“Diana provided housesitting for my pets for about a week & it was great! She checked in with me about concerns & sent photos of my cats & dog. It was a good experience & I would book with Diana again! Thank you! 💕🐾😊”
“Our german shepherd Aggy had such a fun time with Juliann during her house sitting stay! Aggy felt so comfortable with her and it was great to know she was taken such good care of while we we gone for the week. Thank you Juliann!!”
“Renee was great! Very prompt and attentive and took care of our cat Snacks for a few days. He was in excellent hands and we got great photos while we were out and status reports. Definitely will call on Renee again to house sit our furball!”
“Mary is absolutely wonderful! She sent me pictures and updates of my doggo during her house sitting adventures and even went above and beyond and brought her with her to work once. Mary is a clear communicator, easy going, and wonderful to be around. I’d definitely book again!”
“We could not have had a better dog/cat/house sitter while we were out of the country for a week. Claire happily met with me more than once before we departed so that I would feel confident about leaving my sweet boys (and my house) in her care. And I have to tell you, I have never felt better about leaving them! She was very competent, capable, and knowledgeable; she communicated clearly and promptly; and she very clearly understood how much anxiety comes with hiring someone to take care of your pets and your home while you're away. She bonded with my Great Dane and my orange tabby quickly, expressed genuine excitement to spend time with them, and promised to keep me constantly updated. While we were away, she sent lots of pictures and updates, and was always happy to hear from me when I reached out. She handled a couple of weird house events (a rogue alarm and a leaky ceiling) PERFECTLY, and I was so grateful she was there. She even cleaned the house before we came home and did all the laundry and remade every bed. But most importantly, she loved my boys and cared for them like I would have done, and they were happy, healthy, and calm the whole time we were gone. They can't wait to have her back, and neither can we!”
About: My life has been rewarded through a menagerie of animals and detailed care, ranging from dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents. A complete joy to be offered and shared. I can easily dedicate my days for any level of care, ranging from walks, playtime, feedings or long or short overnight stays. Adaptable and flexible. With my watchful and caring eye, your pet will receive a full companionship and bonding treatment from my enthusiastic service. I'm dedicated to all animals.
About: I have so much love and patience for all kinds of animals. I grew up with 8 Saint Bernards. Had birds as well and an Appaloosa horse. I currently live in a home with 4 cats ( one of them is my own baby), 5 birds and a snake. I am comfortable with any type of animal. I am a caregiver through IHSS with Aging and Adult Services. I care for people who need extra help. I am wanting to do farm work as well. Would love to get hands on experience and learn the ways to care for farm animals. Even though I am a caregiver I will make time for your furbaby. What ever it may be I will accommodate your needs. Your baby is and will be in safe hands. I will be caring for them in your home. Whether its a daily check up or overnight. First thing is that I will not let your baby out where they are not allowed to go. I do feeding schedules and also make sure there is time for play and cuddle moments. I also am very comfortable administrating medicine.
“We LOVE Emily. She was super sweet and willing to come meet Miller beforehand and took the time to listen our routines and play with Miller. She was on time and extremely communicative which we appreciated so much. We hope to see Emily again soon!!”
“Layla was very communicative throughout the entire sit, sending me photos so it felt like I had missed nothing at all! She even agreed to come prior to the actual sit to meet the dogs and learn the layout of the house, which made the sit that much easier because the dogs already knew her! Would recommend! :)”
“April was a fantastic dog and cat sitter to our four pets and did a great job looking after our house and resident houseplants when we were away for a week and took in our mail and packages. She gave my dog Lady her heart medication as well. She is also very responsive! I would definitely seek out April again for future trips and would recommend her to others!”
“Katie was amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet before which helped us feel super comfortable leaving our pups. She maintained great communication and sent several updates throughout the day. If available, we would love to have Katie dog sit again :)”
“Don was great with both my dog, Neko, and my Cat, Teri. He sent videos regularly and keep me informed about Neko and especially how Teri were doing. Also, Don went out of his way to care for Teri, my cat. Teri has kidney disease and requires hydration with a saline solution every day. Don was wonderful with Teri by injecting the solution under his skin. This was accomplished by placing a needle under Teri's loose skin and slowly allowing the saline solution to flow under his skin. Don is very personable and I recommend him very highly for caring for your pet.”
“Shayna was excellent with our Doggo!! Looking forward to having her stay in our home again…. Shayna has a lovely and caring personality while being extremely confident and competent with caring for our fur baby!! Thankyou Shayna!! And thankyou for the great photos!!”
About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.

“Donna was absolutely great watching our 3 dogs! She sent so many pictures and updates while we were gone. We never had to worry once about them. Also, came home to a clean house was a bonus! We will definitely use her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 396 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rimrock. 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 Rimrock 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 Rimrock 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 Rimrock 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.
