“Olivia is a conscientious, clean, no issues caretaker for our doggies. She adapted to the different habits of the dogs and happily accepted their different quirks. We heartily recommend her to anyone needing overnight/stay in help.”
“Tessa was great! The pets loved her and got lots of picturs. She followed all the directions to the T, and left the place cleane than she found it! I have rebooked her already!”
“Rae is absolutely amazing! We love our dog dearly, but he can be a real handful—high energy, impulsive, and incredibly excitable, especially around new people. Before we even left, Rae had him calmly resting at her feet while she worked on her laptop. She somehow tuned into his personality right away, and even taught him a few new tricks! Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and it was clear she truly understood him in a way that was both insightful and observant. Rae is a true dog whisperer! We’ve never felt as at ease leaving him with someone as we did with her. On a scale of 1 to 10, Rae is an 11. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from smaller pets like dogs and cats when I was younger to today where I help care for goats and alpacas on my family farm. I also have a young puppy of my own that I’ve been training, so I’m very familiar with routine building and patience when it comes to animals! Currently I am a college student so I am very flexible to work over breaks when I home whether that be weekends or weekdays, day or night! Though I am not available to care for animals in my own home, I will make it a priority to make them as comfortable as possible in yours! Wheather that be crating them, sticking with routines such as feeding, walking, or any other special instructions you leave me, so that your pet can feel consistent and comfortable while you are gone!
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sonya provided while we were away! She took amazing care of our dog, giving him lots of love, attention, and exercise, and it was clear he was very comfortable and happy in her hands. Our home was spotless when we returned. Sonya kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is responsible, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime!”
“Excellent experience! This was the first time leaving our pets, two of them elderly, with someone other than family. We came home to relaxed happy pets! Christin “Sal” checked in with us daily and let us know all was well. I will most certainly use Sal again!!”
“We two humans, along with Felix-the Dog, all feel like we made a new friend in Kathleen! Felix, who is not always sure about new people he meets, immediately took to Kathleen when she came to our home for a meet-and-greet. Kathleen sensed Felix’s apprehension and quickly put him at ease with her calm, affectionate, low-key response. On the basis of our visit, we mutually agreed to have Kathleen stay with Felix a few days later while we enjoyed a quick 24-hour getaway. While we were away, we had good, clear communication by text message. Although we were delayed getting home, Kathleen volunteered to stay until we returned so she could give us a verbal report, which we appreciated very much. When she left, Felix’s dejected body-language showed he was sad to see her go; clearly he had enjoyed her company. We look forward with confidence to having Kathleen stay with Felix again.”

“Brittany was great ! She promptly responded to my last minute request for a dog sitter - I was so happy to hear she had last minute availability! She took the time to stop by my house to meet me and my dog Heiki before I left :) I was across the country for 4 nights, comforted by the fact that she was the one taking care of heiki. She was thoughtful in sending me plenty of pictures updates of them on walks, chillin on the couch, and my favorite - Heiki wiped out, sleeping on the couch as he does after a day full day of adventure !! I hope that when I am in need of a dog sitter again, Brittany has availability because Heiki and I would love to have her dog sit again :) Thanks Brittany !”
About: I personally have 2 dogs, the oldest is 15 years old this year and still healthy! I’m highly communicative, detail-oriented, and genuinely treat every dog like my own. I pay close attention to routines, energy levels, and comfort, and I always keep owners updated with photos and notes so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I’m currently working on app development for my own business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my days around pet care and be available whenever your pet needs attention, walks, or check-ins. I treat every pet like my own. I stick to their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, keep spaces clean and secure, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Sutton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 232 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Sutton. 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 Sutton 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 Sutton 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 Sutton 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
