“Makayla was absolutely amazing! We truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for the care she gave our home and our fur babies. We were incredibly nervous about having someone stay in our home and care for our pets because we had only ever trusted family to watch them. From the very beginning, Makayla put us completely at ease. Before we even booked, she came over to meet us and our fur babies, and they immediately loved her! Even our very shy kitten came right up to her, which told us everything we needed to know. Makayla stayed in our home for two weeks and was absolutely wonderful. She sent us daily updates, photos, and little glimpses of how everyone was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, the house was immaculate, and our fur babies were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It was obvious that Makayla treated our home and pets as if they were her own. We would recommend Makayla without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, caring, and wonderful with animals. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will definitely be asking her to watch our fur babies again!”
“Julia was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs, and it was obvious they enjoyed all the love, attention, and playtime they got with her. She was very responsive to messages and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. She also took wonderful care of our home and watered our plants. We would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Jennifer did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. We could go to our daughter's wedding, which was out of town, and we didn't have to worry at all. Jennifer sent pictures and also communicated with me about the dogs. Jennifer was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. Highly recommend Jennifer. I definitely will request Jennifer again to come and watch our dogs. Thanks again.”

About: I live in the country so can go for long walks, swim in pond . . Will be treated as part of the family and spoiled rotten. currently work during the week, so weekends are my main focus for pet care. However, I am also open to weekday bookings if you’re comfortable with your furry friend being home alone for up to 6 hours during the day. When I’m home, they will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care! I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and right at home. I have plenty of open space for your dog to enjoy, along with access to beautiful walking trails through the woods, around the pond, and along a quiet country road. Please note that my yard is not fenced in, so dogs will need to be secured on a tie-out when outside near the house. Your dog’s safety is my priority, and they will never be left outside unattended. I will always be outside with them. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels right at home!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Run
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocky Run. 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 Rocky Run 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 Rocky Run 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 Rocky Run 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.
