“Gabrielle was a great caregiver for our dog, Walker. She made sure to keep us updated throughout her care and was able to change plans on the fly if needed. Would highly recommend her to any pet parent in need of care.”
“Katherine has been amazing! She is kind and considerate. She has always kept me in the loop while house sitting and taking exceptional care of my 2 fur babies. She spoils them and loves on them like they are her own. I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Remington is an all star pet sitter! She expertly watched my 130lb mastiff who is a little shy. But in just a short while they were best buds! He waits for her to arrive in the morning and they have a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to contact her to pet sit for me again, she's awesome!”
About: We love iur 4 legged babies and treat them like family members. We have threebabies and they are spoiled rotten. I make homemade treats for them which they get a morning and nite time treat. We gave a feeding schedule which is 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. They all sleep with us and settle in with us for tv time in the evening. . One of our girls even has a car seat because she loves going with me when u can take her. As u can see like I said earlier we live dogs. I would have more if I had room and lots if land.. we donate when we can to the spca. Anyone u ask would tell u that we are great with animals and trust us with their fur babies. I am retired and have no children living at home. I love animals and treat them like family. I’m also available to set with your babies at your home or mine. I try to have a set schedule for walking. Playing. Feeding and rest times. I believe all pets need lots of love and attention. I request proof of vaccinations. The dogs will never be left alone.
“Morgan was awesome 👏, she stayed with my lab Lucy for a week. She was very responsive, brought her on walks, sent me pics. Got home and house was clean, dishes washed, puppy brushed and sweet smelling. What’s not to like? Yes I will absolutely book her again.”
“Hannah sat for our 3 dogs on short notice. So appreciative for her! Super sweet, active with our pups and kept us updated with pics and messages. Will definitely use her again!”
“Candace stayed at my house while I was gone for 4-5 days and took excellent care of my dog and my cat! Both of them are on meds and she was very willing & able to give them. My dog has anxiety, and she was so patient and good with him. He loved her! I highly recommend Candace and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I’m comfortable with puppies, kittens to senior dogs and cats and love catering to their every need I can work any time, I am very flexible and would love to be your dependable go to person to take care of your doggie! I take care of pets in their environment (home) and will follow all instructions from the pet parent as well as do any extra duties needed for a wonderful experience
“Wow!!! I can honestly say I never thought I could feel so comfortable with a “stranger” in my house and taking care of my dogs. Jen clearly is a professional who knows what she’s doing and LOVES the doggies. From our first meet and greet where she did all the right things introducing our pups and helping me feel comfortable, to coming home to a freshly swept, mopped house where she washed her own sheets, cleaned out our kitty litter, and brushed our dogs multiple times...it was a DREAM! I used to sit myself and I didn’t think I’d ever find someone as attuned to detail as I am. I got multiple video and picture updates daily and she stuck to her word on how long the dogs would be alone, making sure they were always fed and played with while she was home. She is honestly worth every penny and then some. And to top it all off, I feel as though I’ve made a new friend :) BEST DOG/HOUSE SITTER EVER!!!”
“Heather is an outstanding dog sitter! She communicates constantly, she followed all the instructions and rules. She is super kind, helpful and friendly. True professional. Will definitely work with her again.”
“Stop! You have found the right house/dog/cat sitter for you. My wife and I planned an extended vacation and certain circumstances led us to Rover and finding Kayla H. From the very beginning, Kayla responded promptly and was very helpful guiding us through the process. From our initial messages, to the meet and greet, through her entire stay in our home, Kayla never said no to any request, and did things above, and beyond. Kayla was respectful in our home and most importantly she treated our two dogs and two cats in the same manner that we care and love them. Kayla’s attitude, personality, and most importantly her actions provided us with ease to go on vacation carefree. We cannot provide a strong enough recommendation for you to use Kayla for your sitting needs. My only hope is that Kayla is available for our next vacation.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“Darian is a fantastic pet sitter. You will not have a care in the world if she is watching your pets. Her communication and care are top notch. We 100% recommend her and will use her again and again!”
“Lucilla was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and courteous with us, but more importantly she made our nervous and strong-willed dogs feel at ease. She has a calm confidence that dogs will really align with. We look forward to using her to care for our fur babies in the future and would highly recommend her.”

I'm comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, as well as administering oral medications when needed. I also have experience with high-energy dogs and understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. As a business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled visits, walks, and drop-ins while making sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, so I’ll work with you to maintain your pet’s normal routine and keep them comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I know pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where their routine, smells, and favorite spots are familiar. That's why I strive to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines, while giving your pet plenty of love and attention. My goal is to earn your trust by treating your home with respect and caring for your pets as if they were my own. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your sweet babies are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jenny was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It was obvious that our pets loved spending time with her. She treated them like they were her own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care! Coming home to happy, relaxed pets gave us complete peace of mind and showed us just how amazing she is! We are beyond pleased with Jenny’s services and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter! She did everything right, and we will absolutely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Jenny, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,224 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sand Flat. 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 Sand Flat 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 Sand Flat 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 Sand Flat 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.
