About: We have always had a family dog, starting with a small dog, rescuing a large dog, and then most recently adopting a puppy. This has provided me with excellent and well rounded pet care skills from training a puppy to elderly care. Although I have not owned a cat, I have taken care of many and absolutely love them. Currently, pet care is the primary goal so I can work my schedule around what clients need. On a more routine day I’d likely be able to check on the pet 2-4 times then the hours of 8-5 then could spend the evening with the animal. I can follow any care routine left by the pet parents! In my own home I would crate dogs for safety at night, but keep them free in my apartment while I’m home. I have plenty of green space in my neighborhood for extensive walks and places to play. I do not have any other pets, so your baby would be my full priority! I also enjoy house sitting, and would be sure to not only tend to your pet but your home. I always leave the place cleaner than I found it, and I have my own transportation so it’s okay if you live further out.

“Allison is a terrific person to take care of a house and pets. Good communication, willing to bend as needed. She pet-sat during the single month when my long-haired dog sheds constantly. We have to be vigilant with cleaning the house to keep up with it. She left the house super clean. I felt like a real adult was taking my place. She's not the type who will accept a job, then change her mind and leave you stranded. She's responsible, a person who could manage any situation as well as could be expected, and is up for what comes her way. Allison kept up with our flight arrivals and offered to stay an extra night if we experienced cancelations. She visited first and I showed her the routine which is just so helpful. All good!”

“Kaity was such a great companion for Kiki and Lenny. She was responsive to messages, came for a meet and greet and the arranged time, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely book her the next time we are out of town!!”

About: I have always loved animals and have had pets throughout my life. I have cared for my own dogs, as well as pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I had a Basset Hound who was part of my family for 10 years, and I also have a Golden Retriever who has been with my family since she was a puppy. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while their family is away. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including puppies and larger dogs, and I am also happy to care for cats. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any other specific care. I will also keep you updated during my visits or stay so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Briar did an excellent job bonding with my shy spaniel Lita, and what’s more, she managed to help Lita feel safe and entertained with outings and car rides. I’ll certainly rely on her services the next time I have to go out of town.”

“Helena was absolutely AMAZING!!! This was our first time using Rover and the first time we left our dog overnight. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the time we were gone, showing just how relaxed and happy our dog was in her care. When he whined about sleeping in his crate, she kindly let him share the bed with her (with our approval, of course!). He even seemed disappointed when we came home 😉. We cannot recommend Helena more highly!!”

“Jasmine was fantastic! She was so communicative and attentive to our pup. She followed our routine as requested and cared for Yoshi like he was her own - we will definitely be reaching out again for future needs!”


“Linda went over and beyond for our pups and us during our get away. We felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her! She was also willing to water our garden and feed our hermit crabs. The house was clean and dogs were happy when we returned! Thank you, Linda!! We hope that you will come back and stay at a later time! Sincerely, Elan and Angela (Oli and Loui)”

“Caitlynn took great care of our two pups while we were away! My one senior dog needed some special attention and meds while we were gone. Caitlynn followed all my instructions and both pups seemed happy when we returned. Her communication was prompt and she included pictures. Can’t thank her enough for staying with our sweet pups!”

About: I love sending photos and updates to owners. It helps them relax knowing their pets are safe and happy. We have had a lot of animals growing up. I'm no stranger to spoon feeding elderly dogs and following strict diets. I love going on walks even if it takes a while to get a few hundred feet. I just moved back to VA to be closer to my family. I'm a word of mouth carpenter so my schedule is very flexible. Sometimes I don't work for two weeks, but I can always make time for pet sitting. I'm here for you! Whether its separation anxiety, diet, exercise, or tug of war, i am here to make sure your needs and your pets needs are met. I can send updates and photos daily to ensure your pets are having the best time while your away.
About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and cats and when I was eight years old, I started riding horses. I’ve loved animals in my entire life and work at a shelter. My mom also did pet sitting through Rover and I have helped with my whole life too. I am currently working two part-time jobs and I am in school, but I only work weekends and 440 7:55 AM on Tuesday and Thursdays and only go to school 9 to 4 a couple times a week so I will have tons of time with your fur babies! I have worked with dogs and cats my whole life and am I very trustworthy honest person. I have handled tons of different types of animals and I know how to do most things that would be needed. I’m good at following instructions and sending tons of pictures because I grew up helping my mom with her dog business!
“Riley took excellent care of my 3 senior dogs, all 3 on meds, including 1 that is diabetic and needed blood glucose monitoring and insulin shots. I was thrilled to find someone with experience with diabetes. Thanks Riley!”
“Sierra was very sweet and sent photos of my 2 pups every day to let me know how they were doing. She was patient and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter 😊”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a GSP, Weimaraner, St. Bernard, and a couple labs. I have been dog sitting/house sitting a GSP for the same family for 6 years. I have two GWPs and I am used to high energy breeds. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to help - just let me know your needs! I work full-time, but I do work from home some days. My schedule is flexible and I usually come home at lunch to let my own dog out when I have to go into the office. I am a dog lover and I let mine on my furniture to snuggle. I play with Stark outside often and really take him everywhere that I can. He goes with me to the farmers market, the coffee shop, and other places. When I have dog sat in the past, I’ve always taken the dog I’m watching along as well!
About: I’ve always loved animals and typically they seem to love me too. I had a golden retriever growing up in Liberia that I loved and took care of before coming here. I’ve always watched my friends pets for them. Sometimes I even take them to the vet when they can’t. I have a dog and cat of my own that are absolutely spoiled rotten and the sweetest things alive. I currently work full time during the week. However I’m available for evening pet care after work and weekends. Sundays and Mondays are my full days off and I am available all day during those days for whatever your pet needs. I currently have a dog at home that generally goes out every two to three hours. We live in a neighborhood with huge fields. If they are leash trained, generally they can roam free along with my dog.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in structured, multi-dog environments, including high-energy and working breeds. I currently manage a multi-dog household and am actively involved in dog sports and conformation, which has given me a strong understanding of routine, behavior, conditioning, and proper handling. I am comfortable working with: • High-energy and active breeds • Puppies needing structure and consistency • Senior and special needs dogs • Multi-dog households • Dogs requiring medication My care style focuses on structure, safety, and clear communication. Dogs in my care receive consistent routines, appropriate exercise, and calm, confident handling—not just supervision. I am best suited for clients who value reliable, knowledgeable care and want their dogs maintained in a structured environment while they are away. Pet care is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care to ensure they receive timely walks, feeding, exercise, and attention. I maintain reliable availability for bookings while ensuring each dog receives focused, individualized care and a consistent routine. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication in every home I enter. I follow each dogs routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and exercise needs. Dogs are always handled securely on leash unless otherwise specified, and I am attentive to environment, behavior, and stress signals. My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent, and safe environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosespout
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,190 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rosespout. 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 Rosespout 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 Rosespout 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 Rosespout 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.
