“Aria took diligent care of our pup Ellie while we were both away on work trips. When Ellie wasn't feeling well Aria kept me up to date the whole time, which made me feel comfortable in what could otherwise be a very concerning situation. She even gave Ellie a bath when she rolled around in the mud! Thanks Aria for all your help 🙏”
“Sydney is a very personable lady. She listens well to instructions, and communicates with understanding, acceptance and flexibility. She was available last minute( same day) which was such a relief to us. We look forward to having her be our “go to person” when we need a pup sitter.”
“Maddy stayed at my house for 3 nights with my two dogs while I was away on vacation, and she was an EXCELLENT pet sitter! Kept my home clean and in order, and my dogs absolutely love her - they were sad to see her go!! Maddy provided regular updates, including pictures and videos of my dogs, and she was super easy to contact. 5 stars!”
“I highly Recommend Sequoia. She was very attentive to our dog Oakley needs. Everything we asked of her was followed through with evidence of pictures and videos. Upon returning after a 2 day vacation our house was neat and clean......she was very respectful of our home. We will be contacting Sequoia again for further Oakley sitting duties!!!!!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions, administer oral medications if needed, and provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule. I am a full-time student, with all of my classes in the mornings, so I have availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am also completely free from Thursday after 11 a.m. through Sunday, allowing me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable care for pets. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe and sticking to their usual routine so there’s as little stress as possible while their owner is away. I spend time with them, make sure they’re fed on schedule, get their walks or litter box cleaned, and get plenty of attention and playtime. I also treat the home with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I love sending updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and cared for.
About: I have grown up living with and caring for animals. I have taken care of animals at all life stages from young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. I have administered medicine and have attention for details and care with specific pet needs. I am patient and am willing to work with most any pet! I currently have 3 cats who are my babies. I've worked with small dogs and frequently handle dogs up to 100lbs. I love the outdoors and making sure your family members have the best care possible while you are away! I would love to get to know your pets! I'm currently incredibly flexible with my schedule. As long as I have adequate notice I will be available most any day! I am used to caring for pets all day everyday. I can am willing to accommodate whatever care your pet needs to be comfortable, safe and cared for why you are away. I treasure animals like family and I can assure that they will be well looked after.

My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where your dog can enjoy their stay while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. I believe your dog deserves a vacation while you’re on yours!

Feel free to message me with any questions or to learn more! 🐾 I’m a full-time professional dog trainer with over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments! 🐾💕 Because I work with dogs full-time, your pup will receive plenty of attention throughout their stay. I make sure each dog gets a healthy balance of mental and physical stimulation through enrichment activities and Kongs, daily walks, playtime, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and love! My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home while they’re in my care. We I have a fully fenced backyard with a secure 6-foot fence, giving your pup plenty of space to safely enjoy some outdoor time! 🐾 Dogs in my care are treated like my own. They’re welcome on the furniture, can sleep with me if that’s what they’re accustomed to, and are able to spend their day hanging out with me rather than being kept separated or kenneled unnecessarily. 😁 I accommodate every dog on a case-by-case basis to make their stay as comfortable and familiar as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 177 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ryan. 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 Ryan 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 Ryan 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 Ryan 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.
