About: i’ve had animals my whole life ranging all types of dogs! mainly pits and boxers, i’m very patient and understanding my dogs are a handful themselves lol! so i have seen it all! i currently work at the airport full time and part time as a track and field coach but every morning all animals are cared for before i leave the house and right as i get home! my pets are very free, they have a good size backyard and a gravity feeder, my cats and dogs get along extremely well! they play together and sleep together and i’ve trained my dogs to know what play is okay with my cats and they caught on very quickly!
“Chloe arrived with a big smile and Kuma was taking a walk, when he got close to her he gave the once over and gave his approval. They both got along well. We appreciate Chloe making the time to sit with Kuma giving us the opportunity to meet up with friends and a cruise. If ever in the area again we would certainly book her again! Thank You Chloe!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals. They have always been apart of my life. I had 10 dogs at once for about 4 years. I am very patient and understanding. Good with any puke, poop and pee, it doesn’t bother me. Love dogs and will do any special things that need done. I am currently an Eastern Student and have class from 9-12 and work part time at safeway from about 1-7 as of right now. I am planning on doing online class starting in January and planning on working like 8am-2pm at Safeway starting in December. So I will be more flexible in the coming months. Can do early morning and late nights if needed I will keep things clean and tidy while in others home. Will take dog on leash if not fenced in. Will make sure dog has food and water if they aren’t schedule fed.
“This is the second time we’ve had Jackie sit for our animals. She does a fantastic job and is extremely trustworthy. We will use her services again in the future!”
“Emily took good care of our 2 dogs and turtle while we were gone for an 8 day trip. Although I would have loved to have more updates and a bit more dog walks, our animals were well cared for and seemed very happy. She administered meds to my old dog as requested and brought in the mail. She seems to love animals and communicated very well.”
“Sophia is absolutely amazing! Great communication and sent all the pictures of the fur kids when I was away. My little pack absolutely loved her and my cat has always ran from strangers but my cat hasn’t left her side. Will book again and already hoping to book her again for my next upcoming trip.”
“Tierra was very good to work with and the dogs just loved her. We will use her again. She stayed at our home and sent pictures and updates on the dogs. She also let us know if she had a concern.”
“Lexi is everything we wanted in a dog and house sitter. Kind, smart, mature and committed to the loving care we so want for our dogs to have while we were away! We received daily updates and photos of our pups, along with reassuring words that all was well. She got them out as often as we'd asked, and she cleaned up the yard regularly. Plus she clearly loved our dogs! We had complete confidence with her and highly recommend her to anyone needing dog or house sitting. We're super bummed she'll be moving out of state as we'd love to hire her in the future, but if you're looking for a sitter who will care for your dogs and home as much as you do, look no further. A true 5 star sitter!”
“Meredith was available for the Fourth of July holiday weekend which I appreciated very much. During our meet and greet, it was apparent Meredith has a very calm demeanor. Perfect for one of my pups who is a lil anxious. My fur babes took to Meredith right away, and she sent me pictures of them canoodling on her lap. Thank you so much!”
“I can't say enough how much I appreciate and love Ashten & Shelby! They did amazing with my pup as always and even earned some kitty cuddles which is very rare for my cats when they're around strangers. as an employee of Rover, this is the experience i hope for all Rover users”
“Carla did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our 18 year old dog. Our dog has a lot of quirks and special needs and Carla was very understanding and took great care of her. Highly recommended!”
“She did a great job with our two crazy dogs and put up with us asking for pictures everyday. The house was clean when we got home and both of our dogs seemed like they had a great time!”
“Jocelyn is truly wonderful in every way. She recently stayed with my cat, Squeaky Pete, for four days, and from our very first meet‑and‑greet I felt completely at ease. Throughout her stay she was communicative, thoughtful, and sent the sweetest updates and photos of Petey — I didn’t feel a single moment of anxiety while I was away. When I came home, everything was spotless and perfectly in place… honestly, even cleaner than when I left. And the best part? Petey has actually been looking around for her, which says everything about how much he enjoyed their time together and the care she gave him. He requires an inhaler twice a day, and Jocelyn handled it safely, gently, and with total confidence. Knowing he was in such capable hands gave me so much peace of mind. I recommend Jocelyn wholeheartedly. Both Petey and I look forward to working with her again and again — she’s truly a gem.”
“Suzanne kept me in the know with my puppy daily and quick to respond. She and my pup got along very well and was well taken care of as well as the house itself. I recommend Suzanne to housesit for your furry friend! Thanks Suzanne ❤️”
“Joy was a great sitter for our energetic pup and a good steward with our 121 yr old home!! It was fun seeing pics of her interacting with our WitchHazel, and the the house was just as clean as when we’d left it! Looking forward to calling upon her in the future! Highly recommend her”

Sydney was great!! I have huskies, so they are very active, plus they are spoiled rotten, and she was kind and loving. First time I have ever left my boys with a house sitter and when we got back they saw us, got their movies and went back to letting her pet them. They were well taken care of. She did send one Pic, to let me know how they were doing. But in fairness, I did text her daily asking for updates. So, she even put up with the overprotective dog mom. I will absolutely be inviting her back.
Chloe arrived with a big smile and Kuma was taking a walk, when he got close to her he gave the once over and gave his approval. They both got along well. We appreciate Chloe making the time to sit with Kuma giving us the opportunity to meet up with friends and a cruise. If ever in the area again we would certainly book her again! Thank You Chloe!
This is our second time having Naomi housesit for our two senior chihuahua mixes. They are particular about humans and they clearly like Naomi! She took wonderful care of them and kept us updated the entire time we were away. We look forward to having her watch them again next time we go away.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Cheney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 611 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Cheney. 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 South Cheney 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 South Cheney 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 South Cheney 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.

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.
