“Logan was great. He moved into our townhouse & took care of our new, young, high-strung rescue pup for 16 days so we could take a trip planned long before adoption was a consideration. We returned to a shipshape house & a healthy, happy dog. Logan stayed in touch during our absence with regular tects & photos. I only hesitate giving Logan the highest marks because I really don’t want to have to compete for his services.”
“Melany pet sat my four animals for me for an overnight. She was easy to communicate with before the sit, took lots of cute pictures during, and left my house very clean. I came home to happy animals all around. Would highly recommend for any of your needs on Rover!”
“Katie is a true “dog person”. She was unfazed by our boxers’ exuberant greetings and quickly developed a rapport with them. Her communication and attention to care is outstanding. Our dogs were very relaxed and happy when we returned.”
“Mariah is our go to dog sitter! She has watched our 2 crazy doodles multiple times now and every time she is so communicative, punctual, and treats the boys like they are her own. The house is always left spotless as well. It’s so nice knowing that we don’t have to worry about the dogs when we are away! Will continue to reach out to her first whenever we need a sitter or someone to check in on them!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Eliana! Every time I leave my dog, Topi, in her care, I know he’s in the best hands possible. Eliana goes above and beyond to make sure Topi is happy, healthy, and loved while I’m away. I always feel at ease knowing she’s taking care of her. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Jasmine is absolutely the BEST choice for pet sitting your high maintenance four-legged friends! She is honest, loving, communicative, responsible, and completely trustworthy. She dealt with several snafus while I was away without blinking an eye. My baby seemed totally content when I returned after six days away and the house was just as put together as when I left. For years I was reluctant to leave my senior dog but Jasmine's competency has given me a whole new level of freedom. Look no further, Jasmine is the petsitter you want and need!”
About: I am the go to pet sitter in my family and group of friends. My husband and I have been unable to get our own pet up to this point due to lease agreements. However, I am meant to have a pet and have lots of care to give! I love to go on long walks and it’s way more fun with a pet friend. I have experience with extremely reactive, large dogs, antisocial cats, and everything in between. I love going on walks and make sure to get out of the house every day! I don’t commute to work which frees up extra time in my day. I make sure to follow the pet parents’ lead and protocol. Our friends often have a well established routine, so I make sure to follow it to not disrupt the animal. However, when possible, I like to spoil a little! That includes longer walks, extra words of praise, and playing with their favorite toys (fetch, tug-o-war, etc).
“Allyson did a great job with 2 dogs and cat :) my smaller dog is particular about who he likes and he warmed up to her right away. She also did a great job with my older girl who takes a few medications and has some incontinence. Thanks, Allyson!”
About: I've been around animals since I was a baby. I have a fondness for the senior pets, they are just the sweetest! I love having playtime and cuddle time and a good walk if you're pet enjoys walks. (My grand cat walks on a leash, so we go on walks all the time). It's a scary time when pet parents are away for both pet and parent and I'll be there to make all of you at ease! I have a very flexible part-time job, so that frees me up to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby most weekdays and weekends, even holidays! I have three indoor feral rescue kitties. It took time and trust on all sides, but all three are now the sweetest cats ever! Every fur baby that has been brought into my house over the years, was either a feral I rescued off the street or adopted from a shelter. Mine are indoor only, except for when I sit on the porch. They get to come outside, but they all stay on the porch and come inside when I do.So lots of toys and enrichment is important for them. They all love to play fetch and chase the laser! Whatever your pet requires or whatever their routine is, I'm there for it. It's all about your pet and putting your mind at ease that they are in the best possible hands!
“Avery was great with our pups! Flexible and great communication. She sent me pictures and kept in touch the whole time we were gone, really putting my mind at ease. We would definitely love to work with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old. I have the most experience working with and training cats of all ages, though I have about 5 years of experience working with dogs. I love all animals like my own and my meticulous care for yours will show that. I have lots of free time and open availability. I’m a full time student but all of my courses are online so pet sitting and dog walking is how I get my fresh air and daily socialization I will take care of your pets and home with great care and courtesy, I am able to follow set and implied directions like following your set feeding schedule, administering medication, facilitating bathroom breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as well as watering plants, setting out trash bins and collecting mail if need be.
About: I grew up with 2 dogs, lab mix and a chihuahua mix. I was especially fond of Rosie( our lab), she was a very loving and sweet pup. I understand how a pet really can become a special part of your life and I know it's important to treat them well. I love having the companionship of a dog in the home and I am very good with dogs even when they are very hyper. I have a patient and loving way with dogs. I'd be happy to play with your dog, take them out for some exercise and give them the attention they need! I'm free if they need to get out in the mornings as you to rush off to work or school!
“Kristin is the best! She took such good care of our puppy while we were out of the country. He also needed medication and handled that with no problems. Highly recommend her and will definitely use Kristin again to watch our dog!”
“Ashlyn did a great job of house sitting and dog sitting for us. She took Esmé to our favorite dog park on both days! I felt comfortable having Ashlyn come take care of our dog and will be glad to hire her again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life im very dependable, i love animals especially dogs but every animal is loved in my book. I love to meet new animals and treat them as they were mines. Im currently only working part time and have plenty of free time to take care of your loving animals, it will be my pleasure to spend time with them. I have a pretty spacious apartment where animals can run around, i love taking them on walks around the neighborhood. There will be toys to play with, they will be fed daily bathed if needed, i also have a crate if they need to be in one.
About: I’m new to Rover but I, like so many others on here love animals! I have 2 dogs, an 8 year old tiny yet mighty Chihuahua and a 3 year old energetic and loving Border Collie. These two crazy boys have helped me learn that no two dogs are the same but a few things that they do have in common is their need for patient, loving, and understanding care takers. Dogs are the main animals that I’ve had the opportunity to care for, from chihuahuas to German shepherds but I’ve also had some clients with fish and turtles that needed boarding as well. I currently work at my administrative job 3 times a week and I’m looking for a fun way to spend my off days! My schedule is very flexible and I’m open to working around your pets routine! Most of my pet-sitting services take place in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible while providing them with plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I also provide regular walks and engaging outdoor activities to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. Every pet is treated as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ratto Landing
Cassie was great! All four of our pets were very well taken care of. She came to our home a few days before she would be staying here to meet our dogs, and she brought treats for not only them but our cats as well! She sent us pictures and video while we were away, and was very timely with her communication. We have an older dog who receives medication and she handled that no problem. We will definitely be using Cassie again, and we highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ratto Landing
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 6,472 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ratto Landing. 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 Ratto Landing 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 Ratto Landing 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 Ratto Landing 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
