“Aaron was absolutely fantastic! Our boy seemed to love him and we were not worried at all while we were away. He left our home the same as it was when we left! Will definitely be using him again!”
“We really couldn't have had a better experience! Our dog Stanley does not make a good first impression, but Brad was so calm and patient with him. We set up a few visits between Brad and Stanley before we left for a long vacation and they became fast friends. This was our first time leaving our pup alone so we were nervous. He could not have been in better hands. Brad took amazing care of Stanley and gave us adorable photo updates throughout our trip. Stanley has made a new friend for life and we are thrilled! I would absolutely work with Brad again. He took great care of our best little buddy and our home at the same time. THANK YOU BRAD!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including puppies and seniors. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and giving every pet personal attention and affection. Safety and comfort always come first! I work online, so my schedule is super flexible and gives me lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m home most of the day and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or a walk, I’m always happy to be there for them. I care for pets in their own homes because I know how much more relaxed and happy they feel in a familiar space. I’m very gentle and patient, and I always follow your instructions to make sure your fur baby feels safe and loved. I’ll keep you updated and treat your pet like my own while you’re away.
“Johanna took care of our 2 labs and 2 cats for a weekend. She is a very responsible sitter, communicates regularly and has a good understanding of the animals and their needs. We got daily feedback and were very happy that our dogs got some great exercise.”
“Cate was a great companion for my social Maine Coon who does not like to be left alone. He was calm and relaxed when we got home which means he was very happy with Cate as a roommate. She was very flexible and easy to communicate with about details and gave me a nice update when I returned. Many thanks for this priceless service! Highly recommended :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been relied on to take care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I love taking them on adventures and I have some grooming experience. I specialize in caring for dogs with high energy. I am currently working a 9-5 from Monday to Friday but am available and have complete flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays for in house boarding. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I rely on the leash for security to bring the dogs out for many walks. I don’t have any pets so all of my attention will be focused on your pet.
“Excellent job with my dog’s complicated meds. Did well with both cat and dog. Was respectful of our space and not very demanding on food needs. Excellent sitter will use him again if we can.”
About: Hi! I grew up with two dogs who were a huge part of my life—I’ve always loved caring for them and having fun together. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, which gave me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Now that I’m living in the Boston area, I’d love to spend some of my free time helping care for pets who might otherwise be alone. I really miss my own, so this is a way for me to give back and share some love with yours! My two dogs had very different personalities, health needs, and energy levels, so I know how important it is to adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Above all, I aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I work at a bakery/café from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, five days a week. When I was living at home with my mom’s dogs, I had a similar schedule and loved taking them to a trail or park after work—it became a relaxing and meaningful part of my day. I’d love to build a similar routine here with dogs who need a walking buddy, because honestly, so do I! In clients’ homes, I do my best to keep your pets routine is consistent and comfortable as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play or cuddle time, and always feel safe and cared for. I understand how important it is to adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. I keep your space tidy and respect your home like it’s my own.
About: I’ve enjoyed caring for dogs since a young age. I have spent time volunteering at a shelter and learning techniques for dog training- specifically to help dogs with their confidence! I’m available during the daytime on Mondays and Thursdays to help with those who work. I am available after 6pm every other day for evening walks. Can do earlier in the mornings for a higher rate. Respect is always the way I choose to operate. Respect for the dog, the owner, and myself is how I approach every situation. Paying attention to the dog’s needs is the priority.
About: I grew up around dogs and have spent most of my life caring for them. I regularly walk and watch my sister’s French Bulldog, and I’ve also dog-sat and house-sat for families with a Bernedoodle and a Golden Retriever. I love spending time outside with dogs and am always happy to go on multiple walks a day. I believe plenty of playtime, attention, and affection make for the best experience, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets a lot of attention and consistency while you’re away. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or multiple visits a day. I grew up with multiple cats and am very comfortable caring for them, along with dogs as well. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I prioritize a calm, safe environment and make sure pets feel secure and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Mackenzie was great with our pets. She kept them active and engaged while we were away. She even brought our dog on new trails and runs. She sent photos and updates everyday. Our pets became great friends with her!”
“Briana was fantastic! She did a wonderful job communicating with me while I was gone, and gave Peach and Mika lots of love and cuddles. My house was nice and clean upon return, and the dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time she was here. Peach got lots of walkies with Briana, and she's comfortable walking dogs on a prong collar safely and correctly. Both dogs take meds daily, and Briana was comfortable administering them properly. I look forward to having her sit the girls again in the future if she's interested!”

