About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 7 years of experience caring for them. I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare and kennel, where I get hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently work part-time at a dog kennel/ daycares, so my availability can vary throughout the week. However, I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone. I’m available for advance bookings and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routines, pay close attention to their needs, and provide plenty of love, supervision, and attention. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have to make sure your pet feels right at home!

“My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.”

“Maurie has been a dream petsitter...she has a sixth in dealing with animals. Ever since we first contracted with Maurie to stay in our home and care for our four pets (two cats and two dogs), we've noticed distinct positive outcomes. Our pets are visibly calmer, happier, more rested, and less agitated and anxious. They all appear healthier and more trim. Maurie promotes long walks and consistent interaction with them, and she doesn't overdue giving them treats. Maurie is the greatest person...we recommend her wholeheartedly as a petsitter!

I would highly recommend him for any pet. Our dog Charlie isn't always the easiest and Andres did a fantastic job.”

About: Hi, I’m Erica! I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, and my experience goes far beyond cats and dogs. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, goats, fish, and other farm, household, or small animals. Growing up around animals taught me that every species—and every individual animal—has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, fresh water, cleaning, medications, enclosures, and daily routines, and I understand how important consistency is when you're away. I’ve also had cats and dogs of my own and have years of experience pet sitting, so I’m comfortable with both everyday pet care and animals that need a little extra attention or specialized care. I’m a nonsmoker, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and caring for animals. Whether you have chickens that need their morning routine, goats that need care and companionship, ducks, fish, or a combination of animals, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect—and follow your instructions carefully. I currently have the privilege of working remotely part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work around your pet’s routine rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I can adjust my schedule around feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and whatever routine helps your pet feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure they always have fresh water, the right food, clean surroundings, and anything else they need. I’m happy to give them space and simply stay nearby if that’s what they prefer, or provide plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and companionship if they’re more social. I also follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home and your pet’s space are left clean, safe, and comfortable.

About: Was responsible for many cats and dogs when I was growing up. Currently have a fur baby name Genevieve and she’s a calico. She is roughly two years old. Pet care is something I naturally incorporate into my daily routine. I make time to ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of love and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, so I do my best to maintain their usual schedules and make them feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my schedule. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m happy to care for pets in either my home or their own home, depending on what works best for them and their owner. I know pets can feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I’m always mindful of their routines, feeding schedules, and little quirks. In a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, get plenty of attention, and stick to their usual routine. If they’re staying with me, I make sure they have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Whether we’re going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just hanging out, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their owner is away!

About: Hi! I’m Leandro, originally from São Paulo, Brazil, where animals were always part of the family. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, many of them rescued from the streets, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with so many different personalities taught me that every animal has their own way of communicating, trusting, and showing affection. Some are immediately friendly, others need patience and a little space before they feel comfortable. I’ve always loved getting to know those differences. I have 8 years of pet care experience, and what matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal as an individual, not just another booking. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, affectionate, or a little stubborn, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m a writer and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! I love having animals around while I write, whether they’re curled up next to me, keeping me company, or reminding me it’s time for a walk or a little playtime. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I can easily adapt my day to your pet’s routine, making sure they get the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they’re used to. Having grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, many of them rescued, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and way of feeling comfortable. I always take the time to get to know each pet rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Some want affection right away, while others need a little patience and space, and that’s perfectly fine! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure to follow their usual routines, keep their environment clean and safe, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while we’re together.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sandyston Township

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 548 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandyston Township. 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 Sandyston Township 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 Sandyston Township 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 Sandyston Township 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Sandyston Township. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
