“Fiona took wonderful care of our home and senior dog. She made sure to provide daily updates with pictures and left our house immaculate. I would recommend her to anyone needing pet services and plan on using her services moving forward.”
“We loved having Vivian around. She came to our place while me and my husband were traveling and took really good care of our dogs. She texted us everyday and let us know how everything was going. She also left the house tidy and everything in order. We’ll definitely contact her to stay here again on our next trip. Thanks Vivian”
“Anita took excellent care of my dog Malcolm. He loved her instantly, and throughout the week she sent lovely updates and photos... So much so that I started to believe that Malcolm was enjoying his vacation more than I was :) I would definitely ask her to care for him again.”
“Allison was absolutely fantastic with our two girls! She provided great updates, lots of pictures, and our dogs seemed like they didn’t miss us at all when we got home. She left our house cleaner than she found it. As someone who can experience some anxiety when I leave our dogs with a new person, Allison is someone who made me feel instantly at ease. I didn’t worry at all when I was gone. Thanks so much, Allison! I’ll definitely be rebooking.”
“Sophia was amazing with my 2 dogs. She not only watched them at my home she took them to the dog park. She is very good with dogs. She is also very responsible and responsive. She sent us video of the dogs and let us know how they were doing. I highly recommend hiring her.”
“We are so lucky to have met Kaja! She’s taken excellent care of our giant pups (an energetic rottie and a pittie) both times she’s stayed with them. Kaja is experienced caring for all kinds of dogs and was clearly confident and comfortable with our dogs reactivity (they’re loves but not great with other dogs). She is an excellent communicator and has a calming, patient, grounding presence that put all of us (humans and dogs!) at ease as soon as we met. She sent us thoughtful pictures and updates while we were away and missing our dogs and took great care of our home as well. We would recommend her to anyone and will reach out again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Liliana (and Gerardo) were great. Very responsive and very responsible and always a pleasure. They took great care of our dog in a challenging situation. And they took great care of our home, as well. Highly recommended.”
“This was our first experience with Rover, and we are very pleased with Patti. She loves kitties, which became clear when they met her. Patti is caring, responsible, prompt, attentive and knowledgeable regarding caring for pets while away. She bonded quickly with our oldest cat Ada who cuddled with her at night and maintained the distance between Ada and the other two young kitties Jack and Maya as requested. She paid attention to the instructions we left for her to follow, and helped us feel confident in our selection, especially with photos. We are totally pleased with Patti and the wonderful care she provided. We look forward to the opportunity to use her services in the future.”

“Tiffany communicated and send pictures. She took good care to follow routine and provided walks. Our pup connected with Tiffany right away and it was clear she was well cared for. We will definitely ask Tiffany to care again when schedules align.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. Growing up my mom worked in a pet store and I use to help her out after school. I have had dog in my home my whole live from little puppies to older pups. I love to nestly up on a couch and knitt with a furry friend by my side. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of free time for fun pet care. I really enjoying the flexible work schedule and getting to spend my time with animals. While in the client's home I will spend time with the family pet, playing , cuddles and proving care. If I have my primary job that day I will let the animal do their business in the morning, make sure they have food and water. I will return in the afternoon for play time and to support their need.
“We had another great experience with Hong -- who cared for our 2 dogs while we were away for a week. She is so thoughtful about recognizing their signals, taking them out on walks, feeding them on a regular schedule, it is all terrific. What's more, she sends regular communications so you know exactly what is going on. Hong is a true dog lover and you see it in her care and appreciation of each dog's personality. Thank you, Hong!”
“Our dogs were well and happy when we returned from our trip. Gabby was very friendly and most importantly she was very responsive! She replied in a timely manner to our inquiries and even bought dog food when we ran out. I would definitely recommend her as a house/ dog sitter.”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
“Once again Tania was absolutely amazing. We have a very spoiled, special needs cat and Tania always follows all of our instructions and requests with a smile. We also have a lot of plants that need attention - during a heat wave while we were gone she ensured everything was watered and still green when we returned. We can go on vacation and truly relax knowing our fur baby and our home is in good hands.”

Mandisa was amazing with our 3 pups, from meeting them on their own different energy levels during the meet n greet, to making them as comfy and chill as possible in our absence. She handled meds no problem and sent us plenty of updates. Can't recommend Mandisa enough :)
Suzy was such a blessing. She came on short notice and took excellent care of our dogs. One of them experienced a health issue while we were gone and Suzy helped us navigate the issue keeping us updated and reassured and helped to resolve the issue. I didn’t worry because Suzy was taking such good care. She gave lots of updates and sent little videos and pictures. We are very grateful.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rodeo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,883 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rodeo. 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 Rodeo 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 Rodeo 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 Rodeo 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.

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.
