“this was our first time using rover and Jill was wonderful!! we have an older big dog that isn't a fan of kennels and this worked out perfectly. She house sat for a long holiday weekend and kept us updated the entire time! she put all of our worries at ease while gone and there was no better feeling then coming home to happy and stress free animals! We will definitely rebook with Jill again!!”
“It was a pleasure to have Alyssa in our home. Her availability was exactly what we needed for our older dog and her communication with us was great! Our dog was well cared for and our home was clean when we arrived back home. Will definitely book her again for future trips!”
“Karen is fantastic. She took great care of Buddy. He had walks and snuggles and we got pictures that just showed how happy he was. Highly recommend Karen, she is definitely an animal lover. I also “think” our house is cleaner than we left it lol. Book with her with confidence.”
“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”
“Nadia went above and beyond. She took our pup paddle boarding & on a hike. I think our dog has a new best friend! Nadia left our apartment sparkling clean. I highly recommend booking with her!”
About: Hello - I am a friendly, outgoing. experienced pet owner and previous vet tech with a love for all types of dogs, cats, horses, and small animals. I currently own a Bernese Mountain Dog,a Golden Retriever, a small Jack Russell Sheltie mix, 3 cats, and 2 horses. I have also owned bunnies, guinea pigs, rodents, ferrets, fish and even a snake. I am active and love going for walks, playing ball or frisbee, or any activity outdoors and with pets. I have competed in multiple events with my dogs and have several obedience titles on them. I have taken care of puppies as young as 1 week old. I am a volunteer at Bronson Children's Hospital doing pet therapy with my dog. I have 2 children who are also active with our pets. I currently work full time but mainly remotely so have flexibility in my schedule to do am and pm drop in visits. I can also do overnight if close and you have wifi. I am responsible and caring and will take care of your pet as if it was my own family pet. I also can get mail, water plants, etc on my visits.
“Highly recommend for overnight stays. Great communication and not afraid to ask questions to make sure our pets were most comfortable. We would definitely call in her again if she were available. She sent the cutest photos.”
“Morgan house sat for us for a week. She was great! The house was spotless when we got back and the pets were happy. Would definitely have her come again, as long as our scheming cat didn't scare her away!”
About: I have 5 dogs of my own, ranging from a cattle dog to a pitbull.I have no problem taking care of any type of animal and I have experience in all fields of care, including bathing, walking, nail-trimming, and more. I’m free from 6am-11pm on weekdays! I do work full-time but my boss is lenient and he’d have no problem with me tending to your furry friends! I personally have 5 dogs in a non-fenced in yard but they are all very well trained. I would prefer to keep your animals in the comfort of their own home though due to my dogs being very playful, if your dogs are comfortable being in a high-energy setting it would be no problem but they don’t need added stress from my rowdy bunch.
“Kristin is so amazing and we are so grateful to have found her! She loves our pups and takes such good care of w brushing for us! She is a prompt communicator, very flexible, super patient and understanding. I would always recommend her to anyone- she brings us so much peace of mind so we can enjoy our time away.”
“Morgan is great with my zoo of animals. I love how she is able to stay at my house to keep them used to their surroundings, sends lots of updates, and cute photos to know that they are not missing us. She is my go-to pet sitter and would highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Garin and I’m a happy business owner as well as avid movie buff and traveler. If hired I promise to take the best care possible of your beloved furry ones whenever the time is needed! As a business owner I have unique flexibility for pet’s different needs and am available just about anytime even last minute and on some holidays We have a beloved cat Clover that mostly hangs out in our room and has a comfortable playpen when we take longer trips that we can’t bring her on. When caring for client pets we usually attempt minimal routine disruption and treat the pets as if they were our own on our own schedule
About: I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. With a deep passion for animals and a commitment to reliability, I treat every pet like my own, giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my part-time schedule because it offers flexibility, allowing me to plan visits around other commitments while still providing quality attention to each pet. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m available. I will care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, following their routine to keep them happy and stress-free while you're away. From feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, I’ll provide attentive, loving care as if they were my own.
