“Amy is wonderful! She took wonderful care of my Velcro pitbull, Obi. I came home to a clean house and happy pup! She also communicates well and gave me great updates during my trip. I would 100% recommend her and plan to book her again soon! Thank you, Amy!”
“Great care for our higher needs anxious dog. Heelers have their own personality and it seems like they handled her great ! Lots of communication and pictures.”
“Erika and Cristopher were absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Kailo & Kiara. We received lots of pictures and thoughtful updates every day, which helped us feel completely at ease while traveling. When we came home, the house was immaculately clean and the dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑cared for. They went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave our pups. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters.”
“Vicky, was amazing! This was the first time we left our pets alone with anyone outside of family and she made the decision stress free. She met with us the day prior to discuss what was expected and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She asked questions and was genuinely interested in making sure are pets and home were taking care of. Her updates while we were away made our trip worry free as we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Even our cat who normally hides from strangers was comfortable with her! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“My pets enjoyed spending time and being walk by Melanie, and I enjoyed receiving daily updates on them! Melanie is communicative, clean, proactive, and kind. I know my pets are looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
“Veronica was great! We hired her to watch our dogs while we attended a concern. Our dogs took a liking to her right away and she sent us updates when we were at the concert. Thank you Veronica!”
About: I have a love for animals, and believe that I have a gift for understanding their needs and feelings when in new spaces or surrounded by new people. I enjoy playing and cuddling with both cats and dogs, but of course, will listen when they show signs of needing space or extra attention. I have mostly taken care of family members and close friends fur babies at their homes. Before I leave from my house-sitting stay, I'll do a little bit of light house cleaning, leave a note and if you are comfortable, I will send you at least 1 daily photo or video of your animal so that you can see how we are doing! I have given dogs medications, if this something that is needed. I'm fully committed to pet and house sitting at this time! I love have an open schedule, so if plans are to change on your end, I am more than likely able to be flexible. I am observant and cautious when it comes to looking over your beloved animals! Before entering and exiting homes, I always am sure that your indoor fur babies, don't find their way out.
“Kaitlyn is a very capable and responsible sitter. My 2 dogs both have health issues and take medications and it can be difficult and confusing, but not for her. She sent pics everyday during her stay at my house. She goes above and beyond and really loves dogs. They love her too!”
“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”
“Savanna was lovely! My dog and cat seemed to get along with her very well. She also was kind enough to manage our dog during the last week of her Heat and took it seriously. It was unfortunate timing but all went well and we really appreciated her. The house also looked great and overall things went very well. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs for 40 years. I have cared for them from being puppies to 17 years of age. We treat all pets with love and kindness. my Cocker Spaniel, Winni, is loved and cared for and given daily walks. I always feel she has me trained. She is always nice to other animals, even when she sees a bunny in our yard she just wants to look at it instead of chasing it. lol I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I can give medication and take for a daily walk. I always feel animals need more than watching, they need cuddles and affection and someone to talk to them
“Jung is very kind and communicative! She was so understanding of changes in my schedule and was flexible with dates. She communicated any questions or concerns quickly and efficiently. My kitties loved her, even my shy kitty would make an appearance. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Shelby did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, house, and plants. Minka has some chronic health issues that get worse when we travel. We booked Shelby for overnight stays and Minka did really well. Shelby was great at communication, managed all of the medications, was respectful of our house and requests. She kept our plants in good condition despite an unexpected heat wave. She left the house very clean and we’d be happy to book her again.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!
“Zahara did such a great job with my puppy! He warmed up super quickly and I loved getting photos of what they were up to. Thank you so much, hope to have Kai taken care of again by you soon :)”
“Maxwell did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while I was out of town. He checked in and asked great questions and left my place very clean when he left! I would absolutely have him pet sit again!”
“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
About: Hi, my name is James and I would love to take care of your pets! If you are looking for someone who can give your fur babies the love, care, and attention they need then look no further. While I don't have my own dog, I love taking care of yours. I work from home full time and I can make sure that all your babies' needs are met around the clock. I am very attentive and will follow any instructions that you leave with me to a T. I have a fenced-in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood in Vancouver. I would love to be the caretaker for any of your pets and can't wait to meet them! I am available to play with your fur babies throughout the day as I work from home. We also enjoy going for walks on our breaks which works perfectly for most pups. I have a fenced in yard and will make sure they are being watched the entire time they are outside. I am very attentive to the pups that I take care of and treat them like a member of my family.
“Jin was very kind and professional, provided an appropriate amount of updates and photos, and was very responsive with excellent communication. Would definitely recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sara
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,556 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sara. 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 Sara 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 Sara 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 Sara 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 Sara. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
