About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!

About: I’ve grown up with plenty of animals. Between Golden Retrievers to pugs and chihuahuas, I’ve been around plenty of canines. I also have had several cats in my life. I’m currently attending community college without a job and as such am free most days of the week except Monday and Wednesday when I am stuck on campus all day. My yard is fenced however because I live at home with my parents currently, I will be unable to bring home any furry friends unless it’s an absolute emergency.

About: I have lots of experience caring for cats and dogs! I grew up with 5 dogs and 3 cats and worked at our social animal shelter for a few years so I’ve seen it all! Hangin out with dogs and cats is the highlight of my day. I have a special affinity for pitties and bully breeds, but I have a lot of experience with all breeds since working at the shelter. I currently a part-time job where I am usually working early mornings until the afternoons. I almost never work past 2pm. I am looking to switch to pet sitting and dog walking full-time while I am in online school so hoping to build up some clientele! I am super flexible with anything as well. :) Currently, I am working mornings part-time. I am either off by 12 or 2 in the afternoon. I am a full-time online student so I am looking to move to pet sitting and walking full-time and do more long term bookings! I can give your animal a lot of attention and play with them for however long they want! I am totally open to any kinds of schedules or specific needs you have for your fur babies. I will always make sure they have a full, clean water dish and plenty of food.

About: I volunteered at Haven Humane Society in Redding for three years, where I gained a lot of experience caring for both cats and dogs. While I was there, I helped clean and sanitize their areas, walked dogs, and spent time socializing with the cats. In my personal life, I have a kitty who is my pride and joy! He does well with other animals and has definitely made my love for animals even stronger. I also had a dog who recently passed away. I had her since she was a puppy and helped train and care for her throughout her life, so I’m very familiar with the puppy world and all the patience and attention that comes with it! I’ve always loved animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets. I would treat every pet I care for like they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Butte College, so my schedule gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your furry friends! I usually have classes in the mornings, so most afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work with you and your pet’s normal routine! I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I’ll make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe space in my home, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I do have a cat of my own who does well with other animals, so I will always make sure everyone is introduced safely and is comfortable around each other. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your dog is secure on their leash and follow any instructions you have for their walks. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates while your pet is with me because I know how nice it is to know your furry friend is safe and being taken care of!

About: I’m a dedicated Vet Tech student with strong animal care skills, offering patient puppy support, gentle senior care, and personalized attention to keep every pet safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available after 2:15 PM on weekdays (and after 5 PM on Mondays). I can only board overnight on weekends, which allows me to give pets my full attention and keep their routines consistent. I live in an apartment with a secure, supervised patio and plenty of space for any crate size. I also take dogs to the on-site dog park for safe exercise and play.

“Lauren was phenomenal. She came twice prior to the house sitting to meet my dog so he would be familiar with her. She was in consistent contact during the duration of my trip just to let me know how my fur babies were doing. If she left the apartment she would let me know when she left and when she returned. I greatly appreciated the photos throughout the trip as well. Highly recommend her services and will book again when needed!”

About: 1. Animal Science student pursuing veterinary school with hands on experience caring for dogs, cats and livestock 2. Future veterinarian providing knowledgeable, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet 3. Experienced animal care giver with a strong background in animal health, behavior, and handling 4. Your pet receives attentive, personalized care from someone passionate about animal health and welfare 5. Trusted care backed by years of animal experience and veterinary education Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I care for my cat every day by feeding him, cleaning his litter box, playing with him, and making sure he gets plenty of attention and enrichment. I also grew up caring for a variety of animals on my family’s ranch, so tending to animals has always been a normal part of my life. My part-time work schedule gives me flexibility to check on pets before and after work, and I am committed to following each pet’s routine as closely as possible. I understand that consistency is important for animals, and I make it a priority to ensure they receive the care, exercise, companionship, and attention they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and daily interaction based on their personality and comfort level. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being and communicate updates with owners so they can have peace of mind. In addition to caring for the pets, I respect and care for the client’s home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as they left it.

About: I’ve owned a dog nearly my whole life, 3 dogs in total. One poodle when I was younger, a shorkie, and a pitbull husky mix I found on the side of the road. I also have around 3-4 years experience in volunteering at animal shelters, doing doggy day outs, summer dog walking and fostering. I care for my dog each day, he’s become apart of me. Everyday I wake up, take him outside so he can run round and relieve himself. Then I fill his food and water bowl, at least 3 times a day to make sure he gets the right nutrition. I take him on walks and play with him alot, he’s love fighting my hand it’s so cute. I treat every pet like my family, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’ll stick as close as I can to their normal routine such as meal, walks, playtime and any special care so their environment feels consistent and safe. In my home your pet will get a calm space with lots of attention and affection. In your home I will respect your space while keeping your pets routine exactly how they’re used it. I will also send videos a pictures throughout the day so you can feel at ease.

“Cassy was amazing! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear how experienced and caring she is with animals. While I was away, Cassy kept me completely at ease with updates, photos, and prompt communication. My dogs (Ellie, Theo, Delano) instantly warmed up to her and they were treated like royalty. She was also willing and able to accommodate the medical needs of one of my dogs, applying eyedrops several times a day as is needed in their care routine. Needless to say, I came home to happy, relaxed pets! I cannot recommend Cassy enough and I will definitely be booking them again in the future!”

“A 10 star review! Tyler stayed in contact during our trip and everything was excellent. Our active Lab got plenty of play and run time, complete with photos and quick notes. Arrived home to a pre cleaned house including bedding, towels and dishes. We’ve booked him for next two trips already.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rotavele

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 251 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rotavele. 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 Rotavele 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 Rotavele 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 Rotavele 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 83% 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.
