“Lisa was able to accommodate us on very short notice and took wonderful care of our pups. We could tell during the meet and greet that she truly loves dogs. She was able to be patient and gentle with Harmony who is nervous about getting her harness on. They were totally calm when we returned, we would recommended Lisa and use her services again!”

About: Hi! I’m Rachelle, thank you for checking out my profile. I’ve been dog sitting, walking, and boarding for a few years now. I enjoy meeting new breeds and making sure their needs are taken care of while their parents (you) are away. As dog mom of 3 loving and rambunctious breeds I can personally say your pup will feel right at home ❤️ I have five dogs of my own therefore I make sure that their needs are taken care of before mine are. With as much play time as I can give. First thing first I let the dogs out to play and go use the potty. Then I give them food if it’s time to eat. And of course we go out to play after.

About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!
“Sydney took great care of our high anxiety pup for us on very short notice. She is personable and her love of dogs shows. We will use her services again for any future trips, where we just can’t take our high spirited crazy man with us.”

“Hannah took wonderful care of my chihuahua and cat! My chihuahua is very particular about people and he absolutely adores her! She is my go to sitter. Thank you for making my fur babies feel loved and at home while we were away. 😊”


“What can I say... I had a sitter for a couple weeks+ lined up and 2 days before she had to cancel. So i was in a panic and I threw out a message to handful of sitters last second. Amberly messaged quick and was ready and willing. She was a savior, she came and my dog loved her instantly. She sent pictures of them all happy, asked questions and even cleaned after herself. I highly recommend Amberly she is a animals best friend and a very sweet person, and next year she will be rebooked on spot if I get the chance. Again thank you for the last second fill in you are truly a rockstar.....”

“Raven is great. I appreciated that she made a special trip to our house to meet our pup before the scheduled "sitter" day. She asked questions and made sure she understood the routine we follow. Raven is respectful of our house and property. She took our pup on several walks and made sure he had his play time in the house and then cleaned up all the toys. We will definitely use Raven again.”

About: I have a dog and three cats, I do school online and have a very open schedule. I grew up with animals and babysit frequently. I’ve watched rabbits to horses and everything in between. I am currently in school and have a very open schedule. I am able to come and stop by or watch overnight. I am very reliable and have my own transportation. I have fostered a wonderful environment for my pets at home. My dogs fully trained on and off leash. He has excellent recall and trust with me. My cats are all free range in the house and we have gates put in place so they can have their own space. While watching others pets I am very proactive and careful of where I bring them and watch them carefully.
“Nathan was fabulous! He was very calming when meeting the dogs for the first time, and he did everything we asked just perfectly. We will definitely call him again!”

