Linda is the best! She took pictures of our pups every day and answered my texts immediately. Our dogs were so happy to see us but easily settled down because their routine had not been disrupted

Trenton was an absolute lifesaver! We’ve had some disappointing experiences with sitters on this app recently ranging from not following instructions to doing quick 30-minute drop-ins when we specifically requested house sitting. Trent completely restored our faith in Rover. He followed all of our instructions to the letter, took excellent care of our dog Thor, and even kept our home clean and organized, something we haven’t experienced with past sitters. We truly appreciate his reliability and professionalism. We will most definitely continue using his services.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now. I own 3 dogs myself and take care of them everyday. I have also worked at an overnight boarding place for animals, volunteered at animal shelters, fed many pets, walked many dogs, and I hope to continue bettering animals. I am currently working a part-time job however, i am available after 4:30pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends! Please send me a message if you are confused about my availability! I will make sure your pets have everything they need whether that’s attention, belly rubs, extra potty breaks, long walks, or even a cuddle buddy

This was my first time hiring a dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier with Savanna. She was knowledgeable attentive and punctual. She showed a desire to get to know my dogs and cat and maintain their routine. I received photos and updates daily. I highly recommend her and plan on hiring her whenever I need a house/dog sitter in the future.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. Also for full disclosure up front, I do work two jobs during the summer. I am a part time math tutor and I also work at Costco. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routine, personality, and comfort. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require extra care, slower walks, or medication support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I truly care about making both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable and consistent for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get the attention, feeding, and interaction they’re used to. Whether it’s quick drop-ins or longer visits, I’m committed to being on time and keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to their behavior and environment to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and tidy, including maintaining litter boxes and feeding areas. I always make sure doors, windows, and entry points are secure, and I’m mindful about preventing escapes—especially with indoor cats. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at ease and you have complete peace of mind.

About: Ever sense I was a kid I've loved taking care of any animal under the sun, and I still do. When I got my first dog I was so excited and loved him no matter what. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pets. I am avaliable on weekdays at anytime and will give your pets the attention they want. I can give all of my attention to your pets and make them feel happy and excited or the opposite where both of us can relax and enjoy eachothers company.

About: I am open to caring for any and all pets. As someone who currently has 3 Great Pyrenees, an Austrian Kelpie puppy, and other pets, I am experienced in all areas and types. I have open availability to care for pets. I work for myself so build my schedule around jobs and appointments as needed. I am very flexible with accommodations so please reach out if you have any questions. I do not offer overnight in home care at the moment due to all of my pets at home but will gladly stay at your home with your pet. I can send pictures and videos of your pet to you and don't mind cameras in the home so you can drop in any time and see your fur and/or scaly baby.

About: This is the first time in my life I have no pets and I miss all the snuggles and fun and love we give each other. My kitties have since all died and I miss having them around. I cannot have any at my home currently, soooo I want to take care of yours! I have had kitties since I was 5 years old so they have Always been in my life, for the past 40 years. (I recently supplemented by going to the local cat cafe several times a week to get my kitty fix!) My family also had a Chow Chow dog growing up as well! As an adult I have had my own kitties that I was solely responsible for since I was 20 years old. I have fostered a litter of kittens and foster failed (and gained the love of my live - my Dinah who lived for 18 years). For kitties, I can expertly handle feedings, watering, administering pills, subcutaneuous fluids, and playing with them and snuggling and loving them as they allow. :) For Dogs, I have pet sit small and mid size to somewhat large dogs, staying with them overnight to snuggle, feed, water, take on walks and play! And cleaning up their messes. :) I am open to stopping by to let your pups out for a bathroom break and feedings and some playtime as well as overnight stays. How can I help keep your puppies and kitties safe, well and loved? For stop-ins, I am available mornings 7 days a week. I am available evenings after 8pm or 9pm (Mon-Thurs), and a bit earlier Fri-Sun. I can do midday stop-ins on Mon, Wed and Thurs, and some Fridays. My schedule varies a bit but I am available most weekends. And as long as I am in town, I can do any overnights needed! Message me to verify! I can care for your animals in your own home! Let me know what they need and I will follow instructions needed for your specific situation.

Emily was an absolute joy to have as a housesitter and honorary member of the family while I was away for a brief trip. She took excellent care of my three fur babies and I appreciate the daily messages in photos. I’m looking forward to my next booking with Emily, which is already on the calendar.

FAQs for House Sitting - Quiet Cove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 742 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Quiet Cove. 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 Quiet Cove 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 Quiet Cove 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 Quiet Cove 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 Quiet Cove. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
