About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and treat every guest like my own. My home is calm, safe, and filled with love. There’s no holiday rate😊 【It is all about companionship🪀🐈🐈‍⬛ & Safty🔛】 As a full-time "work-at-home" artist🎨 & Cats-aholic😍🐱 & a childfree woman🧑🏼‍🎨, it also makes me well-suited to be a full-time cat🐱 sitter. So here I am🙋‍♀️! Welcome to a quiet, artist-owned private home designed as a peaceful retreat for cats. With a spacious garden and three cozy rooms, this is a serene haven where feline guests can truly unwind. Most cats love sitting by the windows or large glass patio doors, watching the birds and squirrels that visit the fruit trees outside. Sometimes, friendly neighborhood cats even stop by to say hello.

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life; at both houses we had at least 3 cats and 3 dogs at a time with the occasional hamster, rat, snake, or rabbit. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters, and have helped raised two litters (one was kittens, the other was puppies). Having a wide variety of animals introduced me to a wide array of personality types from friendly and cuddly to moody or shy. These experiences have taught me to have an abundance of patience and understanding, and to be able to adapt to individual needs. The animals I’ve watched/raised/trained have been all different breeds and sizes; from a 3 pound chihuahua to a 85 pound German/Pitt mix. I’ve taken care of older dogs, who need extra care, as well as sick dogs and/or dogs with preexisting conditions who require medications once, twice, or three times a day. Not only have I helped with my animals, but I’ve watched other peoples houses/pets as well. I’m pretty much a homebody, so aside from a couple hours each day, I’m available and flexible and can hangout with your pets for as long as you need. I’m a great communicator too, so if an issue were to arise, I will reach out right away because your pet’s health and well-being is my top priority. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is open and flexible. I do prefer a couple of days of notice in advanced, unless it’s an emergency. I will take care of your pet however you need me to. When it comes your pets health and well-being, I know you know what’s best, and I will never disrespect your wants or needs. If you need me to house sit, I will respect your property. I’m very neat, organized, and clean (slightly OCD) so I would never leave a mess.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

About: Currently working from home full time! I own a 4 year old shihtzu terrier named Cooper. He’s a super friendly little guy who gets a long with basically any dog. On my free time I enjoy taking my dog to dog parks and interacting with other dog owners. I have experience handling all types of dogs and sizes. Seeing a dog's tail wag super fast is one of my joys! Aside from working and loving dogs, I do enjoy being a foodie and eating at the newest hot spots that open up. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know about me! Working from home full time so I can drop in to walk your dog during the day time if needed! Otherwise usually available weekends as well. I live in a apartment complex on the first floor so there is some room for your dog to roam around. There is also a dog park nearby.

Wendy was wonderful. She cared for Bentley as if he was her own. I received daily text updates along with pictures and videos. It look about a day and a half for a Bentley to get comfortable but it sounded like they became the best of friends. I hope to have her stay again as she made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care.

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine, and I have over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I've worked as a veterinary assistant in multiple settings, including a feline-focused practice and a facility that specialized in dog boarding and walking. These experiences taught me how to safely handle animals with different personalities, energy levels, medical needs, and comfort levels. Because of my veterinary background, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, stress, discomfort, and potential health concerns. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and positive interactions, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, playtime, medication support, extra attention, or simply a calm and reliable companion, I'll treat them with the same love and respect I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.

About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking

About: As a pet sitter, my experience revolves around maintaining a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable environment for pets while their owners are away. The day typically begins with feeding according to the pet's dietary schedule, ensuring that water bowls are always filled with fresh water. Regular walks and playtime are essential to keep the pets physically active and mentally engaged. Beyond basic care, I also take time to bond with the pets, offering companionship, affection, and positive reinforcement to ease any anxiety they might feel from their owner's absence. My goal is not only just to take care for the pet, but also to make sure they feel loved and secure until their family returns. Both me and my wife are self-employed and working from home full time. We have plenty of time to walk with the dogs at least two times a day, and play with them throughout the day. I don't have my own pets in the home right now. I have a fenced yard that can prevent pets run away. I always check my surrounding before I opened the door make sure no pets can run out. I always keep the leash on while I am walking the dog.

About: You can rest assured your furry friend will be in capable hands! I’ve cared for two dogs of my own—one since puppy age to old age, and I currently have a 2yr old pup. I enjoy training dogs/believe this is a great way for bonding. I also enjoy being active and playing or taking dogs on walks. I work full time Monday through Friday, therefore weekends are the best if your dog requires round the clock care. If your dog just needs a morning walk and attention in the evening after I am off work, then I can look after them any day of the week. Personally, I like to keep dogs to their daily routine if possible. I do have a 2 year old dog who is very playful and loves to make new friends. Your furry friend would be coming along on our morning and evening walks and a part of before bed playtime!

About: After attending the University of Nevada, Reno for a BS in Veterinary Science I continued to work at various vet clinics over the last 5 years from general practice to specialty hospitals working in the oncology, cardiology, ER, ICU, and other various departments. I’ve gained a lot of pet care experience over the years including giving injections, providing medications to pets, and other various general practices in making sure the pets are taken care of. I’m currently unemployed and just looking to fill my time with an aspect of my life that I hold dear to me which is the care of our furry friends :) My schedule is open and free for the time being. I’m willing to accommodate to your needs and scheduling preferences however you see fit! <3 I’m currently still living at my family house so I would be unable to attend to pets here. But I’m open to drop off care and in home pet sitting at the clients home.

Mariane took wonderful care of my dog, Linus, over the Fourth of July weekend. Like many dog owners, I was especially concerned about the fireworks and how he would handle them. Throughout his four-day stay, Mariane sent thoughtful updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Linus was understandably a little scared during the fireworks, but seeing how patient, comforting, and attentive she was reassured me that he was in the best hands. It was clear he felt safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and attention Mariane gave him. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Linus again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable dog sitter.

Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.

We have booked Francis multiple times since last year to look after our 2 pets, 1 dog and 1 cat. Our cat needs daily medication for seizures and Francis is diligent about the schedule. Recently, our dog was diagnosed with diabetes and we were apprehensive about leaving her since she now needs insulin injections twice a day. Francis provided incredible care when our dog wasn’t feeling her best, and even spent time to show us some tips and tricks to manage her condition. We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our pets.

Alex was absolutely wonderful with our three animals (two dogs and a cat) and we couldn't recommend him more highly! He was attentive, communicative, and clearly a natural with pets. He went above and beyond in so many ways: he took our dogs on an extra walk after dinner, and when our senior dog got tired, he thoughtfully brought her home to rest while keeping our younger pup out to burn more energy. That kind of awareness and care for each animal's individual needs really stood out to us. He sent plenty of updates throughout the day which gave us total peace of mind, and when we got home the house was just as clean as we left it. All three animals loved him, which says everything. We'll definitely be booking Alex again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sorenson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Sorenson on Rover is $43.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,649 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sorenson. 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 Sorenson 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 Sorenson 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 Sorenson 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 Sorenson. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
