About: Throughout the years I have dogsat/pet sat for numerous family members and various other individuals. I am experienced in dogs of old age, puppies (and their shark phase lol), dogs with dementia, smaller dogs (yorkies, etc). For my current boss, I have watched her pitbull puppy numerous times whilst multitasking and watching a toddler. Also, a fun fact is I adopted a dog of my own from nickel city canine rescue. His name is bluey and he is just over a year old. I know the challenges that come with dogs, due to the when I got him he was reserved, untrained, and very scared of people walking up to him. Now after many training sessions and lots of patience and love me and him have become social butterflies. To summarize; I have skills in taking care of senior dogs, dogs with dementia/disabilities, a variety of puppy ages, and training puppies basic commands (sit, wait for food, ring potty bells, etc). I hope to hear from you soon !! I currently work part time (Wednesday and Thursday) as a nanny, and I am in school to receive my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. So on my free days I’d love to take care of your pets :) I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I make sure to walk my dog two times a day ( weather permitting) and to do lots of brain enrichments. If you need, in my time in your home I can clean bowls, set up enrichment toys, or take your babies for a nice walk.
“Angela watched both of my dogs while I was on vacation at my campsite on literally the weekend of July 4, 2022. She is a very kind and gentle soul. She has so much knowledge and compassion working with animals. She took care of my babies with so much love. She very responsible and goes extra! Very trustworthy and kind person. Honestly it was the first time I met her but her personality and compassion shows She on time and goes beyond. You won’t be disappointed and your pets will love her Highly recommend”
“Noelle did a great job caring for our dogs while we explored the area. Very sweet and reliable. Would recommend her and would have her stay with the dogs again if ever in the area again.”
“Belle took outstanding care of our dogs while we were away. Belle was understanding of our dogs’ particular needs and took great care of them. She made sure to send update pictures daily. Belle also goes the extra mile to get all pertinent information about the dogs before hand. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I am a reiki master. I love providing healing to animals. Hugs, belly rubs ,you name it!! I dont mind providing medicine also. I also prefer over communication. I can swing by on my lunch break for potty breaks. I also can coordinate walks. Weekend time frame I also dont mind dogs of smaller size over to stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for my 2 dogs. Very clean environment. I have a 11 yr old Australian shepherd and a 6 yr oldhound that are friendly.
“Amanda pet sat our 1 year old Pomeranian for 2 nights. She was reliable, arrived on time for our meet & greet. She is sweet and friendly with our pup. She followed our instructions and we found our home neat like we left it. I would recommend her, she did a great job.”
“Bryan took great care of our dogs and home. Our rambunctious pups can be quiet a handful and we really appreciate Bryan's dedicated care and clear communication. We would definitely recommend Bryan and would hire again.”
About: I am a devoted pet owner who has experience exercising, feeding and administering medications to my own animals as well as visiting animals. I believe it is important to take each animals individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. That is why my family and friends always ask me to take care of their furry friend. In addition, my fun and compassionate personality will ensure your animal and I are best friends. I work full-time from home, which allows me to easily adjust to your pet’s schedule. I’m also off on weekends, so I’m available to give them plenty of attention and care. I believe it’s important to learn your pet’s routine and keep their daily life as consistent as possible. Since I work from home, I’m able to adjust easily to your pet’s needs and schedule. I also have a large yard for them to enjoy, and my garage is fenced in so they can safely spend time outside even when I’m there. For added security, the main door area is enclosed to ensure no furry guest can slip out.
“I found Izzy at the perfect time. We needed a last minute sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent us awesome updates and loved on our sometimes selective pup. You could tell he felt so safe with her and we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Already telling everyone I know to book with Izzy!”
“Allison did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs. I’m thankful for all she did for us and keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. We don’t leave them often and it was great having piece of mind knowing they were taking care of.”
“Candace was amazing! I was worried leaving my 7 wk old puppy but they did wonderfully! Candace kept me posted with pics and made sure he was well taken care of! Definitely will be using again and recommend!”
“Forest is a great sitter for our pets. We were fostering a dog last minute and Forest was able to take that on unexpectedly. He was super patient with a dog that was totally new to us and pretty fearful. He sends lots of updates and pictures. We appreciated his help tons!”
About: Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to view my profile! Some of my experience includes in-home sitting for various dogs for multiple years, fostering with Boot n' Kit Canine Rescue with over 16 8-week-old puppies, fostering with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue for dogs newborn-senior, and volunteering in general with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue. I also come from a long line of vets and vet techs, which makes me confident. I adopted my own dog in April of 2022 (whom is a great foster sibling!) so all inquiries must be comfortable with a well trained 40lb resident dog. Please message me with any questions, I am super flexible and willing to accommodate! I currently work a hybrid position, allowing me to take Rover Requests on most days! I am hopeful my availability will increase in the future! Dogs ARE allowed in my apartment, and I have paid all fees incase of any damage. Your pup will stay leashed outside of unit. Depending on the dogs size, age, temperament, etc., we have various equipment of our own including a crate (s), play pen, toys, dishes, blankets, beds, etc. My commitment to your dog includes care, but additional love and affection as well. I do photography on the side, and your dog is guaranteed to be a model!
About: I've had cats, dogs, frogs, a lizard, rats, a jumping spider, cockroaches, fish, shrimp, snails, and a horse as pets. I worked at a farm animal sanctuary and have volunteered at the SPCA. Mi español es limitado, estoy aprendiendo. Haré todo lo posible para adaptarme a los hispanohablantes. I'm a student and my availability is subject to change. I can be flexible, message me and I'll do my best to accommodate you. I will abide by whatever instructions you want me to follow and be attentive to your pet and their needs. I would love to meet your pet!
“Jillian had an air of comfort and kindness from the moment I saw her at the meet and greet. She took wonderful care of our home and our boys while we were away for nearly a week. Our senior has a bit of a medical routine and she executed it perfectly. So grateful we found her!”
“Reilly was fantastic! She showed up on time, followed every instruction for all three of our dogs, including administering medicine and vitamins. She interacted with them, let them out frequently and was never gone for more than a few hours. Would hire her anytime!”
About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sanborn
We cannot say enough about Belle and how amazing she was with our dog Lady! We took a week long trip and Belle made sure our dog was happy, safe and loved. She went above and beyond to make sure Lady was happy the entire time and never stressed. We received constant feedback with pictures and messages. This was our first time leaving our dog and thanks to Belle we were able to have a wonderful getaway with our family without any worries. She's a blessing and clearly has the background, skills, and personality to work with animals. We highly recommend her with any pet!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 546 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sanborn. 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 Sanborn 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 Sanborn 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sanborn 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.
