“Rhonda is truly the best. Most importantly, shes amazing with animals. I have two dogs and two cats and they arent the easiest to win over. And they all liked her immediately! She was so sweet and worked with us timing wise, sent plenty of pictures and made us feel so much better about going away for the weekend. I'm so happy I found her!”
About: I have house sat for animals owners for years now and have multiple repeat clients. One being a dog with heart failure and another with bladder issues. As of right now I am working morning and am free in the afternoons and evenings. However I plan to be free at all times soon. If needed I can keep my personal animals away from a clients, keeping them on separate floors. I live on a farm so there is plenty of space for dogs to run around
“Sara is awesome! I have booked her twice now - she’s communicative, kind, and great with my boys. She sent lots of pictures and left my house clean. I hope to use her again.”
About: Experiences and dependable! I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and taken care of my own dogs. I am dedicated to keeping pets active, comfortable, and cared for like family while providing owners a stress free mind through reliable communication and care!

I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal schedule. I love to keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is doing well!
“Kaitlyn has been absolutely phenomenal. My pets warmed up to her immediately and absolutely adore her. She is extremely attentive and I feel very confident leaving my senior dog with her. She keeps me updated throughout her stay and sends pictures of my pets while I’m away. She will definitely be my first choice of pet sitter from now on!”
“Kaitlin is amazing! She took great care of my bestie and sent me lots of updates. She is very adaptable and proactive when it comes to problem solving. She provided excellent care for my pup and I couldn’t be more satisfied with her as a sitter!”
About: I have about 2 years of consistent hands-on experience caring for dogs as an adult, in addition to growing up around pets my whole life. I currently take care of my own two dogs, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and overall care. Through my experience, I’ve learned how to understand different dog personalities and adjust to their needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with maintaining routines and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Caring for animals has always been natural to me, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I usually work mornings and get off around 12pm on weekdays and weekends, which leaves me flexible in the afternoons and evenings for pet care. I’m able to adjust my schedule to fit bookings and make sure pets get consistent care and attention. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine with feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, and I also take them on regular walks for exercise. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I always follow any instructions provided. I also send updates so owners feel at ease while their pet is with me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years. My house was always a zoo growing up and we’ve never not had several cats and dogs! I am very responsible and have many years of experience of feeding, walking, and taking care in general of animals. Along with caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for weekends at a time for several local families for the past couple of years. My dog has also had two litters of puppies (10 puppies both times!) within the past 3 years and I have helped raised the puppies both times. My dog was unable to produce milk both pregnancies so I had to bottlefeed all pups everyday until they were able to eat soft food around 5 weeks. So, I have lots of experience dealing with puppies if anybody has a full time job and just needs some extra help with their pups! I am currently home from college for the summer and have full availability! I do not have another job so I am free any day of the week or weekend to care for your sweet pets!! I have three dogs and four cats at my home that I play with all day and night! I frequently take my dogs on walks and to the dog park every day. I also have strollers I put my cats in because they love to be outside as well! I currently have a 5 month old puppy and have completely potty trained her already. While dog sitting, I will take my clients pets out regularly and give them plenty of playing and loving time! If they needed to be crated at night, I will ensure that they are crates but if they don’t need to be then they can sleep with me!:)
About: I have taken care have so many dogs and ages since I was 10. My parents have always had 2 or 3 dogs and neighbors and other family members as well. I would love to just walk them around for hours on end and play with them. I have a lot of flexibility in my day. I’m a part-time job That’s also very flexible towards the end of the week and weekends works best because it gives me even more time to play with your fur babies. I have a backyard and lots of different walking areas to take your fur babies. I also have one dog as well that loves others . But she isn’t home all the time some weekends she’s gone.
“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”
About: I’ve always had a furry friend in my life, whether my own or someone else’s. Walks, treats, runs, and belly rubs have always been part of that routine. A furry friend is always happy to see me coming! I’m a full time student at WKU, however with my classes this semester I almost always have full days! I can provide early morning , afternoon, and evening walks and pop ins! While caring for your fur babies in your home, I’ll make sure you’re always in the loop. With daily photos, short check-ins, and walk summaries, you’ll know exactly what we’re up to. I follow a set checklist and keep everything on schedule, so you can feel confident and informed the whole time.
“My flights got delayed and canceled and I was not able to return home to take care of my pets Until the following day. I am so glad I was able to find Haley. She was able to accommodate me on very short notice. She took great care of my two dogs and I Will definitely call her again when I’m in need of a sitter.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started caring for dogs when I was 10, helping out neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, and bathing their pets. Over the years, that love has only grown. I’ve worked as a dog daycare attendant for the past 2 years and currently work as a veterinary assistant, which has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs and their unique needs. I’m enrolled in vet nursing school because caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I’m currently working part-time and am an online student so I have flexibility in my schedule to ensure that I can care for your pet! Caring for pets in their homes is a responsibility I take seriously. I ensure they have a safe, comfortable environment, maintain their feeding and exercise routines, and provide companionship. Additionally, I adhere to any specific care instructions provided by pet owners, whether it's administering medications, grooming, or extra playtime. My primary goal is to make pets feel secure and loved in their own space while their owners are away.
About: I have over 18 years of personal experience and am so happy to have made a career helping dogs and owners. I am home full time and have the help of my kids, as well as our two dogs. We ❤️ dog psychology and behavior. We provide supervision, exercise and play. Your dog will be interacting with our “pack” of friendly dogs and family.

About: My whole life I’ve always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped my family with our dogs from the time they were puppies. I’ve also had my own dog that had puppies and helped to raise them until they were able to leave! I currently work full time. I have 1 hour during the day and I’m done by 5 everyday! I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets after work, or when I’m off on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard at my apartment with plenty of room for dogs to run around!

FAQs for House Sitting - South Union
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Union. 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 Union 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 Union 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 Union 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.
