About: I’m patient, reliable, and take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, or senior pups who need a slow, gentle walk ⸻ Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am a morning person and love starting my day with a walk. Taking care of pets gives me a reason to get outside early, enjoy the fresh air, and help dogs get their exercise to start the day off right. I’m a reliable, patient dog lover who enjoys helping dogs get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they deserve while you’re busy. Whether your pup loves long walks, gentle strolls, or a quick potty break, I am here to help keep your dog happy and healthy.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had dogs in my house since I was 10 and have taken care of puppies before as well. I’m currently unemployed and at home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time to devote to taking care of your babies! Any and all types of service I can do, from overnight stays to drop ins and check ups. I have experience taking care of untrained puppies and I can keep up with very energetic dogs. I can walk, feed and play with dogs or give them space as needed. I’m very respectful of animals and their owners’ wishes.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs while growing up since I was 7. I learned how to feed, walk, bathe the pets I had. And learned more things about dogs when I had my dog Oreo in 2020. I'm working part-time at a clinic, as BT which is 3 to 6 hrs depending on days I'm scheduled. I'm doing this as a side gig. I'll guarantee to help and take care of your pets for you. Pet sitting at someone's house I'll be respectful and responsible, making sure your fur babies is in the best care on my watch.
“Tiffany was amazing with my girls! She is sweet, prompt, a great communicator and very easy to work with. I’m glad my dogs got to enjoy her company when I was gone!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was young and have owned and cared for my own pets for over 7 years. Through caring for my pets, as well as those of friends, family, and neighbors, I've gained experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I also volunteered at an SPCA shelter, where I worked with a variety of animals and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I fostered a pup from this shelter for 5 months. I'm physically active and enjoy long walks, outdoor activities, and playtime, so energetic dogs will get plenty of exercise and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while providing owners with regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I currently have open availability and can easily work around your pet's routine. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or a quieter day with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they need. I'm active and enjoy being outdoors, so dogs who love exercise and adventure are always welcome. I also have experience fostering pets! I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I follow each owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and house rules. I take a patient approach with every animal and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, with regular updates and photos throughout their stay.
“Jessica is a great pet sitter. We always feel our pets are safe when she is watching them. We have booked with her a few times and will continue to. She’s great! Definitely recommend!”
“Kaitlyn took great care of our two dog and cat and kept us super informed on what they were all up to while we were away. Made our trip that much more stress-free!”
About: I have been trusted since childhood to watch over my neighbors' pets and have experience with two pit bulls and countless cats. I don't mind giving medicine, as my senior cat took some for years. I work full-time during the week, but am free all weekend to give your furry friend some love. I am generally active, so walks in the morning and evening are not an issue and I can easily integrate them into my daily routine. I can easily crate pets, love to take daily walks, and play for about an hour or two with my own pets, so I do not mind addressing the needs of your pet based on their energy level.
About: I love pets and animals and have lots of experience! I pet sit for all my friends and coworkers as they say I have a special connection with their pets. Animals love me and I love them! Happy to watch young or senior pets, and have experience with exotic pets like reptiles and birds As a teacher, I have all federal holidays off as well as weekends. I’m in town otherwise, so I can dependably check in on animals over weekdays as well. I will always make sure to take good care of your pets in your home, and take care of your home as well! Homes are a special and sacred place and I will always respect your area. It is great to watch them in their own home as this is less stress for your pets!
“Christina was great. Super flexible about times and changing plans, as well as dealing with our dogs. They were very nervous after little interaction with other people due to the pandemic. She was great, problem solved with me, and sent photos and updates. Would hire again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From raising my own dogs—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—to dog sitting for friends and family, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and the love that comes with it. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from leash and potty training to providing comfort and care when a pup wasn’t feeling their best. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, always focused on creating a safe and happy environment where dogs can relax and just be themselves. Animals seem to sense my energy and often gravitate toward me, and I truly believe they know when someone understands them. I’m most centered when I’m around dogs, and I love giving back the same joy and unconditional love they bring into the world. These days, I’m lucky to share my time with a 6-year-old Goldendoodle, a 10-year-old Maltese, two playful goats, and a flock of chickens—each one reminding me how rewarding it is to care for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or an overnight stay, your pet will be treated like my own. I work for myself, from home, and can generally work around your pet's schedule with the exception of Tuesdays from 11:30am-1:30 pm and Wednesdays from 11:30am - 12:30 pm. I'm able to help with potty training your pup, I have experience doing this with my own and know that consistency is key. Just let me know what method you're using!
About: Since I was young, I’ve always had dogs and cats. I grew up as the neighborhood pet sitter and have always adored being around animals. Now, I’m a dog groomer and I spend my free time volunteering for the SPCA and Happy Trails. I’d love to meet your wonderful pets and assist you in taking care of them. I am currently working part time as a dog groomer, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is generally 12p-4p on Tues-Fri and 8a-4p on Saturday. Otherwise, I’m free to pamper your pets! I am very patient and compassionate so I’m very willing to work with pets of all personality types. I love big dogs, shy dogs, and all bully breeds. I’m also calm and considerate for nervous kitties.
About: As a dedicated pet caregiver with experience in a busy pet emergency room, I bring both compassion and expertise to every animal I care for. My background has equipped me to handle various situations with confidence and skill, ensuring that pets receive the highest level of attention and love. I understand the unique needs of each animal and strive to create a safe and nurturing environment. Whether it's a daily walk or providing medical support, I'm committed to keeping your furry friends happy and healthy. I volunteer at local animal shelters during some weekdays and also a full time mom to my four whisker babies. I love to take care of all sorts of animals and pet sitting brings me a lot of happiness! Two of my four cats have special health needs and dietary restrictions so I am very on top of giving the best possible care to my and your animals
“Thanh-Mai is amazing! We were nervous about using Rover for the first time to watch our two dogs, but Thanh-Mai helped make the process reassuring and easy. Prior to the dates we were looking to travel, Thanh-Mai did a meet and greet at our home and helped explain the app and the process, as well as ensuring it was a good fit for all involved. During the actually overnight stay, she showed up on time, sent pictures, videos and updates while always having an open communication with us. We highly recommend Thanh-Mai!”
“Wow! What a relief to have found Victoria! She is kind and sweet, loves animals and was so sweet to mine! I was able to go on a last minute trip with my family and relax knowing they were in good hands!”

I take care of my aunts cat I feed her, play with her and I also clean her litter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Raco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 500 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Raco. 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 Raco 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 Raco 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 Raco 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 Raco. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
