“Not everyone is comfortable with big dogs - so it was so great that we found Dominique to house sit with our boys (GS and GS/Lab mix)! They were in love with her, following her around the house wanting all her attention. I especially liked the long walks she took then on each day. She even got our one dog, Kailo. to go a farther distance than usual and kept up with Koda (energy of a puppy)! Thanks, Dominique!”
“Andrea is a dream dog whisperer. Our little elderly pup had a wonderful experience with Andrea while we were gone. We got daily updates about their walks and adventures which is something I really appreciated while being away. And, we came back to a very happy dog at the end of our travels. We will definitely work with Andrea again!”
“Melissa takes wonderful care of our dog and it's a relief knowing she's in good hands while we are gone. She's a great communicator and understands our sensitive dog's needs.”
“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
About: I have five years of experience providing dependable house and pet sitting for multiple families, including stays of up to three weeks at a time. I understand how important it is to know that both your pets and your home are in good hands while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even a ferret! I provide loving, attentive care to every furry friend, while also taking care of household needs like watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping an eye on the home. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their families peace of mind. After a career as an engineer and geologist with the State of California, I’m happily retired and enjoying a flexible schedule. When I’m not fan-girling over rocks or spending time at the bowling alley, I’m probably fan-girling over someone’s furry friend! Retirement gives me plenty of time to provide attentive pet care, and I can accommodate most schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own pets.
About: Beyond my thrilling experiences taking care of, and providing fun/enrichment for, a wide variety of animals throughout most of my life, I quickly get tuned into an individual pet's needs. While continuous learning means always researching more about any animals under my care, I also understand that proper care is more beneficial by trying to bond with your pet. But I promise I won't try to become their most favorite person! :-) I have been working remotely as an independent consultant but without any new full-time contracts recently. While still pursuing part-time remote work (contracts or employment), I wanted to maximize my additional time towards supporting pet parents who need a sitter, dog walker, or anything else for their pets that I can provide. As I have a free-roam house rabbit of my own, I can only care for pets at a client's home. (Or on walks, at the dog park, or elsewhere as reasonably requested/permitted by the client.) Your pet's care & safety, comfort, and enrichment are my top priorities.
“We could not have asked for a better house and pet sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pets were in such caring, capable hands. Communication was excellent — we received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made us feel connected while away. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals. Natasha’s level of professionalism, reliability, kindness, and genuine care was truly exceptional. She really went above and beyond for us and managed everything so well. We would absolutely recommend Natasha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their home and pets. Five stars is not enough — she exceeded every expectation, and we will happily book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Amieliana was great with our pups. She was very attentive to their needs and very responsive to messages. I felt completely at ease on our trip knowing they were well taken care of.”
About: I absolutely adore animals. They’ve been an integral part of my life for a long time! I’ve had many overnight jobs taking care of cats and dogs for family friends or neighbors. From changing the litter box regularly to taking the dog on long walks! I’ve dealt with many senior dogs and some puppies. I am currently a student at the junior college but I am willing to work in times to walk or watch your pets. My schedule at the moment is pretty open so contact me for further details! Not only do I take care of animals with their physical needs but also emotional. I’ll make sure your pet is given what it needs when you’re away! All the pets and cuddles (if they enjoy that).
About: I’ll treat you, your pet(s), and your space with the same respect I would want my pets and space treated. I’ve been helping family and friends with pet care for over 20 years with some uncertified training where needed (mostly leash control and recall with excited doggos). I’m currently between jobs, and my schedule is wide open. I’m available for same day bookings, and happy to schedule things out for recurring service if that’s a good fit. I will treat your home with the same respect that I would want my home treated with. I will follow the instructions that are given without improvising.
“Benjamin pet sit for our dog Willa for a week. He took great care of her and our home, sent daily photo updates and was very easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend him to others and are planning to use his services in the future when he is available.”
About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for over 30 years, and I understand that our pets are truly members of the family. Whether they’re playful, affectionate, independent, shy, or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. I have extensive personal experience caring for both dogs and cats and appreciate their unique personalities and needs. From energetic dogs who love attention and companionship to independent cats who prefer affection on their own terms, I enjoy building trust and helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a registered nurse, I bring an additional level of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m experienced in following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or well-being. I understand how especially important this can be for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide the same warmth, respect, and attentiveness I would want for my own pets, while keeping you connected through regular updates, photos, and open communication. Whether your furry family member needs companionship, playtime, reassurance, or simply a calm and caring presence, I would love the opportunity to get to know them! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care around each animal’s individual needs. I enjoy peaceful environments, spending time with animals, and maintaining familiar routines. I believe consistency and companionship make a meaningful difference in helping pets feel comfortable while their families are away. I prefer to discuss each pet’s schedule, personality, and care requirements in advance so I can make sure we’re a wonderful fit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and entrust them with a beloved family member. As a registered nurse, I’m accustomed to maintaining safe environments, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to changes that may require additional care or communication. I respect each household’s routines, boundaries, and preferences. I take care to maintain a clean, peaceful environment, secure doors and gates, and follow feeding, medication, and household instructions carefully. I believe in open communication and will provide updates and photos throughout our time together. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and a home that has been treated with care and respect.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats & other pets since I was a teenager. I can also take care of other pets if necessary. Thanks! I am very flexible with my availability. Being outside with nature is necessary for my well being so pet care is second nature to me. I will take great care of your fur bbs in your home. I will give them pets, snuggles, food & play with them! I will be present with your pets while you are away to ease their separation anxiety & make sure they have the proper care.
“Karen was so wonderful with our dog, Lila. Lila is shy, and elderly with special needs. Karen won her over and took excellent care of her. Karen is responsible, flexible and communicates well. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures she sent. We highly recommend Karen.”
“First time to use Rover for in home dog sitting. Rissa stayed with our finicky dog for 10 days and quickly won his heart. Rissa was flexible and quickly solved the unexpected issues. Her dog care background benefitted our dog and she added to his toy collection with toys he greatly appreciated. Rissa also took wonderful care of our house and garden in the midst of a heatwave. I fully appreciate and recommend Rissa and Rover.com.”
“Nikki was wonderful! I needed last minute care for my two pups, and she made time to stop by and meet us first. I ended up having to return home a day early for work and Nikki was understanding. She took great care of both the dogs and our home. We’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Trey watched our 20 y.o. girl for the day. Our dog is elderly and becoming special needs; she wears diapers, is incontinent, and requires to be lifted in order to go to her peepee spot. Trey took care of her without any issues. He was communicative and--most importantly--had really positive energy when it came to his interactions with us and our pup. He even stayed an hour later than the original booking since I was running late to get home. I would recommend him.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sousa Corners
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog June. Monica was reliable, kind and sent great photo updates everyday that gave me a total piece of mind while I was away. June was happy and relaxed when I got home. My house was also left nice and clean. I will definitely book with Monica again!
This was our second time having Melissa watch our two dogs, we've been very pleased with the treatment and attention our animals receive when in her care. We hope that before long our dogs will love her as much as they love us. Will definitely re-book with Melissa in the future.
Micki came right away for the first interview. When it was time to pet it, she even arrived a bit early. Paid close attention to all instructions, and there were a lot. Texted photos while I was gone. When I arrived home, the house and pets were in good order and she even stripped the sheets and put them in the washer! Extra points for that.

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 Sousa Corners 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 Sousa Corners 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 Sousa Corners 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.

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.
