a blue-tongue skink, fish, and 36 chickens of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! My days revolve around feeding, cleaning, exercising, playing with, and making sure every animal in my care is happy, healthy, and comfortable. Managing a household with so many different species has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, attention to detail, and understanding each animal’s individual needs. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to squeeze into my schedule—it’s a lifestyle I genuinely love. Providing that same level of dedication, affection, and dependable care to your pets comes naturally to me! Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for animals. With a household full of pets of my own, I understand how important it is to provide a clean, secure, loving environment where every animal feels safe and respected. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize supervision, maintaining familiar routines, and making sure each animal has the space, attention, and care they need. I understand that introductions between animals should never be rushed, and I’m mindful of individual personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their pets and their property with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I also pay close attention to securing doors, gates, and other potential escape routes. I believe communication is an important part of building trust, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind!
“Marisa and Tahmi were FANTASTIC!!! They were so communicative throughout our very lengthy stay and asked a bunch of awesome questions. I felt completely at ease from thousands of miles away knowing how well my babies were being cared for. So many pictures were sent and my heart was so full seeing how well loves everyone was while we were gone. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Joey is absolutely wonderful! Our three Labrador boys really loved him and it put our minds at ease. He was very professional and made sure to re-visit our home before we left on our vacation so our boys could meet him again and to learn their schedule and ask questions. We had zero concerns while we were away which was very nice. He also sent us amazing photos of our boys every day. When we returned, the house was pretty much in the same shape as we left it. It was a great surprise to not have to come home to a mess. We could go on and on about how wonderful he is but overall, if you are looking for a great dog sitter, we would definitely recommend Joey!”
About: Having worked as both a dog trainer and a pet care associate for PetSmart for 3+ years - as well as having always been a pet owner myself - I’ve learned a great deal about how to suit the needs of each and every pet and how to best communicate with them and accommodate their needs! As a teacher aide with summers off, I will have almost complete availability over summer. I am flexible and willing to work with you to figure out what will work best for I can comfortably handle different types of animals with my 2+ years of experience owning my own (cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, etc) and working with different species, as well as training dogs at my previous job as a PetSmart worker for 3+ years!
About: I have taken care of all ages and all kinds of animals. Dogs love me but I am predominantly interested in caring for cats. Senior cats have a special place in my heart as I have had 2. I am comfortable providing medical care. I currently care for a diabetic cat who receives timed insulin shots twice a day. I work remote for a tech start up so I am free anytime that I do not have plans. I can be much more flexible than most sitters. I am clean, quiet and respectful. I would treat your house how I treat my house. My house is pristine. My goal is to keep my house clean looking like a luxury hotel. It’s important to me to build trust with your pets at their speed and make sure that your animals feel comfortable at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 76 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pike. 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 Pike 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 Pike 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 Pike 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.