About: I love pets and ever since I was little I was obsessed with them. I have watched over bunnies, hamsters, birds, and cats. But my favorite one of them all is my dog. We have had our little guy for about 3 years. He is a super happy and funny companion who will keep your dogs company alongside me. I am a college student and am currently available full time to take care of your pets. If there are any behaviors of which I should know, let me know ahead of time. On top of that if you want to tell me your dogs favorite scratching point that would be much appreciated. ( if not I’ll sherlock it anyway) I am currently home full time and therefore watching your dog is my 1st priority. It also gives me joy and excercise over the summer. Our first floor is quite big and has enough room for the dogs to play. My Pomeranian will also keep your dog company. My Pomeranian likes to sleep in my room in his crate. Your dog can sleep wherever they want and however they like it if they are potty trained. If not I would appreciate if a crate is brought along with the dog.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. Not only my animals, but neighbors and family friends. I’m a Vet Tech at the local animal hospital, so I’m prepared to care for your pets! I work full time as a Vet Tech, but have plenty of time in the morning, lunch time, and after work to care for your pets!

About: I have watched animals most of my life. I would walk family pets, neighbors, etc. I do a lot of overnight sitting while friends/family are on vacations. I would like to start up a side gig of walking and taking care of animals in my free time! I have a very flexible schedule I have a very friendly dog who can join for walks if preferred. I will do anything that is asked and take great care of your fur babies.
About: I have been taking care of my family's cats since I was in elementary school, but started fostering dogs two years ago. I ended up foster failing with my boy Maximus and it’s been all adventures since :) I am very comfortable working with any size leash reactive and anxious dogs and have been working through Maximus’ leash frustration for the past couple years. I truly love all animals and have been walking dogs on rover for a couple years now. I just moved to the Bay Area and I’m excited to meet some pups out here! I’m currently working full time with pretty standard hours. I am very flexible in the evenings after work and on the weekends. Let me know if you need a before work walk and I could probably make that happen! I live by myself in an apartment but I live very close to parks. I also love tiring out my dog with a hike and happy to do that with yours!
About: I love animals i have had dogs, cats, horses, chickens all my life. You will not find a more dedicated person than me. Your pets will get an abundance of snuggles from me. I am currently employed by the local animal hospital as a veterinary technician. I live with my wife, who's an occupational therapist at the human hopital( don't worry, she loves animals too), two daughters (9 and 12 years of age) and a Bernese mountain dog ( 5 years old) and two adopted kittens. It keeps me busy, but I can happily fill in playtime with another pet. I have a very gentle big dog, a family that loves pets and a fully fenced-in yard. We are mere steps from the dog park, the beach and the state forest, so plenty of opportunities for any kind of pet.
About: When your dog stays with us, he will feel like he’s on vacation too! My husband and I are energetic, loving, and always ready for playtime, snuggles, or a good adventure. We live in a beautiful area with plenty of green spaces and we love to hike and trail walking— so your pup will get plenty of opportunities to explore and exercise with us! Every pup i’ve taken care of has become part of my family and takes a piece of my heart with him. So let’s chat and arrange the break in routine that you and your pup both deserve! I’m currently a stay at home wife and I love the outdoors, so having a companion for my walks will be a win-win situation! I am available to take walks at multiple times of the day! We live in an apartment but there are lots of designated pet and green areas around our complex and lots of trails that we can walk to. I like to spend time outside and live an energetic lifestyle. I love training puppies and I have even successfully trained adult rescue dogs when guven enough time.

Anna was awesome! Excellent communicator, friendly, caring, attentive and flexible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Polpis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Polpis on Rover is $154.46 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 172 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Polpis. 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 Polpis 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 Polpis 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 Polpis 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 Polpis. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
