“We had a great experience! Claire was easy to communicate with, kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, and took wonderful care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands while on vacation. We would definitely book with Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me pretty much my entire life, and I’ve always believed they’re part of the family. In our house, Pepper and Lily pretty much run the show! 😊 Pepper is our 8-year-old Maltipoo, and Lily is our 6-year-old American Shorthair cat. They keep us entertained, keep us on schedule, and remind us who is really in charge. I’m retired, which gives me something many pet sitters don’t have as much of — time. I enjoy being around animals and would much rather spend my day with a dog or cat than rush in and out between a dozen other commitments. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors. I haven’t done it professionally, but I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover all my life, and I understand how much trust is involved when you leave someone with your pets. A little about how I care for pets Every pet is different. Some want a long walk and lots of play; others are perfectly happy curling up beside you. I’m happy to follow their routine and your instructions — whether that means walks, meals at a particular time, medications, special attention, or caring for an older pet. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care in your home. My preference is house sitting because I think most pets are happiest in their own surroundings, with their familiar beds, toys, smells, and routines. I don’t offer boarding at my home because Lily has made it clear that she does not appreciate houseguests of the canine variety! 😄 Your home matters to me, too. This is something I feel strongly about because I’ve used Rover myself. We’ve had Rover sitters care for our pets and stay in our home, so I know what it’s like to hand your keys—and your furry family members—to someone you don’t know. I will treat your home the way I want someone to treat mine: with respect, care, cleanliness, and common sense. I’ll follow your instructions, keep things tidy, and make sure your home is secure while you’re away. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or time away without worrying about what’s happening at home. I’m not looking to simply “check in” on your pets. I enjoy their company. I’ll talk to them, play with them, take them for walks, give them attention, and let them keep me company. If your pets are happy, I’m happy. That’s really what this is about. ❤️🐾 I’d love to meet you and your pets, learn their routines, and see if we’re a good fit. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, including evenings and overnight stays. I enjoy being with pets and can give them plenty of time and attention. I treat your home with the same respect I expect for mine. We’ve used Rover sitters ourselves, so I understand the trust involved. I’ll follow your instructions, keep your home secure and tidy, and give your pets attentive, dependable care.
“Ryan was a wonderful companion for our dog Bailey. She played Frisbee and tug with her daily. She communicated with us every day with pictures. I felt very confident that Bailey was well cared for while we were gone. I'm so happy to have found her!”
“Bennett did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while my family was on vacation. He bonded with both of them and helped them be comfortable while we were gone. I will definitely ask Bennett to watch my dogs again.”
“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”
“Alicia was great! Very responsive and timely. Took excellent care of our elderly dog, sent daily updates with pictures, and left the house in great condition! We were very pleased!”
“Perri was incredible, I can’t imagine finding someone who could take better care of our dog while we are out of town. Our dog is epileptic and had a number of seizures at the start of Perri’s stay, and she handled it incredibly well and gave him medicine 5 times a day to help prevent an ER visit without complaint. On top of that, she sent daily updates and photos and took Mack on all kinds of adventures to nearby parks and trails. Can’t say enough good things about Perri - will be booking her any time we have to go out of town! Mack has rated her 7,000 / 5 stars”
“Max took excellent care of our 2 dogs while away on vacation. He sent regular communication and I could tell he really cared about them. He left the house in great condition. Will use Max again for sure.”
About: Nearly three decades experience Wide open availability Have worked with every breed/personality imaginable. Can adapt to any pets needs great or small. Have worked with all ages and medical needs. Medication, food sensitivities, and personal preferences are very important and will be treated with equal priority. I have a very open availability and no spouse or children. I prioritize the pets I'm caring for over other obligations and will be open about any scheduling conflicts. (but that's unlikely to happen) My service involves precise and personalized care depending on the pet's needs and personality. No two pets are the same and each needs to be understood according to their lifestyle.
“Lauryn did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. Not only was she available on short notice but she kept me updated with pics and check ins. He has some medical issues and she was able to navigate those and alert me as needed. Highly recommend!”
“Katie did a wonderful job dog sitting for us. She kept us informed of how the dogs where doing and what they were up to. The dogs looked healthy and happy when we returned home. We would definitely book Katie again.”
“Lesley was a life saver! We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a horse and she cared for all of them while we were gone. She even sent pictures of our babies which I love receiving while away from them. She gave them lots of cuddles and love; even if the cat may have forced her to cuddle more than anticipated 😅 we will definitely be reaching out to Lesley again whenever we need someone we can trust to watch our four legged babies!”
“This is the second time that Jeremy has sat with Sirius. Sirius was so excited to see him again! Jeremy brings a great calming presence to my sometimes anxious big guy- always offering affection, play and fun food enrichment (Sirius’s favorite). Jeremy is a super communicator and I love that he sends me a few pics to let me know how things are going which I very much appreciate. We will absolutely continue to be repeat clients.”
“Michael is the absolute BEST dog watcher we have ever had. He just did everything perfectly. He is very dependable and I did not have to worry about a single thing while I was away from my dog. He sent me a lot of photos and he was so good with my dog. I got home and she was so happy. I know she had fun. I will use him going forward for everything. He’s incredible!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sunset Hills is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Hills
Claire was wonderful with Macy! We loved the connection they made, and Claire’s maturity and thoughtfulness gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She paid attention to Macy’s routine, kept us updated, and went above and beyond by tidying up, washing the towels she used, and bringing in our mail and packages. It was clear she cared about Macy and our home. We would absolutely trust her to stay with Macy again and highly recommend her!
Ryan was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our cat and dog for a week while we were gone. She went the extra mile for us in several ways and always provided excellent communication. I cannot recommend her enough - our pets immediately took to her. We will definitely use her again.
Maya was amazing! She checked in on Joey multiple times throughout the day and was great at updating me with pictures of them playing, going on walks, or just hanging out at the house. She was very trustworthy and did a great job communicating. Joey loved her and was in great spirits when I got home from my trip. I will definitely be rebooking Maya for future pet care.
Clarisa took great care of my 2 senior dogs and one senior cat for a week while I was away for 5 days. She was very sweet my pets, and they were happy and content when I got home as if I had never been gone. Exactly what you hope for! Clarisa was very communicative with me during the trip and sent daily photos of them which is always comforting. I highly recommend her services for your pets!
Isabel took excellent care of our two dogs in our home while we were out of town for a week. I appreciated her check-ins and pictures. She went above and beyond our expectations. Our dogs are not always the easiest to walk and she still walked each of them every day. Thank you!!!
Makayla took care of our older dog and two kitties. She stayed with them while we went on vacation, and she did a wonderful job! We didn’t have to worry, and she took care of them like they were her own. I would definitely ask her to take care of them again.
So grateful for Anna's help this weekend! As always she took great care of our two cats. She stayed at the house with them this time because our older cat is having some balance issues. She is attentive, a great listener and communicator, and provided timely updates with photos. Thanks Anna!
Rhiannon was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Clifford, while we were overseas — he was clearly happy and well-loved the whole time. She also kept our house just the way we left it, and all of our plants were still alive (which is basically a miracle because I’m really good at killing them 😅). It was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. We’d absolutely have her back again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunset Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,626 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunset Hills. 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 Sunset Hills 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 Sunset Hills 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 Sunset Hills 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 with handling special pet needs in Sunset Hills. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
