Almost forgot to leave a review! Kristi was great when she stayed at our house to watch Sydney for almost a week. As always, she took great care and attention while taking care of our pup and left the house in tip top shape! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Kristi is perfect!

I have a very, VERY anxious dog that gets nervous around new people very easily. From theoment she walked into the house for a meet and greet, Misty did everything she could to make Freyja (my dog) comfortable with a new person. I know this worked because Freyja eventually let Misty take her out for a whole walk around the neighborhood. A privilege very few people ever get.

About: I’ve had all type of pets from sugar Glider’s dogs ferrets fish for over 10 years I love all kind of animals yours to . Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because I enjoy building my schedule around giving animals the attention and care they deserve. I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits throughout the day for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make reliability a priority. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s spending time playing with an energetic kitten, keeping a senior cat comfortable, or simply providing quiet companionship for a shy cat, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. We have a high privacy fence with big back yard where they will play with our dogs and play ball tug-of-war and other fun games

We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.

Meriwether, Louisville, KY, 40217

About: I’ve always been known to have a dog by my side. They were my family and they came first. I cared for them through every stage of life - some adopted as puppies and others rescued in old age. I've trained puppies and administered medications. After loving and losing many dogs, I made a thoughtful decision not to adopt again. Now I devote my time, experience, and full-hearted attention to the daily care of other people’s dogs as I've always done for my own. My goal is to host one dog a day, maybe 2...(if the first parents agree and they enjoy each others' company). I am only available to house-sit (in your home) in special circumstances and if/when I have no daily doggies who require my attention. Advanced notice is required. I operate as a fully insured limited liability company and provide care in a calm, secure, and attentive home environment. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives my full focus, patience, and respect. My yard is fenced and I have no pets or children living here — just quiet space for your dog. I offer a "day camp," not a kennel. Dogs enjoy a fenced front porch and back yard with full furniture privileges. Dog TV and "Calming Music for Dogs" via Alexa are available throughout the stay.

Highest recommendation! Penny represents the utmost in professional care for your pets. We had the great fortune of using her in-home pet sitting while away on vacation. From the get-go, Penny set herself apart with highly responsive communication and respectful punctuality. She was immediately at ease with our pets, and provided numerous daily update photos so we knew everything was going well while we were away. Going further, she patiently provided the extra care our senior dog needs in terms of daily medication and food preparation. Penny is everything a great pet sitter should be!

About: What sets me apart is my attentive, detail-oriented approach and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I provide consistent walks, playtime, enrichment, companionship, and attentive supervision throughout the day. I can easily follow each pet’s established routine, including meals, medications, rest periods, exercise needs, and special instructions.

About: I've owned a dog and a cat over the years. I mostly dog sit for my younger sister when she has to attend a 3-day out-of-town conference. I also help my eldest niece with her 2 cats. I work Fri-Sun for my daytime position. I had been looking for a part-time job during the weekdays and came across Rover. I COMPLETELY forgot about this app, I used it when I was in college. This would be the best job option for me because I've missed having a companion of my own. My nieces 2 cats are very playful and forthcoming so its easy to lose time playing with them. We're looking to get an exercise wheel for Pumbaa, he's gettn heavy in the midsection lol. I help trim nails, change drinking water fountain filter and give meds as needed.

About: Hello! My name is Adrianna and I’m so excited to meet your fur babies! I have 3 dogs of my own: a German shepherd, a husky mix and a golden doodle. I love animals of all types and have experience with special needs dogs, administering medication, and walking reactive dogs. My parents have 4 dogs as well that I routinely care for. I understand how comforting it is to know your pets are in good hands and I would love to be able to be that person for you! I typically work evenings, therefore daytime walks and visits are ideal for me and ensure I have lots of time to spend with your babies. I am happy to provide leashes and poop bags in case they are ever forgotten and i will ensure owners receive updates about their pets regularly.

About: I grew up around pets my whole life, and I love spending time with animals. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while they’re with me. Boarding dogs stay in my home and have access to a securely fenced yard to run around and play. I also have a nearby park for walks. Pet care is my full-time job, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. Boarding dogs get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods of time. I make sure every pet in my care feels safe and comfortable, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. Boarding dogs have access to a securely fenced yard, and I also have a nearby park for walks.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 720 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rosewood. 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 Rosewood 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 Rosewood 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 Rosewood 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rosewood. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% can help with daily exercise

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.
