“She is punctual and responsive to all messages. Tiffany is very personal, professional and patient with our dogs. She allowed my older dog to relax and chill out while at the same time, she played with my very energetic and playful puppy.”

“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”

“Chris took great care of Maggie and my house. Chris sent us lots of pictures and comments about Maggie. We will definitely have Chris back when we need another dog and house sitter. I'm really happy the experience was good for my dog by not leaving her in a kennel.”

About: Hello! I worked as a Lead Veterinary Receptionist and assistant for a specialty neurology clinic for three years. During that time I've learned so much about animal care and how to make pet-owners feel safe and secure. I’ve also had dogs, cats, and rabbits since I was a kid. I lost my senior soul-dog last year after a long battle with chronic illness. That experience has made me super fond of old-timers. I’m currently pet-sitting full time, so I have plenty of time spend with your furry family member. My schedule is flexible, let me know what works best for you. My pets are basically my children and I haven’t met a furry friend I didn’t love. I respect their boundaries and allow them to come to me on their own time and comfort level. I know how scary it can be to leave our precious kiddos in someone else's care and I'll look after your babies like they're my own. I promise daily updates and photos so that you can enjoy your trip a little more stress-free.

“Ashely’s communication was AMAZING! She sent pictures often and very knowledgeable in dog parenting needs. I was very anxious leaving and she made me feel SO much better and I was able to relax knowing my dog was well taken care of .”

“Was amazing with our anxious dog and cat. She listened to all our instructions starting from the meet & greet to the house sit. Our pets loved her! Definitely recommend for your next booking and will be requesting Aubrianna again”

“Matisa was wonderful with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She even stayed an extra night at last minute when we were stranded at an airport on vacation. We appreciate her willingness to be flexible!”

“Jade was, literally, amazing. This was the first time we had ever left our 3 (3!) precious pups. She took the time in advance to get to know them, what each of them needed and liked. She gathered information about the house and our trip so she could really support us while we were away. She sent us daily pictures and updates on their adventures - even graciously cleaned up after our youngest's, thankfully one time, "oopsie". From the pics and the calm, happy pups we returned to, it is clear they all adored her back. Without a doubt I would have Jade back in the future and most definitely recommend her most highly.”

“Elizabeth was the perfect house sitter and companion for our dog, Pringles! Her communication and service were superb. We will definitely invite her back!”

“Melissa was fantastic with my dog, Bentley. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly attentive to his needs. I really appreciated the consistent updates and photos - it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands while I was away. She also treated my home with respect, which didn’t go unnoticed. Overall, Melissa made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“I cannot recommend Steven enough. I needed someone to watch my three dogs over the Christmas holidays while I traveled for urgent family needs. I was honestly very worried about leaving them behind during such a chaotic time, but Steven made the entire process incredibly easy. From our very first conversation to the moment I got back, his communication was top-notch. He stayed at my home and kept me in the loop with daily updates, which allowed me to focus on my family without stress. He even brought in packages that arrived while I was away. If you need a trustworthy, communicative sitter who will treat your home and pets with respect, hire Steven!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m the proud mom of two lovable Old English Bulldogs and have been a dedicated foster mom for over six years. During that time, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide range of breeds—from gentle giants like Great Danes and Mastiffs to spirited Dachshund mixes and resilient Pitties. I truly believe we don’t deserve animals—they are pure, loyal, compassionate souls who ask for so little and give so much. My mission is to be their safe place, their advocate, and a source of love and stability in their world. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just some company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority—and I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! I am available all day Mondays & Fridays as well as the weekends. Tuesday-Thursday I am not available during the day only in the evening/ Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and safety always come first. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and my own dogs are friendly, loving, and great with new furry friends. I create a calm, welcoming environment where every animal feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I believe in giving pets the same level of care and respect I give my own. That means lots of cuddles (if they want them!), a cozy space to relax, and plenty of patience and gentleness—especially if they’re shy or nervous. I'm attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I make sure they always have a peaceful, safe place to call their own while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and everything in between. I am the go to dog sitter for all my family and friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide dependable care and regular updates!

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 19 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.
“Liza was amazing - She was super attentive to our Sweetie and Louis and communicated with us perfectly - She took very good care of our home and was super conscientious - We came home to happy and healthy puppies and that's all you can ask for - BOTTOM LINE: we'll be using Liza again FOR SURE and we appreciated her efforts, time, support and love - THANKS LIZA - You rock!!”

“Paul is an "animal whisperer." He was amazing with our German Shepherd, Lab, and Tabby. We have never left any of our animals in a kennel or with a "stranger" and after significant research, decided to give Rover and Paul a try. Paul immediately connected with our pets during the meet and greet, and took amazing care of them when we went out of town. We highly recommend Paul; especially, to nervous pet parents who appreciate regular updates! We will definitely be requesting Paul's help again.”

About: I’ve been asked to look over friends and families pets many times and would love to be able to help others with theirs while off traveling. I’m currently unemployed in between jobs and looking to help others out with their pet needs. I am almost always available and willing to help! I’m looking to do boarding at others homes due to my large family and my two cats that stay at home. I’m basically a nanny for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,855 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ruby. 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 Ruby 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 Ruby 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 Ruby 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
