About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to provide the greatest care to their furry family members. I have had various pets my whole life and this is what I love doing. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to make your pet feel at home and give them the love and attention to make them feel safe and right at home. I have a large fenced back yard. I have a cat who gets along with dogs as well as a Macaw and a couple of tiny creatures in a cage. I am open to however you need me to care for your pet in home. Walking, sitting, playing, feeding, administering medicine, anything needed to make you feel comfortable leaving your pet in my care.
“Rachel was great! She was able to accommodate our very last minute trip and watch our dog in our home for 3 days. Our dog immediately loved Rachel, and we could tell our fur baby was well cared for while we were gone. Will definitely hope to use her again in the future!”
“Lucy was great with the dogs! She sent pictures to me of them while I was away and made them feel loved and cared for! She was even sweet enough to clean up my house since I was in a rush when I left. She is a fantastic sitter! Would absolutely use her again!”
“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”
“Justyce did a great job with our pets. They seemed tired out when we got home. Even with a small scheduling mistake they were willing to work with us to take care of all of our animals.”
“Hannah did a fantastic job with our old girl, Sophie! She was very communicative and sent pics throughout the weekend while we were away! I look forward to having her dog sit again!”
About: I pride myself on being dependable, communicating regularly with pet parents through updates and photos, and following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide not only exceptional care for your pets but also peace of mind for you. Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I set aside time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I am dependable, flexible, and committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care that keeps every pet happy, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I provide a safe, clean environment and regular updates.
“This was our second time using Tracy and he was just as fantastic this time. We had an overnight trip and needed someone to stay in our home with our dog and two cats and he kept us updated and the pets were happy and safe with him there. I would definitely book Tracy again in the future.”
About: I love dogs, and I get along well with people everyone tends to like me. I grew up around dogs, and at home we had three Golden Retrievers. My family has even sold dogs at times, so I’m comfortable handling and caring for all kinds of dogs. I’m usually available from 2:00 PM until nighttime. We can discuss and arrange something based on your specific needs! I hope I can meet both your needs and your dog’s needs. I will be taking care of your dog in the comfort of your home, providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“We just can't say enough great things about Morgan!! Our girls love Morgan and even though they are happy when we get back home, they whine after she leaves because they miss her too!! I feel like Morgan really cares and treats our babies as if they were her own. 😊”
“Caty is very sweet and really treated our dog like her own. You can tell she has a big heart for pets and I know our fur baby thinks the same. Our dog is older with recent health issue. Caty did everything she could to help our girl feel better when we weren’t home. She communicated very well, taking many pictures to put our minds at ease. Thank you for always going above any beyond Caty!”
About: I am thrilled to spend time with as many furry and fluffy friends as possible. This summer I am going to be very active and engaged with a lot of outside activities. I have two adorable dogs and they enjoy running with my family. We have a fun dog park and a pet spa where all the cleaning and grooming magic happens. I often take my dogs around the city to bigger parks and we have a lot of toys for them. I have been taking care of pets since 2010. I took some time off, but now I'm available again for the summer. I am available mostly weekdays, but if I am really needed I can extend my availability to the weekends. Please let me know in advance.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. And recently worked at a dog kennel, so I have experience working with all kids of dogs and cats also! Right now I don’t have a job and I am available just about any time, day or night. I would like to have one day off a week and that day is Sunday but if I need to work I can! I can come to your house as much as I need to take care of your pets. I won’t have boarding services because I don’t have a fenced in yard but I can come to your house!
“Alicia was wondering. Came to visit prior to watching our fur baby Emerson and this past weekend was the first time we have ever left him. He will be 5 July 13th. She frequently sent pictures to show how comfortable he was and keep us updated on their day! Emerson appeared to be extremely comfortable and happy! He didn’t even bark “YELL” at us when we got home like he does when we have to go to run errands. We have another vacation planed in July for a whole week and we feel extremely comfortable her house sitting again. Kudos to Alisha!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 40+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior companions, I understand that every dog has unique needs -- and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy, comfortable, and secure. Caring for dogs has never felt like a job to me -- it’s something I genuinely love. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I take pride in creating a calm, attentive, and nurturing environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details like routines, feeding schedules, medications, and those little quirks that make your dog who they are. I especially enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get both the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. For overnight care, I focus on consistency and comfort so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities -- and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule alongside my full-time role. I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide dependable care before and after work, as well as in the evenings. I’m also available for early morning walks, evening visits, and overnight stays, ensuring your dog receives attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is especially flexible on weekends, which allows me to dedicate additional time for longer walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I’m intentional about only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet will receive reliable, attentive care every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to maintain as much of their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences or habits your pet is used to. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise -- whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or simply spending quiet time together. I’m attentive to behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off and communicate with you right away if needed. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own -- keeping things tidy, secure, and organized. You can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My priority is always to provide dependable, loving care so your pet stays happy and your home is well cared for in your absence.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses and reptiles. As a college student, I fostered 8 puppies and adult dogs over the course of a few years. Since then, I have been pet & house sitting for neighbors with pets of all ages and breeds. I love being able to provide high quality pet care to my community! I’m currently a graduate student so my schedule is very flexible and can be tailored to meet your needs. I can work fully remotely as needed to ensure your pets are cared for to the highest quality. I am happy to come to you to provide pet care and am able to transport your pet to local trails or dog parks if desired.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 114 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pike Road. 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 Road 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 Road 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 Road 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
