“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Christi was absolutely amazing, giving the best updates and perfectly managing every detail. She created ease for us in ways that went above and beyond pet care, but we also felt confident that our fur baby was treated like a princess. We are so grateful for her level of care and highly recommend!”

“SHavonna is one of a kind! Her demeanor and reaction to my Lulu's growling at her the first time she met her was perfect. She and her 7-year-old son were the perfect house guests. My home was clean and ordered and Lulu greeted me happily and in fact did not want to leave shavonna! That right there is the best recommendation anyone can give!”

“Christina was able to help me on very short notice and stayed at my home for an entire week. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease knowing my animals and home were in such capable hands. She was excellent about sending photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned home, the house was spotless, and all of my animals were happy, healthy, and well cared for. One of the biggest challenges for me is finding someone who is experienced with a variety of animals—not just cats and dogs, but also goats, chickens, guinea fowl, and geese. Christina handled all of them with confidence and care. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I am beyond happy with her services and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and home as if they were her own, Christina is the one! ❤️🐾🐐🐓🪿”

About: 🌱Since a little girl all the way up to now I have been surrounded by animals. I have experience in caring for both cats and dogs alike as I have fur babies myself; 3 cats and a Pharaoh Hound. 🌱 🌿I will gladly follow special care instructions and supervision advisories as needed to ensure your pet is comfortable in their own home.🌿 ✨Have an Exotic/ “Unconventional” pet? I’ll care for them too! 🐠🦜🐁🐍🦎( this excludes Insect pets.)✨ All I ask is that if I am to pet sit to please allow me to bring my dog if it is overnight stay. I am typically available full-time on the weekends only as I have all day off on those days. Weekdays I am available after 5pm. After I get off of work I typically care for my own pets before relaxing myself. I like to follow instructions provided by the owner. I typically prefer to give pets their respective space unless they show to be needy with affection or hyperactive and need an outlet for their energy via playtime!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs and one cat, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’ve learned a lot about dog body language and understanding each dog’s unique personality, and I’m always learning more about cats too. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently a cosmetology student and work part-time. Since I haven’t started school yet, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Even once classes begin, I’ll continue to keep my schedule updated and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. I always make sure every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and love they deserve while they’re in my care. When caring for pets in your home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I like to approach every dog with a calm, positive energy and take the time to let them get to know me before we head out for a walk. I pay close attention to their body language, personality, and energy level so I can adjust to what they need. Whether your dog loves a long walk, a slower pace, or just extra encouragement, I’ll make sure they have a safe, enjoyable experience. I’ll also follow your pet’s routine and care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“I have not left one of my pups to travel in over a year. She had her gall bladder removed June 2025 and was shortly thereafter diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, so I was scared to leave her, but I had a wedding in Charleston to go to, so I contacted Nikki. She came over and met the girls and I liked her a lot. She was on time the day I was leaving. She left the house just like she found it. She texted me frequesnt updates and pictures. She made my short trip to Charlestion much less stressful. I will definiotely reach out to Nikki the next time I need someone to stay at my house with the pups.”

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

About: I have been a animal lover my whole life. When I had to personally hire a pet sitter, I was very particular who I allowed to come into my home and take care of my babies. I was blessed to have found a wonderful sitter. In fact that’s how I became a paid sitter. She hired me to take care of her clients and personal animals when she went on vacation. With over 20 years of experience, I can provide references as well as the posted reviews. Our pets are more than just animals, they are family. I will give your companions the attention they need as well any special request. From dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and farm animals, I have the expertise you need. We all want our pets to be safe, comfortable and cared for while we are away. I'm here to assure you that I will treat your loved ones as one of my own and look forward to meeting your entire pack! I currently pet sit and book accordingly. My attention to detail allows me to care for 4 households a day. My daily routine includes greeting and walking the client and feedings as well. Some need special attention, so my time is dedicated to that. Making time to care and treat these clients as family is what I do. From walks to belly rubs, these clients have my full attention. When you’re at work and you need me to come by and let "Fido" out for a walk,I'll greet him\her with a smile. Each pet is different. Giving them their own special attention is important. I can leave you a note, text or contact of your desire on that day's adventure. Before leaving your residence, I will make sure your loved one has adequate provisions until you arrive home. I'll also sweep your pets area and make sure your home is secure. If you have any special request, then let me know. Overnight care is also provided. You can rest assure that your pet and home are my upmost concern, while you are away.

About: I've never met an animal I didn't like. I know how important it is to find a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. I am a sucker for animals and have rescued all of mine. Your pet is the best judge of character you need! As a stay at home mom, I have a good amount of availability and flexibility to provide all the care that your pets need! I am very easy going and happy to accommodate. Besides the necessities like food, water and time outside, I believe it is equally important to provide all pets with plenty of attention, playtime, socialization, exercise, walks & love!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sandy River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandy River. 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 Sandy River 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 Sandy River 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 Sandy River 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.


Never beg a friend to watch your dog again. With Rover, you can find your the perfect Sandy River house sitter in seconds.
