“This was a last minute arrangement on our part, so we were a bit nervous, as we did not get a chance to meet Kelly before allowing her in our house to care for our dogs. She was great! She let us know as soon as she arrived, sent us pics and videos several times in just two days. The dogs were very happy and so were we. We would certainly invite her back in the future.”
About: My dog passed and I miss her company! So I love having visitors to keep me company and play with while working from home :) Work from home, I'm free to walk the dogs first thing the the morning, around noon and anytime in the evening and spend the whole day with them if needed :) Quiet home, no children, no smoking, no other dogs or cats - just fish n two birds, half way fenced Yard, but very safe. We can walk around the neighborhood, there is a park down the street as well and the back yard.
About: I've had animals the majority of my life. I currently have 4 dogs in my home; 3 Great Danes (ages 4, 4 & 2) and a bully/Doberman mix plus I have a few chickens outside. I can handle everything from puppy all the way to senior. I own my own business and work from home so I have alot of flexibility as far as being able to care for your babies whether in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard for them to run as they please. Our pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, it's their home too!
“Took excellent care of all of our fur babies while we were on vacation! Very communicative and sent regular updates/photos of how everyone was doing. Thank you S for the wonderful care!!! 💓”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals & have experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even chickens! Taking care of pets was part of my responsibilities growing up, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, & making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Although I don’t currently have pets of my own because of my work & school schedule, I love spending time with & caring for my family & friends’ pets. I also have experience staying overnight to care for dogs through a family connection. I’m responsible, attentive, & will treat your pets like they’re part of the family. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to get my serotonin dose from all the cuteness of animals while doing something I enjoy! I’m currently in nursing school, which gives me flexibility outside of my class & clinical schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, & overnight stays depending on the day. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure their pet’s normal routine fits with my schedule. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet & your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine & any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, crates, litter boxes, or other care needs. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, & gets plenty of attention while you’re away, & I’m happy to provide any photo & text updates as needed for peace of mind.
“Brigid was excellent!! She cared for my dog like he was her own. She gave him his meds on time and kept communicating with me while she was caring for him by sendings pics everyday! I would hire her again!! Thanks Brigid for taking care of my boy with love and caring for his needs!!”
“Susan stayed at our house for 10 days to take care of our dog. She sent us pictures and updates every day. when she left my dog was crying. I was so comfortable going away knowing that I did not have to worry about my dog being taken care of. He was treated very well and he was loved. I give Susan a 10+star rating. I will definitely use her on our next trip. She treated my house like it was her own and my house was in the same condition as when I left it it was clean and orderly. Thank you Susan for all that you did for Willie.”
“Heather was great! Communication and pictures of Duchess were very much appreciated! I came home to a clean house and it was perfect as I got home later than normal and could just relax and head to bed. I will definitely use Heather again!”
“Jaime and Kasey were great! It was our first time using Rover, and we had a great experience. Our dog Frank was spoiled and our house was cleaner when we returned than how we left it! Not only did Jaime send updates with pictures of Frank every day, she also helped out by meeting an appliance repair person at our house and watered our flowers several times! Thank you Jaime!”
“Christie was very professional. She did a meet and greet with our babies a month in advance. We ended up adopting a stray and she didn't hesitate to watch over our pups. She left the house the way she found it and sent updates throughout her visit. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I've been around pets for the last 15ish years with that I've learned that not all dogs are the same and will react the same way towards everyone. I have worked with dogs who were previously in shelters, nervous dogs, fearful dogs, and anxious dogs. I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs. I have potty trained my own dogs and have helped friends potty train as well. I'm comfortable with bathing, brushing, feeding, walking, and interacting with dogs. I have worked with special needs dogs and am comfortable changing their diapers, applying creams and ointments, and applying wraps or bandages if needed. I'm comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and brushing cats. I've also taken care of small reptiles like bearded dragons and geckos, as well as birds like cockatiels and parakeets. I just moved to the area and have flexible availability. I am available for drop ins and walks throughout the day. No time is too early or too late. I'm open to last minute drop ins or walks as long as it is communicated. I'm great at sticking to your pets eating schedule as well as establishing routines if needed. I'm able to clean up after your pet, feed them, interact with them, and stimulate their brain as well.
About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.
About: I’ve had several dogs and cats and have sat for friends and family in the past. I have also rescued and cared for cats and dogs. I work remotely so I have a very open and flexible schedule to accommodate any time needs. I’m usually available for last minute openings or funky times. I’m willing to follow any rules and of course put your dogs needs first. I try to stay up to date online with “crunchy” dog parents.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rhodesdale. 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 Rhodesdale 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 Rhodesdale 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 Rhodesdale 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.

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.
