Was my first time ever using rover and Tara was an absolute gem! Gave me daily updates about my boy and let me know some concerns she had. She even remembered I gave him pancakes on Saturday mornings and brought him some. Could not ask for a better dog sitter, absolutely went above and beyond! I think my Zeus was disappointed when she didn’t come through the door. Will definitely rebook her in the future.

Ashlyn took great care of our babies while we were on vacation! She kept me updated on everything & sent lots of pictures which we loved. It made us feel so much more at ease knowing our dogs were getting plenty of attention while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again!

It was so nice to have Meena take care of our elderly dog while we were gone. She checked in everyday at least twice and has been excellent in keeping us updated with photos:)

Emily took good care of our boy Winston. She walked him and played fetch with him, and he really had a good time. She also kept him safe and comforted him during a scary thunderstorm. Emily communicated promptly, which made scheduling much easier. She kept us updated with photos during our trip as well! I would definitely recommend Emily and would book her to sit again with Winston!

About: My sister and I fostered all types of dogs and cats through the Greater Birmingham Humane Society since 2020. Since I have moved to Calera, I now assist locally with CHILTON County TNR. As of now, I take care of a dog and cat, which were both rescues. Im currently working Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and do remote work Tuesdays and Fridays! I also have availability for weekends, just ask me about specific times! I have a big fenced in backyard with some big trees that allow some good shade. There is also a back porch with an awesome fan because we all get hot in this Alabama heat. I have 2 friendly dogs that can help your dog get some energy out or they can be separated by crates which I can provide, depending on your preference.

About: After farm sitting for a week with five dogs, one kitten and one goat, I think I can handle just about any situation or personality! I work in Montevallo during the day Monday through Friday 8:00 am until 4:00 pm but I can assist early mornings, evenings and overnight as well. I am glad to walk your pups in your neighborhood, or ride over to your neighborhood dog park. I'm glad to play catch or cuddle and follow your pup's established routine. I am flexible and conscientious.

About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week! Each week is the exact same shifts so it makes to easy on me and the owner! When can I visit?… (please remember I can be flexible and visit before or after shifts if communicated with!) Monday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:30pm-10:30pm Tuesday: 8:00am-10:00pm Wednesday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:00pm-10:00pm Thursday: after 4:00pm-8:00pm Friday: after 1:00pm-8:00pm Saturday: after 1:00pm-10:00pm Sunday: from 11:00am-6:00pm Please know your pets care and safety are my utmost responsibility. I understand the need for communication, specific instructions, and genuine care for your animal. I know that if I left my pet in someone else’s care, I would want the utmost respect, patience, gentle-hands, and skills to be applied. And I am more than happy to give that same experience to your baby! I love all types of animals and each personality is different and beautiful. This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you! Just communicate what you need me to do and consider it done!

Miranda was so good with our babies. She made sure everyone was well taken care of and kept in contact with me while I was away, sending me pics and videos throughout my trip to keep me updated. All the animals were comfortable with her and I can tell she is an animal person. We will definitely book her again!

About: Ive taken care of animals since I was a child, I volunteer at pet shelters and have training as a vet tech from a vet clinic. I am a mama bear when it comes to all animals, they are treated with respect and love. I am a receptionist and mother of 2 boys, and my husband works from home as an accountant. Your dog or cat will be in great hands, I will walk them and take potty breaks. When I am away at work or the store they will be separated from other animals and given toys and water until I get home. I keep an eye on them with a baby monitor. My husband works from home and will also be helping me take care of the fur babies. When we are home they will be out and monitored and loved on. They sleep in crates at night on occasion or in our bed. They get healthy treats and tons of toys. They have a fenced yard to play and run in.

I am a first-time puppy owner and had to travel out of town unexpectedly for a funeral. I was understandably nervous and hesitant to leave Georgie since he's so young, but I know that keeping his environment consistent is extremely important right now. Then I found Annie on Rover.com. Annie was an absolute godsend who put me at ease immediately. She was extremely responsive and even sent me the most adorable pictures of my sweet boy. I am so appreciative of the stellar care that she provided and we hope to have her come and visit again soon! 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you, Annie!

Sarah was so great with our pups!! She made sure they were taken care of and happy, and most importantly she loved on them while we were gone! I was never nervous while she was watching them because I knew they were in great hands (and I’m an anxious pet owner who has never let anyone but family and friends watch our dogs). I would book her again and I would recommend her to all of my friends and family who have pets. Thank you so much, Sarah, for taking such amazing care of our fur babies while we were gone!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Roberta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 518 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roberta. 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 Roberta 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 Roberta 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 Roberta 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 Roberta. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
