“I appreciate Avery taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. He did a great job of communicating with us throughout our time away. He sent us photos of the dogs and let us know they were fine. We will definitely reach out to Avery again!”
“Corina, was amazing watching our boys! She did an amazing job watching our pups and updating us as well as sending pictures. They were well taken care of and you could see that they were happy and comfortable around her. Very professional and communicative. She was also very respectful of our home.”
About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.
“Courtney is an excellent, caring, and attentive dog sitter. During our meet and greet, it was clear she is highly experienced and skilled at caring for pets and animals in general. She watched my two rescue Yorkies in our home for over a week. My two dogs are not easy, as they have behavioral issues and often have tummy issues when I’m away traveling. Courtney was so great about communicating with me, keeping me posted on how the dogs were doing, and would ask thoughtful questions if something seemed potentially off with one of the dogs or if they may not be feeling well. It was also clear that Courtney treated our house like her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet sitting care for their pet!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m great with routines and can follow any specific instructions you have—because I know every pet is different. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with time built in for play, feeding, and companionship. I do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time through regular walks and supervised potty breaks. Safety is my top priority—I always keep dogs on a leash outside and stay aware of our surroundings. Inside, pets have a calm, secure space to relax, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and any special needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels at home.
“Ella did an amazing job house and animal sitting for me while I was on vacation! She sent lots of photos and updates every day which I appreciated. She also took care of my plants in the house while she stayed and when I got home everyone was happy and healthy! She even went above and beyond and tossed all the bedding she used in the guest room in the wash so it was one less thing I had to do when I got home. I would highly recommend her for any of your animal/house needs, she is very trustworthy and I'll be hiring her for all my future vacations!”
“Olivia was amazing with our two dogs! One of them can be a bit timid and nervous but he took too Olivia right away! She followed all the instructions we left her and gave them lots of love! We couldn’t recommend her more we would definitely use her again moving forward!”
“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
About: I’ve been house sitting on and off for almost two years! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life (I’ve had dogs, cats, and even a lizard!) I absolutely love animals, and growing up I was taught that our pets were part of the family, and I live by that sentiment now as an adult. Currently, I am a full-time student and I also work a part-time job, which can make it hard to be available for extensive periods of time. However, I am extremely flexible in going back and forth from multiple responsibilities, and have no issue sitting overnight! I think as much as it is important to meet all of your pets basic needs, it is equally as important to make sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. In the past, I’ve spent any time I could playing with my pets and keeping them company as they await the return of their owners.
“Katie was so sweet and very easy to work with. I liked that she sent pictures of the animals having a good time, and asked questions of there was anything she was unsure of. I would totally book her again and am grateful to have found her! This was our very first experience with Rover and I’m excited to find something that will give us maybe some more opportunities to travel in the future. 10/10”
“Blayre was so great with my energetic dog! Kricket warmed up to her really fast and seemed so calm and happy when I returned . Blayre was very communicative during the stay and even cleaned up one of my plants that had fallen off the windowsill. I highly recommend her services!”
“Sara was great! She was so sweet when we met her and our boys were comfortable with her right away. She sent lots of updates and pics while we were gone and the boys were happy and healthy when we returned. We have already booked her for another stay!!”
“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
About: I genuinely love animals and am happy to carr for yours like they are my own. Lots of love, snuggles and and playtime. I've had several senior pets and am confident in caring for them and have raised dogs from puppies and am comfortable caring for them as well. I work from home and can work from anywhere so pet sitting works well with my schedule. There are only a few days a week where I have meetings at a particular time, otherwise I can work around the pet needs. Lq I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps normal routines as consistent as possible. I follow each pets feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully and make sure doors, and gates are secure. Building trust is very important to me. I take time to get to know each pet's personality, respect their boundaries, and provide plenty of patience, , attention, and positive interaction. I also keep the home clean and tidy, properly clean up after pets, and watch for any changes in their behavior, appetite and overall well-being.
“Briana was great with our super shy senior dog. Ellie warmed up to her in about a day. Briana was great about sending pictures and communicating with us. She was also a great help when our travel plans changed.”
About: I’ve been my all of my friends favorite dog sitter for more than 10 years! They love feeling happy and safe when their pets are with me because of how much I care and love on animals. I also love sending photo updates! I am currently working part time as a real estate agent so I have plenty of time for your pups! I usually come home every couple of hours during the day and am always home in the evenings. I have a great big backyard and love playing fetch with all pups! I have a young golden retriever who is here some of the time to play with your dogs or can keep her at her other house if needed during your stay. My cat Trigger will happily spend your pups stay locked up in my sunny bedroom when I'm not home, so don't worry about her. Trigger is used to lots of fun pups coming through and will keep his distance! I am currently working as a real estate agent and can come home all throughout the day to visit with the pups. I also work from home half the time which makes the dogs very happy! :) I have a very large backyard which is rare for the downtown area, your dogs will have plenty of room to run and I love to throw a ball and play with them. If your dog is down to snuggle I am all about it! I keep a very loving home and guarantee them to feel safe and cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,726 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Staples. 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 Staples 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 Staples 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 Staples 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.
