“Super grateful for Cortney! She took awesome care of our two doggos while we were gone, and they were super happy and healthy when we came back. Cort sent lots of pictures and texts, and she was really great!”
“Morgan was prompt, engaging and very nice. Our 2 labs seemed to like her and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She provided a thorough update when we returned and you could tell the dogs enjoyed her company. And she took their rambunctious behavior in stride.”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! Before our appointment, she took the time to meet Mona, get familiar with our area, and understand all of her needs. On the day of the appointment, she was punctual, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciate it. Most importantly, Mona was so happy to spend time with her! I highly recommend Sydney and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Sydney!!!”

About: I follow special instructions with care and attentiveness. Have handled huge dogs and small dogs, big dogs are my favorite. Also I had an older dog that takes medication so I know how important that is. You have instructions, I’ll follow them. I have extra time on my hands and have taken care of family/friends pets. I’m a very athletic person and love to take walks in the closest park. Depending on the rules of the house and what owners want their pets to learn. I will do as the owners say at the end of the day.
“Natalie is AMAZING!! She did a meet and greet with us and it was clear from the start how much she loved animals. Aside from instructions, she got on the floor and engaged with our cats. While on our trip, she sent us pictures, videos and updates for all three cats. Eventually, even our shy cat came out and began hanging out in the common area; she made sure to check on him everytime she came over. She was amazing with communicating when she was on her way and heading out, too. While we were gone, she even cleaned up litter from the floor and tidied uo our place. She is phenomenal, we really appreciate Natalie so much!”

About: I’m a very loving individual and you will see that. I steered into the Medical Field for a little but my heart is in animals and giving them the attention they need. I have worked at Rover Oaks as a Doggie Daycare attendant. From being bitten to having snuggling moments, I wouldn’t change my thought or reconsider any animal that I’ve taken care of. I have had animals my whole life. No dog/cat is too much for me. I love each one! I give baths and clip nails. As well as I can give medications if needed. I will be going to school to become a Vet Tech Assistant next year. I am CPR certified. I would be honored to take care and give love to your animals. I’m ready to meet your furry friends!
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs and have experience looking after them with lots of love, patience, and attention. Dogs truly are (wo)man’s best friend, and I’d be happy to give your furry family member the care, cuddles, playtime, and companionship they deserve! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine because I live with dogs and care for them every day. I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced-in area where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air. I also have calm, friendly dogs who are comfortable around other pets. If you prefer your dog to stay in their own home, I’m also happy to provide care at your house so they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Monic is SO amazing and so down to earth! 💜🐶💜🐱She house sat for me and prior to that spoke with me and got to know my pets to figure out a schedule that provided the love and care closest to my furbabies normal every day routine!

About: With over 10 years of hands-on cat care experience, I’ve learned to understand and respect each cat’s unique personality and comfort level. I’m experienced in caring for and gently training kittens, as well as providing attentive support for senior cats who need extra patience and care. My home is always clean, calm, and cat-friendly — a peaceful environment that helps pets feel safe and relaxed. I maintain a high standard of hygiene by cleaning food and water bowls daily, scooping litter boxes every day, and doing a deep clean of all litter boxes once a week. I also pay close attention to details like eating habits, litter box use, and behavior changes, ensuring every cat stays happy and healthy. What sets me apart is my calm energy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering warmth, patience, and thoughtful care every step of the way. I’m currently a full-time homemaker, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most afternoons and can easily adjust my time to fit your cat’s routine and needs. Your pet will always have my full attention and care. When caring for cats in my home, I make sure they have a calm, quiet, and clean environment with plenty of cozy spots to rest. I keep their space safe and stress-free, maintaining a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and litter cleaning. Food and water bowls are washed daily, litter boxes are scooped every day, and I do a full deep clean once a week. I also spend quality time with each cat — gentle brushing, soft play, and peaceful companionship. When I visit a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care as my own. I follow each cat’s usual schedule closely, keep their area tidy, and make sure they always have fresh water, clean bowls, and a comfortable space. I send regular updates with photos or messages, so you always know your cat is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Throughout my life, I have been fortunate enough to have pets—including Bull Terriers, Schnauzers, French Poodles, and cats—caring for them from the time they were babies until they passed away in their old age. This experience has allowed me to enjoy their company and learn to recognize the unique needs of each pet; I am highly responsible regarding their diet, medication, activities, and necessary outings. I am available part-time: Tuesdays through Fridays from 5:00 PM onwards, and Saturdays through Mondays around the clock, including overnight stays and in- my home care I have space—including a yard—as well as the time and ability to provide care in my own home, but I am also available to provide care, walks, and activities at the pet's home! I have my own transportation.
“Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Simonton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Simonton. 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 Simonton 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 Simonton 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 Simonton 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.
