“John watched our 2 senior dogs, one of which needs alot of assistance some days. John kept us updated by sending pictures and we knew they were doing ok. It was such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know everyone was going to be fine when we returned. We definitely will be using him again when we have functions to attend. We highly recommend John!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and elderly cat (who gets meds 2x/day!) with Michelle for 12 days. She is very responsible, has great attention to detail and is highly attentive to making sure all bases are covered. Additionally, and so important, she has a kind, loving and compassionate energy - I felt at ease leaving my furry children and home with her and was not disappointed!”

About: I have six years of hands-on pet-care experience and have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m also a devoted dog owner to my Shih Tzu, Pebbles, whom I have raised since he was a puppy. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, basic grooming, and keeping pets comfortable and entertained. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s established routine, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I keep my Rover calendar updated and do my best to accommodate both advance and last-minute requests. I’ll always confirm that I can fully commit to your pet’s schedule before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Before each booking, I like to learn about their temperament, routine, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions. I also pay close attention to secure doors, gates, leashes, and interactions with other animals. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet and provide regular photos and updates throughout the booking.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for many years family pets, friends’ dogs, and neighbors’ pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. As a parent myself, I’m patient, responsible, and always at home to give your pets the attention and security they need while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind. Pet care is a natural fit for my daily routine. As a parent, I’m home most of the day and already structured around caring for others. I handle meals, potty breaks/litter scooping, playtime, and any medication on a consistent schedule that matches your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust around school drop-offs, pickups, or family activities while still giving your pets plenty of attention and companionship. Overnight house sitting works especially well because I’m already at home in the evenings and nights. I’m reliable with communication and always make sure pets’ needs come first while fitting everything smoothly into my day. When you book house sitting with me, your pets stay in the comfort of their own home and receive consistent, attentive care. I’m home most of the day, so your pets get plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long stretches. You’ll receive daily photo updates and short messages so you know how everyone is doing. I follow your exact routines for feeding, potty breaks/litter scooping, medication (if needed), and playtime. I keep the house tidy, bring in the mail, water plants if requested, and leave everything just as I found it. I’m a parent myself, so I’m patient, calm, and used to managing a household. Your pets will be treated with the same care and affection I give my own family. Feel free to request a Meet & Greet so we can go over everything in person and make sure it’s a perfect fit!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.

“José was absolutely amazing. We’re truly so grateful for the care he gave our dog and cat. He communicated consistently with daily updates, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we arrived home, both Latte and Arty were clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. We did house sitting, and the house was left spotless. José made us feel comfortable and confident the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily recommend him to anyone!”

She sent me plenty of videos and photos of my puppers and always asked questions before doing anything to make sure it was in line with how my boys are usually treated. I appreciate her attention to detail, as well as her kindness to my aging babies. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

He sent at least two pictures a day and said the kindest things about our pup - which made us feel like our pup was in good hands. We will definitely hire Ari again in the future!”

About: I understand how nerve wracking it may be to leave your pet with someone new. Thankfully, I am here to assure you that your dog will be reliably taken care of while you are away. I am more than happy to arrange a meet and greet and will send multiple updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can enjoy your vacation and time away from your pet at ease! I've taken care of many friends and family dogs throughout the years when their owners would go on vacations. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once where I walked them, played, and fed their pets for many weeks. I finally found my forever furend, Romeo who is now a 7-month-old pomsky! Romeo is playful and loving. He will be a great companion to your furry friend during their stay with us! I am working from home and I am very flexible on taking your pets on walks throughout the day. I have a private rooftop I can bring them to, a nice quiet neighborhood area to walk around and there is a dog park 25 minutes away. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My daycare services are from 9 am - 6 pm daily; the cut-off time for boarding services is by 6 pm daily. My dog-friendly apartment building has a private balcony where your fur baby can enjoy the fresh breeze throughout the day. I also have an amazing, beautiful rooftop that has fake grass where your pet will enjoy running around! I have provided a photo of the gorgeous private rooftop below. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment that is clean, mopped, and vacuumed daily. Your pet will have a private and quiet area to rest and spend their day happily!

Antonia was great! She was incredibly responsive and flexible in scheduling our meet and greet, which I very much appreciated. Nia house sat for my dog and cat; the cat has CKD and requires extra care and Nia was on top of it. Nia spent lots of time with Teddy doing what he loves best - snuggling! Nia loves animals and they love her right back! Nia also provided regular updates, which I appreciated, especially since it was the first time we worked together. I will definitely use Nia again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sands Point

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 18,911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sands Point. 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 Sands Point 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 Sands Point 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 Sands Point 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 Sands Point. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
