Marissa was a great sitter for our Kai dog. She sent pictures daily and Kai ate great with her. The house was clean when we returned and Kai was well taken care of. We’d be happy to have her sit for us again :)

Samantha was so great taking care of my dog, Figgy. She was responsive to messages and sent updates with pictures. Samantha was super patient with me, as it was my first time booking a sitter, and didn’t even flinch at his complicated feeding routine or high energy.

Mindy was great! Very communicative and loving toward our girl. Kai recently lost her brother so we are a bit more sensitive about her getting attention and having a routine while we are away. Mindy allowed us to travel with peace of mind knowing Kai was in good hands. Will definitely re-book. :)

Mark was fantastic! We were out of town for nearly a week the first time Mark house/dog-sat (he had previously walked our pup), and Mark handled everything. Most importantly, our dog loves him! But Mark also brought in the mail, kept an eye on things around the house during some large storms, and communicated with us regularly. The day we were coming home, Mark was willing to stay later during a tornado watch when our flights were delayed. He also left the house very clean in terms of dishes and laundry, which was not required but a nice way to come back from a trip. We will definitely be using Mark again in the future!

Michelle was great with our dog, Duke. This is the second time she watched him, and he was SO excited to see her! Unfortunately, our address wasn't updated in Rover and so she had to go across town out of her way first before coming to the correct address. Despite our inconveniencing her, she was still willing to stay a little late if we needed her to. We really appreciated her patience with both US and with Duke :)

Absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and she made our experience well worth it. Lorrie is very personable, helpful, a great communicator, asked all of the right questions & followed instructions to a T and most importantly, I could tell our pets enjoyed her company. Not only were our pets well taken care of but so was our house while we were away. Overall, she is a lovely person that you can tell enjoys doing this for the animals 🐾💜

Rebecca was amazing with our King. She knew his favorite was bananas and she shared those with him. Getting the daily updates with pictures was amazing. She was very thorough when we met and asked all kinds of great questions. We will definitely use her again. I know King is going to miss her.

Zoey watched my dog and rats for two weeks while I was out of town. She was amazing, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone! She was very patient with my dog who takes a minute to warm up to people, and was accommodating of all my requests (like watering my many plants and putting out my trash). She sent photos of my babies while I was gone, and made me feel like they were enjoying their time with her while I was away! I will definitely try to book with her again in the future :)

Kortney does amazing, takes this job very seriously. Met every single need of our pets. Took great care of our stressed out cat and was even able to make friends with her. Gave her medication just right. Our pooch loves her and was wonderfully taken care of. Kortney's communication is spot on!!! She was able to schedule drop in visits the entire week before we left to give our cat a chance to know her. Took great care of our home and watered my outdoor plants for me. Our cat gets idiopathic cystitis when she is stressed so needless to say we were worried about going but this could not have been better and was the most relaxed vacation I have had in years!

About: I’ve always taken care of pets anywhere I go. Growing up, I couldn’t have a pet so I made sure to take any chance to spend time with friends’ pets. I’ve raised two puppies now as well as helped care for an end of life dog. I work M-F during the day, so evenings and weekends are generally free. I have a good routine with my two dogs so it would be just fine adding more pets into the mix I enjoy taking dogs on walks just as much as I like snuggling and playing. I have a very small fenced in yard, so I'm used to plenty of walking with my dogs. I also treat other peoples homes with as much respect and care as I would for the people themselves and pride myself on being trustworthy and reliable.

About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.

About: I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and taking care of animals ever since I can remember! I have an emotional service animal named Bella who is a chihuahua (I will not bring her when caring for your animal for safety). I know how special and important pets are and I would love to care for your pets when needed! I am a college student and my schedule is very flexible. I can do mornings, late nights, or check ins/walks during the day. The weekends are more flexible for me! As an owner of an emotional support animal, I have experience in crate training. I have experience with babysitting and house sitting and will treat your home and pets with respect and kindness!

Carli took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She was very flexible with us given the somewhat short notice of our request, very good at staying in touch, and sent plenty of pictures of the kids! They loved having her over to keep them company. We would happily recommend her services and will definitely be coming to her first in the future!

Kylie did a great job house sitting and watching our dog while we were away for a week. She had great communication, kept us updated with pictures, and took him on walks. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed having her stay with him. We appreciated the peace of mind and would gladly book with Kylie again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sellers

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sellers. 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 Sellers 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 Sellers 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 Sellers 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sellers. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
