“Mickale went above and beyond watching my dogs. She updated me every day with pictures and was great about communicating any questions or concerns. My house was spotless when I got home! I’m so glad I chose her to trust with my babies! 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Brittany was great to work with! She is very responsive. She worked through a dog that’s slow to be friendly and took great care of the house.”
“Melissa was great! She stayed with our girls for about a week. She sent us plenty of great pictures and updates! Very fast to respond to any messages as well! She took great care of the house & brought in a package as well. She also offered to take care of our fish! Thanks so much!”

“Paige was fantastic with my dog and new pup! She took great care of them and gave them both lots of love and care! Would 10/10 recommend her to house sit anytime! She was great with the boys and made sure the new pup went out in a timely manner each time he ate! Will definitely be booing her again to dog sit!”

“Brianna was amazing with my puppy and cat!! My puppy was always well behaved when left alone but while I was traveling she discovered a love of cardboard and Brianna was able to get to her quickly and make sure she couldn’t eat anymore of it. Brianna was also able to bond quickly with both of them, who are normally very shy and she was even able to take my puppy out for short walks (she’s normally very scared on walks). And the house was just as I left it! 10/10 would totally recommend!”

“We have used Martha a couple of times and we are always happy with how she takes care of our pups and our home. She stays in contact with us several times a day. Sends pictures of our pups. I would highly recommend Martha.”

“Lidia was absolutely a rockstar with Dex! She was so attentive to him and sent me detailed updates so that I knew my little guy was living his best life. 10 out of 10 recommend Lidia!”

“Jaymes is the best! I am grateful for the peace of mind when I’m away because I know my fur babies are so well taken care of. He always goes above and beyond.”

About: I've had dogs and cat my entire life and loved every single one. I am experienced, loving, firm, and capable. I consider your pets as members of your family who deserve love, care, and structure when you must be away. I currently have a German Shepherd dog, Gustav,d that is my service dog and I trained him with licensed SD trainers. I also have a Belgian Malinois rescue, Mata Hari, who is beginning SD training as well. My cat, Spider Monkey, is a Manx and she rules our house. You can completely trust me to take care of all your pets and their needs when you need help. I currently work as a server/bartender some days and evenings. I will structure my schedule to spend as much time with your pets as possible. I can care for select dogs in my home using a crate for indoor safety, when needed, and keeping them leashed when outdoors. I have two dogs that love playing with other dogs.
“Arlinda was a pleasure. She took excellent care of Coco in our home and we struck up interesting and fun conversations before and after she was finished doggie sitting. Coco was calm and playful with Arlinda, and we will gladly use her again. We highly recommend her.”

About: For the past couple of years, friends and co-workers have trusted me with they're homes AND pets! My number one priority in sitting is to make sure that the owner is 100% worry free! If your pet has very strict eating, walking, or potty hours, I am very flexible with keeping to those schedules. If there are specific instructions for care, I learn them fast. If I am over-night pet-sitting, but the owner did not ask me to clean the house, I have always cleaned up anyway just to insure that they are satisfied when they come to their home! If you need me, I'm here to help YOU. I have a job as a company dance member at New Ballet Ensemble and I am in college studying Psychology at University of Memphis.