“Karen was so super sweet and fantastic with our doggos. She spent a lot of time with them at our home, was very easy to work with and great at sending pics and keeping me updated. My dogs are happy”
About: My name is Paige and I am currently working at a local dog daycare where I have been employed since February 2017. I also work at a local boarding kennel and am a dog trainer there. I’ve worked there since January 2022. My dogs and I compete in dog sports (dock diving, disc, etc) as much as we can! I have even gotten some clients into it. I went to college for a year in Florida (Lynn University) and studied biology, taking part in their animal welfare club and the zoological society. I have my associate in arts from Kalamazoo Valley Community College. I have a certificate in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University. I also have a certificate of attendance for a canine fitness workshop hosted by Elite K9/Northeast K9/Colorado State University Pueblo. My schedule varies throughout the week as I work a full time job and teach training classes. Please reach out to me about my schedule to accommodate pick up/drop off. I have several personal dogs, so safety is first and foremost for me. I frequently have at least two client dogs staying with me. I utilize crates, baby gates, and x-pens to ensure safety. We live on an acre and it is completely fenced in. If you are looking for a place to board your pup, but want a more intimate and home-like setting, look no further! Rest assured that your dog will be physically and mentally stimulated daily. Dogs are kept in 4’ x 4.5’ x 4.5’ runs with access to water 24/7. All runs include stall mats and/or Kuranda dog beds (cots)- which are great for the older guys and gals! Your dog will be let out at least 3x daily for a minimum of 30 minutes each time for potty breaks. Several hours are spent outside daily for group play if your dog tolerates it. Yard time includes anything and everything your pet loves to do: sniffing, exploring, fetch, pool time, basking in the sun, and playing with other pups (if they are ok with others!). Benebones are included with each run! Blankets/beds/toys are welcomed if your dog is not a chewer or shredder. Otherwise I provide dog-safe bedding. When dogs are not playing, they are resting in their 4.5 x 4.5ft x 4.5ft kennels with comfy raised cot beds (stall mats also available). Due to the large amount of dogs I have here (including my own), this is crucial for their safety and provides structure for all. I currently work split shifts between the daycare, boarding & training, which allows me to be home at random hours of the day to let dogs out. Quieter than a boarding kennel!!! And daycare included! Dogs are kept in spacious kennel runs with their very own comfy beds (personal stuff encouraged if not a shredder!) if they are not outside running around being crazy dogs. My yard is completely fenced.
About: Pet Sitting Profile I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’m always happiest when I get the chance to care for them! I’m moving back to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 15, and I’m hoping to buy a home in the summer of 2027. In the meantime, I’ll be staying with relatives, so pet sitting and house sitting feel like a great way for us to help each other. I can earn some extra money toward my future home while getting to spend time with some amazing animals, and you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands. A little about me: I’m 35, gay, and a friendly, responsible professional who works in hotel sales. I’ll be working fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be available and give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a 3-year-old large dog will be getting to vacation at his grandparents. Thankfully, my parents will be helping care for him. which allows me to take on pet sitting and house sitting opportunities. My experience with animals goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve had two saltwater aquariums with fish, corals, anemones, and more, as well as a large freshwater aquarium that I maintained for years. Growing up, I also owned several reptiles and have experience helping care for chickens, ducks, and other animals. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, aquarium care, or simply someone trustworthy around while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I genuinely enjoy animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I am relocating back home to Grand Rapids on September 15 and I will be working in a fully remote capacity from 10:30am-6pm. I will have a very flexible schedule and no commitments outside of work so last minute needs are easy to accommodate. I do travel for work periodically but that will get communicated well in advance. I have my travels through April on my availability already. I am most comfortable caring for the pets in their own environment. I will be living with relatives upon my return so cannot care for animals in my home unless there is a specific situation that is discussed in advance. I’ve watched relatives and friends pets for years and I am comfortable in many different housing situations!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, and other animals for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and loving while also following your pet’s routine and needs closely. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and safe presence, I’m happy to provide care that fits their personality. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m happy to communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am currently completing my master’s degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home often. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day rather than pets being left alone for long periods. When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and rest. I know consistency helps pets feel secure, especially when they are away from their owners. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and affection based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether a pet enjoys being active and playful or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I adjust my care to meet their needs. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and a safe space to rest. I take safety very seriously and monitor pets closely while they are in my care. I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including medications, crate routines, or special care requests. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 665 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Schultz. 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 Schultz 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 Schultz 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Schultz 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.
