“Melody is amazing! She sent us updates about our dogs every day and she has excellent communication. Even when leaving for a few minutes to grab a Starbucks she would give us a heads up. It was so nice to know how the dogs were doing and to know when she would be leaving them even if for a short time. She never left them longer than what we asked they be left alone, which we have had previous issues with. She also did amazing at leaving our house cleaner than we left it, without an expectation of that. If our friends or family are unable to watch our dogs again we will definitely be using Melody, we trust her as much as our friends and family!”
“Elizabeth watched our dog while we took a day trip and did absolutely amazing with him! She took him out on a long walk, got him a pup cup, and gave all of the love and snuggles. We also got regular, detailed updates throughout the day with lots of pictures. Can’t wait to have Elizabeth back again soon!”
“Deborah did an awesome job with our little mini dashund for a 5 day trip. She was appropriately communicative so we didn't have to worry about our little dude and he was very well cared for, as was the house!”
“McKenzie was so amazing! She played fetch my Skye multiple times in the day, sent photos all day long, and helped out with giving Skye her AM pills. Skye is so sad she’s gone, but we’re so happy we now have an amazing dog sitter. Highly recommend her for all your bubba needs :)”

“Mady was friendly, professional and responsive throughout the booking process. This was Roskie's first time being watched by someone other than family and we can tell he felt at ease with her. She sent photos every day, which made being away from our boy a little easier.”
About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
“Aoife gave us a wonderful gift: She cared for our pups and home is such a way that we felt comfort and great confidence and this was our first experience together! Our little dogs are fragile medically and we are so pleased that not only were their medical needs met but their emotional needs as well. They seem completely relaxed with us home and not with the usual transition stress. Thank you Aoife.”
“Alena was good at communicating. She came to meet our dogs and my standoffish dog was in love with her in a couple of minutes. She sent a picture during the stay. She left my house in perfect condition.”
“Desiree & Tyler took amazing care of our pup and house for several days. They are knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and professional. We have already booked them again for a trip we are taking in a couple months. Anyone fortunate enough to engage them will be well served. Your pet(s) will be well cared for, and your property will be treated as if it was their own. We look forward to a long relationship with Desiree and Tyler.”
About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant! I have four years of clinical experience, which has allowed me to work with several different species including dogs, cats, bunnies, and other small animal species! I understand basic health needs for each animal and love to give extra time and cuddles/ enrichment to your furry friends! I’m a full time Pre Veterinarian student who is looking for part time sitting opportunities! These smaller jobs work perfectly with my school schedule as I can offer care before my classes and after as well as on weekends. Additionally, I can also take on longer jobs! I may just need more time in advance to make sure our schedules align! I believe keeping your furry friend happy and healthy and safe is the highest priority! Depending on the species I can help with basic needs such as feeding, Medicating, walking, enrichment, Pedicures, tidying up their area, ect. Services I offer: -Drop ins -House sitting -Olfactory Walks
“Justin was kind and attentive to our dogs. He had his hands full with 2 puppies, who are full of energy; however he was undaunted and quickly "made friends" and calmed them! Also, our service dog immediately warmed-up to Justin, and she is very particular! Justin sent us pictures to let us know that all was well, and that was a welcome surprise! We have already scheduled another sitting date with Justin, and look forward to positive, on-going care for our beloved pets.”
“Rose did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies and house! :) She was a fantastic communicator and sent lots of pictures! :) She was great with our picky Bernedoodle and our goats and barn cats! She’s trustworthy annd responsible and I’ll definitely be asking her to house and animal sit when we go out of town in the future! :)”
“An incredibly effective and quick communicator. She pays close attention to the dogs’ routines and remembers all the important details. We always receive photos while we’re away, which gives us great peace of mind. She also takes wonderful care of our home. Highly recommend!”

About: Since 2021 I’ve fostered 2 cats and 2 dogs and have found them each their perfect forever homes. I love animals and love making sure that they’re cared for and taken care of. Trails, parks, and beaches, oh my! Oh the places that your little furry friend and I will go 🐶🐾🦮 As a veteran enrolled in law school full time, I understand the importance of time management and responsibility. Most of my availability will be during the week after class and in between studying, with more time typically opening up on the weekends.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sidney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 631 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sidney. 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 Sidney 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 Sidney 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 Sidney 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
