“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL!!! Annie is a shy dog, slow to warm up to new people. Elizabeth understood how to approach her to increase Annie's comfort level and they were soon best buds. Elizabeth sent us daily written updates, photos and videos to keep us appraised of how Annie's days were going, providing us reassurance and peace of mind during our absence. We would most heartily recommend Elizabeth to house and dog sit, and although we don't often travel without Annie, we are delighted to know we can call on her again if needed. She is a lovely person, wonderful with our dog, and respectful of our home.”
“Our dog and cat were well cared for by Virginia and her family. It’s was nice to not worry during our vacation. Our dog stayed at her home and she is exhausted 💤 after spending time with her kids 🤣 We’ll definitely ask her to care for our pets in the future! 😆”
“Rachel and Stella are the most wonderful sitters imaginable! We not only get daily updates and photos, but come back home to the happiest dog, who has clearly been lovingly cared for in our absence (and, did I forget to mention the house looked better than when we left 😊). We LOVE Stella and Rachel 🥰! I feel like we should start planning another trip soon, because Annie (the dog) will miss her friends Rachel and Stella.”
“Nikki did a great job taking care of my senior, deaf kitty who is on meds and a bit of a complicated feeding schedule. She was great about communication, and sent photos which was much appreciated. She was clean and respectful of our home as well. I would definitely recommend her”
“Maddy was a fantastic house/cat sitter for our two cuties. Her communication is excellent, she carefully followed our sort of OTT directions for feeding and we returned home to happy kitties and a sparkling house. Thank you, Maddy!”
About: Lover of pets! I’d love to meet your furry (or not so furry) friend. I’m very active, so long walks & even hikes are totally alright by me! I’m here to help you and your pet thrive. Whether that’s walking, playing, feeding, companionship, bathing , etc. I have been caring for pets since I was a youth. Whether that was neighborhood pets, friends pets or family pet. I have experience with a wide range of ages & sizes. I used to live out on a farm for several years and care for kittens, chickens, goats, pigs, and dogs. I helped take care of newborn kittens, feed and foster trust with them. Regularly cleaning the chicken coop, feeding them, collecting eggs and just hanging out with them. I would feed, brush and hang out with the goats also clean out pen. I raised a pig for 4H feeding, caring, and spending lots of quality time with him. And then of course dogs, I spent a good amount of years caring for two labs. Running them, washing them, cleaning up their dog house, feeding them. Snuggles and cuddles of course. I have notoriously always had an orange cat in my life; however living on the farm had about 6-7 cats I cared for. Them being farm cats mostly wanting to be fed and hung out with me in the grass or came by for pets. Neighborhood cats would get pregnant leading me to foster relationships with their kittens, a lot of times rescuing them, cleaning them up and bringing them back to wellness then re-homing them. Overall, I’d love to play & care for your pet as you see fit! Ideally I’d prefer a meet & greet prior to care. I have a very open and flexible schedule; morning's, afternoons and most evenings I should be around. My work schedule is currently evenings Sunday through Tuesday. I make sure pets are fed on time always have water and are let out whenever needed. I also make sure cat’s litter boxes are well maintained.
“Jasmine did a phenomenal job taking care of my elderly dog. I came home to find him relaxed, clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. My home was left immaculate as I left it. She is by far the best sitter we have ever had. I can’t thank her enough. She sent me a pic and responded promptly any time I sent a message.”
“Bridgette is an awesome sitter! She watched our two big dogs for a night and was in touch throughout the time, looked after our house and our five chickens! She’s awesome and we’ll definitely be asking her to sit again!”

About: I have babysat many of my friends pets. I like to take them on walks because not only do they get their exercise I also get mine. I like to play with them and see them be joyful causing me to smile. My parents also own a dog breeding business and as a kid I would help them also so I know quite about dogs (puppies). Hi! I’m a professional caregiver with experience caring for disabled adults and geriatric patients. My work has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attentiveness, and treating every individual with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. I’m also currently pursuing my law degree, and while my career goals are important to me, caring for animals brings me a completely different kind of happiness and joy. I genuinely love being around pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help! I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own. 🐾❤️ I care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also keep their space clean and make sure they receive plenty of companionship and attention. My professional caregiving experience with disabled adults and geriatric patients has taught me to be observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Justise was super flexible and so great at keeping in touch and taking care of my kitties! My senior cat needs to take pills twice a day, so I always feel a bit anxious, but I didn’t have a worry in the world with her. And guess what? After the first night, I found out they were both snuggling up to her! I can’t recommend Justise enough and will definitely use her again :)”
“Trisha was a great dog and house sitter. Our two young dogs were happy to see us come home but it was clear that they had been well taken care of. They ate well, which shows that they weren't stressed about our absence. They had obviously had a lot of attention. I recommend Trish wholeheartedly for anyone else. Karen”
“Jordan watched our fur babies in our home for 11 days. She did an amazing job. The babies were well taken care of as was our home. She returned the home to ready status by doing the bed laundry and leaving no trace. But, the most important was the care and love our wee ones received. I can tell they took to her and were comfortable and at peace while we were away. Knowing that brought great comfort. Thank you Jordan. We really appreciate you.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Similk Beach 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 Similk Beach 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 Similk Beach 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
