“Anne was terrific; friendly, conscientious, caring. She is an experienced dog sitter, thus she is knowledgeable in what to do. She communicated very well throughout her stay.”
“Mica took wonderful care of our 5 cats and dog, and of our house while we were out of town. We got lots of pictures and multiple updates which helped us have more fun in our travels knowing the pets and house were well cared for. We’d love to have Mica back again!”
“Having Evelyn watch our dog was a great decision and one we’ll repeat in the future for sure. We were feeling guilty about leaving our nervous dude for almost two weeks but Evelyn put our minds at eases. She came over beforehand, met Otto and took lots of notes. Evelyn took care of our house (even keeping garden veggies alive in summer) and our dog and you should too. Great communication too! Thanks Evelyn!”

“Danielle was awesome with our GSD and two cats. She was very professional and I felt completely comfortable with her. She was great at providing updates and keeping us informed and at following their feeding/medicine schedules. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
“Norah is personable and reliable, and took good care of our home and two dogs for six days. When our husky mix turned down dinner and Norah observed her eating grass, she was right on top of things, immediately texting to ask if we had medication for an upset stomach (which we do). Norah was good-natured and patient with our doodle mix, who is young and rambunctious. She walked them both a couple of times each day, as we asked her to. We would definitely hire Norah again!”
“Kia was fantastic! She was patient and flexible with us making changes in the time. She was very responsive and timely. Most importantly, she was very sweet with our dog Bella. We will definitely rebook with Kia when we are back in the area.”
“As usual, Allison was amazing with our pups. She went above and beyond looking after our girls and our house while we were away for two weeks. She is the absolute best!”
About: As someone who’s been around dogs & cats (& more!) since I was born, I’ve loved pets for as long as I’ve been around! Whether it’s taking care of my own pets, or someone else’s furry friends, I have a lot of experience when it comes to both dogs and cats. I’m a responsible, experienced, & caring individual, & I’ve never met a dog or cat I didn’t like. Even better still, almost every dog and cat that’s met me has liked me! Whether it’s a rambunctious dog with lots of energy, or a relaxed cat who likes to nap, I can accommodate any type of pet. I’ve taken care of my energetic dogs when they were younger, & continued the care into their senior years. I’ve also taken care of multiple other dogs of all different ages (from puppies to wise, old dogs). When it comes to cats, the same applies. Kittens, senior kitties, and everything in between have been a big part of my life. If you have any questions, or would like to talk more about having me take care of your furry companion, don’t hesitate to reach out! I have flexibility when it comes to being available for your pet! Whether it’s a daily walk or an occasional drop-in, I love making time for some pet time. When coming into your home, I do my best to make sure your dog or cat is comfortable and at ease. Drop-in visits are all about making sure your pet is feeling comforted & attended to, even if that means just giving them their space! Walks include the same things as they mean more to your pet than just exercise & a potty break!
“Kristle was amazing!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to watch our Coco Bella! Kristle was loving and caring! She was so good to Coco! She took her out on walks, played with her, and made sure she was well taken care of. She sent us pictures everyday and was quick to respond! I am so happy we met Kristle and we will be in contact with her for future needs! I highly recommend her services! Thank you Kristle and family! Coco loved you guys!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 8 years now. In high school, I started by helping out my family, family friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve built a trusted and reliable network of families I regularly work with. Whether it’s a quick check in or a weekend stay with the dog, I ensure I am around to feed, play with, and let out the dog! I am currently working a part time job so I will have time to walk and or play with your dog. The weekends and weekdays in the afternoon work best for me. While you are away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will follow the routines you have set in place and plenty of playtime! I will send updates and photos so you know your dog is in good hands!
About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!
About: I have two dogs and two cats of my own! I have also watched friends and family dogs! I would love to come play with you’re fur babies! I am a stay at home mom, so I’m always available to care for your animals. Please just reach out to me and I’ll book you’re service Our pets at home live and stay inside our house, we let them out quite often to use the potty or go fetch. I also have two cats I let outside while I monitor them!
“Holli and Susan were absolutely fantastic! They were new to sitting for us, but I never worried a bit for the two weeks we were out of the country. They were very communicative, followed all of our detailed processes and instructions, and were good to our kitties (one of whom is notorious for disliking strangers). We didn’t have any issues!”
About: I have a Shih-Tzu and 2 cats currently. But grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I have experience with exotic animals too (marine animals mostly) and am currently a full-time animal trainer & a part-time vet assistant. I have a flexible schedule & reliable transportation and would love to help you and your family. I am available for long walks or a drop in visit.

Thank you so much, I hope to hear from you soon! I work with animals all day, every day. Please just message me to see if your schedule will work with mine. Thank you so much! I will make sure to be careful coming and going and that the leash is secure at all times. I stay very alert to my surroundings, especially on walks. I take care of animals all day at work & then come home & care for mine & would love to help bring you piece of mind while you're away. I make sure that the pet(s) are safe and secure and follow all of the instructions left for me carefully. I make sure that your pet always have what they need.
“I had an amazing experience with Eva! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs. Not only did she make sure they were active, happy, and well cared for, but she also took the time to pick up special medication and food, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that made it clear my pups were in great hands. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like their own. I came home to two happy, healthy pups, and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Eva and will absolutely be booking with her again!”

Anne took excellent care of my elderly dog who requires multiple medications and a lot of attention. At the same time she cared for my grumpy cat and was a wonderful custodian of my home. I would have her house sit and care for my pets again without hesitation. Plus she’s a really pleasant person!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,407 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rosston. 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 Rosston 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 Rosston 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 Rosston 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.
