About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As I grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I have full time availability currently. I am usually up around 5/6am so I am happy to do early mornings. I am up for late night drop ins as well if needed. I do not have a yard but I love to take the dogs to parks and walk around. If they are potty trained, I am more than happy to keep them in my house.

“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 👏”

“Amber is AMAZING!! We had a horrible experience boarding our boys back in October (first time boarding) so when we needed to go OOT for a family wedding this month (just 4 weeks after boarding) I could not bring myself to board them again, so a cake to Rover. Amber from the word go was so sweet and reassuring. She did a meet and great before and even entertained our over the top 3 year old. During her stay with our boys we got daily pictures and updates on how they were, and when we got home we had to VERY HAPPY pups!!! And that can not be said for when we picked them up the month before after being board. Amber is professional and definitely an animal lover!! Hands down go with her, your fur babies will be well taken take of and loved!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My experience in customer service has taught me excellent communication skills, and I understand the importance of keeping pet owners updated and giving them peace of mind. I love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine by making sure pets are fed on a consistent schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I also keep their living area clean and monitor their health and behavior each day. Throughout the week, I set aside time for grooming, cleaning bedding and supplies, and making sure they have everything they need to stay healthy and comfortable. Providing reliable, compassionate care is important to me, and I enjoy creating a safe and happy environment for animals. I provide attentive and reliable pet care by following each pet's routine, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. At my home, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and exercise under supervision. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions, keep the pet comfortable in their familiar environment, and ensure the home is left clean and secure. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to owners so they can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care. I enjoy sending regular photos and videos so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they're away.

About: For the past year I’ve been helping look after my partner’s five very rambunctious Australian Shepherds, and honestly, getting to know all their little quirks has been one of my favorite things. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I’m not working right now, But i currently attend Flagker College where i’m Majoring in Theatre Arts. In the morning, i usually have classes which is from 10 am all the way till 12-1. so for the time being I’ve got plenty of time to give your pet real, focused attention walks, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. This isn’t just a side gig to me, I actually love it. I treat every home and every pet like they’re special, whether I’m sitting for one night or a whole week. I’ll stick to your routines, keep things clean and calm, and pay close attention to whatever each animal needs. I pick things up quick, and at the end of the day I just want your pet (and you) to trust me.

About: I have been dog/house sitting for over 5 years, I am very dependable and trustworthy. I have 2 dogs of my own and have grown up with pets my whole life, making my love for animals pure. I have built relationships with all the families whose houses/animals I sit for and they have consistently used me as their go to sitter! Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I have flexibility with my serving job and am able to take off or adjust my schedule on days that I am pet sitting. This allows me to have open availability and dedicate the time and attention needed to provide your pet with great care while you’re away. I provide dog sitting in my clients’ homes and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I have been trusted by my current dog-sitting clients for over three years, and I also have dogs of my own that I care for every day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I’m comfortable with different personalities, needs, and routines. I adapt to each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship, so they can feel at home and maintain their routine while their owner is away.

About: Growing up, I always had a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both large and small breeds including Akitas, Huskies, Boxers, Chihuahuas, and Pomsky mixes. As I got older and moved out on my own, I owned a pitbull who I loved wholeheartedly and sadly lost to cancer in 2024. Since then, I’ve adopted two beautiful American Staffordshire Terriers from the same litter who have filled my home with love again. I truly treat every dog like family. They are welcome on the couches, in the bed, and even in the pool if approved by you! I have a fenced in backyard for safe playtime and lots of room for love, cuddles, and attention. I’m also great with teaching basic commands, keeping routines consistent, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, and you may even come home to a cleaner house than you left! I genuinely love bringing happiness, comfort, and peace of mind to people and their pets. I recently moved to Florida from Buffalo and decided to start pet sitting to help fill my free time doing something that truly makes me happy. As much as I hope to help your dog feel loved and cared for, they help my heart just as much too. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, love, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time around animals, so your pup will never feel ignored or lonely while in my care. I am very flexible with schedules and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a unfenced backyard, but a lot of yard, lots of walking trails and sidewalks, a loving home environment, and experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities as my previous pitbull was very reactive & didn’t get along with other dogs if you have a reactive dog I completely understand! I always follow routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions provided to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

About: Hi, I’m Shawna — a dedicated and experienced animal caregiver with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I had the unique opportunity to live on a farm for several years, where I cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigeons, bunnies, goats, sheep, cows, deer, and horses. That experience taught me not only how to care for animals, but how to truly understand their behaviors, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a shy rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention, I provide calm, attentive, and dependable care tailored to each animal. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I specialize in providing attentive, one-on-one care for pets in their own home environment, ensuring comfort, consistency, and peace of mind while you’re away. What You Can Expect: • Consistent, reliable care • Clear communication and updates • A calm, patient approach with animals of all temperaments • Experience with multiple species and environments • Respect for your home and routines 🐶 Services Offered: • Drop-in visits • Dog walking • House sitting • Pet companionship and care while you’re away I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s) and make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to travel to a clients home 7 days a week. If I am available, I could accommodate last minute care, overnights or long term pet/housesitting. I have a pet care contract that the client fills out with any special requests and details regarding the pets care, medication if applicable, allergies, emergency contact info etc... I have glowing recommendations from past and present clients upon request. I pride myself on being a very trustworthy person and can give the homeowner/"pet parent" the peace of mind that their "castle" is truly in trusting hands. I treat every clients home as I would my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Spuds

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 932 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spuds. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
