“Amy was so great. She was caring and attentive with our two dogs and she took great care of our home. She was great with communication and I felt very confident with her staying in our home. She left the house clean and tidy and the girls were very happy. I’d highly recommend Amy and will definitely use her again.”
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”
“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!”
“Mary house sat for us and took care of our two pitbulls while we were on vacation! The house was in great condition when we got home and she sent photos of the dogs while we were away. I would book with her again!”
“Victoria has been a great sitter and I would love to use her again in the future. She provided several updates throughout the stay, and was very attentive. One of our pets experienced a medical emergency and she was able to take them to the ER vet and get them the care needed. I’m not sure what we would have done without her!”
“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!”
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
“Abra did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. We have a large doodle, a cat and fish aquarium. Abra gave them all excellent care and provided frequent updates and adorable pictures. She was very attentive to all of the pets. She played with the cat, she walked the dog and played fetch with him. Our time away was more relaxing knowing that we had a dependable and caring person looking after our animals. We will be using Abra's help again next time that we travel.”
“Brandon was wonderful. Pepe, My dog, felt very safe and happy. Pepe suffers from separation anxiety. Brandon left the house very clean just as I left it. I think Brandon enjoyed his stay and we loved having him. Looking forward to our next pet sitting adventure. Brandon is highly recommended.”
“Shelby was fantastic! We have booked with her before and will book with her again. She took great care of Minka (our old kitty) who has some health issues and needs medication. Minka usually gets stressed when we leave and Shelby was able to keep her happy, healthy, loved, and entertained. She sent us great pictures and kept our house clean and our garden watered. She was exactly what we needed, communicated well and understood all our instructions.”
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals (dogs, cats, & more) and am currently a paw-rent to an Australian shepherd/cattle dog mix & an orange tabby cat. Our rescue pup came with some pretty severe reactivity issues that we continuously spend time working on and training. This challenge has made me learn and grow so much as a pet parent and in turn, a pet sitter! I am always the designated pet-sitter for friends and family, and I love it! Outside of my own, I have had experience with lazy and chill animals, as well as reactive and/or hyper. I myself love the outdoors and would be happy to bring your fur baby on walks or hikes, short or long. I am also available for long term care and/or home visits. I am comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and have experience with senior (cat) care, and administering oral medication (dog & cat). I am here for you and your pets needs, whatever they may be! I am currently available every day of the week, really any time! (In between full time jobs) So I’m flexible & would be happy to work out anything that would fit your schedule best. Your pets safety is my top priority! Whether I am sitting in your home or just out on a walk or hike, they will be protected.
“Skyler was absolutely amazing to all of our pets and everything was done so well. She took photos daily and it was clear that our pets were treated extremely well.”
“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 :)”
“If you are looking for the most loving, attentive, and kind petsitter, look no further. We’ve been blessed to have Jenny watch our dog and cats for the past few years and are so sad to be moving because we know we will never find a sitter like Jenny again! I could sing her praises for days! Thank you again Jenny! You’ve given us so much freedom to travel and spend time with our loved ones knowing our pets are safe and happy at home!”
“Lynzi was wonderful with our 3 dogs and sensitive to our eldest’s health issues. She made an extra effort to tidy up at the end. We will definitely ask her to work again! Thank you!”
“Michaela, unfortunately, had to deal with a broken nail on one of our dogs that happened the night before our trip, and she handled it extremely well - she kept us informed and took the right precautions to let it heal. Our house was spotless and pups were relaxed and clearly cared for upon our arrival. Michaela’s communication was honestly perfect for us. She sent a picture and a message, daily, and it was plenty (sometimes it can be a bit too much from sitters). We’d definitely let Michaela care for our pups and home again :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,457 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 , 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.