“Amy is the best! We had a great feeling about Amy at our meet & greet and we booked her almost immediately to take care of our pups for a week. She was very thorough before her stay in learning about our dogs as well as our home. She sent daily updates and pics so we were never worried or concerned. Our house looked exactly the same when we returned. She even changed our sheets for us which was an unexpected surprise! We will use Amy again and again!!!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since I was a toddler. I currently have three cats of my own who definitely run the house, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and quirky behaviors. I also regularly help care for my mom’s dog, Petey, so I stay very familiar with day to day dog care like walks, feeding, attention, and reading different dog personalities. In the past, I’ve also had dogs of my own, including a beloved senior dog who lived to an old age. Caring for her taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding the needs of older pets. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities. From friendly and playful to shy or more “spicy.” I’m calm, patient, and always take the time to let pets warm up at their own pace. I also have experience administering medications, including ear washes and oral medications, so I’m comfortable helping with basic care routines if needed. For dogs, I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping their routine consistent. For cats, I understand the importance of trust, space, and gentle, low-stress care. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ As a stay at home mom of one child, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week, into the weekend. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine since I already manage a household and care for pets of my own. I’m organized, dependable, and make sure each visit is given my full attention and care. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I respect all instructions carefully and make sure pets stay in their normal environment with as little stress as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines as requested. I take my time to be sure pets feel comfortable with me, especially shy or anxious pets, and I never rush interactions. I also keep a close eye on doors, gates, and safety concerns to ensure pets remain secure at all times. My goal is to provide reliable, calm care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I ‘m exceptionally careful and sensitive to your pup’s personality and temperament. I will Aid in any fun times that you don’t have time to give them. So when you’re home from work they are tired just like you and really for a cuddling sleep next to you! Anything else you need like special instructions or guidance, I will be happy to oblige. I love getting to know different puppies and dogs so that I can learn more about the different breeds. I fully plan to start my own business in about five years and it will be dedicated to dogs cats and other small caged animals. I truly believe that your pets are family and that they deserve the very best care. I will Provide that!
About: I'm an early bird so morning walks are always in; Sir Connor (Rest In Dog Paradise ) he was a shih tzu mixed. He was not neutered, because I wanted grand fur babies at the time. I have fostered over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats. Daisy May was an extra addition to the family while I was fostering a puppy I called Maxwell; Maxwell has been adopted by a caring couple! Daisy May is currently the only dog I have so far. Sitting Schedule: Breakfast is at 10:30. I'm reading on how to train dogs and so treats would be ideal for play time! Dinner is severed at 7:30 I feed twice a day. If I have your dog on the weekend, they get to go on a field trip to Overton Park or Mud Island Dog Park. They also get enrichment time with pet toys and snacks! I also groom on the weekend. I mostly had dogs as pets; I rescued a cat and named him Jeffery and he was adopted by a loving family. If you have more questions feel free to ask me! Thank You! I’m currently working part-time as a caregiver; I’m available after 12:00pm during the week; My weekends are flexible. I’ll be working full time once the school year starts! Daisy May is crate trained; I also have a foster puppy who has his own crate too. I have a doggie gate if separation is needed. My yards are not fenced; I stay on a slow traffic street.

About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student with hands on animal care experience and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can fully trust, so I focus on providing attentive, dependable care while making sure your pet feels safe and loved! Whether its walks, playtimes, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while creating a fun, calm, and caring experience for their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and is something I prioritize and plan around. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends depending on the day. I’m able to accommodate regular visits, drop-ins, walks, and feeding schedules, and I make sure to build my commitments around each pet’s needs. I’m reliable with timing and communication, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are being checked on and cared for as planned. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any specific behavioral needs or preferences each pet has. I make sure doors are secured, litter boxes are clean, water is fresh, and the space is kept tidy and comfortable. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and giving them gentle attention and reassurance. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping everything clean and leaving things exactly as I found them. My goal is always to ensure both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while I’m there.
“Magnolia did a stay to take care of our cat & dog for just over a week. We came home to two happy and healthy furry children. This was our first time using a service rather than a recommendation for a sitter from a friend and Magnolia quickly put us at ease when she came over to meet everyone before the stay. She's very nice, responsive and I could see they & the house would be in capable hands. We'd definitely reach out to her again.”

About: The reason for dog owner will love me because when I was like 2 yrs i had dog who’s love to go to the park and run and I love how I can care an love for dogs. And I am while experienced with dogs,and Flexible Especially when your work schedule is subject to change. Iam patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected or the pet doesn’t feel scared or anxiety. Look for someone who handles your pet affectionately and never uses physical punishment or force.

I have a very friendly fur baby who is trained exceptionally well, and since I prioritize her health by feeding her organic meals and healthy snacks, I am also fully prepared to crate one of your dogs if you have two pets that do not get along, ensuring that everyone receives the safe, individual attention they deserve.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Raines
I cannot recommend booking with Mickale enough!!! My sweet cat just recently went through a tail amputation procedure and Mickale took excellent care of her while I was gone. While I was away, my cat’s tail wounds reopened and she had to be taken to the emergency animal center to get them stitched back up. Not only did Mickale pick my cat up from the emergency center early in the morning and drop her off all the way across town at a pet boarding hospital, but she was incredible at communicating with me about what was happening throughout the entire time she was caring for my cat and she went so above and beyond with caring for my sweet kitty. Please book Mickale for any pet sitting needs you might have, she is absolutely amazing!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Raines
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Raines on Rover is $32.19 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 477 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Raines. 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 Raines 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 Raines 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 Raines 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 Raines. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
