“Katie is an exceptional pet sitter. We would 100 % recommend her. She asked good questions and listened well, taking the absolute best care of our dog Maeve. Kind hearted and knowledgeable, I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust any animal to her care. Well done Katie!”
“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!”
About: I’ve spent several years caring for pets as part of my work as a nanny and personal assistant, so I’m very used to routines, communication, and handling animals with patience. I’ve cared for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Dobermans, as well as small dogs, seniors, and puppies. What sets me apart is that I’m calm, dependable, and observant, I notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy right away. I’m comfortable with crate routines, structured walks, feeding schedules, basic commands, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’ve also handled senior-dog needs like slow walks, medication reminders, and gentle mobility support. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pup is happy and safe. Whether your dog needs long walks, quiet company, playtime, or extra patience, I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I’m home the majority of the day. When I’m house-sitting, your dog gets consistent company, supervision, and attention, I’m not someone who will be in and out all day. If I ever need to step out for a quick errand or class requirement, I always communicate ahead of time. I believe in being respectful of your home and completely transparent about my schedule, so you’ll always know what to expect. Because my program is online, I’m able to structure my study time around your pet’s needs: walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and potty breaks. This setup lets me provide calm, consistent care while keeping your dog’s routine as stable and stress-free as possible. When I care for pets in your home, I keep everything calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your dog’s routine exactly: feeding schedule, walk times, crate rules, and any house guidelines you prefer. I’m especially careful with doors, gates, and outdoor time, and I handle strong or high-energy dogs confidently. I keep your home tidy, pick up after pets right away, and treat your space with respect. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel secure in their familiar environment and give you complete peace of mind.
“Dorothy was great with our rambunctious puppy! She followed safety precautions due to COVID. We got the cutest pictures throughout the day of Cora. Dorothy was respectful and took great care of Cora and our house. I would definitely recommend Dorothy!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, through every stage of their lives. Growing up with dogs, they have always been like family to me. I’ve had experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats and have also worked at a doggy daycare / boarding center. Spending time with furry friends never feels like work to me. I am fortunate to live at home where I know my own dog is always cared for when I am away, so I can confidently care for yours too! I always enjoy being able to go for walks and make visits during the day in between managing my other responsibilities. As a student, I typically have more availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am happy to visit and walk with your pups during the day, providing them each the individual care that they deserve. I am open to doing group walks as well, depending on your pet’s preferences. I am also able to pet sit, where I can care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own home!
About: I’ve cared and loved many animals my whole life. My family and I really enjoy being able to help other’s care for their fur babies making sure they’re very much happy! :) I have experienced with seniors dogs as well in needing medication and mobility help. I do Rover full time and have a very flexible schedule. I have a 8 year old who loves animals just as much as me. I have a fence yard and back yard as well. I ensure that my house is very clean before and after caring for any animal.
“Melany pet sat my four animals for me for an overnight. She was easy to communicate with before the sit, took lots of cute pictures during, and left my house very clean. I came home to happy animals all around. Would highly recommend for any of your needs on Rover!”
“We love Eliana! She was amazing. My fur babies loved her. She took care of our 2 dogs, 2 chinchillas, and 2 tortoises. We went to Kauai for 8days and received lots of photos and videos. Highly recommend!!”
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.
“Aileen was great! She took good care of my VERY shy little dog as well as taking care of the house. She was reliable, punctual and communicative. I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
“Mariah was great! She sent pics everyday and truly gave our dog the love she needed. We felt comforted knowing Mariah was at the house while we were away. We would absolutely have her back!”
“Ashlyn did a great job of house sitting and dog sitting for us. She took Esmé to our favorite dog park on both days! I felt comfortable having Ashlyn come take care of our dog and will be glad to hire her again.”
“Rod was fantastic and I will be using him again for my pet sitting needs. He provided photos and checked in daily. Lastly, he did a wonderful job with clearly communicating any questions before hand.”
“Giselle did a great job taking care of Rosie and Gracie! She sent pupdates and photos on a regular basis and she asked questions when she needed to be sure of something. The dogs seemed calm and well cared for when I arrived back home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocktram
Here’s a polished version that keeps your warm, genuine tone: Channing was quick to respond to my initial request and came over to meet the fur babies before our trip. I immediately felt comfortable having her stay at our home and care for our pets for two nights. She sent regular photos and updates on all five animals, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we got home, the house was spotless and our pets were happy and well cared for. I would definitely hire Channing again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy house and pet sitter.
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! 💫
Lauren is the sweetest. My dog loves her. She stayed the weekend at my house, and was prompt, communicative, sent photo updates each morning, and left the house spotless. My dog and cat seemed relaxed and happy when I returned which tells me they got plenty of love and attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 5,698 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 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.
