About: About Me: I believe pets thrive best when they can stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment. As a fellow pet parent raising a puppy, I understand firsthand the level of love, dedication, and patience required to keep our fur babies happy and safe. I specialize exclusively in in-home care offering house sitting, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. This ensures your pet gets 100% of my focused attention right where they feel most secure. I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness. Why Choose Me? Puppy Tested Patience: Raising a puppy means I am highly experienced with high energy, regular potty schedules, leash training, and positive reinforcement. Flexible Care Options: Whether you need a midday neighborhood walk, a quick drop-in check-up, or overnight care, I adapt completely to your pet's needs. Stress-Free Routines: By visiting your pet at home, they get to keep their exact eating, playing, and sleeping schedule completely uninterrupted. Constant Updates: You will receive sweet daily photo updates and texts so you always know your baby is happy and having fun. Loving Companionship: From active outdoor exercise to cozy couch cuddles, your pet will be treated like a loved member of my own family. As a puppy parent, my entire daily routine is already built around pet care, consistent schedules, and frequent breaks. Because I offer in-home services like house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, I structure my days specifically around my clients' needs. I dedicate mornings and late afternoons for active neighborhood walks and drop-ins, ensuring your pet gets their midday relief and exercise right on time. For overnight house sitting, my schedule allows me to settle into your home, providing dedicated evening companionship, bedtime snuggles, and morning routines just like you do. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities when entering your home. Before our first booking, I always require a Meet & Greet to learn your pet’s unique personality, triggers, and household rules. When caring for your pet in their own environment, I do a quick safety sweep to ensure no loose hazards or toxic items are within reach. I practice absolute respect for your property by double-checking locks, secure fencing, and keeping your space clean. During walks, I use a secure leash hold, remain highly alert to our surroundings, and never let your pet off-leash or near strange dogs. You will receive real-time photo updates and text check-ins after every single visit so you have total peace of mind.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I also worked at a doggy daycare for three years, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During that time, I learned so much about how dogs communicate through their body language and behavior, which has helped me better understand their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup is full of energy or just wants some extra cuddles, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and treating them like one of my own! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week! I would love to accept boarding mostly during the weekend. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep their daily routines as normal as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or just some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel happy and cared for. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own!

“Isaiah took good care of my little Pomchi. This was her first time having a sitter because she has such a hard time getting used to new people. He was able to get her to warm up to him.”

“Zoe was amazing with our two German shepherds and took such great care of them and our two cats for the week we were gone! I did not have to worry about a thing the whole time. She let us know regularly how things were going and sent us the cutest pictures of our animals! Our house was so clean when we got home and the animals were so content. We will definitely be using her regularly when we have to go out of town for any length of time!”

“Jamie was so helpful and took amazing care of our dog! She left the house clean and our dog happy! She communicated quickly and made sure that she understood all of our instructions so that our dog would get the best care. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to watch our dog again in the future.”

About: I have years of experience with cat and dog care. I have one of each of my own and am passionate about keeping your pets happy and healthy while you are away. I hope to be a source of information and ease your comfort away from your pet. I am responsible and experienced. I can provide boarding, housesitting, walking or drop in services when needed. Through July I work 8am -5pm Tuesday- Friday. I am available weekends, Monday's, and evenings. After,I am available full time in the month of August! The pets both get breakfast at about 7 am, the dog gets a walk and bathroom break after breakfast. The dog goes out every three to four hours for a walk until about 1-2am (stay at home dad walking during work hours). Both pets get attention in the morning and evening on weekdays, then weekends are out in the home all day doing whatever they please. Every Saturday baths are taken and nails are clipped as needed. I live in an apartment and implement feeding twice a day, outside walks 4-5 times a day for our dog and an hour of play time with my cat per evening. Both have high energy throughout the week but are generally calm and collected. They are kind and sweet. Both pets receive baths regularly and I clip their nails bi-monthly. I will take care of your animals well and am good at following instructions while making sure your animal feels safe and secure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sugar City

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 Sugar City 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 Sugar City 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 Sugar City 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.

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.
