About: My fascination for animals has been lifelong. I have several years of professional experience working in pet stores, which has provided me invaluable hands-on experience with a wide variety of species. However, I hold myself to a much higher standard than what is typically expected in a retail setting. My passion for working with animals is rooted in deep empathy and a continuous commitment to self-education. I am capable of administering medications, providing first aid, and accommodating pets with disabilities. I am also trained in identifying common health issues such as fleas, ringworm, heat stress, and others. Other relevant experience include years of dog walking and pet sitting for friends, 4-H rabbit projects, volunteer work for the National Park Service, a letter of recognition from a former governor for promoting animal conservation, and a certificate in rat tickling from Purdue University. My schedule is very flexible for any time of day, any day of the week. I am open to working holidays. I can usually work around last-minute arrangements and schedule changes. Foremost, I am respectful of your personal property and privacy. Hygiene/cleanliness for your pet, your home, and for myself is also a priority. I understand if you have cameras in your home for peace of mind. I am happy to regularly check in with you and send photos as well.

“Katie went absolutely above and beyond for us when we were gone for a few days. From the beginning meet and greet, I felt extremely comfortable having her stay with us from the way she interacted with our pack of 3 large dogs, and just how she interacted with us too. Our dogs can be a lot and she handled them amazingly. During our trip, Katie sent us the perfect amount of updates and pictures (which she is cognizant to ask during the meet and greet!), and the pictures were all incredible. Our dogs looked so happy and playful and adorable! I could tell they were having a blast with her ❤️. Katie was also super responsive to my texts which I very much appreciated - it let me know she was here and very active with our pups! Katie left the house far cleaner than when we left too, making the day after a long trip so easy. Katie is truly a star sitter that has a wonderful heart for people and animals, takes her role very seriously, and I would use her again without hesitation.”

About: I have been around dogs and multiple cats ever since I was 5, but have been pet sitting for a year as additional income. I have dog sat a range of breeds from german shepherds to Maltese's. My routine when I go on walks is as needed for the dog, but on average 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon, night) if you live in a neighborhood/condo, may vary depending on location. Please feel free to ask questions! I am currently a senior at Indiana University, and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. So, I will have plenty of time for your pets! I love to go on evening walks with my roommates, play lacrosse, read, and attend IU football games! Ideally I would go to/stay your home so that your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible! I will cater my routine to your pets personality, if they are an early riser, so am I. If they like to lounge and watch 101 Dalmatians, so do I. I am here to make you and your pets lives easier!

About: I have cared for animals of all different kinds. Don’t be afraid to inquire about exotics or animals with special needs! I am a big fan of enrichment and doing the best I can for my pets. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry, feathered, or scaly friend! My schedule is currently open to any and all pet care requests. Just let me know what you need!

I would love to hear all about your pet and their likes/dislikes to ensure their comfort!

“Mirte was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our home and pets. She went above and beyond in every way, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly adored her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. We came home to a spotless house, happy animals, and everything handled perfectly. Mirte is reliable, kind, professional, and truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets and home. Five stars all around!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. All of which have been large 80-110 pound dogs. My parents currently have 3 large dogs that I used to live with. I am currently a full time student so I would totally be down to watch dogs and cats all day while my clients go to work or out of town. I am trying to start my own food business so I get to do that during my free time. Throughout the years of having my own family dogs, I have learned when a dog is uncomfortable in a situation and when to get them out of a situation.

About: Patient, Attentive, Problem Solver, Caring, Love Each Pet Like My Own, Punctual and Consistent, Communicative, Will Understand Each Individual Pet’s Needs, Comfortable Administering Medicine, Fun! My schedule fluctuates throughout the year depending on how many hours I am working and what my classes look like. For the summer, I am pretty flexible, I do have a part time job in the evenings, usually Thursday-Sunday 4-anywhere from 8-11pm. Definitely message me about evening bookings within those days so I can check my schedule or work with my other job to accommodate to you! I also have a campus job in the summer, so throughout the week I have short shifts in the morning/early afternoons sometimes, but those are pretty easy to work around. Let me know if you have any questions! I would love to be given a run down of your pets regular daily lifestyle and what I should watch out for or what will help them get comfortable with me! I will follow directions attentively and keep up on whatever schedules you have your little friend on already to make your lives as easy as possible.

About: I am a certified animal lover! I have cared for friends’, family’s, and co-worker’s dogs, including over night and extended stays. I worked as a volunteer at Pet Refuge for over 2 years, where we assisted with enrichments, walks, feeding, medication administration, etc., for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In my experience in pet and child care, I care for them like they are my own! ❤️ And with that being said, you can have peace of mind knowing I am making sure all needs are met and paying attention to every detail! I currently work Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. So, as of now, I am free only in the evening or on the weekends. HOWEVER, come mid-June I will no longer have that time commitment and will be free thoughout the daytime as well. I have been a babysitter for the same family for 10 years. I have done many overnights in their home over the years, which also has included taking care of their Shiba inus! Not only have I taken care of their 5 kids and 3 dogs, but I’ve also either baby, dog, or house sat for their parents and siblings, which I believe is a testament to the respect and quality care I strive to provide.

About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sanders

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Sanders on Rover is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $27 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sanders. 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 Sanders 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 Sanders 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 Sanders 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanders. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
