“August was great! He sent regular updates, was extremely responsive, and was the perfect balance of warm and professional. Knowing he was giving our pup the attention and care he needed while we were away gave us valuable piece of mind. He left the house in excellent shape and took care of things like trash while we were gone. I highly recommend August and will be booking with him again.”
“Dylan is truly an angel, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment she walks in, our pups light up—they absolutely adore her. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing they are not just cared for, but genuinely loved when we’re away. Dylan is reliable, attentive, and incredibly kind. She takes the time to understand our dogs’ personalities, routines, and needs, and it shows in how happy and comfortable they are with her. We always come home to calm, content pups and a sense that everything has been handled with care and professionalism. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Dylan is the one. We are so grateful to have found her and feel incredibly lucky to have her as our pet sitter! 🐾💛”
“Brenna took care of our 18 year old cat who needs meds 2xs/day and I was comforted to know she was in good hands. I got regular updates and pics of her looking very happy. Will definitely book her again as she is clearly an animal lover and takes her pet sitting job seriously and wants the best for the animals she cares for. Thank you!”
About: I love frequently getting outside for a walk or run, rain or shine. I have house sat for many different people in my home town, including our local Veterinarian. I also spent time working at an Animal Shelter, therefore have had interaction with many different breeds/ages and thoroughly enjoy taking care of, hanging out, and playing with animals. I have helped with senior / puppy care and am highly responsible, caring, and loving. I currently am not working and can offer my full attention to in home stays, walks, or drop ins. I can do multiple breaks, walks, and quality time. The animals are the priority. I tend to them first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and before bed. I am timely with regular meals, fresh water, regular breaks (every few hours, never longer than 8 hrs), attention/affection, and exercise are basics of what I provide.

“Hayes was amazing with Dixie! I could tell she has a passion for dogs and took really good care of her when I was away. She really went above and beyond and took her on a big hike and to a lake with some other doggie friends and I came home to a super happy tired pup. She was communicative and kept the house nice and tidy as well! Would definitely recommend! 💯”
“Attentive, my dog Bella had a great time, Caitlin stayed for 9 days with Bella and was terrific. Left the house clean and tidy. I will definitely have her watch Bella again.”
“Lila did an amazing job watching our animals! Our shy cat was sleeping with her after spending the afternoon on her lap. We were able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing they were so well cared for!”
“Julie was able to take a last minute booking, which was incredibly helpful. She was responsive and sent updates and pictures the entire stay. We would definitely book her again.”
“Tigran was a great dog caregiver. He shared some of his knowledge about dogs and He is a great communicator and quickly responded to all contacts. He provided daily photos of his walks with my dog and reached out as needed for clarity around house and dog needs. Tigran was respectful of our home and able to manage some complex house events while we were away. I would happily employ Tigran again.”
“Gracie was absolutely awesome!! We had a last minute dog sitting cancellation and Gracie stepped in and Raven absolutely loved her and she made our stressful situation so easeful. Highly recommend and will definitely hope to have her again! Thank YOU for taking such good care of our girl and home while we were away! So grateful!”
About: I will love and care for your dogs like they are my own! I am at home most of the time and would only leave your pup at most 5 hours 2x in a given week. I have my own 10 lb "mystery doodle" fur baby and we both welcome fur friends to our home and are happy to come stay in yours, as well. *Please note that I can only accept dogs up to 30 lbs for boarding at my home.* Cuddle time is priority and I take the dogs hiking almost every day. I live right next to an amazing open space, and a huge grassy area "dog park." Lots of fun playtime happens there! Holistic health is a priority for my babies, and I often share information on diet, lifestyle, training and supplements that can help your dog to be the healthiest possible as well! I also practice honest, clear communication regarding any issue that could possibly arise. I started petsitting at the age of 12 when I had a small business in my neighborhood. I went on to spend a few summers working full time at the local kennel, walking, feeding and caring for dozens of dogs there. I worked at a sled dog kennel in Alaska one year caring for 100 dogs and since then have cared for dozens of dogs and cats in my home and at other's homes. I also have had my own dogs for the last 15 years. I look forward to talking to you about how I can care for your pets and leave you knowing your fur babies are loved, healthy and safe! I am normally only away from home for 5 hours tops 2 times in a given week. Other than that I am with your fur babies going on walks, playing with neighborhood dogs in the "dog park," hiking, and cuddling on the couch. I have a friendly 10 lb mystery doodle, a small fenced yard, and our larger "back yard" is the open space next to the townhome I live in where we go on short walks multiple times a day. There is also a grassy area nearby locals call "the dog park" where many dogs run around and play. I would be happy to bring your pup on hikes with my dog and I, as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sugarloaf
Yolanda is a gem. It’s always hard for us to find someone we feel we can trust will look after our animals with the same level of attention and love that we provide. Yolanda clearly loves animals. Beyond that, she clearly has a special gift with them. Our 2 lgd dogs and needy cat fell in love with her! It was clear she gave them a lot of time and attention. She was also very communicative with us, and made sure to follow our instructions. Everything was in perfect order upon our return from our extended stay abroad. We are so glad we found Yolanda and look forward to having her pet sit for us again - we know the animals would love that as well!
Kristen was great! You can tell right away from meeting her that she is a total dog person and the animals love her! She stayed at our place for the week with our dog and took great care of her! You could tell Kristen did everything she could to keep the doggo in her normal routine. She was communicative and sent photos and asked clarifying questions where needed. She left the house clean. Would recommend!
Yolanda was awesome as always! Not the first time we’ve had her. Both my dogs just absolutely love her. Not only does she take care of the dogs, she keeps the house clean as well as washing the bedding before she leaves. She is also a great cook! Left us an homemade apple pie using our apples from our tree! She had fun with that! 😁🤣❤️ You guys need a dog sitter? Book with Yolanda!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sugarloaf
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sugarloaf. 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 Sugarloaf 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 Sugarloaf 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 Sugarloaf 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.
