About: I have always loved dogs growing up and playing with them brings me a sense of joy. I have dogs of my own and I always make sure that they are loved and cared for I currently work as a receptionist part time, so I’m free anytime to love, play, and take care of your pets whenever it’s necessary for you! At my home we have an electric fence, but we also have leashes for our dogs and others friends incase we have company over there
“We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!”
“Kristen was extremely communicative and took great care of our adolescent dog. We appreciated all of Kristen’s feedback and knowing our dog was in knowledgeable hands while we were gone!”
About: I provide expert care for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small pets. I am uniquely qualified to manage senior felines and medically intensive cats. My background includes rescue work, complex medical management, and specialized nutrition. Pet care is a lifelong passion and a core priority for me. I treat every animal in my care as a cherished family member, ensuring they receive the highest level of attention, safety, and affection. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to build my daily and weekly schedules entirely around the needs of the animals in my care. Because I manage a diverse range of species, my routine is structured to provide both consistent companion animal attention and precise habitat monitoring. When visiting your home, my focus is on maintaining absolute security, cleanliness, and the comfort of your pets in their familiar surroundings. Standard Companion Care: I handle feeding, fresh water replacement, litter box scooping, and dog walking. I follow your home security protocols precisely and provide regular photo updates. Advanced Aquatic Care: I check water levels, monitor filtration systems, verify water temperatures, and inspect fish closely for early signs of illness or stress. Specialized Reptile Care: I execute exact dietary plans, verify humidity levels, and ensure heating elements or UV lamps are functioning perfectly. To provide the best possible care, I always welcome written instructions, care guides, or checklists from pet parents. Knowing your pet's unique quirks and daily routine helps me keep them happy and stress-free!
“Kyle was fantastic with our two larger dogs and our aloof cat! He was super responsive and kept us in the loop on the happenings around our house while he house/petsat the weekend. Would definitely rebook him again!”
“Darlene was an absolute joy to work with with our housesitting and dog sitting. Beyond the fact that she’s a very responsible friend, friendly and experienced person that everyone can trust she’s a really nice person just to get to know as well.”
About: We have fun with our toys, playing catch, chasing eachother, they go along with the diet you have in place and we always show them praise when they do good! I’m a stay at home mom, with two kids and two dogs! It’s a loving, caring and fun environment! I have more than enough time to care and love your furry loved one! I have two fur babies here with me, one medium one large but both friendly and easy to play with, I can kennel either one of them up at any time if need be!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have had my own Boston Terrier since she was a puppy. Throughout the years, I’ve also house-sat and cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work full-time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting during my available hours, and I make communication a priority by providing updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. I understand how important consistency can be for animals, and I work hard to keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during visits, I’ll ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, and a safe environment. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I work in nursing and I love animals just as I love people I’ve been taking care of animals often on for the past six years. I’ve been in nursing for 10. I love spending time with animals especially my fur babies. I work overnights two days a week in a hospital, so I’m very flexible. It helps because I make my own schedule and I have my schedule out in advance. i also love going on trial walks and dog parks to let the fur babies run off that energy and have fun . I try to stick to a routine and keep them on schedule, of course show them love and affection as well. I keep them safe by being aware of my surroundings, and just interacting with them
“Conner was a great sitter. He took good care of our "Piper". He had to deal with Piper's anxiety and resource guarding issues, so big kiddos for that. Conner also communicated well while we were out of town. We would definitely use him again.”
“We were very pleased with the care that Elyssia provided when she watched our dog Sawyer. He is blind & she did a wonderful job! We will certainly use her again if she is available.”
About: I’ve taken care of others pets or my own most of my life. I have had my current dog for seven years. He just turned 12 so I also have experience with geriatric animals as well I am a single father so my availability can fluctuate depending on if you are okay having a a 3 year old come and help (fully supervised) . Want to be able to best meet everyone’s unique needs! I will follow any and all instructions left for me. I’ll make sure your pet feels like you never left the house and that every need is met.
About: I’ve been around dogs for the past 6 years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m patient, friendly, and always do my best to make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I understand what dogs need, whether it’s playtime, a good walk, or just some quiet company. Every pup is different, and I make sure to treat each one with the attention and love they deserve. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life. I’ve got a handful of dogs at home, and they’re all very different, some full of energy, some more laid-back. My day usually starts and ends with walks, feeding, and playtime, and in between I’m checking in on how everyone’s doing. I’m used to balancing different routines and personalities, so giving each pet what they need just comes naturally. My older dog needs a little extra help, so I take time to help with potty breaks and sometimes hand-feed when needed. I make sure he’s comfortable and not rushed. My younger dogs are more active, so we go on walks, play outside, and spend time burning off that energy. I try to keep things balanced—making sure everyone gets the attention, care, and patience they need. Each of my dogs is different, and I’ve learned to adjust to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
“WOW, Mary was a Fantastic Pet sitter for our 2 fun loving Doggies! She did wonderfully watching them in our home. Mary took our younger Poodle Mix on longer walks, while adjusting as needed for our mid aged Terrior mix -Andy. Mary reported frequently w/Pics and obvious to see our Pups loved her. We Strongly recommend Mary, & look forward to using her Again!! Mary’s very responsible & has a great sense of humor. 👍🏼😊”
“If I were to describe Makenna in one word, it would be AWESOME. She was great and very accommodating with last minute requests and changes. She came at a time when my dog was recovering from minor surgery and was very attentive to his and my other dog's needs. Communication was excellent and responsive. She sent pictures to keep me updated on my two dogs, which was greatly appreciated. She was very responsible and very thorough. Looking forward to having her come over again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sibley. 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 Sibley 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 Sibley 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 Sibley 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.
