Phenomenal job with our 12-week old puppy and 2 cats. It was a lot of work but she sure took care of them all with lots of care. She gave me updates and followed all the instructions. Would recommend and definitely boon again!

Bri was fantastic! Our pup Tater Tot got sick and Bri did a great job supporting him, ensuring we had all the details in case we needed to relay them to the vet, cleaning up after his tummy issues and more. Would absolutely recommend

Rose did an outstanding job taking care of our 5 year old doodle! We appreciated the daily updates that included pictures & videos. Rose also took very good care of our house while we were away. We were so impressed with her care & attention to details, that we are booking her again in the next month.

Best of the best! When we came back both cats told us that they don't actually want to see us and asked to bring the lady back! Both Linus and Sophie loved Kathy and it seems to me it was a resort for them: they were brushed, fed, could request water from the faucet whenever they want, and many other nice things. Ask Linus who he wants to stay with for a while: his mama with no dad or Kathy. I guarantee he will choose Kathy!

Becky was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and took great care of our husky while we went camping for a week. She gave us frequent photo updates and let us know if she had questions about anything. She even washed her sheets before she left! We would definitely ask her to watch the dog and house for us again.

Took great care of my pets-took them on lots of walks and cuddles! Gave me updates about them several times daily. Felt like my dogs had so much fun while I was gone. Came home to cute little photos on the counter of all of them as an extra surprise! Dog person through and through-would recommend and use again!

We were completely at ease throughout Diane's time caring for our dogs and home. When we first connected, Diane was warm and responsive, and it was clear that she was someone who has a genuine love for animals. Diane did an incredible job caring for Annie, Charlie and Winston, WOW! She made sure the dogs were well exercised, happy, and had plenty of attention and affection. The most important thing Diane provided us was peace of mind. When we returned home, our home was calm and cared for, and we had three very happy pups! We would not hesitate to recommend Diane or to use her again for caring for our dogs or our home. She provides top-notch care, is reliable, thoughtful, and a person we would trust 100% to care for our home and pets. Thank you again Diane 💛

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals. When I was 14, I begged my parents for a dog, and they finally gave in. I was so excited! I got another dog when I was 18. My first dog had some health issues, like inconsistent urination and alopecia, which helped me learn how to administer medication. In the past few years, I’ve been cat-sitting for family and friends, and I absolutely love spending time with cats during the day! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I work primarily in the evenings, which allows me to provide morning and daytime visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am also available for overnight house sitting and can stay with your pets to help maintain their normal routine and provide comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they feel secure in their familiar environment. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of my own Siberian husky for 5 years and have also cared for other clients’ dogs for over 2 years. I’m comfortable with large or highly energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience and consistency. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there! I currently do not offer pet boarding in my home, but I’m more than happy to visit clients’ homes for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight stays if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while you’re away.

About: Our family has been providing top quality dog sitting services on Rover for the past three years and I personally have been providing drop-in services privately for about the past year. We have a sweet dog that is 10 years old and have also fostered service dogs in the past as well. When I do drop-ins, I take the time needed to make sure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of while you are away. I will share photos and follow your personalized instructions which we can discuss when we have a meet & greet. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat and understanding your individual pet care needs. Let's set up a meet & greet so you can get to know me and I can learn more about your pet!

Tiana was really wonderful. This was the first time we had booked with her for a house sitting and pet sitting. She was professional, kind, very communicative and really took great care of our babies. She sent photos, videos and updates regularly in just 24 hours. She proactively brought in our mail. Our home and our 3 pets were very well cared for. We most certainly will book with her again and encourage you to do the same!

Lauren is the sweetest. My dog loves her. She stayed the weekend at my house, and was prompt, communicative, sent photo updates each morning, and left the house spotless. My dog and cat seemed relaxed and happy when I returned which tells me they got plenty of love and attention.

About: I’ve taken care of small to medium dogs since I was 13 with my very own pup. She just passed 7 months ago but lived a good 14 years with us. In her old age is where it was challenging but that was where I learned to better care for my pet gentle and constant attention. I work from home so there is constant watch I can give your dog from frequent poddie breaks to punctual walks , all to give the best care . I only do one pet at a time my apartment has two dog parks offered for your pal to meet new friends and play as well as my favorite trail to go on walks with for both of our needed daily exercise

About: My attention to detail and compassionate care cant be beat! Whether it's specific meal times, medications, a preference of long walks or short, playtime, lots of pets and belly rubs or a bit more space, Ill be attuned to every different personality and their needs! Their safety and comfort is always my top priority. Ive been a nurse for 13 years. I take pride in how I show up and care for my patients and your sweet furry babies deserve nothing less and will always get the very best care with me😊 My schedule is open and pretty flexible for the remainder of the year. Spending my time caring for your pet will add so much more joy to my days and I hope to theirs, too! While I can't offer pet sitting in my own home, I'm happy to do so in yours. This also allows your fur babies to stay as comfy and cozy as possible in the environment they already feel the most safe in while you're away😊

About: I’ve basically grown up caring for animals — I started bottle‑feeding foster puppies and kittens when I was about six, so I have roughly 15 years of hands‑on experience. I currently have five pets of my own and have been pet- and house‑sitting for neighbors and family friends for 5+ years. I’m comfortable with very young animals (bottle feeding, socialization, scheduled feedings), puppies, and senior pets. I’m reliable, attentive to each pet’s routine, and treat every animal as if they were my own — whether that means long energetic walks, supervised play, or quiet care for a recovering or older pet. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I am available for check ins, walks and over nights/ house sitting as needed! I adapt to each pet’s routine and home rules so they stay comfortable and stress‑free. In the pet’s home: - Follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, play, and rest exactly. - Use provided leashes, harnesses, crates, and medications; administer meds and record times. - Keep pets on lead when going outside, pick up waste, and clean food/water bowls after meals. - Provide enrichment: play, short training/reinforcement sessions, and supervised free time. - Maintain safety: secure doors/gates, remove hazards, and monitor interactions with people/other animals. - Send regular photo/text updates and note any changes in appetite, behavior, or health. - Lock up and leave the home as found; water plants/mail as requested.

Carlos was fantastic once again! We always feel completely comfortable having him house and dog sit for Lady and Beau. He was very communicative throughout the stay and kept us updated with cute photos of the dogs, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Carlos and will definitely be reaching out to him again!

FAQs for House Sitting - South Coyote

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 3,137 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Coyote. 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 Coyote 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 Coyote 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 Coyote 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 South Coyote. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
