“Sarah was great watching Jenny. Spoiled her by bringing treats which Jenny loved. She even handed out Halloween candy to the children in the neighborhood. Jenny told us she would enjoy having Sarah watch her again, we told her that sounds like a good idea! Thank you Sarah.”
“Shachel is very patient and polite, it was nice to have check in text of how my dogs doing! He seemed very relaxed and great when I got home, would recommend to a friend!”
“Livvi was great caring for our two cats! The cats are still getting used to each other so required extra care and monitoring. One cat has special medical needs requiring medication and care. Livvi was great with them and communicated so well with me throughout. She left the house and cats in wonderful order and we are so grateful! I was nervous about being away, but now I feel so much better leaving in the future if I can book Livvi!”
“Kristen was amazing while looking after our two fur babies for a week. Attentively, she noticed our older lab had a limp and kept us informed of his progress. She was kind enough to send videos and photos throughout her stay. We truly appreciated how she looked after our dogs and our home as if it was hers.”
“Mary was so sweet and great with our Dane. She took good care of her. She cares about your animals and we trusted her with our baby. Will definitely go with her again!”
“Kat took amazing care of our fur babies and house! Our dogs instantly liked her and felt comfortable with her. Kat was very kind, respectful, had good communication, and you can tell she is an animal person! We will definitely use her again to dog sit!”
“Christy did amazing job, my dog was cared for and loved while I was gone. I have camera's in my house and every time I checked in they were cuddling or he was getting attention. My house was left very clean and was exactly how i left it. I would highly recommend her and feel very comfortable using her again.”
“Crystal was great with our pups! She calmed a very anxious Ruby and I could tell when we got home that the dogs really like her. She sent us a couple of pictures throughout the evening and that helped me ;>)). I felt confident in the care of our dogs and our home. We will definitely be asking Crystal to pup-sit again and highly recommend her!”
“Angelina was excellent and kept us updated while watching our pups - it was such a relief to leave our dogs with someone who so obviously adored them as much as we do. Would love to have her help again!”
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

“Rachel was friendly and communicative, and she took wonderful care of our dog, bird, and house.

“Jackie did an excellent job with our senior Lab. He loved her from the moment he met her. She sent us lots of pictures and stayed in communication keeping us posted on all his adventures. At one point my husband said “he is having so much fun he may not want to leave”! Additionally, she did a great job watering all of my plants and vegetables during a hot spell. They all looked better than when we left. We arrived home to a spotless house, a beautiful thank you note, fresh baked cookies and sourdough bread! I would highly recommend Jackie to care of your precious pets!”
“Jerad was absolutely fabulous with my pups and even went out of his way to work with me when I made a scheduling error. He sent pics and video and made sure both I and my dogs were 100% comfortable with everything before I went out of town. I will definitely be using him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sturgeon
I went on vacation and came home to a happy cat. He’s a lovey dovey cat, and check-ins don’t cut it for longer trips. I tried the sitting service, and I was really happy with Cailee. As I was leaving for vacation, it felt like anything that could go wrong did. The printer ran out of ink, I forgot to put out the spare key, etc. Cailee gave me lots of grace, which was greatly appreciated. She sent me pictures of Pumpkin, and I felt like I could actually enjoy my vacation because I could trust she had him handled.
Cailee is so wonderful! This was the first time we had used a dog/house sitter that we didn't know. She took the extra time to come by and meet us and the dogs a few days before our trip. The dogs absolutely love her and we will definitely be asking her to watch them in the future.
Cailee took care of our little puppy while we were away and did an amazing job!! She sent so many updates so I knew he was being well cared for! When our flight got delayed she even offered to come back after her scheduled time to check on our boy! I definitely would have her watch him again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sturgeon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 710 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sturgeon. 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 Sturgeon 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 Sturgeon 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 Sturgeon 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.

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.
