“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our 15 year old dachshund while we were on vacation. He sent lots of photos and updates to put our minds at ease. Our dog was happy as could be upon our return. Would absolutely book with Michael again!”
“Rachel was a wonderful in-home dog sitter. In addition to being a perfect house guest, she was so kind and caring to my senior pup. She was communicative and left everything in perfect order. Ziggy says he would highly recommend her and would give her 6 stars if he could!”
“Kalia was great with our dog, she followed instructions on giving our dogs meds and her dinner for the 4 nights we were away. She left our house in the same state it was when we left, would definitely book with her again”
About: Hello, my name is Nick and I’m a life-long dog owner (22 years) and serial animal shelter volunteer. As someone who is going through the process returning to higher education later in life, I find myself in the peculiar place of mot being able to have my own little companion! So here I am on Rover 😁 Recently, I have been involved as a puppy socialisation teacher, big dog play group facilitator, dog enrichment programming, cat socialisation and shelter medicine associate roles with the San Francisco SPCA. I have training in handling both shy / fearful and jumpy, mouthy and energetic animals. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with some highly knowledgeable animal behaviour specialists, shelter medicine staff and all-round-animal lovers, who have instructed me in the power of positive behavioural approaches to animal training. In short - you can rest easy knowing that your little fur baby will be in the hands of a knowledgeable, well-trained and compassionate animal lover who is always trying to increase positive animal behaviours while developing a loving and supportive bond! My full-time job is a sports coach / fitness trainer so I’m relatively flexible during the day and required for 3 hours in the evenings to coach training sessions in person. I believe that consistency is key when it comes to quality pet care. Your animals will be used to you, your care routine and approach to care generally so I do my best to align with myself to this. That being said, I’ve been trained in a fear-free approach which aims to reduce fear, stress and anxiety by becoming aware of each animals unique disposition and subsequent triggers/stressors, removing/altering the animals immediate environment to curb any negative effects and lastly using mindful handling techniques that cater to the animals specific needs. Simply put - I’ll make sure your doggies will be happy pups whilst you’re away!
“Casie did a great job taking care of my pets while we were away in my home. She went above and beyond and did things that were not asked of her as well as water my garden since we didn’t get any rain. I felt comfortable with her and even though I missed my babies I knew Casie was loving them just as I love them. I will definitely have Casie back.”
“Ashley did a fantastic job with our three cats, though they can be challenging. She stayed in our house and left everything looking great. We would not hesitate to book her again.”
“Tina was outstanding! She gave me daily updates on how my boy Chef was and was overall very thorough with making sure he was well taken care of. I will be reaching out to her again next time I need someone to watch Chef.”
“Plachette gave all the right attention to our two cats,two dogs and 5 fish tanks- she was responsive and engaging throughout our week long trip. Her maturity and experince put us as ease, and her empathy and compassion with our fur-family was obvious from the moment she met them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Alexis was amazing with the our cats and dog! She sent us pictures of our fur babies everyday and was just awesome to them! I felt at ease knowing that they were in good hands! Thank you Alexsis, for the care you provided to Theia, Rue and Jules 🥰”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued Labrador early prior to the covid year. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I relocated to Pittsburgh from Boston for my medical training this year. I thrive on a schedule and can work if we plan the days well in advance together. I will be open to taking care of your pet as needed and happy to coordinate a schedule for walks/boarding at my house with you. My partner and I are trustworthy, active, and organized, and we genuinely care about making your dog feel safe and loved while you're away from home. 🐾 I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! We needed a cat sitter for 4 days while me and my wife we're out of town and couldn't have been happier choosing Stephanie to look after her. We got pictures texted to us everyday and received updates throughout the day. It gave us such piece of mind knowing that someone we trusted and who genuinely enjoys being around animals was looking after her. Next time we are out of town we will definitely reach out to Stephanie to schedule another session with her!!”
“Gabby was simply awesome! Leo and I met her and her pets before to ensure Leo will get along with them. It was great, dogs played together and Gabby put my worries to ease. The stay itself was amazing, i got steady stream of pictures about Leo's stay and his adventures. I thought he had more fun than he bargained for. After the stay Leo was sleeping for two days straight and i think he had so much fun that he needed vacation from the vacation. Thank you Gabby for being wonderful host to Leo and putting my worries to the rest. I'll definitely reaching out to her again when i need dog sitter. ”
“Beatriz was very attentive and caring with our dog Daisy. She warmed up to her in no time! Beatriz also went above and beyond in caring for our house and waiting for packages. I would gladly rebook her if she is available next time we are on a trip!”
About: I love to care and take for each and every one of these pets as my own. Give them love, affection, playtime treats, and feed them all they want of course with parent approval I will go above and beyond to protect and enjoy your animals company. when is sitting for other people? I try to come to the house if not staying there about three times a day for cuddles treats, snacks, and fun. Myself I would struggle up with my little kitties all day long and take care as needed. if I see a mess, I take first hand. If something were to go wrong, we’re having an issue immediately contact the owner and fix the problem to my best extent while the owner is away. There is nothing that I have not been able to handle so far fingers crossed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,414 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Russellton. 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 Russellton 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 Russellton 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 Russellton 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.
