Debbie was great! Great communication, photos, and my dog seemed to really like her. My dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. She also watered all my outside flowers while I was away.

Briana was very communicative the whole time we were out of town! We have a large dog that is very picky with new people and she took great care of him! We received several photos and videos over the four days we were gone. Definitely recommend!

Faith did a fantastic job with our two busy Labradors. She followed their schedule perfectly and made sure they got plenty of exercise. The 6 days she was here wasn’t with challenges and she handled them perfectly. I appreciated all the updates and pictures. Her sister, Shauna stepped in when Faith had to take her Mother to the doctor. Both ladies were lovely and I will definitely use them again.

Katelin was awesome! I had multiple travel changes and she was able to take care of my pets with out hesitation. I received multiple pictures of them having fun the whole time I was gone. Katelin watched the entire place and even was able to notice a broken sprinkler and shut down the system... 100% recommend her !!!!

Taylor was fantastic to work with. She communicated with us daily, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent, as well as the detailed message on the last day before she left explaining what had been done and anything we should be aware of when we returned home. Throughout our trip, we felt confident that our animals were well cared for and that their needs were being met. Thanks to Taylor's thoughtful communication and attentive care, we came home knowing exactly what our pets might need and found them happy and well looked after. We would gladly book with her again.

About: Taken care of all types of animals including farm animals. I’m an avid animal walker as well. I’ve worked on a farm, I’m also trained with horses. I work a daytime, split shift so I am able to come back and forth to check on any animals I may be caring for. I offer both my home and services at a clients' home, however, I do prefer sitting at my clients’ homes as it often less stressful for the animal.

About: I’ve cared for many pets throughout my life including the 6 i've had the pleasure of help raising and learned hands-on responsibility, plus guidance from my cousin who is a vet tech ensures attentive care. I do school online so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, with dedicated time for morning and evening visits, walks, feeding, and play, while maintaining flexibility for additional needs. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In client’s home, I follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, affection, and exercise, and I send regular updates for peace of mind. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm space with consistent routines, supervision, and lots of love to help them feel comfortable and secure.

About: I work as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care facility in town. I’ve worked in urgent care going on 4 years and general practice for 2 years. I occasionally cat sit and dog sit. I have a lot of knowledge in my career but I also love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, the clients and I just overall enjoy the joy they bring to me! I work 3 12s but I am able to stop in the check on the fur babies on my lunches. I also am very flexible with times I need to go take care of them on my days off as well. I have two kitties of my own. I don’t plan on being able to board pets at my own home due to me renting a house without a fenced backyard.

About: Hi! I'm Dakota, and I've been around animals my entire life. From schnauzers and springer spaniels to Rottweilers and labs, I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe pets are family, and I love getting to know each animal's unique quirks and needs. I'm a dependable, punctual person who values honesty and communication. I understand that life happens and not everything is within our control. Whether schedules change unexpectedly or your pet needs a little extra patience and understanding, I'll always do my best to work with you and provide compassionate care. I have two energetic kids, a Russell Terrier, and a playful Labrador of my own, so caring for animals is simply part of my everyday life. I start each day with walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of pet care, and I end my days the same way. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for is second nature to me. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and quality one-on-one attention for your furry family members. I have a small fenced backyard that's perfect for supervised playtime and games of fetch. I also prioritize safety by avoiding outdoor activities during extreme temperatures and always following your pet's feeding schedules and care routines. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own.. with patience, kindness, consistency, and lots of love. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your animals, and I would be honored to be that person for your family. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I have two rambunctious kids, a Russell Terrier, and a Labrador of my own, so I understand that life with pets can be both busy and rewarding. I'm currently a full-time online student, and aside from my regular household responsibilities, I have a very flexible schedule. Checking in on fur babies is easy to accommodate and truly one of my favorite parts of the day. I love providing pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. I have a small, fully fenced backyard that provides a safe space for supervised outdoor play and games of fetch. My Labrador is very playful and loves having a canine companion to run around with! While my yard isn't large, it's plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and fun. Your pet's safety and routine are always my top priorities. I closely follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and outdoor time. Walks are also an important part of a dog's day, weather permitting, and I always check pavement temperatures to ensure it's safe for sensitive paws before heading out.

About: I was a dog walker and a dog sitter at 11 years old for an ER doctor with a very busy schedule. She had five dogs, four of them were huskies and one of them was a jack terrier. I had to walk all of the dogs, feed them and give a few of them their medication’s. She had an older blind husky that required eyed drops at certain times throughout the day. Including two dogs with severe anxiety who needed medication. She had an older blind husky that required eye drops at certain times throughout the day. I grew up with dogs in my home mainly English bulldogs. Throughout my high school experience I was on the rodeo team. I worked at a horse back riding center teaching lessons, taking care of horses and other livestock. I am currently just home for the summer from college. I have recently moved in with my grandparents. I have a lot of spare time! I would love to walk, cuddle, and play with your pets! I think all pets deserve treats and to be spoiled. I also believe trust is with the animals and the Owners. It’s very important to me that your animal is happy and all of their needs are meet. Your animals safety, comfort and happiness is my top priority.

FAQs for House Sitting - Port Kelley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 256 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port Kelley. 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 Port Kelley 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 Port Kelley 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 Port Kelley 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 Port Kelley. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
