About: Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom of four and a proud dog mom to three wonderful pups. Our home is always full of love, play, and plenty of tail wags! With years of hands-on experience caring for both children and dogs, I’ve mastered the art of patience, nurturing, and staying on top of everyone’s needs—furry or not. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy nap sessions, or sticking to special routines and diets, I’m here to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment while you're away. Let me give your pet a home-away-from-home (or in your home) experience that’s filled with attention, affection, and fun! As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide full attention and care to your pet, while seamlessly fitting it into my daily routine. My schedule is built around the needs of my children and pets, allowing me to offer personalized care for your furry friend—whether that’s for walks, playtime, or just cuddles. With summer break upon us, my time becomes even more flexible. My kids are home and ready to help with extra pet care tasks, making it easy for me to accommodate more visits, longer walks, or additional time for special needs. Whether you need care during the day or overnight stays, I can ensure your pet is well taken care of, while balancing everything with the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they’re staying in my home or yours. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I take extra precautions to ensure your pet is always safe while outside. I supervise all outdoor play and walks closely to prevent any mishaps, creating a secure environment where your pet can enjoy the fresh air without worry. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, ensuring that areas are safe and comfortable for all pets, with a quiet, and peaceful atmosphere when needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow all your guidelines, routines, and instructions to maintain consistency. I respect your home and the trust you place in me, offering daily updates and being fully present to attend to your pet’s needs. I also make sure the environment is secure, keeping your pet safe from potential hazards. You can count on me to provide not just love and attention, but a trustworthy, safe, and reliable experience, so you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in my care.

“I wish I could leave Sarah 10 stars! I interviewed 4 Rover house sitters before I found Sarah. She immediately put my mind at ease when I saw her interact with my pups. She sent tons of pictures and updates during her stay! She kept the house clean and even took out the trash! I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: Loving your Babies is full time commitment. Allowing me to help with transition is my favorite part of my day. All ages need love and attention. Working for a daycare I can see the benefits of caregiving to children. I would love to see this in pets as well. Everyone deserves a chance to grow.e Pets are very much the most creative beings on this earth. They can communicate through verbal and non verbal cues. Building the bond and trust is essential to not only understand, but love your babies. I love building in this environment

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! The school months are definitely mush buisier but I would love to chat and find a schedule that works for both of us! I love to walk and sit to break up the stress of finishing my degree! Feel free to send me a message for details!! I'm always willing to work with what your dog does best with! I want them to be as comfortable and undisrupted as possible when their family is away! You're pups should get vacation treatment while you do too! I'm able to crate when needed, use a long line, and have experience with all kinds of tools, methods, and routines!

“Our dogs are older and have known medical needs, but Jessica was not deterred from taking care of them. Unfortunately our worst fear came true and one of our dogs had a medical crisis while we were out of the country (no one’s fault, just the dog’s health declining). Jessica escalated to us and took our girl to the vet office on two separate days to get her medical care. She work with our vet and learned to give our dog new medications to manage the situation. Aside from rising to the occasion of medical crisis, Jessica sent us tons of photos and updates of all the dogs (which we greatly appreciated). It is difficult enough to find a sitter who is competent in taking care of older dogs with medical issues, but Jessica exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank her enough.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Stringtown

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 Stringtown 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 Stringtown 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 Stringtown 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.
