About: My passion for taking care of animals started at a young age. I have always had dogs and cats, including my Blue Heeler and Husky that I currently have. I enjoy being able to learn new animals, and am very patient while allowing them to learn me as well. With that being said, I would love nothing more than to be able to create a bond with your best friend(s)! I currently work full-time, but will always have time to be with your animals. If I feel like I wouldn't be able to give your furry friends the quality of time and care that they need, I will not allow myself to accept the service ahead of time. There is a dog park in walking distance. Crates are available if desired. Will be able to meet almost any need you may have for your animals.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience as a pet owner my whole life for cats and dogs (I have one Shih-tzu and one cat as of now!). I have also provided walks for other pets for 2 years for my family and friends, offering personalized care and a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My passion for pets ensures they receive the attention, love, and exercise they deserve! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for pets is a great fit. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I can easily work them into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I treat every pet like they're my own! I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention. I always follow the owner's instructions, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or keeping up with their normal routine. I keep the environment clean and safe, watch for anything that seems off, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you're away.

“Lana was amazing and our babies can’t wait for her next visit! We have 3 Scottish Terriers and they loved Lana. I received photos of each daily. Sometimes a video of them playing. Really made our time away easier knowing that they were being well cared for. Each one has their own Scottitude and Lana embraces each one. She spent so much time interacting with the babies and they were well loved. When we came home the house was perfect.. in fact it was even cleaner than when we left. Perfect pup sitter!”

That made me so happy knowing they were very well loved on. She even made sure the floors and bedding were clean when we came home and left the sweetest pup report cards! I hope she will always take care of our babies🩵”

“Yes yes yes yes yes !! Michelle was amazing. I’m so grateful of all the sitters, I chose her. She absolutely exceeded my expectations 💗 I didn’t have to wonder or guess or hope my babies were taken care of because every time I opened the app there was an update and pictures. Which I loved 🥰 she was extremely attentive and very communicative if there were any questions. She was more attentive than I was 😂 after the first day had gone and I understood she was the dog sitting goat… I, myself, relaxed a bit. I feel having someone reliable makes a world of difference & Michelle is that reliable person. So book those trips ✈️, then book Michelle 🐾 & go have a blast 😌 I definitely will be booking her in the future. Thanks a lot girl 🫶🏽”

About: I live on a farm, have 1 border collie named Maximus who is 12yrs old, 1 Catahoula Mrs. Katniss that’s 10months and train dogs as well. I have a 115 acre farm area where your pet can run and play! Awesome place for a dog and Max/Kat loves visitors. They can run around, play, throw rope, whatever your pet enjoys. If your pet likes to be active I certainly have the area for it! Your pet and I go on daily walks and daily awesome adventures. If needed I have GARMIN tracking collars to place on dogs that may venture away during adventures, just let me know and I’d be more than happy to let your furry friend borrow one of mine! It will have an awesome time and I’ll send daily photos of our cool trips to your cell phone. I will be the only person handling and taking care of your baby. Pets staying 7+ days will also get to enjoy basic obedience training a few times a day. Our goal is to send pets home better than they left. We pride ourselves in running a very clean and professional facility where your furry family members is family to us! *please note, we do understand that we may be more costly than other boarders on ROVER. However, we stand by the fact that you get what you pay for. Please consider that a professional trainer will be with your pet 24/7 while in my care* We are here to provide great customer service and care for pets, not engage in a price war. I work from home, train dogs, and will be with them 24/7. Your dog will receive continuous love from me and my wife. It’s a great environment. If your dog stays inside at your house it’s inside at mine. I can keep them in a kennel in the living room with my other 2 dogs.

About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch your favorite companion! I have been taking care of my dog and other's as well for about 16 years. Their safety and happiness is my number one priority. I will give your animal all the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away! As a former Zookeeper and current Veterinary Assistant, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to take care of animals of all sizes and shapes. I currently have three French Bulldogs that get along with any dog and are always down for a puppy play date. If you are looking for dog boarding in my home your pet must be pet friendly because of this, up to date on vaccines, and a meet and greet will be required before hand. If you are only looking for drop in visits or dog walking they will stay home and a meet and greet will not be required. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope I can meet your favorite family member soon! I currently work as a vet assistant at a speciality and emergency practice in Birmingham. I work overnights on the weekends so I’m completely free during the week. If your pet is staying during the weekend my partner is free while I’m not home to take care of our furry guests! I can do whatever is needed to make your dog feel safe! We can walk them on a leash, use a fenced in backyard, crate them when we leave, etc.

“This was the first time we used Rover, and we are thrilled. Arthur and Stephanie are excellent with our two Crazy dogs. This was a one-night test run, and it went off without a hitch. Now we are confident that our boys are in the right hands when we go away in the future. Even our grumpy, curmudgeon of a Border Collie, Kenai, doesn't generally warm up to people so quickly, but he slept with Stephanie! We are lucky to have found the perfect people to care for our dogs on the first try.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Steele

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Steele 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 Steele 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 Steele 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 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
