“Had no worries while we were on our vacation. Jessie sent us pictures and updates along the way, and it was so nice to come back knowing our house and our puppers had been taken care of. Thank you Jessie!”
“Dorothy was amazing! She took such good care of our new puppy. Our puppy is still house training and Dorothy was very attentive and helped support her learning. She was also a great houseguest- leaving the place spotless. I’ll definitely be calling her again.”
About: I’ve been a proud dog owner my entire life. I have experience with all types of dogs (big to small, puppies to seniors). All have their unique challenges and I am more than happy to meet your pet’s specific needs. I am a recently retired from my previous career, which means I have even more time to spend with your pup. I am available most days to meet both you and your dog’s schedule. I know every dog has very unique needs to make them feel safe and trust others. I prefer to arrange a quick meet and greet if possible before scheduled services to make sure your dog is comfortable when I come to visit.
“Gina is awesome! She watched our dogs and house while we were away on a new years trip, and we couldn’t have been happier with choosing her from the Rover app. Updates, communication, and peace of mind were all on point. Coming home to two very happy dogs, and a nicely taken care of house was the best way to end our 5 days away. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Fiona did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was away. I really appreciated all of the photos she sent of the pups having a good time. I would recommend her to anyone who has high energy dogs that need to get that energy out!”
About: I would always take care of my aunts dog as a child and later on in more recent years! I would always take him on walks and play with him! I currently work part-time! I have time on weekdays from 6-sunset (might change in future)! And on most weekends, I'm available at anytime as needed! I have a fenced yard big enough to play in! My neighborhood is very safe and fairly quiet, so no true taking on walks around! Also with a park within a 5 minute walking distance to play at!
“Viridiana was great with our fur babies. She was in constant communication with us through out the weekend. She walked the Enzo and Diesel in the morning and evening and supervised our indoor cat outside for some outdoor sunbathing. She also sent us pictures daily. Very nice and sweet. ?”

I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable following feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care instructions. I’ll treat your dog with care and respect, keep you updated, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day.

“Maria was absolutely great! She is super fast with communication and accommodating with schedules. She sent daily photos of my dog, which made me feel so happy my dog was with someone so attentive and caring! I will definitely use her again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Highly recommend Angela! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and immediately made our anxious dog feel comfortable and safe. She took him on multiple walks and sent regular photo updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Angela is a fantastic sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age. Ever since my family came together with our first Chihuahua, Gito, my parents imbued me with strong morals of care and respect for animals. I take primary care of our golden, chihuahua, and shitzu. Every dog is unique, and my care style with pets is individual to every pet I meet. Dialogue with me will always begin with discussing the unique needs and personality of your pet. While at home, pet care requires feeding the dogs, taking them on walk, and care for our Chihuahua, as he is getting older and has arthritis and impacted by urinary incontinence. Everyone’s situation is different; I’m comfortable in new environments and respecting personal boundaries. I have experience working different family friends and acquaintances in their homes for extended pet sitting stays, always a pleasure. Reach out to me if you’d like to connect more about my approach.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, including my own. I've had 2 huskies in the past and now have a black lab. I love spending time with animals. I make sure that dogs get all the loving that they need. I’m available pretty much any time of the day because I work from home. I will walk your dog or care for your dog at home. If you need me to I can keep you updated on how things are going to insure that you are completely happy. I will even send you endless pictures if you'd like! I currently work from home and am able to stay overnight whenever needed and can check up on your dog anytime of the day. I'm even happy to sit with them while I take a meeting! My dog is an indoor and outdoor dog. He enjoys playing in the yard and going for walks. I usually sit on the patio with him while I work if the weather is nice. At night he goes into a crate. I will make sure that your pet gets the attention that it needs.
About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience.

About: I am a Napa native and I work in downtown at a civil engineering firm. I have had animals around my whole life and will always love all pets like they are my own. I have experience house sitting for dogs, cats, lizards, and ducks/chickens. This includes walking, feeding special diets, housing needs, and administering medications. I look forward to meeting some new friends! I work Monday through Friday 8-5 with an hour lunch which allows me to do mid day check ins. I prefer house and pet sitting when taking care of animals which allows me to work around my work schedule and provide your animals with the attention that they require. Being able to take care of animals in their own home is important to me because it offers them a sense of comfort especially when someone new is around. I aim to keep up with normal house hold routines so your animals doesn’t get too stressed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocktram
Channing was wonderful with my three pets, Brie, Reggie, and Penny! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, responsive, and communicative. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout my trip, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also took amazing care of my home! I came back to an immaculate apartment. She washed the bedding and towels, put away the dishes, and honestly left my place even cleaner than I had left it. I really appreciated how thoughtful and respectful she was of my space. There was a small hiccup on the first day when an unexpected maintenance visit led to my dog, Brie, slipping out the front door and startling the maintenance worker with her big presence. Thankfully, everyone was okay! It was just one of those unpredictable situations and a good learning experience for me, too. I would have appreciated hearing about it a little sooner, but I completely understand that unexpected things happen, especially with pets! Overall, Channing was kind, attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond in caring for my pets and home. I would absolutely book her again and truly appreciate everything she did for my little crew! ❤️
Jessie was an amazing sitter for my 2 yorkies. We needed a last minute sitter while in town, so we could attend a friend's birthday party. She was on time, thr pups loved her. She sent updates and pictures while we were out. I would use her again!!! Absolutely great. Thanks jessie
Olivia was fantastic! She was patient with our boys and they became fast friends! We felt confident and comfortable leaving for our honeymoon with our boys in her care. She was communicative and sent pictures/updates daily. House was clean, bedding was washed and bed was made upon our return! We’ve never left our boys with anyone but family before but are so happy to have found someone not only we are comfortable with but our boys as well. Will absolutely try to book with Olivia again the next time we need someone to watch our boys! 💫

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocktram
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,802 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocktram. 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 Rocktram 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 Rocktram 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 Rocktram 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
