“Savanah was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about animals. She was extremely friendly and my dog loved her. She even helped us with some training tips. She was a very accommodating with our schedule overall 10 out of 10 very nice lady.”
“Robyn was so sweet, our dog felt so comfortable with her and she went above and beyond to take care of him. We got lots of pictures and videos which I loved, since we were out of town for 3 days it really helped ease any anxiety I had. Would definitely book again!”
About: (Yes, I am available for the 4th of July week/weekend, so theres no need to have your fur kids alone and scared while you're away!!) I have cared for animals of all kinds since I was little. I have experience with a large range of creatures, from hamsters to horses you name it. I have medical experience handling IV's and Other injection medications. I am CPR trained, and have been CPR certifed, however, certification is not up to date for this year yet. I have nursed two small infant puppies back to health from Parvo through injection Iv's, Handled Ear infections due to Yeast & Earmites, on too many occasions I've cured stray Cats & kittens of worms, as well as many other positive outcomes for Unhealthy Furkids that were lucky to have found my care...Hence why Im very cautious when it comes to any possible exposure to bacteria & possible illness. Over the years i have had many different senerios and challenges arise that I have handled with ease. I have an amazing reputation for animal training, altho ive never been Trainer certified. From Seniors to newborns I always have any animals best interest at heart, they deserve a life better then we can give but I will continue striving to deliver!! I am currently unemployed since recovering from Carpal and Cubital tunnel surgery. So im free all day & week to Check In/Hangout/& Hike with your furry friends!! I personally feel as tho they deserve Treat & Potty breaks all the time, so let me be there for them when you can't. :)♡ I spend all outdoor time monitoring & playing with your fur kids, for both saftey and to keep your kiddos mind active. Constantly engageing through interactions, helps to keep your kids distracted of your absence!! I have two friendly fur kiddo's myself (With Separation Anxiety) that love to help keep your fur babies company. We enjoy bringing activity boards, stimulating toys, and treat puzzles, for your fur kids to engage and activate their smart thinking mind's. It's important to me that we make sure throughout the day we are drinking plenty of water (Especially when out in the Sun) and that I'm listening to ALL of my furry friends needs!!
“Kimberly is amazing! My puppy loves playing with her and she seemed immediately comfortable with Kimberly. Kimberly does a great job sticking to her routine and giving my pup a variety of activities to do. She also does a great job taking her for walks and helping her settle in her crate for naps. We will definitely book with her in the future! She’s a sweetheart and we completely trust her with our fur baby! Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Robin is the BEST EVER! My dogs absolutely loved having her take care of them while we went out of town. She sent so many pictures and videos of them enjoying themselves. I will 1000% use Robin in the future :)”
About: Hello! I’ve been a pet owner to both cats and dogs, from rambunctious puppies and kittens to calm, couch-loving seniors my entire life! I currently own a Great Dane and an Akbash (big dogs don’t scare me!). I worked at a vet clinic for over 3 years and am confident with providing daily meds if needed, and extra care to your senior furbabies. I also am experienced with nail trimming! There has also been occasions that I have pet sat exotic animals, such as snakes and bearded dragons! So if you have a few extra small critters that need love, I’m your gal! I have pet sat for multiple people and love providing daily picture updates to keep your mind at ease! It’s my priority to love your pets like they’re my own! I currently work in Idaho Falls full-time as an occupational therapy assistant in a skilled nursing facility. For pet owners living in Pocatello, I can pet sit every day of the week, though. I am gone for roughly 8 hours at a time Monday through Friday . I am completely free on weekends to pet sit all day. Pet owners in Idaho Falls and surrounding areas, since I work in that city, I am able to come and stop by throughout the day and stay overnight instead of driving back home. Every pet deserves to have the same routine and daily care they get while you’re home, which is why I want to keep those routines and habits the same while you’re gone. I want to build a trusting and less stressful relationship/environment with you and your pets! Whether your pets are small or giant, I am confident in my skills to provide them adequate care based on your needs and expectations. I will always provide free cuddles and pets to every animal I watch!
About: When growing up, I grew up with at least 2 to 3 big dogs in the house, and I always enjoyed spending my days with them. Throughout college, I took care of my personal dog judge, after graduating I adopted two more, Maverick and Nala. My dogs are spoiled rotten to the point where I spoil them more than myself, you can expect your dogs to be given the same treatment maybe even a little better. Don’t tell my pups lol. Right now I currently work at gowen Field as a Blackhawk pilot, but my job gives me the flexibility to schedule around and make sure that I have the time and availability to take care of your fur babies. I’m fine waking up early in the mornings also going to bed late at night so I will always make time for them. We have a huge fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, also a shed in the backyard that can be converted into a private room for your Doggos if needed. Your dogs can expect lots of pets, walks, and playtime/socialization time!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sterling
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 53 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sterling. 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 Sterling 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 Sterling 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 Sterling 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.
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.
