“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”
“Daniel was a great sitter for my house and dogs while I was away. When I got home, one of my dogs didn’t want him to leave so I think they had a wonderful time. Would recommend his services to anyone in need.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years. I have two dogs, a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Maltese. They showed me responsibility and patience. I have a flexible schedule. I am available at any time of the week, given I have a lot of free time. I can watch your pet as early as seven am. I will hang out with them if they want to relax or sleep. I’ll be delighted to keep them entertained if they want to play. I also will make sure they won’t break anything when I’m caring for them.
“Vanessa did an excellent job with my two dogs. She was able to help with their manner issues and I was very pleased. I would certainly request her for my next trip. The dogs were very happy with her also.”
“Jaime was housesitting for my 12 lb dog. She was here much of the day and all night. She tried walking Ginger but Ginger was a little stubborn. Hopefully, better luck next time. She left my home in good condition after a week and appears they played a lot with her toys. She also did a couple of extra things in the yard for me. I will definitely touch base with her in future”
“Azrael had to deal with a standoffish dog and cat that we were petsitting, in addition to our cat. With patience, she earned the dog’s trust and kept us apprised of the situation throughout the day.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting & providing services for over 10 years now! For 5+ years I’ve dog sat Gracie the pit bull (see photos) as her father is always traveling for work for extended periods of time prior to coming back to this platform. I would dog sit on multiple occasions for weeks or months at a time, therefore I'm comfortable working extended periods of time with multiple animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own so I understand on a personal note how sentimental they mean to their owners! I pride myself in my patience & professionalism. I carry myself with a lot of compassion & empathy however, which is why I wanted to begin working & applying more of my time with animals again! Complete availability Monday through Friday, I’m open between 7:30am-10:30pm for any doggie daycare needs, dog walking or drop ins! Very easy going & willing to do weekends for repeated clients! ❤️ I currently have a huge fenced backyard & will always make sure they’re monitored. I love to be present with every animal I watch so I always ensure the doggies are safe while they’re playing or resting. I’ll never leave them unattended!

I care for my cat by feeding her in the morning when i wake up at 6:30AM and feed her around 3PM a long with some treats in between.
About: I’ve worked with dogs as young as 8 weeks to as old as 15 years. I’ve also worked with dogs as small as a chihuahua to as big as a poodle. Im a college student and have some flexibility in my schedule but working weekends is the best time to pet sit, however if you message me about a specific time during the week id love to see if we can work something out. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether I’m in their home for a drop-in visit or staying overnight. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, so pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. Safety is my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also respect my clients’ homes as if they were my own, keeping things tidy and secure while they’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing both their pets and their home are in trustworthy hands.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.
About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats for over 4 years, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I don’t work right now, so I have a very open schedule and can give pets my full attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to fit your pet’s routine. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision.
About: I’m passionate about providing the best care for pets, no matter their age or needs. From my experience caring for Paris, who required medication on a schedule, I’ve learned the importance of attention to detail and consistency. I’m adaptable and enjoy creating a safe, enriching environment for pets to feel at home. Whether it’s taking a walk, giving medication, or offering companionship, I treat every pet with the love and respect they deserve. Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets I care for by creating a flexible, loving environment. My schedule is designed to ensure that every pet receives the attention they deserve—whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles. I make sure to stick to feeding, medication, and exercise routines to keep pets feeling comfortable and secure. Each day, I dedicate time to ensure that each pet feels like they’re getting the best care possible, no matter what their specific needs are. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure, pet-proofed areas for play and rest. I keep all harmful substances out of reach, and my space is designed to be cozy and calming for all pets. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, including their preferences and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own homes, I maintain their routine as closely as possible, ensuring a familiar and stress-free environment. I communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and reassurance. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved every moment of their stay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 214 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Swall. 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 Swall 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 Swall 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Swall 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.
