“Jessica did a fabulous job watching our five dogs. It is not an easy job! She kept us informed and had great communication. Even though she lived quite a distance away, she came to a meet and greet with them. It was a wonderful experience.”

“I could see the love that Kylie had for animals when we first met with her. She came by twice in advance of our trip to get the dogs, especially Miller, comfortable with her. The only thing that keeps me from giving her 5 stars is that except for the first day, I had to initiate any check-ins with her. Once I did that, she sent pictures, updates, etc. She did say her messages were not going through but I would expect, since she had my number, she would send text updates. I hope she gets that resolved, as I would book with her again.”

About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 5 years and am comfortable with older pets or those that need special care. I’ve had pets my entire life and love caring for them! I am primarily available on weekends due to my job in veterinary medicine. I am typically free on Wednesdays and later in the evenings on other weekdays. I feel every pet is unique and has a different personality which requires individualized care. I will work with you to best meet your pets’ needs and love them as though they’re my own.

“Monica was truly incredible and one of the best experiences we’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She stayed in our home for four evenings caring for our 3 dogs, our cat, and even our fish, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent consistent photo and text updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to actually relax while we were away. She went above and beyond in so many ways that made a real difference. She washed her dishes, did the hand towels she used, took the time to get our cat’s fountain running again using somewhat tedious directions, and even handled cleaning up some unexpected basement flooding after a major storm. Everything was taken care of thoughtfully and without us having to worry. We came home to a house that looked and smelled incredible. It was spotless, organized, and she paid attention to the smallest details, like setting lights back exactly how we had left them. It genuinely felt like walking into a calm, cared-for space instead of coming home to a to-do list. This experience honestly felt so much better than having a friend or family member help out. There was no guilt, no worrying about being a burden, and no second guessing anything. Monica is clearly experienced and professional, and it shows in how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. On top of everything else, she is just a genuinely kind, warm, and easy person to communicate with. I was honestly a little sad we didn’t get more time to be home and connect with her because she is such a joy to be around. We tried to make her feel welcome with snacks, cash, and a few small take-home gifts, but it still doesn’t feel like enough compared to the level of care she gave our home and our pets. Monica was truly a gift, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her any chance we get.”

“Hana is such an angel!! She was so willing to look after my pets on a short notice and stay in my home. She even brought treats for them and sent daily updates with pictures :) My pets were so loved during her stay and the house was in better condition than when I left. I will definitely be asking for her services in the future!”

About: I’m a passionate dog lover who treats every pup like part of the family! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and patient. Whether it’s a long walk, a playful romp in the yard, or cuddles on the couch, I make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure their daily routine is fun and stress-free. With me, your furry friend will always have a caring companion. 4+ years of experience! Pitbull friendly. I am currently a full-time nursing student. I have classes on Wednesday and Thursday mornings but other than that I am always available to care for your pets! In my home: I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I make sure all areas are pet-proofed, with no access to dangerous items, chemicals, or small objects they could swallow. Dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation throughout the day, with regular walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and always follow any dietary or medication instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home: I always respect my clients’ space and routines. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, play, and medication. I make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secured. I also provide updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away, ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and loved in their familiar environment.

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.

“Sydnie stayed in our home and looked after our three fur babies (energetic beagles) for a long weekend- she was fantastic! We rarely leave them and I hate being away, but Sydnie put me at ease by keeping me updated on how everything was going (the three of them together can be a bit of a handful), was great at communicating with photos and kept them safe and happy. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to tidy up. Thanks again Sydnie!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Pottersburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 629 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pottersburg. 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 Pottersburg 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 Pottersburg 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 Pottersburg 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pottersburg. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
