“Bianca is a true gem! We all love her, ( my 3 dachshunds )especially Guinness who wanted all her attention. Bianca is the most compassionate level headed dog sitter. She was outstanding with my 16 year old Marjie. And handled baby Bella who needs time to warm up. She’s A natural pro. No worries with Bianca taking care of your babies.”
“RUN, don’t walk - to hire Tayler for all of your pet’s needs. I’ve had my fair share of lackluster dog sitters (even from this app, unfortunately) and Tayler goes above and beyond on every front. It started with the meet and greet - I have two anxious beagle girls who get a bit stressed with new people in the house. The moment she walked in, they were at ease, barely made a fuss and were asking for belly rubs within a few minutes (lol I swear pets can sense great energy.) Tayler stayed at our place for a few days while we were away and kept us very updated with walks, happy photos and with any questions she had about our place. She’s kind, nurturing and is exactly the person I needed to find for me to feel *amazing* about leaving them with someone. I just know her calendar is going to fill up quickly - so don’t hesitate to book her ASAP 👏”

Your pets needs are my priority. It is important to help take care of your pup just as good as you do! I currently have open availability How you leave your home is how you will come home to it!

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and have personally had a variety of breeds including a lab, a rhodesian ridgeback, and a dashhound. I am comfortable washing, playing, trimming nails, and administering medication. I currently own a small business that is primarily weekend/event work! I work for myself so I can pretty much accommodate any requests/needs. Very flexible! I have a fully fenced in backyard so I can always bring your baby for some play! I love playing with any animal and getting to know them. I currently have 1 fur baby (cat, 6 years) so I understand their need for attention and stimulation! I take pride in making sure the space stays tidy and litter boxes maintained. Pets should add to your life and space and if I can help them clean up some of their mess, it creates a better environment for them and you!
“We had Kelly housesit and watch our dog and cat while we were out of town for 5 days, and she did amazing. Lots of pictures, very communicative, everything was left clean and the girls had so much fun. She went above and beyond, definitely would recommend.”
“We love Jenna!!!!! This is the second time we have been lucky enough to work with Jenna and have been so happy with the care she has provided. She sent me consistent updates, left our house in wonderful condition, and kept our pups so happy. It’s so nice to not worry about our pets on vacation, we are grateful that we found her! Thanks a ton Jenna!!”
About: With 5 years of experience working professionally with dogs, through sitting, daycare and grooming, I bring both skills and genuine love to every dog in my care. Having grown up with dogs and caring for multiple senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of any individual dog at every stage of life and meet their every need. I currently work full time as a dog bather, but can easily fit your pup into my busy schedule I am completely available Sundays and Mondays for all services. For the rest of the week, please privately message me so we can work something out, I’m not as available but I am very flexible and would love to meet your adorable pup! I provide comprehensive dog care services including dog sitting, walking, and boarding. During dog sitting, I ensure that each dog receives personalized attention, following your instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and comfort to maintain their daily routine and well-being. My dog walking services prioritize safety and engagement, offering regular exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level while ensuring proper leash control and waste cleanup. For dog boarding, I create a safe, clean, and nurturing environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for in my home, maintaining their normal schedule and providing ample socialization and playtime. I have 3 very sweet dogs, can separate if needed, a fenced in yard, and a lot of enrichment. Throughout all of my services, I monitor each dog’s health and behavior closely, keeping open communication with owners to provide comfort while you’re away.
“Adrienne was awesome! She went above and beyond to hang out with my pups and keep me constantly updated with pictures and videos so I could enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my pups. Will definitely contact her again when I head out of town. Thanks for everything ?”
About: I love learning new animal personalities and have spent the past years primarily in cat sitting but have experience walking and playing with my friends and neighbors dogs. Additionally, I spend a lot of time over the summers volunteering at a local farm. In doing so I have worked with chickens, bunnies, donkeys, horses, and even mini ponies! I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am a college student at Flagler College. Because of this I will do my best to be flexible but please be aware I am working around a set class schedule. However, I will always do my best to make time and provide the best services I can! I am pretty much completely available on weekends and most weekday early mornings and evenings with the exception of Wednesdays In my home as well as my client’s home, I prioritize regular feeding, whatever the specified time may be. Additionally I stress cleanliness to ensure overall health as well as some fun play time to keep the animals engaged and mentally active!
“My boys can be a lot to handle and Amber was very patient and loving to them. She was great communicating throughout the time we were gone so we always knew how things were going.”
About: I have always had a special connection to animals! My first word was LITERALLY puppy. Dogs have been apart of my family my entire life. I've taken care of dogs of all ages ,as well as many different breeds from a 120 lbs black lab to an 8 lbs pomeranian! I have multiple families in my home town that had me as their primary pet sitter. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for many years where I walked the resident dogs! I have a part time job but I am happy to work out a schedule that works for both of us! I am used to different dogs and their little quirks and will be mindful of whatever situation your pup may be in.
“Constant contact and lots of photos of the pups while we were gone. We felt very comfortable and relaxed the entire trip knowing they were safe! Can’t thank you enough Chelsea!”
“Heather was great with our dog, Murphy! She was very communicative with me and sent pictures daily! She took Murphy on daily walks and played with him in our backyard! She provided wound care on his foot and gave daily medications. Heather truly cared for our dog as if he was her own! We will definitely use her again!”
About: I ve taken care of different types of dogs since I was 15 my friend and neighbors have always relied on me to take care of their furry friends where I always assure that they always go for 3 walks a day, have quality play time with me, and be cuddle and cozy all the time you are away ♥️ Most of my work is from home! So I will spend the maximum amount of time with your best friend, playing, walking and lots of cuddles 🥰 normally I take the dogs for a walk, I come back ready to give them breakfast and food prepared for them; at the middle of the day I take them for a second walk and in the way back I hide some treats around the house to keep them entertained (if the dog have separation anxiety I get sure to get a lick mat to help them with that) in the afternoon night I have enough time to play with them after the last walk with a ball and more.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager and 70 so , just a few years lol Very flexible schedule and willing to help. I stay busy with volunteering, sports a nd friends and family but I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and willing to help. I live in a great condo complex with tons of pet owners and a 2 mile walking path with bags available at every building Very pet friendly!

FAQs for House Sitting - Spuds
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 963 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spuds. 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 Spuds 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 Spuds 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 Spuds 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
