“Megan stayed at our house and watched our dog and two cats for 16 days. She did an amazing job! not only were our fur babies well taken care of and loved but she also did a wonderful job of watching over the house, bringing in mail and packages and watering plants. I would highly recommend Megan!”

“Jordan watched our fur babies in our home for 11 days. She did an amazing job. The babies were well taken care of as was our home. She returned the home to ready status by doing the bed laundry and leaving no trace. But, the most important was the care and love our wee ones received. I can tell they took to her and were comfortable and at peace while we were away. Knowing that brought great comfort. Thank you Jordan. We really appreciate you.”

“We like Matthew and were very pleased with the care he provided for our 2 dogs and our home while we were traveling out of the country for 3 weeks. Our dogs love him and he was always very understanding of their unique personalities, behaviors & preferences. He provided updates with photos throughout our time away and was very responsive to our messages as we checked in on our dogs, despite the 8 hour time difference between Washington State and the United Kingdom. We would gladly trust him with our dogs & our home again in the future!”

“Hailey was amazing. We were in a bind, 3,000 miles away, when our pet sitter bailed on us. Hailey agreed to come the next day and care for our dog and cat. Such a huge relief and we are very grateful !!!”

“Amy was nothing short of amazing! She took such great care of our home and our pups! We came back to happy tails and a spotless house. She even left us a sweet note, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands while we were away. Highly recommend Amy, we’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Amy!”

“Brandy bonded with our dogs from the start. She asked all the right questions and gave frequent updates about them. We felt very good about having her watch over our pups and home while we were away. Highly recommend her and will definitely use in the future!!”

“Carlynn was an absolute gem and was kind enough to book on short notice after an abrupt and unforeseen cancelation from another Rover sitter. Carlynn did a perfect job of caring for my 17-year-old Coton du Tulear, Cassie. My Cassie is blind and deaf, frail, has kidney disease and also has no teeth anymore after they were removed. But she is still very sweet and Carlynn brought out the best in her, hand-feeding her, keeping her hydrated and treating her like a cherished pet of her own. I'm happy to recommend Carlynn to anyone who wants a kind, gentle, top-notch person. Thanks again Carlynn.”

“Colton house sat and took care of our 2 dogs for 5 days while we were out of state. It was a very last minute booking and he was very flexible and prompt. I was very impressed with how willing he was to make things work and easier for us. He not only showed up on time for our meet and greet but was actually early! We had a change in our departure plans from the night before at 6p.m to instead the morning of at 5 a.m and he without any hesitation was ok with that and was here at the agreed time of 4a.m. We have 1 senior dog that needs medicine nightly and has major anxiety and our other dog who has IBD and allergic to so many things and also has a very strict diet. Even a crumb on the floor would set her into a major flare up if she got it so that was a concern for us. He was definitely very careful because she never once got sick. He clearly eased their anxiety with us being gone because there was no damage done by them in the house. He followed all the instructions/restrictions for them and did a fantastic job. Any questions he had he reached out to us which was great because there were a couple little things that I forgot to mention (like no dogs on the furniture) and he asked us first rather than just assuming. Not only did he take care of our house and dogs he even fed and gave water to the outside cat that has chosen to adopted us. Taking care of a cat wasn't in the booking but he did it anyway out of the goodness of his heart. He was very transparent with us, respectful and the communication was great. I was not exactly looking forward to having to clean the house after getting home from our trip and having 2 dogs that shed like no other. However I didn't have to because the house was COMPLETELY spotless! I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciated that on top of everything else! Colton is so awesome and next time we go on a trip without the dogs he will be the first person we reach out to!”

About: Message me and we can work something out cuz putting pricing on here can be confusing. Hello I'm stephanie I've had many types of pets of all different kinds, my whole life; from taking care of my cats with their litters, as well as "extra-curricular" animals I won't go into, unless you have an exotic pet lol, then definitely write me. I've also done in-home house sitting for cats, dogs, and various others. If you would like to talk to any of my past references, let me know if that would help you feel more comfortable. I've taken care of pregnant cats and dogs, I've also helped them birth there babies. I'm very patient and kind hearted, and I just love animals. I've also volunteered at pet rescues and have hands on training with taking care of sick, elderly, baby, wild cats and kittens. I also offer grooming such as baths and clippings for cats and small dogs. If given a list of things to do and how you want them done, I will be more than happy to fulfill those duties. Message me if you need someone to watch your "little family member" :) I have an open schedule right now and am available. For House sitting I operate from 11am till 930pm. If you just want me to check on them real quick or take them out to potty then drop ins are what you need to select. Message me and we can work out all the details. Also doggy day care I operate 10am to 11pm within that time frame only but as of right now I can only care for them 3 to 4 hours at a time just message me to work it all out I also have had dogs and cats inside when situations, or customers, require it. I can also set up multiple crates if needed or if they are trained for it.
“Paris was an excellent sitter for my puppy, Truffle! She showed genuine care by engaging Truffle with all her favorite toys and maintaining her regular schedule perfectly. What made the experience special was seeing how much Truffle enjoyed her time with Paris, and coming home to a clean and tidy house was an added bonus. I would definitely book with Paris again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”

“Rose was terrific! We were visiting Steamboat and needed a Dogsitter for the evening because we couldn’t leave our dog alone in the place we rented. Rose communicated well with us and was very friendly. And most importantly, Neva was happy staying with her!”

