“Timothy was awesome. Covered on short notice for a holiday weekend, let me know what was going on when I asked for updates, and left my place exactly as I found it. 100% would book again.”
“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
“Carolyn is the absolute best! She loves and treats our Lily as if she were her own and we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. Complete peace of mind while we were gone and she constantly kept us updated with photos and videos.”
About: My first formal pet sitting experience was taking out and playing with my uncle’s black lab puppy after school, my senior year of high school. Then, that same year I pet my aunt’s 2 cats in 2016. During the pandemic, for over a year, I stayed at my friend’s house while she was away at work. I would take her precious pup Lala out for walks, give Lala and her cat-sister Sophia their meds with breakfast, and treat them like the princesses they are. I recently left law school, so my availability is completely free until I find a full-time job! I would love to set your mind at ease by visiting your home as often as you’d like! I would care for my clients’ pets the same way I care for my cat-son, Remy. I give him all the attention he desires, and I do the less-than-desireable things (like washing his litterbox monthly, clipping his nails, and brushing his teeth) with a smile because I know it’s what’s best for him.
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.
“Forest was great with our pup Sherlock! He stayed with him in our house during the Christmas holidays for 8 days. We stayed in touch during the stay with texts and he sent some pictures. When we came back the dog was happy and our house clean, we couldn’t ask for more! Thank you, Forest!”
“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.”
About: Hi, PJ here! I have had dogs and cats all my life. During the day I am a teacher, and I love nothing more than to come home and unwind with fur babies. I do have experience with reactive and anxious dogs as well with my own dog. Rest assured your pets will be in good hands with me. I am picking this up as a side job because I genuinely enjoy it, and I am working to get my first home! I do currently work Monday through Friday from 6:30—2:45pm. My schedule follows all school holidays being a teacher, so I do have some time where there is wiggle room. Generally I am able to get to a pet sitting location by 3pm. I follow strict routines that are set in place by the pet parent. Feeding times, walk length, play information and medications. As long as the routine is clear it will be followed.
“Judith is nothing short of amazing!! She is so kind and caring and our shy & nervous girl is just in love with her. The piece of mind she gave us for our long trip away was priceless! She gave Nutmeg all the care she needed and more. We’re so grateful. We will definitely have her back soon and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top care for their pups!!!”
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!
“Kelsey was a great dogsitter who went above and beyond for us. She stayed at the house for 3 overnights with our 2 old lady dogs while we went to my dad's memorial. Our old lady dogs are so old that the kennel would be too much for them. Kelsey deftly handled their separate feeding requirements and kept them on their potty schedule. She made fast friends with them and they were at ease with her. She was communicative with us about her schedule and even sent fun photo updates. We trusted her and really appreciated her being there. We feel like we lucked out with Kelsey and hope to hire her again! Thank you Kelsey, from Ruby, Daisy and all of us!”
About: I have worked with dogs as little as 10 weeks to senior pups! I make sure they always feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I want every pup in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust their day based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. I provide attentive, responsible care and take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and specific needs before their stay or visit
“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!”
“Hi highly recommend Becca, she's very personable and she had to end up staying a little longer than we expected and she had no problem accommodating us, and most importantly my 2 dogs loved her,”

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.
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 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.
