About: I've I've been fortunate to have had many animal companions throughout my life, growing up with both dogs and cats from the age of four. 🥰 Through caring for family and friends' pets over the years, I've gained experience with a variety of sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies and seniors. Availability 🗓️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your individual needs and fur baby's routine any day of the week : ) Booking With Me 🌟 You can expect plenty of playtime and snuggles to help ease your pets' time away from you, and I'm always happy to send regular photo & video updates so you can stay connected. ♥️ I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Joi was an amazing sitter. Our dog had a health emergency while we were away and she handled it calmly and with great care. She kept us informed and kept our baby safe. It involved spending hours in the vet emergency room and then monitoring the patient every two hours. We are so grateful for her calm and caring.”
“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
“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 have always loved animals of all kinds, and I will ensure your furry friends are treated as if they were my own.

I have an extremely flexible schedule so I can adapt to whatever routine you and your pets are used to, whether that's early morning walks or late night feedings. I can do it all with ease. I will abide by any and all rules you have for both your house and your pets and I will make sure they are followed to the strictest interpretation.
“This was our first time having Sherine over to stay with our pets. She did an amazing job. Everything was in perfect order when we returned and most importantly, our pets were very well taken care of. We will be seeing Sherine again!! 😀”
“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!”
“Allison was amazing with our girls Milli and Maxi. She was responsive with all her replies, our special requests and we felt at ease with Allison taling care of our girls at home. The babies always had big smiles and were always very relaxed. Thanks for all the updates and a great job all around. The girls look forward to her next visit.”
“We had an outstanding experience with Judy. Received regular photos and updates which gave complete peace of mind.Our furry friend was happy, comfortable and loved. Judy on personal front is a very kind and sweet lady! Extremely reliable ,caring and professional , highly recommend and will definitely book again 😊♥️”
About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet lover with 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to provide thoughtful, individualized care for each pet I meet. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience with pets of all ages, including senior dogs who may require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I offer a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible. From playtime and exercise to medication administration and quiet companionship, I provide mindful, dependable care tailored to your pet's needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving care they deserve! I am a recent college graduate that is figuring out next steps, so I have a flexible schedule currently to meet your needs. Overnight care or frequent stops during the day are no problem. While petsitting or pet-walking, I follow the lead of the pet owner. Pets are children and deserve to be treated how their owners desire. Also, I want to limit change to their environment as much as possible to create a stress-free and safe environment.
“Trusted Karina with our dogs! Missed them tremendously but assured they were in good hands. Appreciated the pictures during our trip, that was a plus!! Will definitely use her again!!”
“Tuongvi took care of my two yorkies in my home for three nights and she was great! She was communicative, responsive, and punctual from the get go from when we had a meet and greet. Her partner and she both asked questions about the dogs to understand them and the request. I asked for updates at least twice a day as this was the first time she has helped me and she did not hesitate and I didn't feel she was impatient with me. I felt she was understanding that I was going to be more involved initially and periodic updates with photos would be reassuring for me to feel that both her and the dogs were doing fine. Tuongvi and her partner also left my place in good condition. I would recommend her and would be appreciative to have her look after my pups again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including my own. I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets through feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight dog sitting. Since my own dogs are older, I’m especially patient and attentive with senior dogs, but I also enjoy the energy and care that puppies need. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available Sunday through Friday during daytime hours, with Friday availability until around 3 PM. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and daytime pet care in clients’ homes. I currently provide pet care services in clients’ homes only so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I always try to create a calm, safe, and caring atmosphere while following each pet’s specific needs and instructions carefully. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs that may need extra gentle care.
“Maria was so awesome while we were out of town. She stayed with our babies and sent us videos and pictures everyday! I knew they were well taken care of in our absence. I highly recommend her if you need extra love for your fur babies. It is nice to know we have someone we trust with our home and babies.”
“Amazing! Did a wonderful job taking care of the dogs. She gave them so much love, play, and care while we were gone. She also kept me up to date sending videos, photos, and a description of the day. Will definitely continue booking with Jasmine!”

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: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life! We had a family dog when I was growing up and I would house/ pet sit for my neighbors when they would go out of town. I currently have three fur babies. A 2 year old Cane Corso/ Stafford Terrier named Moose, a 2 year old pit bull mix named Oakley and a cat named Romeo! Having three animals under one roof has been quite the experience but I’ve loved every moment of the chaos. Since I currently work from home full time I’m available Monday- Sunday most weeks and my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. Working from home allows me to keep a close eye on your baby and adhere to whatever potty break or play schedule you have set.

I'll work with their feeding, exercise, playtime, and daily schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease.

FAQs for House Sitting - Simonton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,258 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.
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 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 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 Simonton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
