About: I’ve 4 dogs since I was 8 years old. I always take care and play with them and feeds/watering them and walking around with them. I love dogs so much!! I will have a time to play and take cares of your pets. I will be available Sunday to Saturday. I’m very flexible with scheduling. I’ll makes sure your pets are safe and I’ll prefer at your house more safely. I’ll take care and protect your pets from other things thats are dangerous. But your pets are still welcome to staying at mine.
About: I grew up with dogs. I loved them like they were part of the family. I haven't had any dogs in a few years but my aunts and cousins have dogs and I've stayed with them. "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself!" Josh Billings This would be my primary job. I'm available almost every day to take care of your fur babies. Anything you need, I'm your girl. Just let me know. I would like to add, I don't do well with more than 2 dogs. Just a personal preference. Sorry for any inconvenience. I can follow any instructions you have for me. If you have a fenced in backyard, I can keep an eye on them. If they need exercise, I can take them for a walk. If they are a senior dog and get tired on the walk, I will sit with them until they're ready to go home. Anything they need, I can take care of it.
About: Spending time with your animals is a joy for me, I take pride in working to establish a trusting relationship with them. Our property is fully fenced with squirrels and birds to chase, galore! I work from home so the animals get plenty of attention and outside breaks throughout the day. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, responsive and respectful.. that's me! Over the last 35 years I've owned all kinds of animals and dog breeds of all ages and sizes; anxious rescue dogs, puppies, senior dogs, epileptic, diabetic dogs, & i've even gained experience walking dogs at shelters. I've always loved to include my dogs hiking, camping and to the beach. We've bred and birthed 2 litters of the worlds cutest dachshunds! Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. I start each day tending to the animals about 7am; waters refilled, potty breaks etc.. I make sure we spend time playing outside several times throughout the day. I work from home so they get plenty of attention. Usually I work in a long indoor nap in the height of the days heat. Rover dogs always have their own room (or guest house if you prefer/require) to sleep in at our house, we won't crate them unless they aren't able to roam-free safely, or if you request it. I do not allow rover dogs upstairs, or in our bedroom at night. Safety & the well being of the animals is always the most important! Introductions to my dogs will be made at the owners request, & animals comfort level. We have a fully fenced yard with a minimum of 4ft high chain link. There is also a fully fenced 10x10x6' kennel if you have a dog that can REALLY jump, they would still be able to spend time in the yard off-leash. There are separately fence portions of my yard if you prefer your animal be kept separate for any reason. If you need help with pick up, drop off, or bathing just say so! If you wonder about leaving your dog here just message me with any questions or come see the space. I know the anxiety of trusting someone with your best bud and I aim to help relieve that. Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. Please let me know if your dog requires medication, special attention, is scared of storms.. etc. Please let me know if you DO NOT want your dogs to play with ours for whatever reason it will not hurt my feelings. We have some chickens (in a run), and there are horses on the property next to ours FYI, they are very used to dogs. We are on a dead end so there is little traffic and no kids living here. If you prefer I can even accommodate housing your animal completely separately, in our very peaceful guest apartment, that has worked well for some special need babies.
About: I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, from energetic puppies that need extra playtime to older dogs that prefer slow walks and sticking to a routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up accidents, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust instead of forcing interactions. Whether your pet loves to play fetch, go on long walks, or just relax with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and give updates while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school, and I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet always receives reliable, attentive care. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, and any house rules. I take time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their body language, and keep a calm, clean environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 72 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rose City. 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 Rose City 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 Rose City 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rose City 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
