“Linda is exceptional! We certainly hope we can work with her again. She takes excellent care of both dogs and was very attentive with giving medication on a schedule throughout the day. The house is in perfect condition. She is personal and interactive. we would give her our highest recommendation!”
“Lauren was fantastic. She went above and beyond in caring for our pup. He has separation anxiety and she did her best with him. She is caring about animals and she gave pup great love and attention. We definitely will be using her in the future. Thank you Lauren.”
About: I have had dogs for 10 years and know what it takes to take care of them the best way possible. I enjoy their presence and am able to share the love. I currently work part time at the university of South Carolina, so I have plenty of time to help out and take care of pets I make sure to monitor my dogs when it is time to take them outside. I make sure to keep them on a schedule and reward them after
“Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. In my younger years I would take some from off the streets, wash them, and wait for my Mom to decide wether or not we could keep them (even though every time I would get a resounding no, God kept me hopeful) I’m a certified animal behavior specialist now and I have 8 years of experience in catering to and loving on pets. I’ve taken care of furbabies with anxiety, some from shelters, and even elderly furbabies along with some who have certain medical needs. I love animals and believe firmly in the saying “ dogs do speak but only to those who will listen”, those who will have the patience to listen I work from home most of the week the beginning of the day so I will have free time to dog sit Wednesday & Friday- Saturday I have a separate condo space underneath my house where it is fully stocked with a bathroom kitchen and bedroom; running AC. I can easily crate your animal if needed and/or they will be comfortable with the bedding you’ve provided
“Sally did an excellent job taking care of my 2 babies for a long weekend. She was in constant contact and sent us lots of pictures. I felt like I could actually relax and have a great weekend with my puppies in her hands. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Sally?❤️”
About: When your pet is with me, they immediately become apart of our family. Playtime is out of this world, Routines are followed and cuddles are a priority until you’re reunited with your fur baby. I’ve cared for dogs, my entire life so loving on them is second nature. **UNAVAILABLE 9/5-9/9** I work from home until 10 PM but work can follow me. Your pet’s care will include frequent visits up to 4 times a day including walks, playtime and feedings I have a fenced in back patio for your pup to soak up the sun. I also live in the first floor and have no other dogs or kiddos so hopefully your pup likes solitude as much as I do.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats. I’m reliable and take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. I can help with dogs (basic routines and leash walking) and I’m patient with senior pets who need a little extra care. I treat every pet like my own I work at a dog grooming place most days, so I’m around animals all the time. I’m off on Sundays and Wednesdays and have more flexibility then, but I can still do pet care after work on other days if that’s needed. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep them safe, clean up after them and spend time with them so they feel comfortable. I also follow any special instructions and send updates to the owner.
About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
“Daniela, was great! We came home to very happy animals! She sent us lots of photos and gave them all the attention they asked for! 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again 😜”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Champ was so well cared for while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. He was fed on schedule, let out regularly, and clearly received lots of love and attention. We really appreciated the updates and knowing he was in such good hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and it’s obvious he was treated like family. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!”
“We love when Morgan can stay with our dog! She is so attentive, caring, and sends lots of updates. She also leaves our home very tidy. Our dog absolutely loves her too. Would recommend without a doubt!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. I currently have fostered two large breed dogs. I also volunteer at the animal shelter. I am fear free certified. I have 3 cats and 1 dog at home. I've taken care of every age group in both cats or dogs (puppy-senior). I currently work full-time at the hospital. I am available in the early mornings or after 5pm during work days. I am off most Wednesdays & weekends. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly dog and 3 cats. Pets have full access to the house and yard at all times. They are allowed to hangout on the couches as well! I have pet sat for multiple people in my life and always make sure to lock up while entering or exiting the house! I understand 100% that you work hard for your home & I strive to keep it the way you left it.
“Chris was amazing!! We were able to leave Remi home and know that he was being taken care of. He was accommodating at the last minute— Definitely a life saver! Will be recommending him to friends and using him for future sittings.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rion
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 606 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rion. 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 Rion 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 Rion 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 Rion 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 Rion. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