“Kwame was communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures! When we got home, our house was clean with the sheets and towels loaded in the wash and ready to go. We'll definitely be booking with Kwame again.”

About: I have experience working with different types of pets for 10 years. I started providing services when I worked at a veterinary clinic. I have provided services to different dog breeds and cats as well. I also provided services for some reptiles and a quail. I send updates every day and photos, unless otherwise advise not to. I make sure that your pet is treated how I want my pet to be treated. Pets are our family and should be treated as such by the people you entrust them to. Also able to pet sit small critters: guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, chinchillas, and turtles. I have experience with pet sitting and walking. I have walked plenty of different dog breeds, even ones that I require specialized walks. I pet sit in home and my home. I’ve owned pets throughout my life. I lost my own best friend, Chai Tea in 2023 to cancer. He meant the world to me. Now, I pet sit and try my best to make every pet feel loved. I treat my clients pets with the same respect I would treat my pet. I’ve had plenty of clients that appreciated the service I provided and love the photos I would send of their pet. I make sure that your pet is returned the same way you gave them to me. I make sure they’re well fed and bathed. If there are any Issues, I immediately communicate. My stepmom is a veterinarian, so any questions or concerns, I can directly address them to her if I cannot get a hold of the client in time.
“Ana is officially our favorite cat/house sitter! She is so detail oriented that we always feel great before our trips, like she has all of the knowledge she could possibly need while we're gone. Ana has taken such good care of our cats and our home, even attentive to things that we didn't think of. Ana is our go-to now for any trip we take out of town!”


About: We are a loving married couple of 14 years. Animals have been part of our lives for 25 years combined, starting well before we met. Lindsay grew up in a busy household with large dogs and cats, learning early on how to read animal behavior and stay calm under pressure. Zachary brings the same instinct, along with hands-on experience giving medications and caring for elderly pets who need extra patience and a gentle touch. Most recently, we said goodbye to our own dog, Wesley, a Yorkie who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years (yes, named after the hero in The Princess Bride). Caring for him in his senior years, including managing his medications and adjusting routines as his needs changed, gave us hands-on experience with the kind of attentive care that older pets and their owners deserve. We thrive on routine and understand how much pets and homes benefit from consistency. We will follow your schedules and feeding instructions closely. At the same time, we're genuinely flexible and comfortable adapting on short notice, whether that's an early arrival, a sudden schedule change, or a last-minute request. Lindsay is currently home full time and will be able to spend lots of quality time walking & loving on your pets. Zack is also working a hybrid, flexible schedule and will be around to give attention, cuddles and play time. We have a 3 story townhome with a large enclosed patio and a rooftop deck. We have dog gates and a medium sized dog door to allow in and out privileges if desired. We are able to accommodate crates, pets on furniture and pets in bed if that is their preference.
“Adam is amazing! He is extremely reliable and personable with both people and pets. We booked Adam to watch our dog for several days. He responded very quickly to our request, and kept constant communication with us even as we worked out the details of when we would need him to sit. Our dog is not the easiest dog to sit, but Adam took on the challenge with a very positive attitude and the patience of a person who loves all pets at first sight. I recommend Adam for your pet sitting needs. I don't think you will find a better pet sitter in the area. Thanks Adam!”

About: I have taken care of sick dogs puppies and elder dogs doing walks and feeding and just watching and playing and a little training with puppies. I currently am not working so I have a very free flexible schedule for watching dogs and am able to do all they need to be happy and healthy I have a fenced big yard and at others houses i can take/let out dogs whenever needed or when they need to go for a walk
About: I grew up with a black Lab who was a very special part of my family, and I had the joy of caring for him throughout his life and into his old age. Since then, I’ve also enjoyed dog sitting and walking many friends’ dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors, and getting to know each one’s unique personality and needs. I’m a loving, attentive, and responsible caregiver. I love giving dogs the same affection and care they’ve always brought into my life, and I enjoy learning what makes each one happy—whether that’s a favorite walking route, a game they love, extra cuddles, or simply having someone nearby. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your animals and how important it is to feel confident that they’re in good hands. I treat every dog like an individual and want both you and your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re apart. I’m a part-time social work student and do most of my schoolwork remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule. This allows me to be accommodating to different routines and give pets plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pet. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and I follow any instructions their owner provides. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m also careful about doors, gates, food, medications, and anything else that could pose a risk. If your dog stays with me, Green Lake Park is less than a 10-minute walk from my home, which makes it easy to incorporate walks and outdoor time into their routine. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 619 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rowan. 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 Rowan 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 Rowan 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 Rowan 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rowan. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
