“We are so thankful to have found Karolina! From the moment we met her, we could tell that she truly loves animals. She stayed in our home and kept our senior dog and rambunctious younger dog for a week while we were on vacation. I tend to worry about leaving them because I know my two pups are a handful, but Karolina kept them very happy and content! She shared daily photos and updates, and she did a great job following all the instructions we left her. We returned home to happy dogs and a spotless house! Many thanks, Karolina!”

About: I am a passionate animal lover who enjoys building a genuine connection with every companion animal I care for - from long walks to couch naps to extended belly rubs. I treat all animals like my own, and am quick to learn their needs so they feel comfortable during my watch. I work from home, so I will will spend the entire workday with your animal (in addition to all other responsibilities. I am very communicative, and I have been told I take great animal photos - so you will feel connected to them as you enjoy your travels away from home! As I mentioned above, I work from home so I plan to spend the entire work day with your furry friends. I will also spend as much additional time with them as they need to make sure they’re comfortable in your absence. I am very responsible when it comes to your needs and what will make you feel safe while I am watching your companions. I will follow any guidelines you leave for me, and I will treat your animals with the gentleness and respect they deserve. I am also respectful of your space, and my hope is that you return without knowing I was even staying in your home!
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.
“Angela came right on time and was in constant communication with me. She also went above and beyond and brought in some packages for us. We’ll definitely be using her again :)”
“Karlee was SUPER awesome! My dog Ava loved her from the first moment they met and Karlee was very detailed and communicative throughout the long sit. Karlee shared lots of photos and updates and I had no worries while I was away. It was great to take a long trip and have zero concerns throughout. Ava will delighted to have Karlee back to stay any time in the future and so will I!! Thank you!!”

“Jada did an amazing job dog sitting for Hazel when I was in a pinch! She took thorough care of her and did an amazing job communicating and sending updates and photos! I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone!”
“We were so thankful that Veronica was available while we were out of town for 8 days to stay with our pup in our home. She sent pics often which always made my day and kept us updated. We felt very happy and secure knowing she was there with Kelowna. Would highly recommend and we will definitely use again!”
“Shyla was INCREDIBLE! I have a very demanding cat, Tiny and was extremely nervous about leaving her as I had never left her for that long. Shyla was amazing at housesitting for over two weeks, providing frequent updates and photos and was able to develop a bond with Tiny. Normally Tiny is angry when I come home from trips, but this time she seemed happy which was just an amazing thing to return to. Highly recommend Shyla, she is the best❤️”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, daily walks, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a senior pet who needs extra attention, or a shy cat who prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to fit each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime to ensure pets stay happy and comfortable. I am organized, dependable, and flexible, making it easy for me to accommodate different routines and special care instructions. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening play sessions, or overnight care, I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they receive the attention they deserve. I strive to maintain a routine that closely matches what pets are used to at home, helping them feel secure and stress-free. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special preferences. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and work to maintain the pet's normal routine to reduce stress. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where they can thrive.
“Nora exceeded our expectations! We came home to happy and healthy animals and our house was in good order. Nora is courteous, was organized when she came to learn of our expectations, responsible and a remarkable lover of animals. We've never come home after traveling to happier animals. My husband and I would recommend Nora for the next time you need your pets and house cared for while you enjoy your time away from your home.”
“Katrina was great! She was super sweet to Oliver and left the house super clean! She was incredibly responsive and gave updates on Oliver while we were abroad! I would absolutely book Katrina again!! Thanks for being so kind to Ollie!!”
“Morgan was amazing!!! She watched our two dogs and cat in our home. She was already up to speed on our pets profiles before our meet and greet, and asked a ton of thoughtful questions about their routines and habits. She sent daily updates and pictures - it was such a relief to know our pets were safe and happy while we were out of town! Morgan also went out of her way to be at the house to let in our cleaning service and wheeled our dumpster to the curb when I forgot. Definitely will book Morgan again the next time we go on vacation! 😊”
About: I have had pets all of my life, my mom had two dogs and a cat before I was even born. I am a passionate animal advocate and have fostered and rescued over 50 dogs in the last 10 years with Northwest Boxer Rescue, and I took a Veterinary Medicine class in my final year of high school. I have all the basic medical experience of a Veterinary Assistant, and I am CPR trained for cats and dogs! I am also trained in basic grooming and small animal first aid. I have taken care of and owned a variety of animals, from rodents to horses and livestock, and I have fostered dogs from newborn puppies to seniors in their final days. I am currently in my 2nd year at WWU and I only have classes twice a week with a super flexible schedule. I’d love to meet you and your fur babies of all shapes and sizes! I am currently just a student, so I have plenty of extended free time to take care of your pets. On days I have class, I can stop by or take your dog for a walk in the mornings before 10am, and come back later around 4pm as well, with a mid day check-in too if you’d like! :) I am free all days besides Tues/Thurs, and I can be flexible with your schedule too! I am available on weekends and late nights. I have a quarter of an acre fully fenced yard for my dog at home, and my cats are indoor only cats. I take my dog for walks twice a day, and love to spend at least 30 minutes playing with one of my cats at home, he is an energetic breed and needs interaction. My other cats love to snuggle up with me on the couch, so I have no issue taking your dog for a walk and getting in some needed playtime, or just snuggling up with a furry friend on the couch and giving them some loves! My pets are fed twice a day, and they all have water fountains with frequently cleaned and filtered water. My dog goes out for potty breaks every couple of hours as needed. Routinely pet care is very important to me as well, I brush my cats & trim their nails, and I bathe, brush, and clip my dog as well. My pets are all vaccinated and on flea & tick medication. I can comfortably crate (and rotate) if needed. All of my cats are 100% indoor only and I am VERY vigilant about this! Keep cats indoors 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Saxon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 719 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saxon. 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 Saxon 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 Saxon 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 Saxon 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.

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.
