“This is the first time we have used Maddison to house sit with our three Schnauzers. Our furbabies immediately bonded with her when she arrived. She sent us pictures multiple times while we were gone. All three of our pups are on multiple meds including six eyedrops for one dog and six for another. We were very pleased with her and would highly recommend her services. She is also a sweet and smart person that not only I felt but my dogs felt also.”
“Madison was great with our 3 dogs! We have 2 Bullmastiffs and 1 Yorkie. She had to administer medicine to our smaller dog and had no problem doing so. She kept us updated and sent pics. I would definetly use her again.”
“Jeanette was amazing !!! She sent so many photos and videos. She updated me constantly and was so sweet. My puppy loved getting to see her walk into our home every day! I would hire her again any day.”
“Oh Em Gee. This was the first time I had to trust someone I hardly knew to watch my animals in my house and boy did Kimberly deliver! Tons of pictures while I was away and I came home to so many happy wags. Couldn’t ask for more than that!”
“Always amazing going above and beyond. Cleaned up muddy floors from rain and paw prints and broke down more downed branches. Charlie is so excited to see her now and loves the walks.”
About: Growing up with large, high-energy dogs has given me plenty of experience providing the exercise, structure, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. I'm comfortable handling energetic dogs on walks, runs, and play sessions while making sure they stay safe and engaged. I understand that active breeds need both physical activity and attention, and I enjoy keeping up with their energy. i have also cared for senior dogs who require patience and support. Whether it is helping them up and down stairs, carrying them when needed, or adjusting their exercise to match their abilities. I am committed to making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I believe every dog deserves care that is tailored to their individual needs, whether they are energetic puppies or a senior dog who needs a little help. I am active, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands. I am currently a student, so early mornings or afternoons are the best times for me to play with your pups. I am also available all weekend. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. During walks, I pay close attention to each dog's energy level, behavior, and surroundings to ensure they stay safe and have an enjoyable experience. I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise for their age and ability. In a client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I will follow any feeding schedule, medication instructions, or specific care requests. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive care and regular updates so owners have peace of mind while they are away.
“Kirsten was the perfect one to look after our 3 fur babies! She is responsible, respectful and responsive. She kept us updated on how things were going and sending pictures. We will definitely be calling on Kirsten again! Would highly recommend!”

“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”
About: I have grown up with 3 different dogs of very different personalities. Learning how to train them, care for them, and groom them was a large responsibility of mine. When I was around 9, I started caring for neighborhood pets. For several families I have continuously been an overnight caregiver, and for many additional families I have been a regular dog walker. These jobs have given me all kinds of experience with many different kinds of animals. Whether it’s a 150lb of pure muscle machine or an anxious ankle-biter, I strive to love them in the best way possible! My schedule is very flexible and this service brings me so much joy- no matter the time or place! I am passionate about every kind of animal— big or small, rowdy or tame, scaly or fluffy— I want to make sure that they are in the best hands! For this summer, I am only working free-lance/part-time jobs! In the summer and winter I am in Castle Rock, CO, and then during the school year I am in Waco, Texas. For care in a clients home, I will check in as frequently as possible and as often as the client requests. I will spend intentional time being present with the animals and be careful and aware of every need. In my home, the pets will have a gated backyard to play in, a thousand toys, and a kennel available if the clients desire. We have one dog at home who is incredibly friendly, but can also be separated or in a different area if needed.
“McKenzie was great! She took everything in stride with our doggies and went above and beyond in caring for them. They took to her right away. She stayed at our house for several days and left all clean and in order. Will definitely ask her again as the need arises.”
About: I have cared for pets and people for many years. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits & chickens, and I dream of someday having my own homestead. I have years of experience as a care taker for children & the elderly, but if I'm being honest I much prefer the company of pets over people! I've fostered feral cats and rescued runaway dogs. There is something so pure about the love of an animal. I have a daughter (3 years old now) who loves animals so much and gets so excited every time she gets to meet a doggie or kitty, so she truly loves coming along with me for these jobs! My schedule is very flexible at this time: I'm available for daytime visits and overnight care to spend time with and love on your fur-babies! 😻 I have a great deal of respect when visiting others homes. I always take special care to leave it cleaner than I found it and tidy up any messes as needed. A clean home is a happy home! Bedding in the crate needs to be laundered or litter box needs to be cleaned out? No problem! I can also water plants, take in the mail, put trash cans out, pickup packages from the porch, load the dishwasher or whatever may be needed! I want to be of service to you and your pet as much as I can during my time in your home. References available upon request.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Riesel on Rover is $69.38 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Riesel 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 Riesel 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 Riesel 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.
