“Rhonda was absolutely wonderful. She made sure our fur babies were well taken care of. She sent us daily updates and photos. I will definitely be using her over and over again.”
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
About: I’ve been a pet parent for almost my entire life. I’m also a nurse and a certified wildlife rehabber. I love all the critters and seeing them happy and cared for. I’m currently working part time on Mondays and Tuesdays, but intend to make pet sitting my full time job. I also volunteer at a wildlife rescue part time during the week. For the most part, I’m pretty flexible. I have a fenced in yard for stays at my house. I’m happy to cater to your pets needs at their home as well. I have my own senior dog, so I’m accustomed to spoiling.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 6 years and you can count on me to be reliable and caring. I’m great with all kinds of animals and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I am in graduate school but only have class for 3 hours in the morning and clinic 2 day a week so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I will be willing to take dogs on walks and play with all animals and make sure they are happy and fed. I love all animals and would be willing to follow daily activities you partake in with your pets!
“Paula was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and cats during an in-home stay. The pets were happy and well-loved, and the house and cars looked perfect when we got back. Highly recommend!”
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.
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and reptiles of all types. Dogs have always held a special place in my life and since I do not have one of my own right now I would love to help others take care of theirs. Have had many different breeds in my household throughout my life and am up to the challenge with their care! Passionate about having positive experiences with them and to ensure they are comfortable with my care. I currently have two dogs in my household and both are a hand full. I do work a full time job but my schedule is easy to work around since I work in the service industry. Let me play with your pup and give them my love?
“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!”
“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!”
About: I have always had pets in my home since I was born. I have grown up around animals of all ages and sizes. I have recently been sitting for multiple families and many breeds of dogs and cats. I have even pet sat for ferrets and fish! I work a part time job serving at a restaurant in bowling green. I will have a lot of free time to take care of your babies! I live in an apartment with my cat, miss kitty. I am very respectful of others homes and I love sending pictures of the pet to their owner while they are gone.
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! Pet care is already a daily part of my routine. As a D1 athlete, I’m great at time management, being active, and spending time outdoors! I prioritize consistency, keeping pets on their normal routines as much as possible. I am organized, dependable, and able to meet a pets needs! 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!
“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 grew up with animals and wanted to be a vet or caregiver. I have done Therapy Dog programs with Hospice and inbound elderly to bring the love of animals to brighten their day. I have adopted several adult rescue dogs, including Whippet and Greyhound breeds. As a child, I always had cats, including DSH and later Siamese breed. I support Adoption rescue and spay/neuter. I grew up on a small farm with cows, rabbits, and many visitors! I work remote from home weekdays and have a flexible schedule with more open availability on weekends. Conveniently located near Basil Griffin Park and Three Springs Roads. I have a 8 foot fenced yard, and have 2 fur babies (Shih-Tzu) that are very friendly. I live in a small residential community with various cul-de-sac streets safe for walking. I enjoy exercise and walking so incorporating dogs into that routine is fun and relaxing!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Union
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 214 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.
