About: Have had pets since my youth. Currently have 3 adopted playful dogs, 14yo terrier female mix, 6yo mix and a 6yo male staffie-mix. Aso have a 6yo feline (he acts like a dog). Will come to your pal's home for drop-in visit to feed and for playtime. If desired, I'll even take your pal out for a ride, walk and even hiking and exploring venture If you are a trucker and need someone to take care of your Roaddog while at a shipper or receiver let me know. If your pal has any special medical needs, let me know. My 15yo girl is going blind and requires special attention. The only medical thing I can not provide is shots, but able to provide medications and other special medical support during visit as necessary. My schedule is pretty much open, will keep my calendar updated to help ensure there is no conflict. Will accommodate those whom work night-shift also. The safety and comfort of your pal comes first. Let know of any "no-go zones", such as areas around your residence or neighborhood where he/she is not allowed.
“Maddison was amazing! She was super flexible on a last minute trip and made the accommodations needed. I even had run out of some food & she was kind enough to go pick some up for me. She was great with my farm - dogs, cats, livestock & I highly recommend her! She is super thorough & asks for further information in case of emergencies. She also is a vet tech which made me feel a lot more comfortable leaving my animals in her hands. Will be rebooking!”
“Tamilyn has been the most caring and kind pet sitter we’ve ever had! She took exceptional care of our very large dog, our 3 needy kitties, and our home. She is super communicative and we’ll definitely have her sit for us again!”
About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I have always had cats and dogs since I can remember. When i was 16 I started volunteering at the animal hospital and have done it ever since. I have owned and fostered special needs, elderly and brand new. I can administer meds, help on potty breaks, feed, bathe and play! I work as a realtor and part time dietitian, mostly remotely! I’m very flexible and mostly home! I only leave to show homes or take my kids to school/ activities. I have a fenced yard. A friendly deaf Maltese poodle, a sweet Siberian cat who loves all walks of life. And 2 daughters who LOVE helping and playing with animals. My husband loves them too!
About: I have experience with various different types of animals including cats, and dogs. I love how special and unique each animal is and I love to get to know them and getting to know their personalities. I am working full time and going to school I typically don't work mornings and a couple days during the week I am off and I can stop by and check on them throughout the week. I do anything and everything I can do to take the best care of them, and I always make their health top priority. And treat them like royalty and babies
“Caroline was great!! She took excellent care of my dogs! This was my first time with the house sitting service and I’m so glad it was with Caroline! She was great to communicate and send pics and my pups had a great time with her!!”
“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She stayed in our home the entire time with our dogs and took excellent care of them. She was incredibly respectful of our space, kept the house very clean, and followed everything we asked. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible sitter.”
About: Ive taken care of pets since I was 7. My first pet was a salamander named "Ziggy." My next pet was a cat named "Jenny" who lived until she was 22-years old! Currently I have a blue heeler named "Sugar" who I absolutely Love! Sugar likes treats and needs as much exercise as possible. I throw the ball for her and I take her on a walk every day around 8:00 PM when it cools down. I talk to pets. My voice seems to soothe them if they are nervous about a new person visiting. More importantly, I make sure your pets are safe before I leave. I know what it is like to leave your Fur babies and want to ensure you can relax knowing they are in good hands.
About: Built trust with pets through patience, consistency, and positive interaction. Maintained safe, clean, and comfortable environments for animals at all times. Monitored pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health and reported concerns promptly. On weekends, pet care is a regular and prioritized part of my routine. I plan my schedule to allow enough time for feeding, walking, cleaning, and quality interaction with the pets. I make sure they are fed on time, taken out for exercise, and given attention and play to keep them mentally stimulated. I also monitor their behavior and health, ensuring they are comfortable and safe throughout the day. My weekends are flexible, which allows me to be fully attentive to pets’ needs without rushing. I care for pets by following their established routines, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, cleanliness, and attention. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with owners.
“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was six years old. I’ve always loved dogs. I treat them like I would treat a child. I try and make sure they have everything they need to be successful. I have 2 dogs of my own and I love them to pieces I work for instacart so I can plan my schedule to work for you and your pups! I typically do some side gigs after work but can move things around to ensure the pups are getting the most love and attention possible! I have a big field right behind my apartment where the pups can go potty. My apartment is puppy proof and is safe for all dogs.
About: I have been a part-time dog/cat sitter for most of my life and now that I'm retired I can dedicate even more time! I work part-time from home but my schedule is my own ... so accommodating your schedule should be fairly easy and convenient for the both of us! I live in a townhome community with a public pet area ... but no pets of my own which means your pet will have my undivided attention!
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.
“Jackie is absolutely amazing. I had a unique situation come up while I was gone and she quickly adapted and took such great care of my doggo. I would highly recommend her. She really treated my pup like one of her own and goes above and beyond.”

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 Thatcher 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 Thatcher 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 Thatcher 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