About: Your pet deserves the best with dedication, training and companionship. I have worked with the SanTan Animal rescue, the Little Traverse Bay Humane society and friends and family and clients over the years; walking while training and helping with adoptions. I am using my experience and education to give the best to your pet. I'm a modified traditional and clicker trainer. I will be working with your pet as well as you if you're interested in learning my methods. I strive to go the extra mile every visit with you and your pet. During my training I will leave my tips and tricks for you. I'm the trainer and instructor you've been looking for because of the burning passion I have to impact the dog owning community. FIRST AID TRAINING: By hiring me you and rest assured that you will have top care for your pet, with knowledgeable experience and education for first aid and quick and concise treatment to any injury/attack that could happen. Being prepared with spare leashes and first aid on my walks reassure I am prepared for anything to happen and handle it quickly. I’m not afraid of defending and advocating for your pet in the case of emergency. Training on the walk: I specialize in loose leash training and look forward to improving every walk with teaching manners and getting all the good sniffs they can get (sometimes treats too!) everyone wants that walk where it’s theraputic with their pet, and maybe they want their children to learn to walk their dog(s) I love teaching the whole family and bring my pup along the way to assist in non reactivity and help other dogs. Reactivity can be hard to handle, with my group walk methods we all learn to walk with confidence when we understand how to handle the situation, and apply new skills. If you have any questions I’d love to help! Give me a text if you need: Crate training, potty training, loose leash training, behavioral therapy and more! Every dog deserves to have full attention. Basic obedience is carefully implemented with every single interaction with every single dog. I have 3 big boys (dogs) who love coming along to help other dogs learn. I respect every dog and every owner and their needs. I strive for symbiotic relationships with our pets. Meeting each others needs and enjoying the companionship that dogs bring to us humans. I am a vet tech student and commit my life to helping all animals and learning what I can do to help. Every visit is catered to training and maintaining good manners. My ultimate goal is to bring skills equivalent to a "Good Citizen" level of training even if we don't get much time I work to set steady foundations for success. Walks will not just be an easy breezy (chaotic) pull me around or softly walk through the neighborhood. We work on getting the dog tired and stimulated for maximum happiness of your pet. Dogs love figuring out challenges that help their comprehension of training grow and enhance the relationship between pet and handler. Making mundane tasks a game will fully engage your pet for maximum happiness. Seeing your dog improve on skills bring my heart so much joy sometimes I could just scream with excitement. Drop ins are for one on one training with you, your pet(s) and I. Walking and doing house exercises to stimulate their brain and exhaust their energy in productive ways, all the while teaching you and answering any training questions you have. I'll always leave tips tricks and techniques I to share so that you feel more educated and confident in building your relationship with your pet to its full potential. In my home I train all day every day as I do my own dogs. Keeping their gears turning and growing their trust in me is highest of priority. My home is sectioned off into 3 parts in the case some dogs may not get along and need to be desensitized and adjust/learn the manners of my (the) home. Aiming to take training to a comfortable but challenging level to expand that skill range. I always keep reflective gear and dog first aid kits on me while working with your pet. SAFETY FIRST! If you have more questions let me know. I hope to see you booking with me in your future 🩷

“Megan was so amazing! She was able to watch our senior dog and she was so well taken care of! We felt comfortable with her navigating our unique senior dogs needs and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our doggy. We also felt really comfortable with Megan in our space and I’m pretty sure she left our house better than she found it, it was so clean and tidy. We are grateful we found Megan!”

“We couldn’t ask for anyone better than Kaylee! She takes the absolute best care of our dog and cat while we are away that we never have an ounce of worry. Our animals love her, and she is extremely reliable and great with communication. We cannot recommend Kaylee enough, we wish we could give her 10 stars. Thank you!!”


“Alyssa was an absolute godsend to our bubbles. Shortly before our international trip we had a house fire in which bubbles got trapped in the house and spend some time in pet hospital for smoke inhalation. Needless to say, she was extremely traumatized. Alyssa spent 10 days with her and we came home to a calm, happy cat. The effort she put in was beyond any expectation. She is a cat whisperer! We cannot even begin to express our gratitude to this amazing lady! Thank you so so much!!!”

“Sandy was amazing. She took great care of my house and pets. Sandy is reliable with great communication and cared abou my pets so much! I would highly recommend her. Thank you Sandy!”

About: Ive always been willing to take on family, friends, and neighbors pets. Whether that be just going over to let them out to go potty and play or staying over. I have also had them come to my home at times. I currently work Monday-Wednesdays so I have wednesday night-sunday to hang out with your fur babies. I’m generally home but I do leave the house often. Generally not long periods of time as I have my own fur babies. I have a fenced yard and we also do walks/go to parks. We have one dog, she is extremely sweet despite her size and she absolutely loves other dogs. She’s scared of cats so she avoids our cat and they just do their own thing. Our dog is crated when we are not home, so if needed your baby can be crated as well.
“Felix was such an attentive and caring sitter that I’m so lucky to have had the pleasure to be with my cats during a short stay!! My girls were so well-cared for and it was evident as soon as I got home ? Thank you so much, Felix!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Right now I am not currently working. I am available anytime to take care of your loved ones. I am just a request away when you need it. I have a friendly dog for play dates. I do not have a fenced yard but I do live near a park with plenty of running room.

FAQs for House Sitting - Royal
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 606 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Royal. 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 Royal 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 Royal 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 Royal 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.
