Camryn was professional, she was ten minutes early (loved it because I had time to chat with her before leaving for work). Camryn sent me pictures of her and Bee throughout the day. She also updated me on how Bee’s day was when I returned home. Camryn was nice to Bee. Bee was in a nice mood when I returned home. Will definitely book Camryn again.

5 stars for Julia! She took incredible care of my cat and was super reliable. I came home to a happy pet and a clean house. She is professional, thoughtful, and left absolutely no mess. I highly recommend her!

Amber was phenomenal with my dog, Arya, while I was out of the country!! She house sat for me and sent me daily updates and photos so I never had to worry how things were. I came home to a very happy pup! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again and again!

Sidney is the best! First time I left my dog Zoey with dog sitter and we couldn’t be happier! She is responsible, caring… even cleaned my house before I cam home. My dog, Zoey is worn out from all the trips to dog park, playing, and got her first pup cup icecream! We will definitely be using her again soon!

Sonja was wonderful with karma! We are so glad that Rover has such capable people. She kept me posted on how things were going. I highly recommend her. If we have a need for a dog sitter again we certainly would use her. Thank you

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my whole life. My family had labs and border collies at home when I was younger, and I currently have two cats. I am a teacher in the Iowa City school district. Currently, I am fully available for the summer. I will have evening and weekend availability during the school year. I am very sensitive to the needs that different pets can require. I have two cats that are very different and require different types of care. I am happy to tailor services to the needs of your pets.

Sophie did a great job with my blind and toothless girl, Annie. She gave updates and pics throughout the day. She also spent quality time with Annie who gets separation anxiety when left alone. I’ve already booked Sophie for another sitting job!! Thank you Sophie!!

Thank you for taking such good care of our pups and kitties! It was so nice to be able to check in and get a quick response when I reached out. There were lots of storms during our week away and our pups don’t handle weather events well, Tiffany made sure they were safe and comfortable! Was so nice to not have to worry about them having good care. I would recommend Tiffany to others looking for quality care of their pets while they are away.

Isabelle and her boyfriend took great care of our puppy. They followed our house rules and went the extra mile to give our high energy puppy plenty of activity while they were house sitting. I would definitely work with them again!

Auden and Yen (her right hand canine assistant) kept our 8 month old female Birdie safe, loved ,exercised and entertained for eight days at our house while we had a trip out of state. First time we have left our puppy with a pet sitter and we’re naturally anxious at first but felt completely relaxed and confident with Auden especially after many cute pictures and texts of Birdie and Yen playing, sleeping and on walks together. Such a relief to find someone you feel safe leaving your pet with.

Elise was great! She took good care of our standard poodle and gave him his eye drops twice a day. Bonus: while house sitting she took our old bananas and made banana bread! Highly recommend as a pet/house sitter!

Used Thomas again for house/dog sitting for an entire week and felt incredibly comfortable with the care he was giving our pups and our house. So, so nice to have him stay there and give us updates and the dogs extra cuddles and treats.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

About: Drop ins: I’ll take your dog on a little walk before feeding them and spending time with your little furry love (20-30 minutes or so) Walking: I’ll take your pooch for a walk and/or run for as long as they require. House sitting: we will go on walks, snuggle, eat and I will be respectful of the owners home- clean up after myself and the animal so you come home to a nice clean home and you don’t have to rush to take care of your beloved fur baby! Boarding: not my preferred method of watching your pooch but if it’s absolutely needed, I can accommodate to make your pooch feel warm and welcome in my home.I have 2 large male dogs and a 2 year old- they’re great but getting older and less tolerant of other dogs.

Lauren was absolutely amazing with Axel and Layla! I needed last second care for them and she took great care of them! She was punctual, communicative, and open to do more for them. Hands down the greatest experience I’ve had on Rover for the pups! 12/10 stars and would highly recommend her! Your fur-children will be in the best care with her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sutliff

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 335 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sutliff. 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 Sutliff 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 Sutliff 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 Sutliff 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 Sutliff. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
