“Maria exceeded my expectations by far! We rescued our dog, Murray, not long ago and he has bonded very closely with me, and I was worried about leaving him. We scheduled a few drop-ins with Maria prior to our 8-day vacation so that he could get to know her just a little bit before our trip. She was great with him from day 1. She kept us updated with messages and photos daily and he seemed very relaxed and happy. She also took excellent care of our home, bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, keeping things tidy. She also noticed we were low on milk and replaced it with a new container, so we'd have it upon returning. And she laundered the sheets and towels before leaving! I would highly recommend Maria if you are looking for a phenomenal pet sitter! We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Maria!!”
“Anna pet sat our cat and 50 lb pitty while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. She was super responsive and sent us lots of pics. They were definitely in good hands! Anna is an amazing, reliable sitter and we plan to use her again any dog walking and pet sitting in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 . My family has relied on me to walk their dogs , feed and bath them I’m currently employed part time but seeking to work extra hours. Trying to find gigs such as this which could work with my class schedules and my other personal things. I have a fenced yard in my house, and friendly dogs as well. I usually take my dogs on walks every morning and evening depending.
About: I am a Pet Lover who loves the JOY every PET brings. Your PET is in excellent hands with my PET CARE. I am 100 💯 Trustworthy and Reliable. Communication is my specialty with you and your PET. I am Retired 24/7 and can be available on short notice to booking weeks or months in advance. Book your pet's care in your home with me today. I currently do not offer care in my Home as I reside with an elderly couple who have 3 small dogs of their own. Maybe in the near future I will offer that service.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life — I was raised with them! Since I was little, I've always helped feed, bathe, and walk my family's dogs of all breeds and sizes. As I grew up, my responsibilities did too! I've trained puppies and administered medication to seniors / sick dogs as well :) I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your little fur babies! I'm genuinely passionate about animals of all kinds and love big dogs especially, as I've owned my own German Shepherd! I'm able to do with full on house sitting and just checking in. I currently live with my partner and our two cats! Even though I live with my partner, all pet sitting/care jobs I take are only done by me. I won't bring my partner to your home or around your pets! Our cats have differing food needs, so I make sure to follow vet directions as needed to keep my babies healthy. I also have a reoccurring client with kittens that I cat sit for! I've cleaned their boxes, fed them every day, and made sure to clean up any poopy messes one of them often left due to sickness :(
About: I have been responsible for feeding and walking my 2 dogs since I was 12 yrs old. I have spent over 5 years doing child and senior care, and am a certified lifeguard, so I would consider myself highly responsible and experienced in many similar fields. I'm free nearly every single day and have a very flexible schedule for the rest of this year. After that I will be at school part time. Your pets will have my full attention while under my supervision, and I guarantee I can meet their needs! I love to play with energetic dogs and will definitely be able to match the energy of even the most zealous ones!
About: Hello:) My name is Brylee. I live with two doggos myself, and love animals. I've had family pets growing up, and was always the designated pet sitter. I understand what an addition any beloved pet is, and am excited to get the opportunity to take care of your sweet addition! I work full time Monday through Friday, however I have one hour lunches if I needed to do checkups, and am available on weekends if needed. I live in a condo, with very friendly neighbors, most of whom have pets as well. My roommate and I love taking our dogs to the dog park, or cherry creek, letting them enjoy beautiful Colorado.
“A big thank you to Leslie! She had amazing communication with us during our dogs stay. Really put us at ease. Dogs were very happy! I would highly recommend this home and Leslie if you want a responsible Rover!”
“We couldn't have left our pets, and our home, in better hands! We had a good feeling when Samantha stopped by for a meet n greet and our Molly took to her immediately. She's normally very shy and standoffish at first so it was particularly remarkable that she had no hesitation with Samantha at all. While we were gone Samantha kept us updated with daily reports and photos of our babies. When we arrived home (hours later than agreed, due to airline delays), the house was spotless and the animals were all happy & healthy. From now on, whenever we need house/pet sitting services she will be our first choice!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rush
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 764 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rush. 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 Rush 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 Rush 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 Rush 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.

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.
